New Reviews and more...

[Renaissance Man <rainlore...>]

Happy C.E. New Year!

There's a whole bunch of new album reviews up on Rainlore's World of Music ( 
http://www.rainlore.demon.co.uk ), plus a profile of fab Aussie band Monsieur 
Camembert who recently won another ARIA Award for their current album, Absynthe 
(reviewed earlier), plus other bits of news etc. - see

http://www.rainlore.demon.co.uk/JewishMusic/


Reviews are of two more albums by superb Dutch Yiddish song duo Mariejan van 
Oort and Jacques Verheijen, "Brikele - A Concert of Yiddish Songs" plus their 
latest hot-off-the-presses "Mayn Fayfele - Songs of Gebirtig", a fab tribute to 
and musical portrait of Mordekhay Gebirtig. For something completely different, 
there's The Amazing Assaf's "Explicit Lifestyles" and "Damned If You Do, Damned 
If You Don't". Assaf's truly amazing and will here be more familiar as the 
percussionist of Daphna Sadeh's new all-star Voyagers line-up. Also familiar 
from the same line-up will be multi-woodwind phenomenon Stewart Curtis, whose 
albums with Stewart Curtis' K-Groove, "Smoked Salmon Salsa", and with the 
Stewart Curtis Trio, "Saracubana - The Stewart Curtis Trio Plays B.B. Cooper" 
are reviewed.

A "silent" update to the Jewish Music UK Calendar ( 
http://www.rainlore.demon.co.uk/JewishMusic/JMUKCalendar.html ) is due to 
follow in the next few days - so if you have any forthcoming UK dates of any 
kind of Jewish musical events, please contact me off-list ASAP with as much 
detail as poss.


More, much more, soon.
