Re: Can I Play?

In addition to Katrina's recommendations I suggest looking into Helmut Eisel's youtube videos, eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjkyRpTSDvk. It's a perfect demonstration of how tight Klezmer, Jazz, Blues and improvisation are intertwined. This is when I realised that I'd take me another x years of getting familiar with all the scales and their effects until I could do it. And I don't even have any eastern/jewish blood rushing through my veins (at least as far as my parents would tell me...). Sigh.
Eisel has written a book (in German, roughly translated title) "From Klezmer to improvisation" of which an english excerpt is available on his home page.

Good luck.
