Here is a brief list of Jewish Music Information,
available on the Internet.

From: ari (at) emf(dot)emf(dot)net (Ari Davidow)
Newsgroups: alt.music.jewish,soc.culture.jewish
Subject: More Klez stuff online!
Date: 4 Jul 95 20:16:26 GMT ( Updated 19-Nov-96 )

     I've been in love with klez for about fifteen years--ever since
     Santa Cruz Klez and Bluegrass musician Jeff Brody was brought back
     from a party by a friend of mine at 2am just so he could play some
     tapes for me. This is called "Ari Davidow's Klez Picks" because I
     have my own ideas of what I want to hear in a klez band, and in what
     I value. I'm into the klez revival sounds that continue the growth
     of klezmer as a Jewish fusion of the world of music around us. This
     is not the place to read about musicians I tend to regard as
     shlockmeisters pandering to shmaltz and a rosy view of what was,
     such as Giora Feidman. Same name for the music. Same inspiration.
     But, "been there and done that" and it's no longer my scene.

 QUICK GUIDE

     If you are looking for sources of sheet music, your best sources
     (among those listed here) are the "online vendors" on the klezcontacts
     page. If you are looking for album recommendations, I have none
     other than what is present here. Similarly, I don't know what band
     would be best for your simkha or who would be available--contact
     your local Jewish community newspaper, book store, or federation--or
     any of the "bands from your area" listed on the klezcontacts page.
     And, mazel tov!

     If you have a klez story to tell, comments, reviews to add, or just
     want to let people know about your band, or have something else to
     say that I haven't already mentioned (and especially about bad links
     or other mistakes)--"send me e-mail". I'll get it all online as I have
     time. It's a pleasure!

   WHAT'S NEW ON THESE PAGES

     * Charlie Berg on Klezmer drumming--reminisce and practice. (Added
       10/18/95)
     * [INLINE] Kevin Linscott on Klezmer music from Lark in the Morning.
       Interview probably ciz1988. (Added 2/18/96)
   [INLINE] Contact information for klezfolk, and places to get klez
       recordings, music, and info, updated 2/18/96. Still a mess. Still
       lots of folks to add.
       More letters, including lots of interest in klez from Europe, in the
       feedback pages, updated 2/18/96.
   [INLINE] The Maxwell St. Band's page gets a link back to the Maxwell
     St. Market!

Can reviews of the magnificent Flying Bulgars or Finjan or
Geduldig un Thimann be far behind?!! The gloves are off!
