Csókolom play Eastern European folk music with a gypsy flavor, emphasizing arrangements using two or three violins and a double bass. The leader and singer for the group is fiddler Anti von Klewitz, who in addition to playing traditional Hungarian music has studied jazz (under bassist <a href="spotify:artist:3mBoT9nTZ12JQPfrOrwD3p">Reggie Workman</a>) and classical, and has also played in a salsa band and written music for dance and theatrical productions. Csókolom's sound has a more modern and varied feel that many similar such ensembles, due to the jazzy bass and Klewitz's earthy, scratchy vocals. Their 1998 debut album, May I Kiss Your Hand, was recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis. They followed that up in 2001 with the live album Ludo Luda: Fools Fancy, also for Arhoolie Records. Dog Daze was released in 2006. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
