RE: https://klezmor.im/@carkner/116876668089661420
having been adding to this tally over morning coffee most days since this, and so far I'm at 165 Jewish musicians who lived along this strip ~1910-25, of which ~45 are known klezmer musicians and ~55 are Progressive Musical Benevolent Society members. (the organization's office was right here.) so really if there were likely many hundreds or low thousands of klezmer musicians (?) in NYC in that era, it's not at all the majority of them.

Loeffler has gone in a very different research direction lately but I definitely recommend his book "The Most Musical Nation: Jews and Culture in the Late Russian Empire" (2010)

I forget where I posted a thread about him on here, and good luck finding it with mastodon search, but ... in my new research looking into more potential klezmer musicians living along East 2nd St in Manhattan in the 1910s-20s I found a guy called Harry Loigsaltz. After getting confused by multiple appearances in directories I realized there were two Harry Loigsaltzes ... one being Harry Lubin👇

Two of the musicians from this East 2nd cohort have maddeningly variable spelling on their family name lol. Here is Harry (a drummer born 1906 in New York) on the column of donors to the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society plot erected in 1939. His father Morris (a trumpeter born around 1865 in Russia somewhere) also lived at various addresses along east 2nd before and after WWI. (1/2)

I'm going to make a video of a new song soon. Just a simple thing, political, of the moment. Solo. One camera, one take. What common mistakes have you noticed (besides using AI of course) that people make when they post their new songs? #music #youtube #peerTube #klezmer #folkmusic

trying to just follow my curiosity for my summer research without any particular goal, and I'm intrigued how many klezmer musicians lived on this two block stretch of East 2nd St in Manhattan during the 1910s-20s. I've counted about 90 so far and now poking around in the 1915 census to see who else.

Salute to this new #Klezmer band with the clunkiest band name that for once isn't a portmanteau of klez and something random

I'd be surprised if I didn't post this before somewhere, but I can't find it ... an ad in the Forverts in 1917 for a Bessarabier Arbeter Ring branch with the Fiedel Brothers Union Orchestra playing for it. Fred & his brothers were most likely the musicians.

have posted many times about the Fiedels on here I'm sure. Fred/Frank (b.1898 in Edineț, Bessarabia) was a violinist and one of several klezmer musician sons of Isaac Fiedel active in NY. love the violin on the grave

Benjamin Schuster (b.1881, Koretz, Volhynia, d.1947 Manhattan) a known but minor figure from old NY klezmer, a cornetist who played in orchestras like the Boiberiker Kapelle. I had some info on him but not his grave photo & now chuckling at movie still being in quotations in this 1920 census

a crankie performance with live original klezmer music & amazing narration. I'm biased because I am friends with some of the musicians but the whole writing & illustration of this project is on a different level than the usual in this scene. Very thoughtful repurposing of folktales to tell a modern story of grappling with pain and expression.
they released the soundtrack as an album too.

NY people, I highly recommend checking out Shterna and the Lost Voice at International Puppet Fringe Festival, 3 showings at Teatro Latea (107 Suffolk St) on August 13, 15 and 16.

getting the grave for this Sam Altman will hopefully clear things up: aside from the modern tech guy, I have about 5 different old NYC musician Sam Altmans in my database and I'm not sure which one is the PMBS member. it's still not immediately obvious as birth/death dates are imprecise everywhere.🥺

I had a dream that a sarcastic boomer guy in Facebook DMs was tantalizing me with snippets—but denying me actual access—to the musical manuscripts of a New York klezmer dude which he had in his possession. A scenario I have actually been through a few times now, in both benign and obnoxious versions📜👀

Anyhow, Brandwein or other klez celebs like Dave Tarras or Sam Beckerman also showed up in ads or meeting minutes being hired for diverse landsmanshaftn in New York back in that era (20s-50s) when they weren't hiring their local guy. love hearing secondhand how it felt on the customer side of it🤪

Cookie said, actually branches of her family were in the Veretskier landsmanshaft in NY and they hired Naftule Brandwein (celebrity clarinetist not at all from Nyzhni Vorota/Veretsky, he was from Przemyślany) & that he would diligently learn and play their local repertoire for them at their events.
