Don't be confused by the title. Moishe's Bagel may sound like a Jewish comedy group, but this is a highly original five-piece Scottish band whose classy instrumental work is influenced, in part, by klezmer, the traditional eastern European Jewish dance style. Formed in Edinburgh seven years ago, Moishe's Bagel are part of the city's freewheeling cultural scene, in which musicians are constantly moving between different bands and exploring new styles. So pianist Phil Alexander, who spent years playing at Jewish weddings with a klezmer band, also leads a jazz-tango trio and plays with the internationally acclaimed Salsa Celtica, while violinist Greg Lawson plays with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and accordion-player Pete Garnett also works with folk bands. They are joined by a jazz-influenced double-bass player from Brazil and a percussionist who has studied Indian classical styles, and the result is a brave, confident set that mixes global influences with the precision of classical playing and jazz improvisation. There's one Sephardic melody here, the slinky and charming Si Verias, while the band's own compositions echo anything from Balkan to Elizabethan courtly styles, with a dash of Prokofiev thrown in, and the solo work constantly switches between piano, fiddle and accordion. True originals.
