The Modern Klezmer Quartet
Jazz-klezmer Fusion

The group is headed up by Shelley Yoelin with musical arrangements by Bob Applebaum and Shelley Yoelin. They put their own Jazz-infused spin on old Jewish standards, folk songs, theater songs, Klezmer pieces and more with clever and fresh arrangements influenced by Swing and Bebop to Funk and beyond. The original line-up, led by Pianist Bob Applebaum, including Shelley Yoelin on Clarinet, Saxophone, and Flute; Jim Cox on Bass, and Sarah Allen on drums, released albums Hora and Blue and Jazz Klezmerology, and performed shows and festivals with Vocalist Lisa Fishman. Back by popular demand, it is now regrouping under the leadership of Shelley Yoelin.
