A Happy Chanukah to everybody!

There's a bunch of new reviews on Rainlore's World of Music ( 
http://www.rainlore.demon.co.uk ), plus various bits 'n' pieces including a 
little personal appreciation of this list's incredibly hard working Geraldine at

The J4J issue which reared its ugly head in this list some months ago is also 
addressed there in a UK context.


Reviews include the fantastic, fabulous Alexandra Yaron live at London's The 
Spitz:

All three are lavishly illustrated as usual.


There are also a couple of superb albums reviewed. Multi-woodwind ace Stewart 
Curtis' Klezmer Groove's "Too Loud For Dinner" debut album is still an 
outstanding album and is the first of three coming up. Another first of three 
album reviews is the superb Dutch Yiddish song duo Mariejan van Oort and 
Jacques Verheijen's wonderful "Benkshaft" album.
