Armed with his Akai MPC, heritage and love for genre-bending music, Socalled, aka Josh Dolgin, is a Yiddish rapping, accordion wielding hip-hop maestro. Heralded by Klezmer and hip hop musicians alike, he builds Jewish music from the bottom-up. Previous albums Hiphopkhasene (Piranha), Socalled Seder (2005, JDUB), Ghettoblaster (2007, JDUB ) and now Sleepover (2011, Dare to Care) reached into the past to mine an amalgamation of traditional and contemporary influences.

L’ARTICHAUT ORKESTRA : T for Teresa
International album lauching party!! (Tzadik), en partenariat avec TSF JAZZ
Le Jeudi 13 octobre 2011 19h00 (doors à 18h00)
LE STUDIO DE L’ERMITAGE
8 rue de l’ermitage 75020 PARIS
Location : fnac, Digitick
Brillant quatuor toulousain instigué par le clarinettiste Camille Artichaut (disciple talentueux de David Krakauer) et par l'accordéoniste Pierre-Emmanuel Roubet. Tout commence par une compilation de thèmes Yiddish-Klezmer des années 30 qui s'impose comme une source d'un avenir musical à créer. Depuis cet héritage de hasard, les projets pleuvent pour les jeunes artistes : d'écoles de jazz (Music-Halle à Toulouse où ils rencontrent Frédéric Petitprez), en excellence ("Voix Mêlées", premiers contacts avec Sébastien Rideau), de rencontres de maîtres (Camille Artichaut suit David Krakauer à New York où Frédéric Petitprez accompagne Leon Parker), en tournées françaises (celles de Magyd Cherfi chanteur de Zebda) et Music Hall (Camille Artichaut joue sur le spectacle "Cabaret" de Sam Mendes aux Folies Bergères à Paris).
Voici donc quatre musiciens déterminés à faire vivre une création ancrée dans l'esprit de ces mélopées intemporelles. Leur goût pour cette musique ne peut que résider dans la mixité extrême qui à été fatalement imposée à cette culture. Depuis 3 ans l'Artichaut Orkestra a joué dans de multiples festivals (31 notes d'été, Marciac...), clubs (Mandala, Triton, Délirium) et théâtres (Limoges, Toulouse, Paris...).
Camille Artichaut – clarinette
Frédéric Petitprez – Batterie

Concert préfacé par Estelle Goldfarb & special guests : Ezra (beatbox) et Olivier Koundouno (cello)
Estelle Goldfarb fait corps avec son violon. C’est ainsi depuis toute petite. Elle eût pu rester dans le giron du classique, la destinée naturelle
d’une violoniste, ou bien enflammer les mariages, les baptêmes, bref, les fêtes, orientales, juives, tziganes... ou encore jammer avec tout ce qui groove. Mais voilà, Estelle chante. Pas elle, son violon, en fait, ça revient au même... Ses notes ont le poids des mots. Tout l’inspire, ses humeurs, ses
élans, son monde. Et LE monde, surtout. Elle travaille à façon : elle dessine les mélodies, coud les rythmes, brode les arrangements. Des envolées souvent lyriques sur canapé électro, pour tisser pleins et déliés du violon sur tapis synthétique. Histoire de mailler éternité et futurisme. Estelle Goldfarb prend son envol solo, que les cieux lui soient cléments

$15-30 suggested donation,
no one turned away for lack of funds
Advance tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com
The internationally-acclaimed and Bay Area based Red Hot Chachkas infuse the klezmer tradition of Eastern European Yiddish music with jazz, rock, oldtime, classical, and latin influences. Their hot sound and uptempo beat has folks up dancing. Bandleader and classical violinist Julie Egger is joined by seasoned musicians from disparate backgrounds: soulful Barbara Speed (clarinet), balkanized Diana Strong (accordion), bluegrass Tony Phillips (mandolin), jazzy Breck Diebel (bass), and rockin' Michael Arrow (drums).
Cradle Duende presents a combination of klezmer and flamenco, 'klezmenco,' with an infusion of reggae and cumbia dance rhythms. Cradle Duende takes its name from the Spanish word 'duende,' in reference to a musically heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity; and a merging of disparate musical traditions that each evolved from independent cradles of civilization. Cradle Duende brings the strength of deep cultural roots into the party atmosphere.

Vagabond Opera
October 23, 2011, 7pm

7924 N. LIncoln Ave.
Skokie, IL
Bohemian Cabaret ensemble Vagabond Opera is described by the Washington Post as "A band of ceaseless charisma, boundless energy, impeccable musicianship and more than a little touch of both the naughty and exotic."
The group delivers passionate offerings of Bohemian cabaret for young and old. Paris hot jazz, gut bucket swing, tangos, Ukrainian folk-punk ballads, klezmer and vigorous originals meet a world of riverboat gambling queens, Turkish belly dancers, and the enigmatic Marlene Dietrich. Weaving elements of Kurt Weil, Duke Ellington and Edith Piaf with absurdist flair, theatrics and an old world mood, Vagabond Opera presents the new wave of opera–lusty voices singing in 13 languages and presenting a cabaret of rich musical phrasing, sparkling lyrics and indomitable stage presence, all played with exuberance, skill and a gritty Vagabond edge. This is Opera liberated and reinvented for everyone!
