Eliyahu & the Qadim Ensemble
Wednesday, April 7, 2010, 8:00 PM
Johnny D's Restaurant & Music Club
17 Holland St., Davis Square, Somerville, MA

The Qadim Ensemble, a cross-cultural group of Jewish and Arabic musicians, has joined forces to play for peace on a new CD and concert tour. Produced by celebrated neyzen Eliyahu Sills and Six Degrees' artist Jef Stott, and released by Embarka Records, "Eastern Wind" debuted last summer at #7 on the Billboard World Music Charts. The peacemaking musicians will play one Boston area concert on this East Coast tour at Johnny D's in Davis Square, Somerville, April 7th.

The Johnny D's performance will feature Gari Hegedus on oud and saz, Faisal Zedan on Arabic, Moroccan, Persian & Indian perrcussion, Rachel Valfer Sills on lead vocals and oud, and Eliyahu Sills on ney, bansuri and oud.

"Eastern Wind" masterfully mixes the sounds of Middle Eastern instruments to create a collection of traditional and original songs that celebrate the shared musical and spiritual heritage of a region now deeply divided by ethnic and religious differences. Featuring folk tunes, improvisations, and songs of love and devotion from the 12th century onward, the eclectic ensemble uses traditional instruments to travel on a musical journey through Arabia, Armenia, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Turkey and Yemen.

Jef Stott's digital production brings to life ancient acoustic instruments, including the ney, oud, saz, bansuri flute, kemanche, tablas, doira, qarqaba, bendir, daf, zarb, riqq, darbuka, dhola, and upright bass. "Eastern Wind" features accomplished multi- instrumentalists and vocalists Bouchaib Abdelhadi, Eliyahu Sills, Evan Fraser, Faisal Zedan, Fares Hedayati, John Villa, and Rachel Valfer, the group's lead vocalist.

Tickets: $12 advance / $14 at the door

Jim Guttman CD Release, NYC, 12 Apr 2010

Kleztone Records is proud to present Jim Guttmann's "Bessarbian Breakdown" CD release. Monday, April 12, 9:30 PM Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette St., New York, NY 10003 Jim Guttman, bass with - Alex Kontorovich - clarinet Ted Casher - clarinet and tenor sax Tom Hall - baritone sax Ben Holmes & Frank London - trumpet & cornet Mark Hamilton - trombone Jeremy Brown - violin Art Bailey - piano & accordion Brandon Seabrook - guitar & mandolin Grant Smith - drums & percussion PRE RELEASE ACCOLADES: “On ‘Bessarabian Breakdown,’ Jim Guttmann has assembled an all-star cast of klezmer talent that brings back that wonderful sense of rediscovering a warm, familiar friend infusing the best of the klezmer revival-era recordings of the 1970s and '80s. These virtuosos also explore the affinity among klezmer, Latin and world rhythms with convincing authenticity and integrity.” Seth Rogovoy, author, "The Essential Klezmer: A Music Lover's Guide to Jewish Roots and Soul Music" “Fans of the Klezmer Conservatory Band will immediately recognize the sound and feel of founding bassist Jim Guttmann playing from deep within his wheelhouse the kind of repertoire he has interpreted -- and made his own -- over the years.” Henry Sapoznik, Director, The Mayrent Institute for Yiddish Culture, University of Wisconsin, Madison “Those of us who know Jim Guttmann, musically and personally, can only expect top quality in everything he does. His newest CD, featuring himself and many of the foremost players in the field, satisfies in every way. From traditional klez to funk and Mingus Ah-Um, it's all there --- the stuff is here, and it's mellow!!” Pete “Klezmer Fats” Sokolow, musician extraordinaire "Jim Guttmann takes on the Jewish and Klezmer repertory with abundant humor, passion, and a refreshing dose of over-the-top rowdiness." Dr. Hankus Netsky, Founder and Artistic Director, Klezmer Conservatory Band, Chair, Contemporary Improvisation, New England Conservatory “Bassist Jim Guttmann circles the gypsy wagons, gathers his musical landsmen, gives a strong upbeat, and shazam! -- away they swirl, with a clamorous clutch of klezmer, ‘sving’, hora, frehlekhs, bulgar, and other exuberantly footwarming strains from East of Berlin and South of Moscow… L’chaim, dancers!” Fred Bouchard currently writes about music for Downbeat Magazine, All About Jazz, and the Boston Music Intelligencer.

Balkan Beat Box démarre l'année 2010 en fanfare !! Après avoir passé ces dernières années à sillonner la planète et à mettre le feu à tous les clubs et festivals où ils sont passé – dans la foulée des sorties de Nu-Med (disque paru en 2007) et de Nu-Made (collection de remixes sortie en 2008) – Balkan Beat Box – articulé autour de Tamir Muskat, Ori Kaplan et Tomer Yosef – arrive aujourd'hui a maturité avec un nouvel album intitulé « Blue Eyed Black Boy ».

Enregistré à Vienne (Autriche), à Belgrade (Serbie) et à Tel Aviv (Israël), « Blue Eyed Black Boy » condense entre autres et de façon homogène saveurs méditerranéennes et moyen orientales, folie balkanique, touches latines, éléments reggae, hip hop, electro, cumbia.

Cette collision sonique solidement charpentée est le résultat fidèle de l'énergie sauvage et bouillonnante du groupe, politiquement conscient et engagé, et de leurs grooves toujours aussi "dancefloor friendly".. Une belle façon de rentrer de plain-pied dans le 21è siècle... BBB – alias Tamir Muskat (batterie), Ori Kaplan (sax) et Tomer Yosef (MC/chant) – accompagnés d'au moins 3 musiciens supplémentaires (guitare, basse, cuivres) seront sur les scènes européennes à partir du mois d'avril. Leur show imparable et explosif sera notamment visible à Paris le 13/04 et à Lille le 15/04.

Concert Klezmer avec le duo "Hotegezugt"

Michel Borzykowski (saxophones) & Pier-Yves "Yoyvl" Têtu (accordéon)

Jeudi 15 avril 2010 à 20h30

Le klezmer est la musique que les baladins juifs ont colporté de fête en fête, de "shtetl" (village) en ghetto, en Europe de l'Est du Moyen Âge aux persécutions nazies et staliniennes du vingtième siècle.

Elle s'inspire tant de chants profanes et de danses populaires que de musique liturgique et des "nigunim", mélodies sans paroles par lesquelles les "khasidim" tentaient d'approcher le divin dans une extase mystique communautaire.

Au contact des musiques slaves, tsiganes, turques et grecques, le klezmer a acquis une diversité d'expression et une richesse artistique qui lui valent aujourd'hui un regain d'intérêt dans le monde entier.

Avec ses variations de rythme, ses dissonances, ses ornementations et une part d'improvisation, elle incite à la danse et permet d'exprimer toutes les émotions: joie, tristesse, ivresse, amour ou recueillement, sans oublier l'humour!
