Die Sammlung bietet eine einzigartige Mischung aus modernen und traditionellen Klezmer-Arrangements von Vahid Matejko, begleitet von Live eingespielten Play-alongs in CD-Qualität. Klarinettist Claudio Puntin verleiht den Stücken besonderen Charme. Jedes der 15 Arrangements ist in zwei Versionen verfügbar: als Halb-Playback zum Mitspielen und als Voll-Playback zum Hören. Diese innovative Herangehensweise ermöglicht es Musikern, aktiv teilzunehmen und gleichzeitig die Klänge der Klezmer-Musik in einem modernen Kontext zu genießen.

Die Auswahl an Filmmusik in dieser Ausgabe zeigt, wie Komponisten es schaffen, eigenständige Hits zu kreieren, die unabhängig von den Filmen erfolgreich sind. Vahid Matejko und Alfred Music Publishing präsentieren Play-alongs, die Nachwuchsmusikern die Möglichkeit bieten, mit echten Musikern zu spielen, anstatt mit programmierten Sounds. Die meisten Tracks wurden live von einer Jazz- und Rock-Combo eingespielt, während einige von einem Orchester stammen. Hochkarätige deutsche Musiker bereichern die beiliegende CD und machen sie zu einem besonderen Erlebnis für Spieler und Zuhörer.
