MORE ABOUT ZHOK THERAPY
Zhok Therapy is the unruly alter-ego of Maine's well-known klezmer
band, the Casco Bay Tummlers. Zhok Therapy still has one toe in the
klezmer tradition, but has expanded their repertoire to include
Greek, Balkan, and Middle Eastern music. Adding further influences
from jazz and blues, their deep grooves and improvisations are both
innovative and well rooted in a rich and varied ethnicity. 'Zhok
Therapy will remedy whatever ails with their cross
pollinations.'
Carl Dimow, flutes and guitars,
Mark Tipton, trumpet,
Steve Gruverman, clarinets and
saxophone, Julie Goell, bass and vocals, Hayes Porterfield, percussion.
(A zhok, by the way, is a type of Jewish and Middle Eastern rhythm.)
