Review

Boston sextet Naftule's Dream are thrilling in their delivery of klezmer's trademark brassy-woodsy mix. Glenn Dickson's clarinets zip around the lumbering tuba of James Grey and the more fleet trombone of David Harris. Like Klezmorim, Naftule's Dream can play extremely complex music with a magnetic joy, never losing sight of the improvisational skills necessary to play creative, forward-looking traditional music. They turn the classic "Oy Tate (Oh Father)" into a roiling funky storm, thanks in part to Pete Fitzpatrick's gritty guitar. Naftule's Dream is sometimes unrepentantly unorthodox, playing klezmer's quick rhythmic shuffles with the muscular energy of New Orleans brass band romps. Just as often, however, the group pays homage to klezmer's traditions with top-notch musicianship and jazz-tinged improvisation, much like the music's early pioneers. --Andrew Bartlett
