Review

Yiddish Zydeco? Believe it. Kol Simcha is not a fusion band but a new breed of Klezmer musicians with a distinctly contemporary sound. Forsaking the traditional accordion, Kol Simcha (pronounced coul-sim-HA) has adapted a sophisticated jazz sound to this eastern European folk music. To the traditional clarinet and flute, Kol Simcha has added a jazz rhythm section of acoustic bass, drum and piano. The songs conjure up all the joy, celebration, romance, and sadness of a wedding reception. ~ MusD, All Music Guide
