I just read in the Boston Globe that Ellen Kushner's Klezmer episode of
'Sound and Spirit' will be rebroadcast this Sunday (Dec 13) and next
Sunday (Dec 20). From the WGBH web site:
5:00 Sound & Spirit The New Klezmorim. From its Eastern European roots,
Klezmer
music followed Ashkenazic Jewish culture
around the world, transmuting as it encountered
other traditions. Join host Ellen Kushner and
follow Klezmer from its earliest days of
cross-fertilization with Balkan Gypsy dance
music, to America and its meeting with African
American jazz, and on into the 21st century
as new Klez bands hit fusion with a techno
bang. We'll also use Klezmer's journey to
explore what it means to be a Jew in a changing
world. (R 12/20 at 2pm)
