Klezmerish Dusty Road CD

From rip-roaring klezmer and dynamic tango to their self-penned gypsy jazz, Klezmer-ish bring a trademark twist to whatever genre takes their fancy. Drawing inspiration from the music of bygone travellers, 'Dusty Road' is a seamless musical journey, always on the move.

Meet Klezmer-ish, four incredibly outward-looking classically trained musicians who met whilst playing with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Their fittingly titled album 'Dusty Road' sees the band freeing themselves from the "shackles" of the rigid hierarchy of the orchestra as they explore the music of immigrants from various cultural backgrounds who left their homelands for a different life.

As their name implies, Klezmer-ish cannot simply be pigeonholed as a straight-ahead klezmer act, but rather a band with an incredibly diverse and forever expanding repertoire. Whether it be a tribute to tango's most famous sons Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla in "Volver" and "Kicho", letting loose on multi-instrumentalist Rob's two self-penned gypsy-jazz inspired compositions "September Sun" and "Dusty Road", or the deeply moving Hebrew Song by Shem Tov Levi "Amud Ha'Esh".
