Title:	Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass: Plays John Zorn
Label:	TZADIK
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 7349

A tribute to Bruno Schulz. "The Cracow Klezmer Band is one of the most passionate, virtuosic and creative bands in the New Jewish Renaissance and with each new release they just keep getting better and better. For their fourth CD on Tzadik they collaborate with John Zorn to paint a surreal vision of the work of Polish writer Bruno Schulz, whose art and stories continue to fascinate and perplex the world. Zorn's evocative compositions and Jarek Bester's sparkling arrangements blend perfectly, capturing the lyrical fantasy of Schulz's expressive symbolism. Featuring beautiful vocalist Grazyna Auguscik on two tracks, Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass is a CD of driving rhythms, soaring lyricism, textures, moods and fantastic colors that you will return to again and again."

"The last release by this spectacular ensemble. Formed in 1997, The Cracow Klezmer Band has been a phenomena. Through their spectacular combination of impeccable musicianship, imaginative arrangements and passionate performances they have developed into one of the most successful groups in Radical Jewish Culture. This exciting live CD marks their dissolution after ten years and captures them performing an exciting program of colorful new music and a few of their compositional classics in their home of Warsaw, Poland."
