1929, Mazel in Liebe, Alexander Olshanetsky Orch, Klezmer Fox Trot, HD 78rpm

(Note: be sure to click on the watch in "HD" option for better sound and picture.) In the 1920s, the melding of African American rhythms and vintage Klezmer produced a popular dance idiom that would spawn countless music styles for decades to come. By the end of the 20s, foxtrot music had evolved as a typically American sound, but could have a myriad of coloration and identity. The Alexander Olshanetsky Orchestra in New York was a Yiddish Theatre group who rarely ventured beyond its comfort zone of Jewish patronage. "Mazel in Liebe" (Lucky in Love), an extremely rare Vocalion issue, attempts to cross over into a more popular area of dance music -- and yet, makes no compromise to water-down a heavy Klezmer influence. Recorded in December of 1929, this would be Olshanetsky's last disk; a powerful and dramatic ethnic sound that has never been equaled.
