Cirkestra formed over a decade ago as a circus pit band. The group is releasing a new collection of instrumentals which draw influence from early american jazz and eastern European folk traditions.

The group has six previous releases. Their driving creative force is Peter Bufano (accordion and piano), a composer of circus scores, film scores, and a faculty member at Berklee College of Music in the Film Scoring Department.

Returning on this recording are founding members Kaethe Hostetter (violin) and Sammy Lett (Saxophone). Drummer Grantley Smith has been with the group for five years. New players on this release are Sam Dechenne (trumpet), Dave Harris (Tuba and Trombone), and Claudio Ragazzi (guitar, cuatro, and ukulele).

----

Cocek! consists of Sam Dechenne (trumpet/vocals/composer), Ezra Weller (flugelhorn), Clayton DeWalt (Trombone), Jim Gray (Tuba) and Grant Smith (Tappan Drum).  A 5-piece ensemble from Boston, MA playing all original compositions.  The music is influenced by Eastern-European and New Orleans dance songs, Afrobeat, Klezmer and elements of reggae and Western classical pieces.

CBB sounds are inspired by acts like Fanfare Ciocarlia, Fela Kuti, Miles Davis, Rebirth Brass Band, traditional Balkan songs and chamber brass repertoire.   Dance music for those seeking something new and unique, contemplative Old World melodies that hark to a lost era and catchy riffs that will have you singing along and tapping your foot all night long.

In performance spaces ranging from hollowed out warehouses and arts spaces in Boston to the Kennedy Center in D.C., The Burlington Discover Jazz Festival in Vermont, WorldFest in Louisville, KY and the 11th Annual NY Gypsy Music Festival, Cocek! can be found sprinkling their Phrygian magic dust on audience members all over the world.   They also put on programs for schools and universities traditional Balkan/Klezmer & New Orleans Jazz music, it's wonderfully beautiful history and it's relation to their original compositions.
