The spectacular HOLLYWOOD KLEZMER performs traditional klezmer with a unique fusion of Eastern, Sephardic, jazz and classical sounds. The band thrills audiences of all ages. Featured performances on TV shows include: Beverly Hills 90210, Party of Five, The Chabad Telethon and KCET's Annual Holiday Celebration. Live concert successes include: The Playboy Jazz Festival (2002), The Hollywood Bowl's children's concerts, the Hadassah National Convention, the Democratic National Convention, and the San Diego Klezmer Festival. Each musician in the group is a star performer in his own right, plucked from the top Hollywood recording studios and international concert circuit. With its roots in Eastern European Jewish culture, this World Music group entertains, educates and uplifts audiences with its joyful celebration music.
Since the band's inception in 1993, producer/guitarist Jordan Charnofsky (Doctor of Musical Arts) has managed and booked the band. Leo Chelyapov (clarinet), Jordan Charnofsky (guitar & mandolin) and Larry Steen (bass) were original members of the band. The group was formed in the summer of 1993 at the Brandeis-Bardin Institute in Simi Valley, California, where Jordan served as Musical Artist-in-Residence for nine years.
HOLLYWOOD KLEZMER is in top demand across the U.S.A. for festivals, concerts, celebrations and benefits at synagogues, universities, elderhostels and exclusive special events, including weddings and bar and bat mitzvahs. The ensemble continually performs highly entertaining and educational concerts for people of all ages.
The members of HOLLYWOOD KLEZMER serve as ambassadors of Jewish culture by preserving and sharing authentic Old World Jewish music in a contemporary society. In addition to perpetuating traditional Yiddish culture, the musicians have created new works by incorporating the true klezmer roots of American jazz and swing into their repertoire. They also explore a myriad of World styles, making their collaboration a truly international Jewish music ensemble.

Excellent CD
author: Michael and Emma S.Leo Chelyapov is so good that every CD of his I have is excellent. Love his unique blend of Klezmer and Jazz.
We are very pleased with our first Klezmer CD.
author: George McKinneyKlezmer music is very entertaining and we might purchase another CD. The music is very different from what we are used to, but enjoyable. Give a well done to the group.
