I was heavy into Israeli Folk dancing a few years back, got to know some of the Klezmer tunes....now I'm playing Banjo! Interseted in combining the two. Let me here from you.

In a totally different style of klezmer, I also love the banjo on Pincus and the Pig: A Klezmer Tale (narrated by Maurice Sendak). Each character is "played" by an instrument - the cat is played by the banjo. I suspect it is a tenor banjo played with a pick.

Yes - Kol ha-kavod for the marriage of banjo and Klezmer, indeed. Another album that is a lot of fun to listen to is Margot Leverett & The Klezmer Mountain Boys. Old time music played in Klezmer style.
