Well,
        I really couldn't say.

        What I do know, though, is there will be a concert at Avery Fisher Hall
in NYC on June 24th called

'The Jazz Connection - The Jewish & African-American Relationship'

        with Can Calloway, Ben Sidran, Ted Rosenthal, and The Klezmatics (among 
others)

        This is one of the events in the JVC Jazz Festival.

        You can all call (212) 787-2020 for more info.

        I have no connection with this, but I will be there...
