Thought it would have more Latin influence. Title was what intrigued - all kinds of innovative possibilities. As it was, rather mundane. Rating: 3 / 5 Musicians are great – music was disappointing.

I'm glad they finally released this on CD; it did well on vinyl and it will do well once again. Juan Calle & His Latin Lantzmen were a most talented group of musicians; we get great performances from a group that included some of the best: Willie Rodriguez, Charlie Palmier, Clark Terry, Lou Oles, Doc Cheatham, and Wendell Marshall--and even more! No matter which order you play these songs in on your CD player, the result is bound to be endless hours of wonderful enjoyment. This is fantastic music! <br /> <br />"Beltz, Mein Shtetele Beltz" starts the track set with a fine musical arrangement; this Latin arrangement of a wonderful classic tune works well; the horns are well used and the flute adds a lot to the overall treatment of "Beltz, Mein Shtetele Beltz." The cha-cha version of "Havah Negilah" is absolutely wonderful; it's full of energy without being too heavy and it's also great music for dancing just about anytime you want to dance! "O, Momme! Bin Ich Farliebt" gets a samba treatment that all holds its own very well; I'm very impressed. <br /> <br />"Glick, Du Bist Gekummen Tzu Shapit" also has lots of energy; these pros play this faultlessly; they never let go of a single superfluous note and the singing fits in perfectly with the music. "Papirossen" has a wonderful mambo twist to keep things lively; and listen for a merengue rendition of "Frellach a Nacht." "Vus de Vilst, Dus Vill Ich Oich" is another excellent number that gets the cha-cha treatment; it shines brighter than silver and gold in the hands of these capable artists! <br /> <br />"Baigelach-Bublitchki" is a tune I always liked; and I'm amazed at how well this sounds with that early 1960s Latin pachanga twist. "Yossel, Yossel" is particularly well done; it's one of my favorite songs on this album and just one listen will tell you why! The album ends very nicely with Juan Calle & His Latin Lantzmen performing "Bel Mir Bist du Shein" to that terrific merengue beat! I love it. <br /> <br />Juan Calle & His Latin Lantzmen shine brightly on this album; it's one of my favorite CDs already! I highly recommend this for people who enjoy creative versions of classic Yiddish tunes and other song like "Havah Negilah" which are popular in the Jewish community; and of course fans of these incredible artists will not be disappointed.
