For the first time in my life I sat down and gave it a good couple hours listening too. I discovered it on my internet radio program and absolutely LOVE it! The use of clarinets (or rather "clarinet" singular for most songs I heard) is great. And it's such fascinating music. I heard one piece, which after some careful listening turned out to be in 7/8 time signature with a tuba playing what would be a string bass or bass guitar line in any other band. And very intriguing melodies too!
Looks like I have something up there to rival my love of chamber music. I have to give it a while of listening too but I like what I hear so far.
For anyone on this board who reads it and hasn't really give it a try, I suggest trying it. I can't recommend any bands or anything as I'm not knowledgable enough, but if you can find an internet radio program (www.netscape.com will provide you with the one that I have that has klezmer music as well as other types) give it a listen!
I'll probably be annoying everyone with posts on this both here and on the klezmer board now too.

Retired, playing more sax than clarinet, but still playing clarinet and still loving it!

Artie Shaw was once told his credenza(sp) on a song(I can't remember which) sounded "Klezmer"......and he said it wasn't intended to be....just a a spur of the moment thing.....BUT.....I'll bet with his Jewish ancestory...It was a subliminal tribute......Klezmer Rules!
