Afro-Semitic Experience, Paris, France, 18 Jun 2009
SPIRIT OF JAZZ organise la venue en juin, pour la première fois à Paris, des deux fondateurs du collectif Afro-Semitic Experience : le contrebassiste David Chevan et le pianiste Warren Byrd.
Mélange de rythmes afro-américains et de mélodies hébraïques, la musique de David Chevan et Warren Byrd est l’aboutissement d’une histoire culturelle propre aux Etats-Unis. Quand le jazz rejoint la synagogue, cela donne un groupe chatoyant, riche et complexe qui illustre un dialogue et un vécu spécifiquement américains. A leur culture et leur pratique de musiciens de jazz se superpose un projet original, qui sait générer la méditation comme l'enthousiasme tout en évoquant les destins croisés des communautés américaines noire et juive américaines. Dans cette dynamique culturelle du prolongement et de la transmission, Warren Byrd et David Chevan construisent aussi un discours social qui affirme l’actualité d’une écoute entre les communautés, voire d’une synthèse qui aménage un espace commun tout en conservant les particularités de chacun. The Afro-Semitic Experience, créé en 1997, est un superbe et audacieux mélange de tradition juive et de bebop, de gospel et de musique synagogale.

EXTENDED BODY:
BROADWAY AND FOLK LEGEND THEODORE BIKEL CELEBRATES A LIFE OF ART & ACTIVISM WITH AN 85th BIRTHDAY CONCERT AT CARNEGIE HALL
June 15th concert to benefit Juvenile Law Center; tickets go on sale April 16th
New York (April 16th) – Broadway and folk legend Theodore Bikel, a lifelong social justice advocate, will celebrate a rich career devoted to art and activism with a star-studded 85th birthday benefit concert at Carnegie Hall on Monday, June 15, 2009.
The concert will benefit Juvenile Law Center (www.jlc.org), the pioneering, non-profit law firm dedicated to protecting the rights and well-being of children in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Bikel will be joined by Alan Alda, Arlo Guthrie, Rosemary Harris, David Amram, Beyond the Pale, Artie Butler, Patricia Conolly, Judy Kaye, David Krakauer, Tom Paxton, Serendipity 4 (Shura Lipovsky, Merima Kljuco, Tamara Brooks, and Theodore Bikel), Noel Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow, Susan Werner, and Michael Wex. Honorary committee co-chairs for the event include Barbara Cook, Frank Langella, Pete Seeger, John C. Whitehead, and Elie Wiesel.
Bikel made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1956 and went on to forge an extraordinary career as a musician, actor and activist. His stage and screen credits include such classic films as The African Queen and The Defiant Ones and the 1959 Broadway premiere of The Sound of Music, in which he originated the role of Captain Von Trapp. He has performed the role of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof more than 2,000 times and is currently starring in a national tour of Sholom Aleichem: Laughter through Tears.
A leading light in the folk-music scene of the 1960s, Bikel was a co-founder of the Newport Folk Festival and has been a powerful advocate for peace, human rights, and social justice for more than five decades – from the civil rights movements in the United States to apartheid in South Africa to promoting peace and religious pluralism among Israel and its neighbors.
“Throughout my life I have been equally passionate about music and social justice, and have allied myself with others whose use guitars, banjos, fiddles and words to conquer fear and injustice,” said Bikel. “I can think of no better way to celebrate that life than a night of music with some of my nearest and dearest friends, and no more deserving cause than protecting the rights of our nation’s most vulnerable children.”
All proceeds from the concert will go to Juvenile Law Center, which works to protect children’s rights and interests in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Juvenile Law Center, which provides legal services at no cost to its clients, is currently heading litigation in the Luzerne County, Pennsylvania judges scandal, a court corruption case that has made international news as one of the most egregious violations of children's rights in U.S. legal history. The organization’s work on the case was recently covered by 20/20 (http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=7194700), the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/28/us/28judges.html?_r=2), and People magazine.
“Theodore Bikel was at the forefront of the social justice movement that led to the creation of organizations like Juvenile Law Center, and we’re awed and honored that he chose to turn his 85th birthday celebration into an incredible gift for us,” said Robert Schwartz, Executive Director of Juvenile Law Center. “Theo is not only helping to promote the rights of people around the world, but also providing a true inspiration the vulnerable children who seek justice and protection.”
Tickets go on sale April 16th and range from $30 to $500. A pre concert VIP reception for performers to mingle with sponsors, major donors, and box seat ticket holders will be held in the Rohatyn Room at Carnegie Hall.

Washington, DC 20036
June 11, 8:00 pm
Followed by a Closing Night Party
Miri Ben-Ari, a Grammy award-winning violinist from Israel, has created her own unique sound by a revolutionary fusion of classical style with jazz, R&B and hip hop. She has been recognized as a musical pioneer. This classically trained musician has helped sell millions of records by collaborating with other Grammy award-winning artists such as Kanye West, Jay Z, Wyclef Jean, Alicia Keys, Wynton Marsalis, Britney Spears, Maroon 5, Donna Summer, Janet Jackson and John Legend among others.
She studied under the late classical master Isaac Stern and has earned the honor from New York's Apollo Theater as an “Apollo Legend.” She is known as “The Hip Hop Violinist,” the title of her latest album on Universal Records.
Miri Ben-Ari was honored as one of Jewish Women International's "Women To Watch" in 2007. She received the 2008 Israel Film Festival Visionary Award, and she is the first Israeli to receive the Martin Luther King Award from Israeli President, Shimon Peres.
Miri Ben-Ari is the CEO and co-founder of Gedenk ("Remember"), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness among young people about the Holocaust.
“Miri’s playing is wonderful, beautiful, exquisite, unpredictable, original and spontaneous.”
—Wynton Marsalis
“Miri Ben-Ari is to hip-hop now what Miles Davis was to Jazz back in the day! She’s re-inventing a whole new hip-hop sound!”
—Kanye West

Electro Morocco & DJ Balagan, WJMF, Washington, DC, 10 Jun 2009
The Washington Jewish Music Festival - 6/4-6/11
Electro Morocco and DJ Balagan
Station 9
1438 U Street NW
June 10, 8:00 pm
Electro Morocco is a unique mixture of intricate electro beats and Middle Eastern flavor, with a retro rock and pop edge. Thriving from the pulse of music born in the Middle East, their sound rises, swells and cuts to the core with a dense recipe of swirling otherworldly sound, the powerful persistence of electro-rock rhythm and stiletto-sharp guitar lines. Electro Morocco delivers soul-stomping performances all synced to self-produced video clips. Seasoned musicians Assaf Spector, Roy Gurel, Shlomie Lavie, Taylor Galassi and Yula Beeri mix everything from retro rock to Middle Eastern folk music, to warped electro in a fierce, high-energy performance.
DJ Balagan a.k.a. Sam Hopkins, has been producing his own sample-based dance tracks since 2003, incorporating Sephardic elements among various other ethnic styles.
“The off-beat rhythm, the interplay of tweaked, Oriental-sounding guitars, and the frenzied climaxes call to mind bellydancing music and hard rock.”

Feinsmith Quartet
Aaron & Cecile Goldman Theater, Washington DCJCC
1529 16th Street NW
Washington, DC 20036
June 9, 7:30 pm
Composer Daniel David Feinsmith constructs his original classical compositions using the gematria (numerology) of Jewish holy texts, including the Tanakh and ancient Kabbalistic writings, turning the written word into beautiful and astonishing arrangements. The music crosses the boundaries of tradition, evoking the exhilaration of mystical Judaism and interpreting the words of Torah anew. Each member of Feinsmith Quartet—cellist Jennifer Culp, bassist Michael Manring, classical guitarist Gyan Riley and pianist Christopher Taylor—has received critical acclaim for their unique talents.

Pitom
Aaron & Cecile Goldman Theater, Washington DCJCC
1529 16th Street NW
Washington, DC 20036
June 8, 8:00 pm
Pitom is guitarist and composer Yoshie Fruchter's musical experiment and exploration into the music that has inspired him. Taking cues from the punk/avante rock aesthetic of the experimental downtown Jewish scene, including John Zorn and Hassidic New Wave, this manic foursome plays wild and frenetic melodies, supported by a mixture of dreamlike tones and driving distortion. Maryland-native Yoshie Fruchter joins Jeremy Brown on violin, Noah Jarrett on bass and Kevin Zubek on drums to produce the next step in Jewish sound. Pitom’s first CD, released on John Zorn’s Tzadik Records, was noted as one of the best debut albums of the year by The Wall Street Journal.
“Yoshie combines influences from Frank Zappa, Sonic Youth and Masada into a rocking band performing catchy, hooky compositions that both pay tribute to and challenge the Jewish tradition…Pitom is a hard-edged new addition to the legacy of Radical Jewish Culture.”
—John Zorn

Combining rhythmic power and potent folklore, The Sway Machinery’s energy and unique music are unmatched. Jeremiah Lockwood of Balkan Beat Box mixes Cantorial and liturgical traditions with Afro-beats, blues, pop and horns to create a truly original sound. Hebrew, Yiddish and Aramaic lyrics mesh with horns and American blues traditions to create a frenzied, celebratory musical experience. The Sway Machinery boasts a heavy-hitting rotation of musicians including drummers Brian Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Stefan Schneider of Montreal-based and internationally renowned instrumental post-rock band Belle Orchestre, bass player Nick Movshon of Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, and the trumpet and tenor sax horn section of the band Antibalas, Jordan McLean and Stuart Bogie. The powerful combination of musical personalities yields an unassailable force of excitement.

Fredag d. 29. maj kl. 21:00
Café Blågårds Apotek, Blågårds Plads 2, 2200 N
(Entré kr. 20,-)
Lang tid er gået, siden trioen sidst gæstede det legendariske spillested på Blågårds Plads. Men nu skal det være!
Og det betyder, at "Kroteket" igen vil komme til at syde og koge af
klezmer, som vor mor lavede den, når der skulle sættes lidt ekstra fyr under kedlerne.
På basis af Mette Smidl´s virtuositet, kompetence og troværdighed kan Øyvind Ougaard tillade sig at tage chancer og pludselige ryk, mens Diva Channe Nussbaum kun kan betegnes som værende "udenfor kategori". Måske lyder det indviklet. Men det bliver bestemt ikke er kedeligt ... Et lille tip før kampen: Kom i god tid, hvis du vil have en siddeplads.

Yom, New King of Klezmer Clarinet, Paris, France, 9 Apr 2009
YOM, NEW KING OF KLEZMER CLARINET
EN CONCERT AU NEW MORNING
LE 9 AVRIL 2009 A 20H30
+ invités (Wang Li et Farid D.)
BÉNÉFICIEZ D'UN TARIF RÉDUIT: 15 EUROS AU LIEU DE 20 EUROS
Présentation :
Reconnu comme un des grands Virtuoses de la clarinette
Klezmer, Yom rend hommage dans son premier album solo au pionnier
génial et mégalomaniaque du klezmer new-yorkais dans les années 20,
autoproclamé "King of Klezmer Clarinet"; Naftule Brandwein.
Le quartet (Denis Cuniot, piano; Alexandre Giffard, Tapan et Benoît
Giffard, Trombone) se pose comme une des grandes références,
virevoltant entre une écriture débridée et l'improvisation constante
des thèmes, entre virtuosité, spiritualité, émotivité et une vélocité à
toute épreuve; l'essence du klezmer.
Remarqué avec la sortie de son premier album ainsi que par son passage
à Nanterre avec l’ « Empereur » de la clarinette Giora Feidman, on le
verra cette saison au Orientales de St-Florent le Veil, à Jazz Sous les
Pommiers, Sziget Festival, Crest Jazz Vocal, Les Nuits Européennes et
les Nuits du Sud entre autres.
Avide de rencontres et de Création, c’est en compagnie de Wang Li
(Flûtes et Guimbardes chinoises) et de Farid D. (Violoncelle
Electrique) que Yom ouvrira en Duos intimistes les frontières du
Klezmer vers des horizons improbables et remplis d’une magie nouvelle.

Hankus Netsky Presents The Music of Morris Hollender, Waltham, MA, 5 Apr 2009
Hankus Netsky Presents The Music of Morris Hollender
On Sunday, April 5th at 4PM Temple Beth Israel of Waltham will sponsor a concert featuring nigunim, klezmer tunes, cantorials, and Yiddish folk songs from the repertoire of Morris Hollender, the temple’s long-time baal t’file (lay cantor) and baal korey (Torah reader). The concert, organized by local musician, ethnomusicologist, and Temple member Hankus Netsky, will feature prominent local singers and the twenty-piece New England Conservatory Jewish Music Ensemble.
Originally from Carpato-Ruthenia, Morris Hollender’s father, uncle, and brothers were all renowned for their singing and their knowledge of nigunim (melodies) from local and legendary Hassidic rabbis and traditional cantors. A survivor of Auschwitz and a former resident of postwar Czechoslovakia, Mr. Hollender emigrated to America with his wife, Edith (also a survivor) in 1968. The April 5th concert is the result of Hankus Netsky’s ongoing work with the Mr. Hollender through the National Yiddish Book Center’s “Discovery Project,” an activist Jewish cultural recovery project that he directs. “It is extraordinary to have the opportunity to bring this precious Jewish musical legacy back to life, and to be able to pass these treasures on our students and to the general public,” says Netsky.
Temple Beth Israel is located at 25 Harvard St.
in Waltham, one block from Main St. on the 70 bus line. Tickets are $10 (a special $5 rate is available for Beth Israel members). The synagogue is fully handicapped accessible. For more information call 781 894 5146, or contact the temple at www.tbiwaltham.org. Group discounts are also available.

Atzilut concert for peace, Baltimore, MD, 28 Mar 2009
Atzilut: Concert for Peace
This ten-member high-energy Middle Eastern ensemble features Arab and Jewish musicians in concert together to make a powerful statement for peace through shared music. Atzilut exemplifies the potential for creativity that emerges when musicians representing two traditions with common roots, celebrate hope and trust through music. They blend virtuoso cantorial vocals with the lightning percussion and hypnotic melodies of a Middle-Eastern orchestra into their own unique contemporary sound. The resulting musical collaboration is infectious, joyous, deep, sweet and passionate.
Atzilut makes two appearances in the Baltimore area through this unique collaboration between CCBC and Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School.

Rav Shmuel, NYC, 28 Mar 2009
From Rav Shmuel: "I'm playing a set at an interesting venue nicknamed The ROC House this Saturday night. ROC stands for Congregation Ramat Orah but I will not be leading services - they have set up a stage in their rec room and the space has a great vibe. I know because I played there a few months ago and it was really fun! There's a band called Eden playing at about 9:15 or so and I go on at about 10:15 - so come on out and catch some real fun music on a rainy Saturday night in NYC. Because you can."

Inspired by the legendary Barry Sisters of the 1930s and 1940s, this all-female Swing-Klez sextet was voted Canada’s top folk vocal group in 2008. Their airtight three and four part vocal harmonies in Yiddish positively sizzle with seduction.

Thursday 26th March, 7:30pm
Los Desterrados, Oi Va Voi and the Yiddish Twist Orchestra will rock out the JCC's Other Seder. For the third consecutive year, we present our unique take on the Seder, as each band performs a song inspired by the after-dinner songs as the launching point for their set.
Cualos son los uno
Six-piece Los Desterrados, who released their third album, Miradores at the end of 2008, bring their mix of ladino, flamenco, Moorish and Gypsy flavours to the Seder.
"Los Des take the Medieval music of the Sephardic Jews, with its strong Latin influences, and drag it effortlessly into the 21st Century with lashings of Spanish folk and Balkan Soul to deliver a series of rousing, melancholic songs that pulse with rhythm and feeling" (London Metro)
Adir Hu
London's superfly klezmer / punk / gypsy outfit Oi Va Voi give us a sneak preview of their forthcoming third album, Traveling the Face of the Globe.
"Kudos, culture, vision.Oi Va Voi. Remember the name"YTO Merlin

Oi Va Voi : Travelling The Face Of The Globe
En concert
Le Jeudi 5 Mars 2009, 20h00
au Studio De L'ermitage
8 rue de L'Ermitage 75020 Paris
M° Jourdain / M@eacute;nilmontant
www.studio-ermitage.com
Le sextet londonien Oi Va Voi tient son unité de son éclectisme forcené. Ils aiment pêle-mêle la musique caraïbéenne, le trip hop, les vieilles chansons yiddish et les sons yéménites. Le pire, c'est qu'ils arrivent à en faire, avec talent, la synthèse. Pas vraiment donné à
tout le monde...
Après KT Tunstall, Alice McLaughlin, Oi Va Voi invite cette année Bridgette Amofah, nouvelle déesse de la soul, voix guest à la fois puissante et vulnérable, parfaite pour cet univers urbain contemporain. A découvrir absolument !
