I love the new Margot Leverett and Klezmer Mountain Boys CD
(http://www.klezmermountainboys.com). Granted, I know most of the
repertoire because I've filled in on a couple of gigs, but it's filled
with a mind-boggling assortment of musicians, from the regulars (Kenny
Kosek, Barry Mitterhoff, etc.) to Frank London (the best trumpet player
most of the world has never heard).

Just don't forget Krakauer's previous solo album, "A New Hot One" which
does some of the most amazing jazz influenced klezmer you'll ever hear,
and Krakauer's bass clarinet playing alone is worth the price.
