For their debut album, London-based klezmer buskers She'koyokh
deliver a fair spread of klezmer offerings from around the Balkans
and a bit beyond. The album starts out in the Ukraine, but moves
quickly to a teetering, fast-paced Bulgarian dance and a Greek loop
of sound. A Turkish dance brings out a new set of sonic
possibilities for the band, another Bulgarian piece brings the
group back to its faster dance style, and a haunting Ukrainian
melody lets violinist Meg Hamilton show off her chops quite well.
Heading to American shores, an old Dave Tarras number gives
clarinetist Susi Evans a chance to break out with a singsong of
sorts. A couple of loping pieces move from dance to pastoral, and a
bit of improvisation (that morphs into "What Do You Do with a
Drunken Sailor") shows off the ensemble's real ability to put
together a romp. The trombone is transformed into a trumpet in the
playful "Europeyishe Kolomeyke," and the album ends on a pair of
wedding songs, one old and one new (and vocalized). The group
doesn't have the force and power of some of the front guard of
klezmer (like Frank London's various associations), but is more
forward-looking than most of the classic ensembles. A nice balance
shows up between tradition and modernism -- though it never quite
reaches the point that it seems to promise, it's a fine sound and a
good collection from a fairly new band. ~ Adam Greenberg
