Rhythm and Jews is an album by American klezmer group The Klezmatics.[1] It was released in 1993 via Flying Fish.
The album includes many traditional melodies of the hassidic repertoire and of the repertoire of 1920s first generation American klezmer pioneer Naftule Brandwein.[2]
The Washington Post wrote that the album contains "traditional klezmer tunes with very American syncopation, blue notes and rhythmic punch."[2]
