Hi Jordan,

I think that you should listen to some Klezmer recordings to get a sense of the
Klezmer sounds. Listening will teach you a lot more than getting specific how
to's in terms of licks. Using ornamentation without knowledge of how it is used
could make the music sound trite.

Recordings from the Klezmer Concervatory Orchestra (Don Byron is the
clarinetist) or from Andy Statman or Dave Tarris would be useful.

I've just joined this interest group and am amazed at the activity.
