Jul 7, 2008 - Thanks!! Do they all contain vocals?? Are they all in swing style??

evesicular Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Each CD includes some swing tunes, & more vocals too, plus lots of instrumentals. The most swing & vocals are on our latest two CDs: "Traveling Show" (live concert) & "Surprising Finds"... there are also Yiddish swing tracks on our first 2 Metro.Klezmer CDs & our Isle of Klezbos CD, though of our earlier discs the one with more vocals is "Mosaic Persuasion." ("Yiddish for Travelers" & "Greetings from the Isle of Klezbos" both include Yiddish swing vox, but are mainly instrumentals.)

Jul 7, 2008 - Brilliant, it's great what you can do with a band of 8 good musicians - I've only got a duo..

evesicular Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Yes. They're also in the booklet of "Surprising Finds," where we first recorded our version of this tune. The traditional has many verses: this one is -- Ot azoy neyt a shnayder//Ot azoy varft er shtekh //A shnayder neyt un neyt un neyt//Un hot kadokhes, nit keyn broyt [NOTE: due to diff. Yiddish dialect prounciations, 'neyt' and 'breyt' can be rhymes].

evesicular Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Yes, our vocalist knows what she's singing about. This tune, though it has the theme of poverty, was previously adapted as an up-tempo swing in a diff. yet also sunny version by Cab Calloway. This verse translates: "That's the way the tailor sews, that's how he makes his stitches. A tailor sews and sews and sews and has plagues, but not any bread."

evesicular Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Agreed!!!
