About Amsterdam Klezmer Band
Klezmer, the East European Jewish music with gypsy and Balkan
influences, originally is a form of dance and party music.
Bandleader/saxophonist Job Chajes' Amsterdam Klezmer Band, founded
in 1996, has found its way to a broad audience after a remarkable
advance by means of squares, pubs and later various festivals with
their serious mix of Yiddish, Ska and Balkan music. The greater
part of the music was written by the musicians themselves, who all
contribute to an ever growing collection of inspiring Balkan
cross-overs. Through the years there have been numerous
collaborations with related groups. Like the gypsy company Galata
Gypsie Band from Turkey, the result of which was recorded on the CD
Katakofti from 2003. Just as remarkable was the musical melting pot
created with the original jazz trio Man Bites Dog. Recently they
presented beats with klezmer in the Amsterdam Klezmer Band Remixed
Project in collaboration with DJ's C-mon & Kypski.
