Οι προστατευόμενοι του John Zorn The Crakow Klezmer Band ήταν ένα Πολωνικό σχήμα που συνδύαζε το klezmer [παραδοσιακή μουσική των Εβραίων Ασκενάζι] με την αβανγκάρντ και την τζαζ. Τους ακούμε σε μια σύνθεση του ακορντεονίστα – leader Jaroslaw Bester. Aπό το live άλμπουμ Remembrance του 2007 – τελευταίο πριν απ’ τη μετονομασία τους σε Bester Quartet.

✻

John Zorn’s protégés The Crakow Klezmer Band was a Polish outfit which combined klezmer [Jewish Ashkenazi musical tradition] with avant-garde and jazz.
We hear a composition by their leader – accordionist Jaroslaw Bester. From the live album, Remembrance of 2007, last one before changing their name to Bester Quartet.

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
