From West Africa: traditional Ghanaian dance-drumming and highlife. From Middle Eastern maksum played on doumbek and riqq (with clarinet) to batteries of Brazilian and Latin percussion as samba meets mambo for some salsa on their latkes.

AMID THE JASMINE
AMID THE JASMINE is filled with multi-cultural spirit conveyed through an eclectic mix of 11 songs of love and its angst in Ladino, Spanish, Arabic, English, and Hebrew from the Sephardic and Middle Eastern traditions, as well as original songs by Gerard Edery. The worldly nature of this performance goes much deeper than language. Edery’s warm and nuanced vocals are enhanced by The Gerard Edery Ensemble that provides somber or driving accompaniment one minute and a playful cushion of improvisations the next, on percussion, bass, violin, mandolin, and oud. The record's brilliant facets shine in a different light when the rhythm section, at times, brings a rock feel to a world beat, while tying everything together is the omnipresent flamenco guitar. Edery masterfully fills out the ensemble with beautiful arpeggios and embellishments and brings the songs to life. Selections include Hija Mia, Esperando, Ojos Asesinos, Entre las Huertas Paseando, Where Corals Lie, El Galanteo, Tres Hermanicas, El Encuentro Nocturno, Kochav Tsedek, La Ley Estimada, and Por Amar Una Donzella.

Sam Glaser and his band of virtuoso players are joined by all-star vocalists and a choir from Los Angeles’ Harkham Hillel Academy singing Chanukah hits old and new. With not-so-subtle musical influences ranging from The Beatles to Smokey Robinson to Van Halen to Louis Jordan, this collection of over twenty songs injects fresh energy and meaning into the Festival of Lights. On several tunes, Sam’s original lyrics are set to classic rock and R&B tunes (think “My Girl” by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles with the lyrics, “Every Chanukah you’ll hear me say/One thing makes me feel okay/Latkes, sour cream and latkes”); other Glaser original tunes showcase Sam’s outstanding talent and confirm why he was named one of the top ten Jewish performers in the U.S. by Moment magazine. Sam Glaser’s Rockin Chanukah Revue is guaranteed to rock all ages!
