The CKB (The Cracow Klezmer Band) are one of the most creative and innovative music groups in Poland - keep on searching for new forms of expression for their musical fascinations.
The group was formed in 1997 as an initiative of Jaroslaw Bester - a young accordion player and composer - and it was soon hailed as one of the most interesting phenomena of the global avangarde scene. Thanks to the original and exploratory character of their music - a result of comprehensive musicianship - the CKB's recordings and concerts have been notable for unusual energy, refinement, beauty of sound and performing perfection. Thanks to these qualities, the CKB's appearances get rave reviews and win increasing appreciation worldwide.
The CKB are the only Polish group recording for John Zorn's Tzadik label that has released their four CDs, i.e. De Profundis (TZ 7143), The Warriors (TZ 7157), Bereshit (TZ 7183) and the most recent Sanatorium under the Sign of the Hourglass (TZ 7349).
