Description
Rip-roaring, foot-stomping, jazz-inflected klezmer and Balkan music from some of Scotland's finest musicians. Moishe's Bagel combines the energy and passion of Eastern European folk music with the excitement and soul of improvisation. Boasting some of the best instrumentalists that Scotland has to offer (Salsa Celtica, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Celtic Feet, Scottish National Jazz Orchestra) this album is an intoxicating, life-affirming mix of Eastern European dance music, Middle Eastern rhythms and viruoso performances.
Moishe's Bagel are Phil Alexander (piano, melodica), Greg Lawson (violin, mandolin), Pete Garnett (accordion), Mario Caribe (bass) and Guy Nicholson (percussion). With Rick Standley (bass).
"Expressive and raunchy... improvising confidence but with a classical attention to detail... striking new material." - The Guardian
"Exhilarating, full-flavoured stuff, often breath-takingly intricate but played with jubilation... the bagel acquires the momentum of an express train" - The Herald
