After traveling the world, hosting his own musical TV show and raking in the awards, this talented multi-instrumentalist (drums, saxophone, clarinet) and bandleader knows that the appeal of polka isn’t just some nostalgia trip. Jimmy’s ability, skill and irreverent playfulness, make polka music sound as vital as ever.

MOY NATENZON: ALGO DE LUZ Y OSCURIDAD
This stunning album of Flamenco and Gypsy-tinged World fusion is an intoxicating mix of passion and restraint. From the very first track, which blends emotive, heart-wrenching vocals with minimalist percussion, you know you’re in for something both moving and unique. Moy Natenzon’s principle concern seems to be in balancing sound and emotion. Each voice and instrument plays a pivotal role, conveying maximum intensity without cluttering the sonic picture or overwhelming your senses.

MARA!: Live in Europe
So often, World fusion music relies on studio tricks, synthesized ambience, sampled drum grooves, or bottomless reverb to create its sense of wonder and mystery. Thankfully, Mara! has released a live album that has stripped away the production bells and whistles. The true power and impact of this music comes from the interplay of five virtuosic human beings onstage with real instruments and a desire to blend countless influences (folk, jazz, rock, Celtic, Balkan, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, etc.) into a thrilling, cohesive whole.
