My recent favorite is Les Yeux Noir, who have a strong gypsy slant to their klezmer music. They consist of two brothers who play violin, a cello, plus guitar, bass and drums. If you have a chance, see them live. That is how this music should be heard. They are just releasing a live CD which will hopefully convey the joy and energy of their shows. These guys play some of the fastest music I've ever heard.
Klezmer .. need more
For those who do not know Klezmer music, its a mix of Gypsy/Romainian romantica.
I recently picked up "Doina Klezmer" and this recoding blew me away .. worthwhile for anyone to have in there collection. The label is Proprius and the recording and performance is first class !
If anyone can make additional recommendations on Klezmer music ?... I would be thanksful !!

Matt
