The GRAMMY-winning klezmer superstars made their SFJAZZ Center debut with this inspiring concert filmed in December 2015, performing seasonal music from their 2006 album Happy Joyous Hanukkah that set lyrics by the late Woody Guthrie to their delightful original compositions. Led by the soaring vocals of multi-instrumentalist Lorin Sklamberg, Klezmatics jumpstarted the resurgence of the nearly-forgotten klezmer tradition and contemporized it with an irreverent dose of punk rock attitude, and since their inception, have been one of most visible faces of today’s Yiddish culture. They have collaborated with violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman and Pulitzer prize winner Tony Kushner, and have released eleven diverse albums, including the GRAMMY-winning Wonder Wheel and their most recent, Apikorsim.
