The Original Klezmer Jazz Band (House of Menorah). A 1984 klezmer/dixieland fusion offering. Only fair-to-middling, despite the presence of some big klezmer names like Henry Sapoznik and Pete Sokolow.

Later: Why would anyone imitate one of those horrible 1920s Ted Lewis vocals? Ouch.

The Klezmorim - Notes From Underground (Flying Fish). After spinning the disappointing new find above, I wanted to hear this album - similar in intent, but much better. It was recorded the same year as the Original Klezmer Jazz Band disc, and even has some of the same tunes, but it's a mix of serious and good-natured, while the OKJB is often just silly and forgettable.
