about
The Red Hot Chachkas blend klezmer with jazz, classical, and improvisation, creating an exciting and danceable sound. Comprised of multi-talented performers on violin, clarinet, mandolin, accordion, bass, and drums, the group plays traditional Eastern European dance tunes, ranging from frenzied to tranquil tantsn, plus original compositions and improvisions building on the klezmer tradition, and fusing with contemporary musical styles. Led since 1997 by Julie Egger, whose violin playing is inspirational, emotional, and contagious, they have performed at concerts, dances, festivals, senior centers, schools, Jewish congregations, art and cultural exhibits, and private parties and simchas in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their CDs are "Spice It Up!" (2007) and "Family Album" (2002).
