The Days of Awe: Two CD release events

[dchevan <dchevan...>]

I'm excited to announce that my new CD: The Days of Awe: Meditations for 
Selichot, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur will be officially released on Thursday, 
August 14.  This groundbreaking recording is the very first jazz holiday album 
to focus exclusively on interpretations of music from the Jewish High Holy Day 
repertoire.  Six of the tracks on the album are my arrangements of High Holy 
Day prayers from the repertoire of the legendary Cantor, Yossele Rosenblatt.  
 
Accompanying me on the album are members of The Afro-Semitic Experience and 
Frank London of the Klezmatics.  It will be available on-line at several major 
outlets including www.hatikvahmusic.com, www.cdbaby.com, and www.amazon.com.


To celebrate the release of this unique album there will be two concerts in the 
coming weeks.
 
On Thursday, August 21,  12:00 p.m. I will be giving a free Concert at the 
Chase Bank Building Plaza/City Hall Annex, 999 Broad Street, Downtown 
Bridgeport, Connecticut.   The Afro-Semitic Experience will be palying music 
from The Days of Awe and This Is The Afro-Semitic Experience.

See you there.  Oh, and please let me know if you are in touch with any 
synagogues or other organizations that would like to host a performance of this 
very special repertoire during the period before and during Selichot.

B'Shalom,
David
