About

Frank London has been recording jazz and modern Jewish music since the '80s, and is a diverse enough artist to count LL Cool J, Mel Torme, They Might Be Giants, and John Zorn among the musicians with whom he's worked. That kind of expansive musical vista adds depth to London's work, which takes traditional Jewish music and puts the melody in a sometime modern, sometimes traditional jazz setting. Oy vey, it swings!
