The Alexandria Kleztet
The
Alexandria Kleztet is an exciting and innovative alternative klezmer band
based in the Washington/Baltimore region. Formed in 1998, they have
brought their distinctive brand of this musical tradition to diverse venues
throughout the Mid-Atlantic, including seven annual appearances at the Kennedy
Center, the Carter-Barron Ampitheatre, the State Theater (Falls Church, VA),
the Baltimore International Festival, the Peabody Conservatory, as well as
a healthy assortment of bookstores, festivals, and coffee shops--plus, the
usual mix of weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs!
By combining traditional Eastern-European/Jewish music with diverse influences
from other genres, such as jazz, classical, worldbeat, and rock music, The
Alexandria Kleztet creates a unique sound that is anything but traditional. Their most recent CD, Close Enough for Klezmer, was released in October 2005. All three of their albums, including Y2Klezmer (1999) and Delusions of Klezmer (2002),
were named “Best World Music Recording” by the Washington Area Music Association
(WAMA) following their release. All are available at the band's live shows,
through all the major on-line music retailers, as well as directly from the
band at www.kleztet.com.
The Alexandria Kleztet consists of Seth Kibel on assorted woodwinds, Helen
Hausmann on violin, Scott Harlan on electric bass, and Tim Jarvis on drums
and percussion. ====================================================
