The Cracow Klezmer Band - Sanatorium Under The Sign Of The Hourglass (2005)

The Cracow Klezmer Band is one of the most passionate, virtuosic and creative bands in the new Jewish Renaissance and with each new release they are getting better and better. For their fourth CD on Tzadik, they work with John Zorn to paint a surreal vision of Polish writer Bruno Schulz, whose art and stories can continue to fascinate and delude the world. Zorn's evocative compositions and Jarek Best sparkling arrangements fit perfectly and capture the lyrical imagination of Schulz's expressive symbolism. Featuring beautiful vocalist Grazyna Auguscik on two tracks, Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass is a CD of driving rhythms, soaring lyrics, textures, moods and fantastic colors you'll return to again and again.
