Gypsy meets the Klezmer – Helmut Eisel & Joscho Stephan

Joscho Stephan & Helmut Eisel quartet also recorded an album on which two styles are mixed. This time Klezmer and gypsy. The gypsy-swing guitar of Stephan and the Klezmer clarinet of Eisel create a laid back, Klezmer-swing sound. Helped by the rhythm guitar of Gunter Stephan and Max Schaaf´s double bass, this is jazzy music played by two master musicians. There is chemistry between the musicians and their styles. This is music for the lounge moments, the late evenings to dream away on. Well played, strong musical arrangements and most suitable for those who wants to relax after the more outspoken dance-klezmer of all those brass-klezmer bands that exist worldwide. A pure album, close your eyes and enjoy. (FOLKWORLD 7/2013)
