The Heart of Klezmer is, overall, a very upbeat album of traditional klezmer music performed beautifully by the young Amsterdam group
Ot Azoj Klezmerband. Presenting a cross section of the variety found in klezmer music, their tunes reference Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey, the Ukraine, and more. With this edition in their world-music series, the Oreade Music label has released an album of fun-loving, well-done instrumentals. ~ Joslyn Layne
