"...Golden State Klezmers - terrific Klezmer Band... the Band is great, wonderful Zinovy Goro, wailing on his eloquent and rousing clarinet."

"The Golden State Klezmers Band is a blast."

"The real plus of this evening is the Klezmer-mad instrumental ensemble... soaring Clarinet / Violin interplay of Zinovy Goro and Ezra Kliger, respectively... infused with virtuosity and energy... terrific Klezmer Band... pure joy."

"...resonance and depth of the brilliantly played Klezmer music that is the most successful element... overwhelming stars of this show are the Golden State Klezmers. They play this folk music - currently enjoying wide popularity - angelically. The Golden State Klezmers are energetic, powerful, and precise in their playing."

"Exceptional... Klezmer at its best... the epitome of Jewish soul music. The Golder State Klezmers are better than great!"

"Klezmer music is to Judaism what gospel is to African-American spirituality of bluegrass is to certain Christian strains... it's the music of unassimilated peoples, hearkening back to the folk traditions of their fathers - the music of cultural resistance... as performed by the Golden State Klezmers, the 15 songs express a surprising breadth of feeling."

"...music arrangements perfectly executed by the Golden State Klezmers... you will delight in these richly plaintive melodies... if you have never heard Klezmer played by a live Band, you are in for a treat... the musical masters... haunting sentiment of Klezmer music."

"...glorious accompaniment of the Golden State Klezmers... utterly marvellous... helped to bring the audience to its feet at the end of the show, and could have easily held the opening night sophisticates captive for a couple more hours."

"The musical accompaniment by the Golden State Klezmers is a joy in this airy musical evening..."

"...A terrific eight-piece Band, the Golden State Klezmers flatters the music throughout... wailing joy of the best Klezmer instrumentals..."

"Arguably "Shlemiels" best performers are the Golden State Klezmers... It's in the wail of the Clarinet, the word-painting comic slide of the Trombone and the infectious rhythm of the percussion that the connections between Yiddish culture and American musical theater are most apparent."

"...fine eight-piece band's performance... extended finale number and encore were the high point of the show. In fact, I'd have enjoyed the show more if they could have distilled the storyline into a 15-minute skit and just let the Band play for two hours... I'll wait for the CD."

"...a first-class Klezmer band, production's joyous music... Ditto for the eight-piece Golden State Klezmers."

"...the intoxicating rhythms and haunting melodies, emanating from eight-piece Klezmer Band... so rich with ethnic color..."
