Dear Friends & Colleagues,

I'd like to let everyone know that Yiddish Summer Weimar is presenting our first ever "Winter Edition" from February 3-8, consisting of two Master Classes: the Yiddish Vocal Master Class, for both vocalists and accompanists, is being conducted by Yefim Chorny and Susanna Ghergus, and the Yiddish Instrumental Music Master Class is being conducted by Alan Bern and Christian Dawid. Both classes are intended to address the relative lack of professional-level coaching in our field, so they are restricted to professionals or very advanced students. To make sure we keep the focus at that level we're asking people to audition with recordings. Class size is limited to 17. For more information, please see www.yiddish-summer-weimar.de, click on the graphic that says Winter Edition, and please help us spread the word!

Thanks,
Alan Bern

There's klezmer every Tuesday night at Cafe Moto in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Music starts about 9:15PM and runs until about 11:45PM.

So come on out! Moto has a great menu, fantastic desserts (esp. the date cake) and brews on tap. It's at 394 Broadway in Brooklyn... can take the J or M subway trains to Hewes St. and Cafe Moto is right under the station—the strange wedge shaped building at the corner in the middle of the intersection. No cover, a hat is passed. There's klezmer every Tuesday night with some random assortment of Michael Winograd, Jake Shulman-Ment, Jeff Perlman and Pete Rushefsky and their friends.

Nikitov
Feb. 15
Synagoge Zwolle
Zwolle, NL
20.00 (Zaal open 19.30)

The Dutch-American Yiddish music quartet is in the middle
of their "Fun Shtetl Tsu Shtetl" all-synagogue tour of Holland.
The response has been overwhelming and the shows are selling out
across the country. Nikitov has been touring in support of their
latest recording "Vanderlust" on Chamsa records both in the US and
Europe. The group concludes the tour at De Waag in Haarlem where
centuries of troubadors performed to prove their skill and talent
and, in more recent history, folk singers like Joan Baez and Simon
and Garfunkel have come to pay homage to the great singers of the
past.

Havdalah/Melaveh Malkah
Sat., Feb 17, 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Temple Beth Zion, 1566 Beacon St., Brookline, MA

Havdalah Service with Lee Moore, followed by conversation and music spinning by Ari Davidow:

The Klezmer Revival: The Next Generation

With the Klezmatics putting Woody Guthrie poems to music it is clear that Jewish music in America is going through exciting new changes. It isn't just klezmer, Debbie Friedman, or Avraham Fried any more. Where an earlier generation gave the world "Bei Mir Bist du Shein," a Jewish Lubavitch hip hop singer is back on the mainstream pop charts, punk Yiddish singing (a band called "Golem") is taking the club circuit by storm and even today's klezmer has gone through some changes since our grandparents time.

Free and open to the public.

Playing in an unbound, energetic "village style", the trio Veretski Pass
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne :
February 20, 2007 Tuesday 7:30 PM
Smith Music Hall, open to public
For more information

Veretski Pass: With a new program, including new pieces for their upcoming
second album...

In Eastern Europe, the roots of "world music" go back centuries:
historically, Jews, Christians, Moslems, Rumanians, Ukrainians, and Roma
played music together in this multicultural area where professional
musicians had to know as many musical styles as the diverse peoples among
whom they lived. Veretski Pass, a trio of veteran klezmer artists, plays Old
Country Music that ranges from melodies of Medieval Poland and dances from
Bessarabia, Ruthenia, and Bukovina to music originating in the Ottoman
Empire—much of which they learned from field recordings they themselves
gathered.

Cookie Segelstein (Budowitz, New Haven Symphony Orchestra), Joshua Horowitz
(Budowitz), and Stuart Brotman (Ellis Island Band, The Klezmorim, San
Francisco Klezmer Experience, Brave Old World) synthesize raw energy and
polished musicianship to produce music of unusual depth and power on a
variety of traditional instruments, including violin, viola, button
accordion, bass, bassetl (three stringed bass), basy (three stringed Polish
folk cello), baraban (Jewish style drum), and tsimbl (hammered dulcimer).

On stage, as on its self-titled album, Veretski Pass extends an
irresistible invitation to discover a lost musical world full of deeply felt
emotions and unbound energy.

Reviews:
"An impressive line-up of US klezmer luminaries, Veretski Pass stands out
as something bold, unusual and musically satisfying."—Simon Broughton, Songlines

"This is the most rocking, roots klezmer album I have heard in years."—Ari Davidow, KlezmerShack

"Segelstein is the center of attention and is prepared for the challenge.
She has a recognizably individual style, with clear elements from mainstream
Klezmer and Hungarian Gypsy. Her playing shows technical mastery and assured
authority of the genres, often operating at full throttle, but always in
full control. "—Stacy Phillips, Fiddler Magazine

"The tunes are at once familiar and from a strange other world—compelling
in the same way that visiting a synagogue in a city where you can't speak
the language would be."—Jay Schwartz, Jewsweek

Veretski Pass CD and newly released third album of Budowitz is available at

"This is the most rocking, roots klezmer album I have heard in years."—Ari Davidow, KlezmerShack

"Segelstein is the center of attention and is prepared for the challenge.
She has a recognizably individual style, with clear elements from mainstream
Klezmer and Hungarian Gypsy. Her playing shows technical mastery and assured
authority of the genres, often operating at full throttle, but always in
full control. "—Stacy Phillips, Fiddler Magazine

"The tunes are at once familiar and from a strange other world—compelling
in the same way that visiting a synagogue in a city where you can't speak
the language would be."—Jay Schwartz, Jewsweek

Veretski Pass CD and newly released third album of Budowitz is available at

Nikitov
Feb. 17
Synagoge Groningen
Groningen, NL
20.15 (Zaal open 19.30)

The Dutch-American Yiddish music quartet is in the middle
of their "Fun Shtetl Tsu Shtetl" all-synagogue tour of Holland.
The response has been overwhelming and the shows are selling out
across the country. Nikitov has been touring in support of their
latest recording "Vanderlust" on Chamsa records both in the US and
Europe. The group concludes the tour at De Waag in Haarlem where
centuries of troubadors performed to prove their skill and talent
and, in more recent history, folk singers like Joan Baez and Simon
and Garfunkel have come to pay homage to the great singers of the
past.

Tarif : 25 €

Les BOOM PAM sont de véritables stars en Israël, notamment grâce à leur reprise du morceau grec "boom pam" qui a atteint en 2004 les sommets des charts israéliens.

Leur rencontre avec Shantel a accéléré leur popularité après une première partie de l'artiste phare du label allemand Essay Recordings à l'Opéra National de Berlin. Après ce premier essai très convaincant, Shantel les invitent à assurer les premières parties des concerts suivants avec de plus en plus d'enthousiasme de la part du public (Francfort, Cologne entre autres)."Si Tarentino et Kusturica réalisaient un long métrage ensemble, BOOM PAM serait la bande originale !!" Le Journal de Francfort. Influences : Link Wray, Klezmer, Elvis, Aris San, Leadbelly, Oum Kolthoum, Bud Powell, Dick Dale, The Rolling Stones. Titres clés : WEDDING SONG, SOUVLAKI #3, LET ME TOUCH. Promotion : lire VIBRATIONS octobre 2006 (Spécial Balkans) l'article + l'interview du groupe + écouter le titre sur le sampler (Wedding Song). wwww.boompam.org and myspace.com/boompam

... "J'essaie de faire quelque chose de nouveau et aussi une sorte de continuation. J'ai étudié l'histoire de cette musique, je veux voir où elle peut aller aujourd'hui."

Hip hop yiddish. Avec sa manière comme innée de plaquer un chant traditionnel hassidique sur un breakbeat old school, Socalled emporte le morceau. David Krakauer, autre grand rénovateur de la tradition, le repère immédiatement lorsqu'il sort son premier opus, un EP baptisé "The Hip Hop Seder", hommage iconoclaste à la Pessah, Pâque juive. Qui d'autre serait capable de faire rapper Killah Priest, du Wu Tang Clan, sur un verset de l'ancien Testament ? Krakauer collabore aujourd'hui régulièrement avec Socalled, un album somptueux paru l'an dernier, "Bubbemeises", en est la preuve. Le clarinettiste apparaît aussi, avec son complice trompettiste Frank London, sur "HipHopKhasene" (2003), autre collaboration décoiffante de Socalled avec la violoniste de Oi Va Voi Sophie Solomon. Car Socalled est comme ça, très partageur. Son nouvel album "Ghettoblaster" en est un témoignage éclatant. Enregistré dans une dizaine de studios, il fait intervenir une quarantaine de musiciens. Le chanteur yiddish Theodore Bikel, le groupe klezmer Beyond the Pale, le rappeur québécois Sans Pression, son ami Gonzalez, le pianiste lounge Irving Fields, 90 ans au compteur, l'inventeur du mélange latino-klezmer avec ses "Bagels and Bongos" dans les années 60.
Hip hop yiddish. Les deux termes paraîtront incongrus pour les tenants de la tradition. L'excellent Mickey Katz, bruiteur chez Spike Jones, le disait déjà dans sa biographie: je fais des disques trop ridicules pour les Juifs et pas assez pour les non Juifs. Ce que reprend Socalled à sa façon: "J'espère qu'on n'aura pas besoin d'être juif pour apprécier ma musique et que quand on est juif, on ne la détestera pas, on trouvera ça cool. J'essaie de faire quelque chose qui soit populaire." Juste de la bonne musique (texte complet sur www.label-bleu.com)". www.socalledmusic.com + myspace.com/socalled

The Yale Klezmer Band & Yale Women's Slavic Chorus
9pm Sat. February 24th
Slifka Center, Yale University
80 Wall St., New Haven, CT b/w Prospect and Temple Streets
$2 suggested donation (no one turned away for lack of funds)
(proceeds will help fund the Slavic Chorus's trip to Bulgaria, summer '07)

light refreshments provided

Dust off those dancin' shoes, the Yale Klezmer band is back for more freylach-making, this time with the Yale Women's Slavic Chorus. Each group will play a set, and there will be some collaborating between the groups. The Slavic chorus sings music of Bulgaria, Macedonia, the Balkans, etc. This music is characterized by odd time signatures (crooked dances), complex ornamentation, and close harmonies. It's beautiful to hear. The klezmer band will be venturing out of our standard repetoire to present some old forgotten klezmer gems, as well as some Balkan instrumentals.
