STORIES FROM FAR AWAY

Joel ben Izzy shares stories he found--and stories that found him--as he travelled around the world, adding special touches to the folktales to make them his own. The tape was recorded before a live audience and carefully edited. Ben Izzy has a quiet, friendly, conversational storytelling style, which focuses the attention of the listener on the story, rather than on the performance. Musical interludes between stories include traditional Klezmer music, Irish jig and Rumanian hora. This high-quality audio package of wisdom and foolishness will appeal to children and adults who enjoy folk stories and traditional music from around the world.
