'LOOSELY DESCRIBED, ITS ELECTRIC JAZZ, BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT, CAPTAIN.'
After the successful tour of KENNEDY & KROKE in 2003 and 2004 and their CD East meets East (Emi Classics 2003), Kennedy now goes again on stage with the pioneers in Klezmer and folk style.The addition of Kennedy's violin adds spectacular excitement with each piece of music offering something fresh and striking: Music full of melancholia, infectious dance rhythms and stunning melodies: Klezmer meets Folk meets Classic.
