Re: JEWISH-MUSIC digest 1602

[jonathan walton <jaw42...>]

Hi there,

I just noticed a dedication on my John Zorn 'Bar Kokhba' CD (Hugely 
recommended by the way) to Boruch Karliner (died 1879), who Zorn calls
'a legendary khazan from Karlin whose bold modulations and powerful 
improvisational style established a fertile precedent opening the door to 
new possibilities in Jewish music.'

A pretty impressive eulogy - would be v grateful for any more info about 
this musician who has certainly piqued my interest.

Thanks
Jonathan Walton
