A Jumpin' Night in the Garden of Eden
1h 15m
Directed by Michal Goldman • Documentary • 1987 • 75 minutes
The first film to document the revival of klezmer music, now a worldwide movement, Jumpin’ Night tracks two foundational groups of brilliant young musicians, Kapelye and the Klezmer Conservatory Band, and includes rare footage of the elder immigrant musicians they learned from. In reinventing this music, second and third generation immigrants reconnect to their cultural legacy: a very American story.
