The Klez-X mines the rich depths of klezmer, Yiddish song, and modern jazz to create a brilliantly original sound, rooted in the bedrock of Yiddish culture. Born out of the Bay Area, the birthplace of the 1970s klezmer revival and home to one of the country’s most progressive and fertile music scenes, the Klez-X boasts an all-star roster of highly versatile and innovative musicians including: Sheldon Brown (clarinet), Alan Hall (drums), Jeanette Lewicky (vocals), Rob Reich (accordion), Richard Saunders (bass), Stephen Saxon (trumpet, vocals), Charlie Seavey (trombone).
