Few bands, no matter the genre, play with the vigor, humor and love of life as do the New Orleans Klezmer Allstars. With tongue firmly in cheek (but hand soundly on heart), the Allstars create a unique, funky brand of traditional Yiddish music. The Big Kibosh, their second release, is a strong follow-up to their debut!
