Klez-Edge (our quartet version of Klezmokum) has 3 concerts coming up in Holland including a concert that will be recorded in Amsterdam at the Martin Luther Kerk on 29 April. We have all new material that focuses on the fact that klezmer and jazz have a long time close affiliation. For example we do an updated version of two klezmer classics: Yikhes and Yiddish Blues. Both pieces have a history of at least 100 years and anyone with a discerning ear can hear the jazz as well as the klezmer roots of this music! Another example that I have extended of more recent origin is Indian Judaic Song...
