Radical Roots Rhythm + Jews is the title of a recent LP by the Klezmatics, who provide East Village updates of Eastern European jazz and wedding music. Drummer David Licht (of the late, great Bongwater) propels the traditional instrumentation -- horns, accordions, violins -- with witty, ticky beats. Listen up at 8 p.m. at Great American Music Hall, 859 O'Farrell, S.F. Tickets are $10-12; call 885-0750.
