[Harp-L] Re: Israeli and Jewish Music

[Jason Rosenblatt <jason@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marvin,

You can check out some of my music at http://www.cdbaby.com. My group  
Shtreiml performs  Eastern European Jewish music featuring the  
diatonic harmonica. I do perform Israeli music in addition to jazz,  
bluegrass, blues, Turkish etc. but I don't really have any good  
recorded examples.

This may also be a good time to plug my harmonica course and workshop  
which I've been teaching for the past 5 years at KlezKanada (http:// 
www.klezkanada.com)Topics covered include playing the different  
klezmer modes, improvising in Jewish music and achieving chromatisism  
(bends, overbends etc.) on the diatonic harmonica. Through the  
playing of musical examples and klezmer melodies it is hoped that  
participants, from beginners through advanced, will achieve a greater  
understanding of the harmonica's capabilities.

Thanks,

Jason Rosenblatt
