About the Klezmer Revival:
The story goes that Henry Sapoznik, one of the founding members of Kapelye, one of the original 'Klezmer Revival" bands, was down south trying to learn some traditional banjo licks from one of the old timey players and was asked, "don't you Jewish people have ethnic music of your own?" Indeed, Jewish musicians by the score emigrated to the United States at the end of the last century and the first decades of this century. Here they found jazz and other world music cultures. For a few decades an American klez style flourished. You could hear the influences of the Greek and Balkan and Eastern European melodies left behind, but this Americanishe version was also influenced by music from America--especially jazz. Parallel to klez was the Yiddish theatre, and the golden age of Jewish Cantors, and the Yiddish folk traditions. Then our parents and grandparents became "good Americans," and by the Sixties, klez was an unimaginative arrangement of "Sunrise, Sunset," played at Jewish weddings and old folks homes ...

Klezmer in Germany: June 1990. Jerusalem, Ben Yehuda Street. I am in Israel for the first time. It's one month before the German currency was unified, the band is broke and we are busking. A huge crowd gathers, big applause after every tune. When we finish our set a young man throws a coin into the violin case and asks me, "Where are you from?" "Berlin," I answer, and the young man looks at me doubtfully. "Berlin? Germany?" I nod and he asks, "Are you guys Jewish?" "None of us, we are Germans," I say. The young man is in despair and after a while he asks, "Can I take my money back?" I nod and he takes a coin out of the violin case.
I was organizing a concert in New York when an older man approached me and offered to be the band's American agent. "We can make loads of money", he promised. "The fact that you guys are from Germany and not Jewish will get us an audience" ...
