Isle of Klezbos approaches Yiddish musical traditions with loving irreverence and profound respect.
Now in their 25th anniversary year, with a touring history from Vienna to Vancouver, they recently released their celebratory album "Yiddish Silver Screen"(Zilberne Kino) with a launch party concert at Joe's Pub. This album follows up their award-winning debut "Greetings from the Isle of Klezbos" and their acclaimed concert recording "Live From Brooklyn".
With repertoire ranging from rambunctious to swinging to ethereal, Isle of Klezbos has been seen and heard on HBO, NPR, CBS Sunday Morning, PBS and “The L Word,” as well as enjoying collaborations with artists such as Jill Sobule, Gregg Bordowitz and the Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling Scissor Sisters. The ensemble's own Off-Off Broadway hit J. Edgar Klezmer: Songs from My Grandmother's FBI Files was praised by The New York Times for lively score & smart writing.
Lauded by New York Magazine for "cutting edge klezmer," and the L.A. Blade as "rapturous and rollicking," the band specializes also in re-grooved standards, obscure vintage soundtrack gems, and genre-defying originals.
Debra Kreisberg - clarinet & alto sax; Pam Fleming - trumpet; Melissa Fogarty - vocals; Saskia Lane - upright bass; Eve Sicular - drums / bandleader; Ilya Shneyveys - accordion & piano
