Artist description Weaving fiery improvisation into complex arrangements, Naftule's Dream has created an instrumental music of passion and intensity. Consistently innovative yet always heartfelt, their music combines jazz and Klezmer and their second collection, creatively mixed by Bill Laswell, throws rock and free improvisation into the mix. "This is without a doubt the most startlingly original, audacious music I've heard since the previous Naftule's Dream CD, last years 'Search for the Golden Dreydl'. What else can you say about a band that combines klezmer music and free jazz with feedback guitar into an organic, fully realized whole? It's a remarkable balancing act of discipline and unabashed noise, techincal brilliance and a completely contrary punk/no-wave aesthetic." - Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times, May 1999.
