JetЛаг-2010 presents: KLEZMER-SET at SPELL-ART

WHAT IS KLEZMER?
WELL, IT DEPENDS IN WHAT LANGUAGE!
In Hebrew it's: "a blend of melodies" (kle-zemer), "musical instruments".
In Yiddish it's: "a musician" playing Jewish folk music (for example) at weddings.
In English, it has three meanings: (1) "A modern musical style, with ties to Jewish folk music".
(2) "A modern musical style, with ties to ethno-avantgardism, radicalism, experimentalism... in short - serious listening"
(3) "A modern ethnic mix, fusion, not necessarily Israeli, not necessarily folk, and not necessarily music; But it's very cool." (аmer.)
In Russian it's: Everything above, an so much more.
THE KLEZMER SET at SPELL-ART will be showcasing musicians who are familiar with all of these different meanings of Klezmer and are able to bring them to life. Such as:
Frank London (The Klezmatics, Klezmer Brass Allstars, Hassidic New Wave, Afro-Semitic Experience) - Trumpet player, Composer, Arranger, Band leader, and Teacher.
Dmitri ‘Zisl’ Slepovitch (Minsker Kapelye, Foolish Band, National Yiddish Theatre – Folksbiene) - Clarinetist, Researcher of Jewish folklore, Ethnomusicologist, Singer, and Composer
And other musicians....
