FRANK LONDON'S
KLEZMER BRASS
ALL-STARS
Carnival Conspiracy: In
the Marketplace All is
Subterfudge
Producer: Frank London
Piranha

Release Date: Jan 10
The first Jews to arrive in America came to New York from Recife, Brazil, more than 350 years ago.  That little known fact fuels this exuberant, happily nutty cross-cultural mash-up.  Helmed by trumpeter Frank London with musicians from eight countries, the group takes Eastern European klezmer through dizzyingly paced global spin:  Just listen to "Who Knows One?," in which an Ashkenazic song meets the percussion of a Brazilian carnival street band, or "A Time of Desire- Cura Mix," in which a traditional Jewish wedding tune recieves a dubbed-out electronica remix.  This Thoroughly raucous disc will goose the welcome to any new year. -AT  01/14/06
