Me And Pete Sokolow – KlezKamp 2008

Irving — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:14:16 +0000

At my first KlezKamp in 2008, I made a video diary. This film is about my experiences with Pete Sokolow at my first KlezKamp, 2008.

This is also the first film I ever made. I put together the other KlezKamp films after I made this one.

Yiddish Singers vs. Jazz Heads

Irving — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 23:09:03 +0000

This is a random moment from the last night of KlezKamp 2008. Two groups were competing in the lobby of the hotel, one was a jazz instrumental group, and the other was a group of Yiddish singers.

I don’t want to give too much away, but this was more of a battle than I might have imagined.

There is some silliness in this film.

Hasidic Dance Band Set 3

Irving — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 23:03:54 +0000

This is the Hasidic Dance Band, led by Ken Maltz, with Pete Sokolow singing at KlezKamp 2008 on the final night. This is the third set, 25 December, 2008. Shot from the stage by a fiddlist (me) in the first row of musicians. Footage is mostly of interesting views of the dancing, and Ken Maltz’s and Pete Sokolow’s legs.

Irving the rubber chicken was a featured soloist.

This is the Hasidic Dance Band, led by Ken Maltz, with Pete Sokolow singing at KlezKamp 2008 on the final night.

This is the first set of three, 25 December, 2008. Shot from the stage by a fiddlist (me) in the first row of musicians. Footage is mostly of interesting views of the dancing, and Ken Maltz’s and Pete Sokolow’s legs.

Plus one specially amuseworthy moment which I could watch all day.

Hasidic Dance Band Set 2

Irving — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 22:59:44 +0000

This is the Hasidic Dance Band, led by Ken Maltz, with Pete Sokolow singing at KlezKamp 2008 on the final night. This is the second set on 25 December, 2008. Shot from the stage by a fiddlist (me) in the first row of musicians. Footage is mostly of interesting views of the dancing, and Ken Maltz’s and Pete Sokolow’s legs.

The dancing in this film is incredibly silly. So I went just a teensy bit overboard with the titles commentary.
