Kenne nur dieses Album von ihnen. Hier spielen sie aus John Zorns "Book of Angels", also fremdkompositionen die allerdings viel interpretatorischen freiraum bieten. Ganz im Sinne von Zorns Tzadik Label wird hier "radical jewish culture" geboten. Klezmer, Neue Musik und Improvisation treffen sich und vermsichen sich zu...klezmer
