They love the beauty of these melodies, the possibilities of expression, and the stunning sounds of the clarinet drawn from this musical tradition. But they also love that others share their fervor. They love that people who do not belong to the Jewish community of Central Europe are sensitive, happy to listen to this music. Moreover, is it certain that they are Jewish themselves? They discover, rediscover this musical culture. With passion, with humor, with many transgressions as well, dedicating part of their musical activities to working on and making the music of the Klezmorim and their lineages heard. For a long time... quietly. Nano Peylet and Denis Cuniot dream that Klezmer music becomes a source of inspiration, invention, and improvisation for many musicians around the world... true "standards" in a way... like jazz. Because, like jazz, Klezmer music is the product of a fusion of several cultures..." Peylet-Cuniot
