This shiksa has Jewish roots and I surprise many that I make a mean latkes.  So tonight I was making my delectable dish while listening to Radio Hanukah on XM Radio with my 4 yo and got to thinking there was probably a new generation of klezmer musicians out there and did a little digging.

I found this gem of a band called KlezFactor, which according to my untrained ear, combines musical elements of Klezmer, Rock, and Jazz.

 

Here’s another brilliant Klezmer/Jazz mesh from group Bar Kokhba and John Zorn of Masada
