By rooting their music in the ancient modes and melodies of Jewish music and then expanding in contemporary directions, The Klezmatics produce art that is resonant with tradition and yet unbound by it. Rise Up, their first non-collaborative release in five years, continues the sonic journey begun on classic albums like Jews With Horns and The Well. From the freewheeling to the forlorn, Rise Up reinvents klezmer as only the acclaimed Klezmatics can. Produced by Ben Wisch.
