Theater Review: “The King of Second Avenue” — Did Somebody Say Putz?

The King of Second Avenue’s one-joke shtick wears out long before the end of this 90-minute musical.

Concert Review: Vessels of Song — Boston Musica Viva Marks Rosh HaShanah

To my mind, with Assembly of the Souls, composer Eitan Steinberg is working in Pulitzer contention territory.

Music Feature: Rolling With Ezekiel’s Wheels

“We’re in this really great place now where the music [klezmer] can sound fairly traditional in style but at the same time we can do more in-depth arrangements.”

Film Review: Those Cuddly and Krazy Klezmatics

The documentary “The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground” is pleasing to watch, but there are a number of ways of respecting as well as loving great artists, the most important being coming up with the chutzpah necessary to ask the tough questions that generate illuminating, inspiring, or interesting answers.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Film Tagged: documentary, Klezmatics, klezmer, Yiddish, Yiddish music
