Instrumental melodic lines which become fixed in the mind, which take their time before moving part of themselves somewhere new.
A charming utopia: appointing fragments of klezmer melodies in phonemes in a unifying and redeeming gramelot, a link of humanity between Europe and the Mediterranean.

A band which draws its vital breath from the constant inspiration of Fabio Basile and which brings together some respected names from the new wave of Italian jazz, from Gianni Gebbia to Zeno de Rossi, from Giorgio Pacorig to Enrico Terragnoli.

Shachor is Full Metal Klezmer's second work and enjoys the participation of, among others, the great clarinet player Chris Speed, one of the big names of New York's new music, and Danijel Zezelj, author of the graphics.
