Maxwell Street Klezmer Band is one of the oldest bands in the klezmer revival. Founded in 1983, the show combines dancing, theater songs and jazzy Yiddish pop music from the 1930s-1950s. Maxwell Street features klezmer dance master Steve Weintraub, who will teach dancing and perform his original choreography during the show.
The band has delighted audiences from Carnegie Hall to Europe with their high-energy performances and original arrangements. Maxwell Street has released four CDs and recorded soundtracks for ABC and Public Television. The band's most recent CD was named Best Jewish/Hebrew/Klezmer Album in the 2004 Music Awards of the California indy music organization, Just Plain Folks.
