Shabos Zmiros – Cuban Jewish Jazz
OK, so in the grand scheme of my Shabos Zmiros posts, this may very well be the strangest so far. This is David Zasloff and Iliana Rose performing Congregation Kol Ami in LA. What on Earth are they performing? They call it Cuban Jewish Jazz.
And replacing jazz’s prerequisite trumpet with a shofar? Genius.
Sorry for such a dumb comment, but I wanted to say that I like the way you’ve stopped ending these with “amen, selah.” Good call and thanks for the song recommendations.
nice! especially impressed with the shofar playing. i need to learn how to play it. this is a fantastic mix of music here. loving it.
though not so sure about the hava nagila. they were doing so well! (that’s not a reflection on their performance of the tune, but on their choice of it at all).
Yonah, I’m sorry to hear that. I love doing that.
