The klezmer "vaguely classified"s
People keep writing looking for advice, looking for jam sessions, looking for music. For advice, of course, the only reasonable recourse is the jewish-music mailing list. For music or recordings, if I know about it, it's on the "klezvendors" page. Stories and info about bands I've never seen or just e-mail that seemed worth sharing (assuming that the person sending it agreed to go public) goes on the feedback pages. But for the stuff that I'm not sure where to put it, this is the page for that kind of stuff. I'll figure out how to organize stuff as the page gets bigger, or per your suggestions.

Need Music
Independent Film needs music
Evan Kleinman
Date: 27 April 2009I am working on an independent film entitled "We are still here." It is a documentary about my grandparents who are Holocaust survivors from Poland. In this film I will be traveling to Poland to see places where my grandparents were during the war to see what remnants remain. The main scene will be me putting a gravestone on the site where my grandfather buried his brother 60 years ago, who died of disease in a labor camp they were in together, which has been unmarked all this time. I am looking for slow, emotional Klezmer music to use in the film. This is for credit and exposure only. Since this is an independent project and a labor of love, unfortunately I am not able to financially compensate anyone. Looking for individuals who are interested in contributing to an important and inspirational story of survival that must be told. Thank you very much!

Looking for folks to jam/gig
Singer in Czech Republic seeks fellow musicians
Zita Honzlova
Date: 7 Jul 2008I am a singer born and living in Prague, accompanying herself on the piano. I perform my own arrangements of Yiddish and Hebrew folk songs and also original compositions based on poems by David Cooper (US) and Rachel Eshed (IL). My repertoire consists of a fair amount of folk and half folk Yiddish and Hebrew songs, popular as well as almost unknown ones. A delicate piano accompaniment and a desire for the deepest expression of the emotional and other levels of each song are typical for my performances. I am seeking after other musicians or poets who would be interested in some cooperation as well as someone who likes to apply her/his own musical management abilities.

If you have a klez story to tell, comments, reviews to add, or just want to let people know about your band, or have something else to say that I haven't already mentioned (and especially about bad links or other mistakes)--send me e-mail, or use the new feedback form. I'll get it all online as I have time. It's a pleasure!
