Album Cover: Betsune Nanmo Klezmer - Omedeto [Nani, 1994]

Day 51: Betsune Nanmo Klezmer - Omedeto [Nani, 1994]

Big band klezmer from Japan! A tight seventeen piece band helmed by Kazutoki Umezu featuring the vocal stylings of Tokyo Nammy & Makigami Koichi. Blends traditional klezmer with more experimental impulses, branching out in all directions. Joyous.

Me: Can I have klezmer?
Mom: We have Klezmer at home.

Klezmer at home:

Ah yes, “sort of a trope”

“It’s like in Being John Malkovich when he goes in the room and everyone is like ‘Malkovich Malkovich,’ but with klezmer.”

- no-context thing I was saying to someone in a dream just before walking up the other day

last.fm yearly report with top 5 artists being The Klezmatics, Rotfront, The Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band, Golem, and Underworld

lastfm yearly report came out

a photo (taken by Jordan) of two klezmer albums, the 12" LP "Taytsh / The Heart Deciphers" & the 7" EP "Kishinev in Galisteo"

got to work with incredible klezmer musician Jordan Wax on both an EP & LP coming out early next year! cover photography is by Annie Quick, but i did the hand-lettering, layout & extra art for both albums (more images & link to preorder in this thread!)

The banjo has been used in klezmer music for over a century

No real need for us to appease racists or people who are anti-convert

Is “by-birth” really a necessary qualifier here?

Where's the klezmer? show me the klezmer.

oh that's unrelated!! Borscht Beat released Chronika 😀 thanks for the support

The Peacock and the Sunflower, by Veretski Pass & Joel Rubin 29 track album

Veretski Pass & Joel Rubin put out a new album on Borscht Beat today. They're kind of like the "early music scholars" of the klezmer scene with a very rich sound as a result. Saw them preview this album live in Victoria this past summer in a historic synagogue venue there, really great.

Hanging out at 2AM getting started writing some Christmas cards and listening to "Chronika" by the Klezmer Brass All Stars. 😎🤘

This will help me ace my blood test tomorrow, right? Late nights and good music?

of course people only have one joke ... smh

Now that I'm on Bluesky I'll be replying to everyone who says something annoying about klezmer 👀
