From Both Ends Of The Earth

The ensemble From Both Ends of the Earth plays real roots music: traditional Yiddish and Ukrainian melodies, infused with elements of jazz, folk music, and rhythm and blues, interpreted by five of the most versatile and dynamic musicians in Canada. Their music has been described as Old soul music, by Randall McElroy of Uptown and given 4.5 stars by The Winnipeg Free Press. ... The band proves that it is still a traditional klezmer band, but one that has also absorbed the best of the music around them... I was dazzled... KlezmerShack From Both Ends of the Earth began as a trio of Canada's finest musicians meeting in a cross-genre project. The group was formed with an interest in interpretations of traditional Yiddish and Ukranian music in a modern light. After a series of highly successful concerts in Winnipeg, the group expanded from a trio to a quintet. The ensemble plays music from the past, with their hearts, and transforms the infinitely rich traditional klezmer catalogue into music for today.
