Definitely a Carnival

Here we are with more music for another Monday and further in the spirit of a melange of sounds with Frank London and company. Whooping it up in a classic kind of circus, party, carnival, playful way we have one man and his band, plus a whole host of special guests combining forces for one fierce Klezmer party.

"In Your Garden Twenty Fecund Fruit Trees" is the traditional tune to get things going. It features Marjana Sadowska with such a contagious vibrant joie de vivre, hooting, hollering and singing with such spirit one cannot help but wiggle at least five toes on a foot to the wonderment. Throughout the disc, there is an ebb and flow to the party mood. Lest you think it is all fast or all slow, no, a good blend of varied tempos mix up the new and old songs. "Who Knows One?" is another lovely number of a lady with lilting lyrics.

This one man, Mr. London, has a sense of humour in the liner notes, stating: "Esteemed reader, you have purchased the greatest recording of all time, a CD so powerful that it will cure you of all ailments from impotence to flatulence." Cheeky chap! And a great bunch of fun to listen to and read the booklet to boot. Hurry over to our favourite local library to give this disc a good go around your disc player of choice.
