The New Orleans Klezmer All Stars:

Tipish

For nearly three decades, the New Orleans Klezmer All Stars’ wildly original sound has remained a cornerstone of one of the most unique and culturally significant live music scenes in the world. Tipish, the band's first studio album in nearly a decade is out April 23, and this diverse collection of seven original compositions and two traditionals finds the Klezmers at a new echelon of musical development, clarity and cohesion. Recorded at New Orleans’ Happyland Theater in November 2023, without isolation booths or overdubs, Tipishfeatures a stunningly wide range of music, all of it as evocative and passionate as it is irreverent and playful.

Tipish is also the first studio album to feature the Klezmers’ longtime horn section, with Ben Ellman (Galactic), Aurora Nealand (Royal Roses, The Monocle) and Dan Oestreicher (Trombone Shorty) on saxophones and Nick Ellman (Naughty Professor) on clarinet. Bassist Joe Cabral and drummer Doug Garrison (The Iguanas) round out the band, along with its co-founders, accordionist Glenn Hartman (Alex MacMurray Band, Lulu and the Broadsides) and guitarist/composer Jonathan Freilich (Washboard Chaz Blues Trio, Naked Orchestra, James Singleton’s Malabar).
