Editorial Reviews

Jewish Week

"A brilliant piano-bass duo reading of tunes from the Jewish and African-American sacred traditions and easily the best record I've reviewed this year. Warm, intelligent and swinging..."

Rabbi Herbert Brockman, Congregation Mishkan Israel, Hamden CT

"Music from two different cultural experiences, one enhancing the other."

Album Description

The music on this album consists of a series of bass and piano duets of jazz interpretations of sacred music from the African-American and Jewish traditions. The title comes from a Passover song based upon the ancient Hebrew saying that means,"once we were slaves." This is, of course, appropriate since both the Jewish and African-American peoples were forged from slavery.

Chag sameach to those celebrating this holiday. For the first passover in 8 years, my trip to California to celebrate this holiday no longer includes a dramatic improvement in weather.

Passover is my favorite holiday. My dad uses a "Humanist Haggadah" that stresses history and tradition over religion. Plus he's a great cook. The lamb this year was to DIE for.

[Larry Kart]

One of the best religious holidays imaginable; almost the whole story wrapped up in one story. I suggest Shelly Manne's "My Son the Jazz Drummer" (Contemporary), reissued on OJC under another title ("Desert Sands"?)
