Spring 2002 - Recordings from Jewish Music Distribution UK, Latest selection 
from our comprehensive catalogue of Jewish Music on CD, Tape and Video


New Releases 2002:

Oi-Va-Voi - Digital Folklore

Think klezmer's old-fashioned? Think again. Oi-Va-Voi's love of traditional 
melodies and 21st Century break-beat is exploding out of their long awaited 
debut album and into nightclubs and concert halls around the world. Join the 
klezmer revolution. CD £13.99 

Music from the Choir of the Liberal Jewish Synagogue

The choir and soloists of Britain's oldest Progressive synagogue present an 
astonishing variety of music from Rossi's early 17th century antiphonal 
Venetian motets to works by living composers like Debbie Friedman. CD £ 14 

Chava Alberstein - Foreign Letters 

Chava Alberstein, often known as the First Lady of Israeli Song, has released 
her new ground breaking album after three years spent working outside Israel. 
Including for the first time lyrics in both Hebrew and Yiddish, she creates a 
rich mix of old and new, reflecting the diversity, the complexities and 
contradictions of Israel itself. CD £15.99 

Jewish Soul - Mike Tabor

Mike Tabor sings Jewish melodies from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. His 
individual style draws on the wordless nigunim of Hasidism, the popular, 
mystical Jewish movement born in the forests of Poland in the mid-1700s, with 
its emphasis on ecstatic emotion achieved through music, singing and dancing. 
CD £14.50 

Eliyahoo Hanabee - The Musical Tradition of the Bene Israel of Bombay

India's Jewish community, the Bene Israel, though fully absorbed into Indian 
society, never subjected to anti-semitism, isolated from other Jews until 
recently, adopting Hindu names and speaking the local language, nevertheless 
maintained their religious identity for centuries. Their distinctive musical 
tradition is celebrated on this CD, influenced both by Jewish models and by the 
music of their Hindu and Moslem neighbours. CD £15.50 

Joseph Malovany - Kaleidoscope 

One of the best of Malovany's recordings! Recorded live in various places 
around the globe, featuring the classic synagogue masterpieces. CD £13.50 
(available on cassette as well on request £8.50)

Yossele Rosenblatt - Hallel

A special selection of prayers dedicated to the three festivals: Sukkot, 
Shavuot and Pesach. Some of the tracks are being released for the first time on 
CD. CD £14 (available on cassette as well on request £8.50)

Just East of Jazz - Feast

If you enjoyed the last two albums, you'll love this one; if you're new to the 
group, prepare to be astonished. Bandleader Jeremy Shoham, Phil Scragg and Rick 
Finlay are joined by dazzling pianist Neil Angilley to present a brand new set 
of original compositions delving deeper into their successful mix of 
influences, from klezmer, Eastern Europe and beyond. CD £14 

Beyond Recall. A record of Jewish musical life in Nazi Berlin, 1933-1938

The scope and depth of the research and technical expertise which underlie the 
extraordinary project which has resulted in this 11 CD set (total playing time 
exceeds 14 hours) are unparalleled in our experience. The priceless sound 
documents rescued and restored here preserve a huge repertoire of classical 
music, Yiddish comedy, German cabaret, Palestinian folksongs and cantorial 
singing, all recorded during the barbarism of the period which began with 
Hitler's seizure of power in 1933. 

The lavishly illustrated, 500 page hardback which accompanies the set is a 
major work of historical investigation in its own right, and a DVD of the sound 
film 'Hebrew Melody', featuring violinist Andreas Weissgerber, once believed 
lost, is presented here for the first time. 11 CD Box + Book £158 (+ £6 p&p)
