Celebrate Klezmer

**Spring Cleaning~All Craig 'N Co. Cds $10.99 this month** For those who love the genre, you can't ask for a more eclectic mix of music. For those new to this exciting music, it is the perfect introduction to some of the most popular artists in the field. Produced for Craig 'n Co. by Frank London and Lorin Sklamberg this release represents the ultimate collection of Klezmer songs. Established in 1999, the Celebrate Series has introduced hundreds of thousands of listeners to the best collection of Jewish music in the world. The award winning series is a treasure of musical styles from Klezmer to Ladino from Rock 'n Roll to Cantorial, from Yiddish to Kids... there's something for everyone. With 12 titles to chose from, The Celebrate Series packages great music, by great artists and takes the guess work out of shopping for Jewish music. So go ahead...don't you think it's time to Celebrate? Here's what people are saying: 'On this release, Frank London and Lorin Sklamberg have assembled a very tasty collection of (mostly) current (mostly) North American klezmer bands, the sort of collection that any klezmer aficionado will immediately rush to the CD changer, but provides the perfect gift for Uncle Lou and Aunt Betty who don't normally listen to that loud klezmer stuff but are just a bit curious as to why everyone they know seems enamored of the music. ...this CD is not only a sampler of excellent, listenable klezmer, but provides a means to purchase CDs from each band or musician to delve more deeply. I should have expected no less from London and Sklamberg, but among the many incredible, representative slices of klezmer, this CD absolutely represents the idea of 'Celebrate Klezmer!'. It also comes in time to be an excellent Chanukah present. Make yourself, and a few friends very happy this holiday season.' -Ari Davidow, klezmershack.com.
