Ashkelon by Emil Zrihan
Save 23% of list price. 1999. Emil Zrihan is a master of judeo-andalusian and Moroccan Jewish music. Andalusian "al Tarib" music dates to the Ninth Century Cordoban Court of Emir Abdu Rahman lbn al Hakam. It is Hispanic-Maghreban in style. Born in Rabat in 1954, he came to Israel in 1963 at the age of 9. After his arrival in Israel, he studied the Piutim with Rabbi Shlomo Ouanounou and for three years he appeared in the "Folklore of the Orient" television program. In his youth, Mr. Zrihan was dubbed the "Israeli Joselito" in reference to great Spanish singer. With his unique vibrato voice, Mr. Zrihan has established a reputation of a great Cantor among the large public who frequents the Synagogues during the High Holidays. His many appearances both in Israel and in the world attract large attendance. Mr. Zrihan performs the wide music range of the North African Jews including the Andalusian Music both in Hebrew and in Arabic. He is nicknamed "the voice of the mocking bird". The impressive vocal range and power of Zrihan's counter tenor express both the emotional intensity of North African religious song and the vivacity of Andalusian music. The guest of honour on this album, Baldi Olier adds the sensitivity tempered with pride of his guitar playing style, which stems from the purest of flamenco tradition. This extraordinary album is elegant, light, playful and invites the listeners to move and shake, to click their fingers, to clap their hands and inevitably, to dance.

Kol Nidre Variations Ben Zebelman, Maureen McDermott, Elizabeth Chang
List Price: $12, before discount. Jason Verlinde writes of this variation on the Kol Nidre prayer (which was perfored at Manhattan venerable Eldridge Street Synagogue in September 1999 to a SRO crowd), "...with its soft focus and mesmerizing piano line, the first movement "The Vow" is a cross between contemporary instrumental music and classical. At five and a half minutes, "Dance of the Spirits" is the shortest but perhaps most interesting movement on the disc. Filled with soulful passages courtesy of the string section, its quick pace is riveting. "Redemption," the work's final movement, is surprising, filled with peppy movements where cellist Maureen McDermott is able to show her skills. Does it work? Yes. The simple, centuries-old chant--transformed here into chamber music in four pieces--ends up sounding fresh and (thankfully) still powerful as an instrumental work. In all, it's 39 minutes of moving, serene, and soulful music." Click here to BUY this CD or to read more about it

The Alter Rebbe's Nigun Ambarchi & Avenaim.
List Price: $17 before discount. Oren Ambarchi and Robbie Avenaim were Hasidic students of Talmud and Tanya. They then formed an Australian punk band named PHLEGM. This combines influences from Boredoms and the Japanese noise scene, traditional Jewish Nigunim and Yiddish theatre, Marc Ribot, Ornette Coleman and countless others to create a new world of twisted dreams and startling sonorities. A must for all lovers of weirdness. I think the Tanya has influenced the four track titles. Rabbi Leider appears on track 4. Click here to BUY this CD or to read more about it
Great Jewish Music: Burt Bacharach - a tribute.
List Price: $23 before discount. Give a listen before you buy, cuz this is not an ordinary rendition of his tunes. Burt Bacharach's compositions explode the expectations of what a popular song is supposed to be. Advanced harmonies and chord changes with unexpected turnarounds and modulations, unusual changing time signatures and rhythmic twists, often in uneven numbers of bars. But he makes it all sound so natural you can't get it out of your head or stop whistling it. Maddeningly complex, sometimes deceptively simple, these are more than just great pop songs: these are deep explorations of the materials of music. Modern jazz greats (Wayne Horvitz, Bill Frisell, Joey Baron, Dave Douglas, Medeski Martin & Wood), rock luminaries (Robert Quine, Lloyd Cole, Mike Patton, Marc Ribot, Kramer, Yuka Honda, Robin Holcomb) and experimental stars (Fred Frith, Zeena Parkins, Elliott Sharp, Shelley Hirsch) shed new light on a highly original and inspiring composer/arranger who brought the lessons he learned from bebop and Darius Milhaud to the world of pop music.

Featuring plenty of his searing guitar work, cynical, impassioned vocals and several exciting cover tunes, including the cuban classic "Jamon co Yucca", the seed that led to his popular group, Los Cubanos Postisos, Human Sacrifice brings the visceral edge of one of the world's most exciting and original guitarists to your own living room! Included as a bonus track is a studio version of "Mon Petit Punk" - a twisted pop classic. Click here to BUY this CD or to read more about it

Smash/Clap Naftule's Dream.
List Price: $17 before discount. Richard Gehr writes, "You could say that Naftule's Dream play Jewish music that's reformed and then some (most of the Dream also perform as the more orthodox Shirim Klezmer Orchestra). Named in homage to legendary klezmer clarinetist Naftule Brandwein, this Boston-area sextet veers between densely composed and then freely jammed-out klezmer revival music of deep emotional resonance. It's a loopy circus one minute, a funeral procession another, and everything in between the rest of the time. Tunes like "Free Klez" and "Speed Klez" are self-explanatory, while "The Wanderer" and "Yid in Seattle" evoke the group's footloose compositional sensibility.

List Price: $17 before discount. Boston sextet Naftule's Dream are thrilling in their delivery of klezmer's trademark brassy-woodsy mix.
