Jewish Celebration Music

The Klezmer Fusion Band plays authentic Jewish wedding music (both before and after the chupah), fraylachs and horas, a rousing Israeli circle or line dance, Yiddish swing, waltz or lullaby. If you can't sing it or dance to it, we don't play it. No far-out, existential, new-wave Klez here.

Don't know the dances or too embarrassed to try to learn? Neil Alexander (and his assistants) lead and teach Israeli circle and line dances, many of them basic and easy to follow.

For a more varied celebration, consider adding jazz, rock and roll, or a DJ.

Imagine going from a Russian Sher to "Mustang Sally" to "Mayim" to "Our love is here to stay", all in the same set! Since many of the members of the "Klezmer Fusion Band" are also members of "Espresso" (Espresso is a popular local jazz and rock group led by bassist David Stearns), secular music (e.g. jazz standards. classic rock, and Motown) can be integrated into private party performances. This is their livelihood.. and these players have been around Jewish music for years.

Many people still want a DJ and a party leader, particularly for bar mitzvahs. KFB Plus has a full DJ set-up, with many of the latest (and classical) dance and pop recordings. Kids can get their line dances and games, often led by a youth dance leader. Picture a limbo starting out with classical carribbean music and ending up in a mizrachi beat to Sarit Hadad (or other current Israeli pop or rap stars).
