The Pale was the name for a limited geographical area of Tsarist Russia within which Jews were allowed to live. So
is the perfect name for a band that plays
music (the jazzy
music of Eastern European Jewry) but refuses to be bound by
stylistic limitations. And a live recording is the perfect way to experience
's joyful, sophisticated, and frequently humorous music. Led by mandolinist
, the group takes you on a tour of
music past and
music future. There are songs both touching (a Yinglish song of unrequited love titled
) and hilarious (the slightly risque
song
here reworked into a galloping
groove and retitled
), as well as original instrumentals of both scintillating energy (
) and quiet, bittersweet beauty (
). Not a single track is weak, obvious, underplayed, or overplayed --
is probably the best
album of 2004. ~ Rick Anderson
