Love it!!! Klezmer is all over the world. It was especiallly dominant in its influence of European music after the First World war and more so in Germany. There are many hits from the Weimar period where Klezmer had a direct influence. When the Jewish composers started to leave or be arrested there was a feeling in the country that Germany would lose its music. People certainly did not go to the theatre or shows like they did. German also lost their sense of humour! That was Klezmer!

as far as i know his last records, as a band leader, Olshanetsky did in 1944 for the Seva label (with Isa Kremer). when he died he was only 54...

some additional words
this is a main theme of Alexander Olshanetsky's operetta "mazl in liebe". he, first of all, was the jewish theatre composer. most of non-jewish listeners knows his song "i love you much too much" performed or by Andrews Sisters, or by Carlos Santana
in the late 1920s Olshanetsky (together with Louis Katzman) was the leader of the Brunswick studio orchestra. (BTW. maybe you know there to find Katzman's bio?)

I think it's a Yiddish Theater tune, not a Klezmer tune, actually. Not unusual. He did the same for Eyn Kik Oyf Dir, a tango-like tune he wrote for a show.

Yiddish Theater or Klezmer? What difference does it make when it is such great music that is such fun listening?

Klezmer seems to not be respected...
I don't hear it cited much as a legitimate music form...
I think it had profound influence on American music...Jazz...and all that...
What do you think?

I agree with you -- but I really don't have an answer. I like the Olshanetsky because it shows the nexus of dance music with the "Jewish sound" which permeated all popular styles of the day.

Prozoot, I love the Klezmer influence in this gorgeous song. You sure get the greatest sound. I think I have found a treasure trove on your channel. Thank you so much for sharing.
