Testimonials:

“KLEZMANIA! is a by far the best Klezmer/Israeli/jazz band in the Bay Area.  Not only are the band members professional and easy to work with, they are SUPERB performers!  I have hired them for large dance parties and for more intimate functions and have never been disappointed.  Ben Brussell, the manager, has been at this for years and is an great resource for planning your event, gauging the type of music desired and maintaining a level of professionalism not often seen with vendors who book their own gigs.  They have always arrived on time with all equipment set to go.
