For nearly a thousand years, klezmer music had been part of the celebration of Jewish life in Eastern Europe and America. Yet klezmer was virtually extinct by the 1970s when some young musicians went looking for their cultural origins in the vast American musical landscape. Tracking two groups of brilliant young musicians, Kapelye and the Klezmer Conservatory Band, and containing rare footage of the elder immigrant musicians they learned from, "A Jumpin’ Night in the Garden of Eden" is the first film to document the klezmer revival as 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants discover and reinterpret their cultural legacy: a very American story.
