FOLK: Modern Folk, WORLD: Judaica



Details:
Modern folk/world fusion, with lyrics ranging from silly to sublime, with diverse instrumentation that sonically travels from Cape Cod to New Orleans to the Middle East to the comic-strip world of Lulu without missing a beat or breaking the spell.

Debut CD by multi-media artist-activist/songwriter Jerusha: 10 originals in settings that include folk, salsa, jazz and middle eastern elements, with Rick Arnoldi on guitar,Tom Beaver on keyboards,Hila Karni on cello,Bruce Abbott on horns, Lisa Brown, Guillaume Faure Pouget, Pat deGroot and Mohsen Subhi on drums, latin and middle eastern percussion, interspersed with field recordings and surprises. You will hear snatches of hebrew, arabic and spanish as well as a brand new song in yiddish that sounds like a folk lullaby. Cat-lover alert: the last few minutes are pure hi-fi catnip.
"A fascinating piece of work. Remarkable and amusingly varied. The aural equivalent of a good read. You never get bored, because things keep changing in unpredictable (yet hardly random) ways. Lovely, mysterious, beguiling." (see complete review from Day & Night below)
