Street Song

Mike Curtis Klezmer Quartet

Mike Curtis - clarinet, tenor sax, tarogato
Dave Leslie - keyboards, accordion
Dan Scollard - electric bass
Dave Storrs - drums

Warm, melodic klezmer with diverse influences.
 

"Deep in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, Mike Curtis has been possessed by the wailing, celebratory, mournful, ironic spirit of klezmer. These crisp arrangements, vigorously performed, are a magical act of cultural transmigration. Curtis and his band play from the emotional core of the music, and the results are radiant, soulful, and never less than swinging."            Mark Levine, writer for The New Yorker
