Not mentioning klezmer in the history of jazz was "anti-semitic"? I didn't know klezmer had anything to do with jazz, and I'm from the atate where jazz was born. If there were a track or two with lyrics explicitly attacking Jews, you might be able to say this; but simple exclusion, in and of itself, may indicate mere ignorance rather than hostility. Remember Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

What can you tell us about klezmer's part in jazz history? I'm sincerely interested.
