Synopsis
Klezmer music, sometimes called Jewish "soul" music, has a rich and lengthy past, and now, a revitalized future. this festival Jewish band music originated in pre-World War II Poland, but now resonates in a cultural and musical revival all across America. "The Last Klezmer" looks at one of the pioneers of this music, a remarkable, 69-year-old man named Leopold Kozlowski. An actor and musical consultant in Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List" (USA/1993), Kozlowski is the last active Klezmer musician trained in the original, pre-war tradition.
