Trouble is, that would include the self-ordained and Christian-ordained
"rabbis" of certain groups, even if Jewish-born by someone's definition.

Let's not get into "who's an ordained/authentic/acceptable Rabbi," or
even "what's Jewish music,", but to paraphrase an old saying, "Who's a
Jewish musician?  One who will have Jewish musicians as grandchildren."

Be well, and have a good Shabbos.
