About This Music
Klezmer music, with its distinctive clarinet melodies, accordion harmonies, and driving rhythms, was the soundtrack to celebrations in Jewish communities for centuries. Yiddish Swing emerged when these traditional sounds met American jazz, creating a unique fusion that captured the immigrant experience in North America.
