New Zealand, being small and isolated from the rest of the world, is a place where people have always had to work with what they got – so the odd-for-klezmer instrumental lineup of the JBB is somewhat of a New Zealand phenomenon. There are cultural influences ranging from Celtic, Fresian, jazz, blues, rock and so on but this melding of other musical streams is nothing new for Klezmer.With a rare combination of virtuoso musicianship and wicked self parody, this eclectic, eccentric, energetic band from New Zealand radiates musical mischief and mayhem wherever it goes. Its exhilarating foot-stomping hand-clapping repertoire, both original and traditional features wild Eastern-European dance medleys, neo-40s’ New York swing, gypsy “hot club”, schmaltzy waltzes and funky dance grooves. If you can’t dance to this band you gotta problem!
