EASY KLEZMER TUNES
by Stacy Phillips
Photo
Book/CD set. In response to requests for a simplified version of his acclaimed "Klezmer Collection", Phillips has compiled a selection of pieces for beginners. Klezmer music, originally from the Jewish ghettoes of Eastern Europe of the 19th and early 20th Centuries, reflects its mix of heritages from Europe, Near East and Gypsy. These arrangements are based on some of the earliest classic recordings in Europe and America. Each is arranged for C, Bb, Eb and bass clef instruments. Brass, reed, piano, flute, and string players can receive instant gratification from these entry level arrangements. The CD demonstrates ensemble versions of all the music, performed slowly, by world class klezmer artists on clarinet, violin, guitar and bass. 130 pp.

THE BOOK OF KLEZMER: THE HISTORY, THE MUSIC, THE FOLKLORE
by Yale Strom
Photo
Klezmer is Yiddish music, the music of the Jews of Europe and America. Born in the Middle Ages, it came of age in the shtetl (the Eastern European Jewish country town). Most of the European klezmirim (klezmer players) were murdered in the Holocaust: in the last 25 years, however, klezmer has been reborn, with dozens of groups, often mixing klezmer with jazz or rock, gaining followers worldwide. This book traces the music's entire history, using extensive documentary material; interviews with luminaries such as Theodore Bikel, Leonard Nimoy, Joel Grey, Andy Statman, and John Zorn; and dozens of stirring, unpublished photographs. Hardcover, 381 pp.
