  12. Another new photo, I think this guy was the founder of the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society (he's identified as such on one of the archways) but I know basically nothing about him. A cornet/trumpet player born in the Russian Empire. Such a common name that would be hard to search...🤔

  17. would love to see this live. some real great friends in this lineup. I'm actually someone surprised it's being produced in Germany and at a big festival but then again I haven't seen the details.

  22. a violinist and NY theatre musician possibly born in Bulgaria or Egypt in the mid 1880s, not sure about the klezmer connection aside from him being a member of a klezmers' burial society. love TO KNOW HIM WAS TO LOVE HIM

  28. glad this is coming together; a year ago when I was in NYC Pete Rushefsky met me and was telling me a trove of handwritten scores from cimbalom player Joseph Moskowitz had been uncovered in DC. I'll probably speak at this zoom about the old NY klezmer characters who appear in these scores.

  29. Why do #klezmer artists on #bandcamp tag their music #yiddish? Makes it much harder for us who are really looking for music in yiddish. Klezmer has a perfectly good tag regardless of if it's in yiddish, English, Hebrew or wordless

  30. I'm giving a free online talk about the history of the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society of New York on June 2, along with Dave Levitt, son and grandson of members of this klezmer mutual aid society. Hosted by the Workers Circle.

  31. as it's #BandcampFriday I bought these other two recent #klezmer albums I had been waiting for this occasion to buy as well.

    Night Bird by my friend Rebecca Mac, violinist from the Boston area: borschtbeat.bandcamp.com/album

    and Through The Walls, by British violinist Anna Lowenstein

  32. Sorry to be a mild hater about this UK organisation that 1) means well and 2) seems to be less closed to klezmer than they used to be😂 but honestly this post feels AI generated. I don't know why they would, maybe it's not, but it's bad enough when original writing has that flavour. Why not give context to the famous melody (ma yofus) and how it's interesting that it became so ubiquitous, rather than the bland description.

    They also misspelled Leibowitz but I can let that go...
