Some of you may have missed the best little concert of the summer, staged outdoors last night by Peter Cramer and the greenthumb-minded folks at Le Petit Versailles in the East Village. Last night it was the soulful artistry of the fun and irreverant sextet, The Isle of Klezbos, who play imaginative versions of eclectic European-rooted Jewish folk music, Yiddish Swing and tango, and a growing repertoire of moving originals.
In the intimacy of the Le Petit Versailles setting, The Isle of Klezbos played to a multi-generational audience ranging from infants to senior citizens and everyone in between.
The crowd was delighted with the entertaining stagewomanship of bandleader-drummer
Eve Sicular and treated to numerous beautiful solos and complex harmony work by saxophonist-clarinetist Debra Kreisberg, trumpeter Pam Fleming, and versatile vocalist, Melissa Fogarty.
Simply a beautiful summer night's evening in the park with ladies who know their craft.
