Traveling storyteller Joel ben Izzy crosses age and ethnic barriers in this treasure trove of international humor. With accompaniment by clarinetist David Julian Gray, the far-ranging stories, gathered from Israel to Asia and Eastern Europe, include a gem about an unexpected King Solomon decision and a quirky fable about a village full of fools. Ben Izzy is a master at drawing listeners into his smoothly woven, smiling tales of human folly.
