Many of you on Klarinet have asked about the availability of published
klezmer music.

With that in mind, I would like to inform list members that (IMHO) a
wonderful book has just been published by a colleague of mine, which contains
twenty klezmer tunes by such klezmer greats as Dave Tarras, Naftule
Brandwein, Shloimke Beckerman, Abe Schwartz and Misha Ziganoff. Each tune,
transcribed by Sy Kushner, contains the ornamentation as originally
performed.

Included with the book is a CD containing the original, complete performances
of all twenty pieces.

The Klezmer Music Fake Book, Vol. I is available in both Bb and C versions
(each containing chord symbols) from: Kush Publications, 61 Bon Aire Ave.,
New Rochelle, NY 10804. The price is $29.95 (US) per book + $5.00
shipping/handling for the first book, $3.00 for each additional book. Those
of you on the list ordering from outside the U.S. should add $3.00 to the
total for international shipping. Checks/money orders should be made payable
to: Kush Publications.

I had the honor of participating in the digital transfer of the original
recordings contained in this book, and can say without prejudice that the
repertoire covered therein is a treasure trove for anyone with a desire to
play this profoundly beautiful music.
