"Early Recordings of Jewish Music in Poland"

[Joel Bresler <joel.br...>]

Dear friends:

I am pleased to relate that my colleague Michael Aylward has started to 
publish some of the results of his impressive seven-year effort to compile 
a discography of commercial European Jewish recordings on cylinders and 
78s. His article (title above) appears in Vol. 16 of "Polin, Studies in 
Polish Jewry", Oxford and Portland, OR, The Littman Library of Jewish 
Civilization, 2003.

He is covering traditional Jewish music, defined here as excluding 
performances in the classical tradition. So far, Michael has documented 
5,500 recordings. It's well worth getting a copy of the article.

Michael would welcome assistance with the project and I am happy to forward 
inquiries to him.

Best,

Joel
