29. Maxwell St. Klezmer Band: "Compote" from "You Should Be So Lucky"
Shanachie
-Interesting after "Freilech Fantasy" from the KCB's last album.
Both pieces are made up of numerous quotations from very famous classical
pieces. Unfortunately the KCB's piece simply sounds like a bunch of
quotes played one after the other by a Klezmer band. "Compote" on the
other hand, incorporates all the quotes into a whole which makes this a
great piece. A perfect way to end off the show.

regularly and the lengthy delay in processing CD's, any CD cannot be
guaranteed immediate attention on my show. If you wish to be sure
something receives my attention, please send a SECOND copy
