RE: Klezmer Vibrato

I think that vibrato definitely has its place in klezmer. The manner in which vibrato is used depends on the piece, and varies with each arist's style and preference. The older style does appear to be a tight shimmer effect for the most part. During slower pieces more open vibrato in generally used. Vibrato is often slightly more subtle in klezmer than it is in jazz. I would experiment with different styles, and see which you like best. It must be remembered that everyone's style is different. In my opinion it all depends on the mood of the piece (and the player too!). Overall, I would use tighter vibrato more the more upbeat pieces and slower, more expressive vibratto for the slower ones. This would be sticking with the traditional playing best in my opinion. -- Nate Zeien
