Led by trumpeter Frank London, the Klezmer Brass Allstars are comprised of members of the world's leading klezmer bands. Combining their knowledge, talents, and decades of research into the traditional roots of klezmer, together they set out to capture the sound and ethos of the raucous, earthy old-country klezmorim of the 19th century. The dance tunes of the old masters—the bulgars, freylekhs, and khosidls, as well as doynes, horas, waltzes, and a beat they referred to as “the Oriental”—form the core of the klezmer repertoire; the furious tempi at which they were played is said to have inspired frenzied dancing that defied description. Frank and the Allstars have apparently succeeded in their mission, delivering performances described by one critic as “a frenzied eruption of klezmer … like a street party to which everyone's invited, it quickly gets hot, sweaty, and dizzyingly intense.”
