“Mickey Katz plays music for Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and Brisses” Capitol Records. Yiddish, klezmer and comedy!

For the straight klezmer side of Mickey Katz, check out the CD “Don Byran’s Plays the Music of Mickey Katz” (Elektra Nonesuch, 1993).

“The Horn Meets the Hornet” – what a concept!   I imagine the Green Hornet going backstage after an Al Hirt concert on Bourbon Street in New Orleans to meet when this candid photo was snapped.
