"A brilliant piano-bass duo reading of tunes from the Jewish and
African-American sacred traditions and easily the best record I've reviewed
this year. Warm, intelligent and swinging..." Jewish Week

"Avadim Hayinu" was a moving, inspiring program that brought together the
Jewish and African-American communities at UNH in both planning and enjoying
a community wide event." Raina Goldberg, Director of Regional Student
Services, Hillel Council of New England

 "I would like to indicate my appreciation for the educational quality-not
to mention the musical quality-of the selections that David and Warren
performed for our event . . .  [The] comments before each selection were
learned and engagingly presented and provided a striking example of how
music can reach the mind as well as the soul." Dr. Peter Zaas, Professor of
Religious Studies, Siena College


They will be appearing on Thursday, February 10, 2000, 7:30 p.m. in Gasson
