So much is spoken of what touches the Heart,
The Soul, the Mind. So much is spoken of the Word. And yet so much experience is from a different place, the place of the viscera, the kishkes.
Hence, here they are: Tales From the Kishkes.Merlin Shepherd, acclaimed player, teacher and interpreter of traditional East European Klezmer Clarinet style, features the former Soviet Union Klezmer All Stars or, in his own words, some of the greatest klezmer players in the world today. Go and hear for yourself! One has hardly heard before Klezmer played with such passion, such authority, such pleasure and such a lack of attitude. Jewish Music directly from the heart, the soul and, not to forget, from the kishkes. Jewish music that comes closer to one of the many ways that it may or probably may not have sounded so long ago.
