Klezmer Company Orchestra CD Beyond The Tribes Klezmer Company Orchestra, an out-of-the box ensemble that masterfully fuses jazz, classical and (More) Klezmer Company Orchestra, an out-of-the box ensemble that masterfully fuses jazz, classical and ethnic music, is heralding the national release of its debut studio-produced album "Beyond the Tribes." The groundbreaking album is a celebration of cultural fusion and a tribute to ethnic melodies. The 12-track recording is energetic and pulsates with Latin, Arabic and African rhythms.
Klezmer revivalist Aaron Kula, a prolific composer, accordionist and founder of the 11-year-old KCO, balances tradition and innovation throughout the 50-minute recording. The music seems to bend time and timbre as Kula morphs exotic melodies into entirely different songs that push innovation to the extreme and ultimately into the 21st century. Kula worked on the orchestrations and compositions for nearly two years prior to recording them in the studio, always striving to balance tradition with innovation. Absolute rules have no place in "Beyond the Tribes." Simply put, the music defies common classification. One writer even described the KCO sound as "world music on steroids."
Each song has its own back story and features different KCO members who contribute their own improvisational style to the orchestrations. The opening track called JewOrleans March, is a fusion of New Orleans jazz and a100-year-old Rumanian melody. Dos Mambo Freylachs superimposes a hyper drive Latin percussion section over fragments of an old Klezmer melody from Eastern Europe. Macedonian Tantz (dance) is a fusion composition that combines a bulgar (Slavic dance) rhythm with folk songs from Macedonia, resulting in a complex asymmetrical 7/8 meter. Teresa's Bulgar is a Romanian song that features the xylophone in a super fast improvised style. Vocalist Elena Correia provides sultry performances on the Spanish rendition of Eishishoken Nigun (melody) and on Miami Beach Rumba. Trumpeter Chaim Rubinov orchestrated two Latin dance-band songs on the CD including Miami Beach Rumba and Bet Hamikdash a la Salsa. The final track Wrong Note Freylach is an original composition for the full orchestra where Kula uses fragments of an old tune with an accompaniment that stresses chromatic chaos. The result is harmonic hysteria that is frenetic and funny.
KCO features a 22-member orchestra includes 8 core soloists and a vocalist, with accomplished backgrounds in classical and jazz music. Featured instruments on the album include electric and acoustic violin, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, flügelhorn, flute, trombone, bass, drums, percussion, piano and accordion.
Beyond the Tribes is an independent release produced by Kula and associate producer Terri Berns. The CD is available online through CDBaby.com, iTunes music store and DigStation.com or can be ordered directly from www.klezmercompany.com. (Less)
