Aleph

Aleph
Cassette - Di Naye Kapelye, 1995

"Bob Cohen has achieved authenticity in the most rewarding way:
He goes to towns all over Romania and Hungary . . . and finds older players, Jewish or Gypsy, and records what they remember. The result is a style of playing that feels so natural and authentic, so demanding of dance and dance and dance, that, for a few moments, other klezmer bands seem artificial and irrelevant."
Ari Davidow, Klezmer Shack
