But an Eastern European klczmer band? The offbeat pairing of hardened inmates and traditional Jewish folk musicians one of the farthest-reaching cross-cultural events associated with the ongoing Los Angeles Festival took place Saturday afternoon in the parched main yard of the California Institution for Men. More than 200 enthusiastic inmates, serving time for crimes ranging from drug trafficking to assault with a deadly weapon, applauded in rhythm as the eight-member Ellis Island Band performed such Yiddish classics as "Frailich Fun dc Chuppah" and "DorGrcena Kozina." "They got it going on," yelled inmate Gilbert 27, of El Monte, as strains of clarinet, accordion and violin wafted through the smoggy air. "It's different. But it's good to hear different things." Also on the bill was an inmate band, Jazz Workshop, which jammed with the klczmorim on Orovcr Washington "Mr. Magic." The prison band's leader, Sylvester Henry, had initially suggested lhat Ellis Island join in on a tunc called "Whip Appeal" by rhythm and blues artist Baby Face.

However, when violinist Aaron Shifrin, 70, heard the name Baby Face, all he knew from was the old standard, as in "You've Got the Cutest Little The unconventional afternoon was also highlighted by an impromptu bare-chested polka by inmate George Homo to the strains of an Eastern European folk song. "I was stationed In the Army in Germany for three years that's where I learned it," Romo explained. "Will this help me get out of here quicker?" The performance by the Los Angeles-based band, which includes a Century City attorney and two recent Russian emigres, was one of four shows scheduled this week in Southland state prisons as part of an L. A. Festival offshoot titled the "Broken Clock Festival." In upcoming days, the series its name generated from an inmate's poem about the manner in which time stands still for IIUSSC'IINHlDHIt l.

testimonial in Nashville during the last decade. Never before, the accordion player said, has it "entertained before such a captive audience." "This music was brought over to America beginning in the late 1800s with the waves of Jewish immigrants facing persecution," said Fisher, a Century City lawyer who specializes in 1st Amendment legal cases. "The people in Chino are also alienated from society." "If part of the L.A. Festival is to bring the unique from afar to Los Angeles to raise the artistic consciousness, I think klczmer music docs that." Regardless, Shifrin, who was wearing a white tuxedo shirt as he peered toward the cutoff-clad convicts, said he'd think twice before including his prison appearance on his musical curriculum vitac. "How would it look if I were trying to play Vegas?" he smiled.

prisoners will also feature salsa performances at Chino and jazz at the California Rehabilitation Center at Norco. The L.A. Festival has aimed to transport tastes of ethnic cultures to diverse areas of the Los Angeles Basin an American Indian powwow in San Pedro, Thai folk opera in Alhambra, Australian Aboriginal dancers in Los Angeles' downtown financial district. But none of the events has proved more unusual than Saturday's avant-garde-meets-prison-guard affair. "I thought klczmer music would create a very positive mood and would show good musicianship," said Tom Skelly, the prison's artist facilitator, who chose Ellis Island from a list of willing performers.

Bandleader Barry Fisher, VI, said Ellis Island has played in settings ranging from Brentwood bar mitzvahs to a Roy Clark STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Thorn worn 261 players in the Southern California Open last weekend Commerce.

Although the group was trespassing on DPI land, company officials decided not to have them arrested, though a pair of police officers wore on hand. "We are trying to treat this in a civil manner," said Lynn Wesscll, a I3FI representative. The seven remained chained to the trees for about a hour, until I3FI officials left the scene. Jenny Koblin, 17, of Santa Monica said the point of the demonstration was to "make the public aware." "This is an emergency," she said. Seven people chained themselves to oak trees at the mouth of Sunshine Canyon on Saturday afternoon in a symbolic gesture to protest planned expansion of a landfill there.

"This is to show that we will lie hack when they do bring the bulldozers. This is a warning." said Mark Andrews, of North Hollywood, a member of the National Coalition Against Inappropriate Development.
