"Grand Hotel Cosmopolis" Geoff Berner GRAND HOTEL COSMOPOLIS GEOFF BERNER This is the kind of klezmer we've been waiting for! A political, punkish, and alternative klezmer work! Inspired by a real hotel in Augsburg, Germany, this work showcases a significant evolution in klezmer music, incorporating the dark melody lines characteristic of klezmer with the energy of punk rock and lyrics expressing social frustration. Geoff's powerful vocals, honed in the punk rock scene, are highly impressive, backed by a powerful accompaniment that incorporates a rock band style with instruments familiar to klezmer, such as the accordion and clarinet played by Geoff himself, as well as the violin. Price: ¥2700
