Songs of Imagined Migrations: The Guy Mendilow Band's Ladino Project
May 8th, 2011, 8:00pm
Club Passim
47 Palmer St.
Harvard Square
Cambridge, MA
The Guy Mendilow Band performs centuries-old music from Jewish communities from places such as Smyrna, Salonica, Jerusalem and Sarajevo, sung in the Judeo-Spanish Ladino. Stories of sailors seduced by sirens at sea, murder, intrigue, fantastic dreams and the treachery of kings and queens abound in these colourful canticas. Led by Israeli performer Guy Mendilow, the group makes this ancient music relevant to modern audiences by recasting it through the multicultural lens drawn from the places Mendilow and his musicians have called home, from Israel and Brazil to the United States. The result is a dynamic blend of Sephardi tempered with Brazilian street beats and blues in vibrant musical storytelling awash with warm vocal harmonies, intricate textures and spellbinding rhythms.
"This isn't for quirky ears, it's for jaded ears that need to be shaken awake with something substantially different that keeps the interest on the beam throughout. Delightfully different, even when it seems like it might be familiar." —Midwest Record

Blurring boundaries and connecting sounds, syncopations, rhythms and roots is central to the mission inspiring the Guy Mendilow Band. Israeli peace songs and Sephardi canticas meet Bahian street beats and blues. Drawing from a life lived in Israel, South Africa and Brazil, where musical collaboration cuts through ancient conflict, Israeli born musician Guy Mendilow is sowing the seeds of peace with music.
It's no surprise, then, that the Guy Mendilow Band includes world class musicians from Israel, Argentina, Japan and the United States. Or to find the group now partnering with international peacemaking organizations, such as Seeds of Peace, whose work with Palestinian and Israeli youth and adult educators helps forge the personal relationships so critical to communication and reconciliation.

With Greg Wall-clarinet, Jordan Hirsch – cornet, Zevy Zions- accordion, Brian Glassman-bass, and Aaron Alexander- drums, as klezmer giant Pete Sokolow says in the liner notes to their most recent recording: “Make no mistake, dear listeners – this is the emese zakh (real thing)…… It is totally honest and completely true to the ideals of the music.

Sixth Street Synagogue: 325 East Sixth Street (b/n 1st and 2nd Ave)
The Maeandros Ensemble, led by oud player and vocalist Mavrothi Kontanis, combines lively traditional and innovative sounds from Greece and the Near East in high energy, emotional performances. Featuring a talented line-up of musicians, including Lefteris Bournias on clarinet, Megan Gould on violin, and Timothy Quigley on percussion, each concert highlights the group’s deep love and respect for the folk and urban songs of the early 20th Century Aegean, while simultaneously pushing the musical limits of that tradition with virtuosic improvisations and the ensemble’s own original compositions.
Maeandros has performed concerts and led educational seminars at prestigious venues and institutions throughout the US. Maeandros will be presenting an educational workshop at 6th Street Sundays for those interested in learning more about the music and culture of the Aegean Sea region, including background on the instruments, rhythms, musical modes and history behind this beautiful and unique musical tradition.
At 2pm Maeandros will present a workshop structured for people who have some familiarity with music, although anyone with an interest in Greek music is welcome. Our presentation will include a performance of a few songs, explanations of the historical and geographical context of the music, and a brief description of the instruments. We will include some audience participation with rhythms and singing, and for those with more advanced musical knowledge, we will briefly discuss the structure of the makams (musical modes), and ornamentation. The workshop will conclude with a brief question and answer period.

Balkan Beat Box & Pad Brapad
Dec 9, 2010, 19h00
Ce concert a lieu à la Bellevillouse, 21 rue Boyer 75020 Paris
Tarif unique: 26€
Balkan Beat Box par du style klezmer et lui administre une bonne dose d'électro. Ori Kaplan (saxophone) forme le groupe en 2004 à New York, Balkan Beat Box est remarqué dès sa sortie en 2005. Il faut dire que la fusion de Balkan Beat Box sait intégrer des éléments multiples, pour en faire une musique dansante, joyeuse et originale. Blue Eyed Back Boy sort en mars 2010 pour que l'aventure continue et que la fusion soit belle.
C'est sur scène que leur musique prend toute son ampleur. Les musiciens se livrent à 300%, hurlent, dansent, parlent des langues inconnues, se battent en duel. Pad Brapad allie l'énergie de l'Est aux beats de l'Ouest pour une ambiance chaude et festive... Un livre volcanique qui vous emmène loin!

$10 cover includes a drinkJazz Rabbi’s Invitational: Later Prophets
7:30pm: Class on Ramchal’s (Rabbi Chaim Luzzato) ‘”Derech Hashem”
8:30pm: Later Prophets
Greg Wall’s Later Prophets, Tzadik recording artists, bring a highly literate Jewish sensibility to the forefront of jazz. Wall, has found the perfect partners in his bandmates keyboard wiz Shai Bachar, drummer extraordinaire Aaron Alexander, and the effervescent David Richards on bass. Together, they are able to simultaneously straddle the gates of the ancient and avant-garde. A leading figure in NY’s downtown music scene, “rabbi and fiery, eclectic Jewish-jazz luminary” (Time Out NY) Greg Wall was ordained in 2006 and may well be the only recording and touring jazz musician who is also a rabbi. His work is “a surprising multicultural collision worthy of Bill Laswell or Kip Hanrahan at their best,” noted Jon Andrews in DownBeat.

9 Volt Circuistry is an unlikely collaboration between 2 accomplished band leaders: trombonist, New York City native Rick Parker and Israeli guitarist Eyal Maoz. Parker's use of electronics with the trombone combined with Maoz's unique approach to guitar and effects results in a music that is a synthesis electronic experimental, rock, jazz and neoclassical minimalism. The trio is usually completed by drummer Yonadav Halevy or Ziv Ravitz, both of whom can be found crossing genres of music and the globe with their unique rhythmic talents.

From the medical treatises of Maimonides (who did advocate chicken soup), to the prophetic decrepitude of Kafka, to cranky Yiddish nursery rhymes, to Jewish inflected Broadway show tunes, and from anguished folk songs to novelty numbers of the early and late 20th century, this evening’s performance will musically explore the aches, pains, and plagues of the Jewish body and soul.
"Krankayt: Jews, Hypochondria and Song" is made possible in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

Fresh off of a sold-out concert at the 15th Annual Ashkenaz earlier this month, David Buchbinder's Odessa/Havana will return to the stage for a public performance at Lula Lounge. The show promises to be another memorable night of cutting-edge world jazz, played by some of the country's top musicians, in one of the city's best venues.
The group will be unveiling even more new songs as well as bringing back previous, award-winning music from their debut 2007 album released on Tzadik.
Dinner reservations are for 7:30 pm, and the show starts at 8:30. For guaranteed seating along with a great meal, please make a dinner reservation through Lula's website HERE.
