The New Orleans Klezmer All Stars

The New Orleans Klezmer All Stars, led by accordionist Glenn Hartman, saxophonist Ben Ellman (from Galactic), and guitarist Jonathan Freilich, is an all-star collective of some of New Orleans’ best musicians. Founded in 1991, the Klezmers build on the centuries-old klezmer folk tradition, adding creativity, ingenuity, and a no-holds-barred New Orleans aesthetic to keep the music fresh and exciting. Original tunes, driving rhythms, and passionate energy have cemented the Klezmers’ place as festival and dance party favorites. “Struttin’ with Some Doner Kabob,” “Mr. 9 O’clock,” and “Klezmer Defiance” are just a few favorite tunes.
