Hey all,
I just got back from an Honor Band gig and there was this cool ensemble there. I'm so ready to jump into klezmer (sp?) music head first. Are there any good books to get me started? Also, do any national retailers (Barnes and Noble, etc..) sell the CDs I've seen mentioned in other posts? I'm wary of buying anything online. Thanks!

Go to www.jewishmusic.com, which is Tara Publications. They are reliable and I have never had a problem with them. They sell everything. You might want to start with the Kammen books no.'s 1 and 9, as far as "reading material" is concerned. There is also a book by Henry Sapoznick which teaches the fundamentals of klezmer music as far as scales and modes are concerned. Yes, your local B & N, Tower, etc., have a nice selection of klezmer cd's. If you live near a big city you can go to a Judaica store and find music books and cd's there, as well. To get tune books you really need the on-line or the Judaica stores; most regular music stores don't have that great a selection.
Also, plug the word klezcamp or klezkamp into your search engine.The organization which runs it (whose name I forget; that's why I'm telling you to search for it this way), is a source of info, particularly about workshops. And go listen to some live klezmer concerts and talk to the musicians afterwards.
Hope this helps.
Steve

Thanks Nate! I nearly fainted when I read that email. Almost shook my faith in decent people until I read that you edited it.

No problem. I'm embarrassed that it stayed there as long as it did. I would certainly not allow such a thing to stay on here. If anyone should notice any posts that they find offensive, or feel should be edited, please let me know by emailing me at klezmerklarinet@sneezy.org, and I will promptly look at the post in question, and edit it, should need be.
Also, in response to your original question, I think that Steve said it best. These are the best places to start looking. Good luck with your search! :-) -- Nate Zeien
