David (trumpet & vocals) & Roula (vocals, qanun and persuccion), partners in music and life, bring together worlds as they play Roma, Arabic and Jewish music along with David's original world jazz compositions. David is known as the leader of the Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band, the Odessa/Havana project, and his eponymous jazz ensemble. Between them, these projects have been nominated for 5 JUNOs, won one, and won a Canadian Folk Music Award. Roula has for many years been known as one of the city's most soulful Middle Eastern dancers, and has more recently stepped out as a lead vocalist, with Nomadica, her own Arabic project, and (this week) as a guest soloist at Soundstream's Koerner Hall concert. For this Musideum gig, David & Roula are accompanied by three up-and-comers, Demetri Petsalakis, oud & guitar, R.J. Satchithnanthan bass & trombone and Jaash Singh, percussion.

Description:

9Volt, the avantgarde, jazz-based New York City trio who recently released Open Circuit, perform a record release show on Feb. 19 at Konceptions at Korzo. The outfit features a collection of New York's brightest
underground jazz players including trombonist Rick Parker, guitarist EyalMaoz and drummer Yonadav Halevy. All About Jazz said Parker is a "powerful young jazz musician to be reckoned with," adding "Parker and his band are the best-kept secret in New York right now." John Zorn described Maoz as "a cutting edge guitarist who combines the harmonic lyricism of Bill Frisell with the angst and skronk of Marc
Ribot... keep your eyes and ears on this guy." Halevy toured with Arnie Lawrence's band for six years and has been a widely coveted session player performing with Sheila Jordan, Joel Frahm and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Tim Berne guests on the album and will perform with 9Volt on Feb. 19.
Open Circuit, the trio's debut album, was recently released via OutNow Recordings. NYC Jazz Record described the album as "a synthesis of many things that define powerful 'new' music - electronics and other sound elements, very free improvisation and the passion of the world of rock." Open Circuit is now streaming via OutNow Recordings' BandCamp .

Tailoring an Operetta to Its Audience: Rumshinsky's Di goldene kale (1923) at the Center for Jewish History, February 22nd at 10:30 A.M.

Joseph Rumshinsky's 1923 musical comedy, Di goldene kale (The Golden Bride) was a work carefully designed to both move and entertain its specialized American audience: Yiddish-speaking immigrants from Eastern Europe and their families. With pathos (the basic ingredient), love, "Jewish-style" music, a ritual kiddush, acts set in a shtetl and in America, a shadchen, a lullaby that slips into Russian, assimilated Jews speaking broken Yiddish, a paean to America, as well as other compelling features, it offered its attendees
a meaningful evening based on their past and present experiences.

Dr. Michael Ochs and noted scholar on Jewish music, Professor Mark Slobin, will present the talk, "Tailoring an Operetta to Its Audience: Rumshinsky's Di goldene kale (1923)" at the Center for Jewish History (15 West 16th Street) on Friday, February 22, 2013 at 10:30 A.M., in what promises to be an engaging
discussion of the issues surrounding the re-construction and arrangement of a Yiddish theater work. The Jewish Music Forum, a project of the American Society for Jewish Music, sponsors the talk.

Dr. Michael Ochs is retired Richard F. French Librarian and Senior Lecturer on Music at Harvard University, as well as the past music editor at W. W. Norton publishers. He is currently preparing a critical edition of the operetta's score based on manuscript material from the original production. Dr. Mark Slobin is Winslow-Kaplan Professor of Music at Wesleyan University and author of Fiddler on the Move: Exploring the Klezmer World, Chosen Voices: The Story of the American Cantorate, and Tenement Songs: The Popular Music of the Jewish Immigrants.

Admission is free.
