New album "Out Of Sight". Release Date: Oct. 1st 2009.
Eminently charming and playful appear Kroke's new compositions, recorded with the original Trio setup. Back to the roots? Certainly, in a way. The waiver of the drums means a reinforcement of viola, accordion and bass. Coming to the fore (again), equally entitled and responsible for both melody and rhythm.
OUT OF SIGHT points out familiar and surprisingly new facets of Kroke's musical universe, from Kukurba's oriental-influenced vocal improvisations ("Mecalakuku") to the frisky "Life As It Is" and the frivolous allure of "A Luftmentsch". Kroke's creative power, joining their tradions and their very own view on "Life as it is", is still going strong - and exploring.
[ Kroke & Sinfonietta Cracovia ]
Esta música es demasiado 'oscura' para representar a la tradicional música klesmer. A veces es como si Velvet Underground hubiera renacido como un grupo klezmer.
Ari Davidov
Lo que me atrae efectivamente en la música de Kroke es su realidad espiritual... es decir la sinceridad y autenticidad en esta música.
Nigel Kennedy
