Album Description

“Metropolitan Klezmer takes a scholarly approach to the genre’s history, yet never skimps on the exuberance at its core.” – TimeOut New York. Mazel Means Good Luck, the acclaimed fifth album by Metropolitan Klezmer's full octet, was recorded live at The Emelin Theatre and includes live bonus tracks: a rare Yiddish ballad of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, performed in centenary commemoration at Cooper Union Great Hall; and an excerpt from Eve Sicular’s musical documentary theater piece J. Edgar Klezmer: Songs from My Grandmother’s FBI Files.
