So much is spoken of what touches the
Heart, The Soul, the Mind. So much is spoken of the Word. And yet so much
experience is from a different place, the place of the viscera, the kishkes.
Hence, here they are: Tales From the Kishkes.
Merlin Shepherd, acclaimed player, teacher and interpreter of traditional
East European Klezmer Clarinet style, features the former Soviet Union Klezmer
All Stars or, in his own words, some of the greatest klezmer players in the
world today. Go and hear for yourself! One has hardly heard before Klezmer
played with such passion, such authority, such pleasure and such a lack of
attitude. Jewish Music directly from the heart, the soul and, not to forget,
from the kishkes. Jewish music that comes closer to one of the many ways that
it may or probably may not have sounded so long ago.
