“When I listen to a new Klezmer Conservatory Band album, “Dance me to the end of love,” I have the same feeling of well-being that I feel when the Epstein Brothers used to take the stage: this is a band that is so good, and has been doing this so long, that the notes don’t just provide pleasure, they reinforce the secure feeling that listening to KCB is everything it’s always been, but better and immediate and new again. And this album does strengthen that feeling of security. Like “Dancing in the Aisles” of a couple of years ago, this album is just so good, so mature, and yet, still so listenable, so promoting of dancing around the room, that I need to try to hold myself back, to prevent pure pleasure from turning to fulsome falseness. I’ll try to do that, but right now, the very romantic “Dance me to the end of the love” is playing, and, if not strictly (or loosely) klezmer, the title song is perfect for taking a spin around the world with someone special. I’ll be back shortly. Just remember this: Just because a band is very good at what it does, doesn’t mean it has to shake you up each album. Sometimes, what is wonderful, is how well it reminds you that klezmer, like life, is for dancing. [GRADE: A+]”
