Berkshire Eagle, Top 10 >>
Excerpt from Top 10 CDs of 2002
by Seth Rogovoy
In spite of my best offorts to listen to as much new music as possible this past year, not only am I sure I missed plenty of albums that might have vied for the year-end Top 10 list, I probably overlooked several that I did hear and subsequently forgot about.
I did a little digging to find what I might have otherwise missed, but mostly these are the albums that stuck in my mind -- or in my CD player -- at the end of the year, which probably says more than anything I can come up with to explain why they are worthy of your attention.
8) Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars "Brotherhood of Brass" (Piranha)
This cross-cultural effort found musical and perhaps spiritual affinity among the brass-band traditions of Jewish Eastern Europe, the Gypsies and the Egyptians - truly a "brotherhood of brass." 12/02/02
