Album Notes

First there were autocracies, plutocracies, dictatorships, and democracies. Then, everything mutated and fell apart. Up from the ashes rose a new system. Behold . . .

K L E Z M O C R A C Y

The freewheeling musical combo Klezmocracy leaves few musical stones unturned. This eclectic group of professionals has pooled their many years of musical experience and are cooking up an Afro-Hebrew musical stew seasoned with Latin, Jazz, Cabaret, Rock and Klezmer.

The group is made up of Ralph Huntley (piano/keyboards), Joseph Janiga (drums and percussion), Michael Papillo (double and electric bass), and Courtney Von Drehle (saxophones and accordion).

REVIEWS

a fine jazz album
author: Brian
My head just heard Klezmocracy as a jazz band with a different rhythm...or rhythms. Well played, fun and inventive. I'll be buying this album as a gift for some of my jazz-listening friends.

This outstanding CD gets better each time you listen to it.
author: DSR
This CD with its eclectic blend of klezmer, African, jazz and Latin influences is just a delight to the ear. One song has you sitting back, mellow, the lights dim, with a glass of warm cognac and then the next gets you up and dancing with an infectious case of happy feet. The musicians are superb, the production is sublime -- it defies description or categorization. It just plain makes you feel good! BUY THIS CD -- you will not be sorry!

Great synthesis of Klezmer and Jazz
author: Jerry Barkman
I saw the OPB presentation of Klezmocracy and after listening to the CD, I greatly appreciated the merger of musical styles. The music is great and has enough variety to keep it from becoming boring. Keep up the good work, guys.
