notes

Veretski Pass, Traditional East European Jewish Music is a recording by the trio of the same name made up of klezmer veterans Cookie Segelstein, Joshua Horowitz and Stuart Brotman. Much of the music on this recording comes from and near the region of the Veretski Pass (after which the group is named) in the Transcarpathian region of what is now Ukraine, the main crossroads through which the Jews traversed the Carpathian Bow. Some melodies were passed on to Cookie by her father who was born in the town of Nizhni Veretski, at the base of this pass. Others were collected by the members themselves in their travels throughout Eastern Europe. Much of the music on this CD is recorded for the first time. The instruments used on this recording are largely 19th Century versions of the violin, viola, 3 stringed bass, basy (3 stringed polish folk cello), bayan (early chromatic button accordion), tsimbl (Jewish hammered dulcimer) and baraban (Jewish bass drum).

"This is the most rocking, roots klezmer album I have heard in years."
Ari Davidow, KlezmerShack

    Just what the doctor ordered .... the right stuff on the right instruments. True to the milieu and the period.

  • Take me home, klezmer roads
    author: Perele from Brooklyn

    A great big yasher koyakh, for putting me in touch with my roots. Authentic, raw, foot-stompin' music. A must-have.
