Europe Klezmer music was
renowned for its unorthodox
tonalities complex ornamen
tation and widely interlock
ing rhythms. Immigrant
musicians brought Klezmer
music to the New World at
the turn of the century where
it exchanged influences with
ragtime and vaudeville to
become an important
historical component of
American jazz and popular
music.
Klesmer music — it’s been
underground for 50 years.
Now it's back!
