Klezmer
Jenncoh did explain it very well, I agree, Leah, and I hope nobody thinks I was disputing that. I was looking for more info besides what it is, which google provided.
At any rate, I saw a special where Itzak Perlman played with some klezmer musicians (klezmorim???) and that was so good – everyone looked as though they were having a marvelous time, including Perlman.
Of course, any time I’ve seen him, he ALWAYS looks as though he’s have a wonderful time.
