Vol. 2 - Festival of Light
(more) »rank: 64683by: Various Artists
: :While the first Festival of Light compilation focused on putting an eclectic and young spin on music for Hanukkah, this follow-up is slightly more mellow (but no less diverse). Danny Heines's 'Singing Flames' gives his mesmerizing guitar work a hint of Middle Eastern rhythms; Dave Koz's 'Memories of a Winter's Night' features the musician's smooth saxophone work; and the Klezmatics--joined by Israeli vocalist Chava Alberstein--perform the soulful klezmer number 'I'm Going to Take Off My Shoes.' There's a ton of great, genre-blurring music here, but the real gems come from jazz trumpeter Frank London. His big band composition 'Oh Hanukkah Groove' is spiritual ...

Neshamah

: 's Best of 1999:You'd never guess that in presenting a slice of 'radical Jewish culture,' John Zorn would produce an album as exquisitely beautiful as guitarist Tim Sparks's Neshamah. Collecting traditional Jewish melodies from throughout Eastern Europe and the Middle East, this collection mixes the architecture of the melodies with Sparks's fast fingerwork, corralling the latter into discreet enough bits to create a constant sense of movement and drama. Given the prevalence of full bands in much Balkan and Klezmer music, Sparks's solo renditions have an awe-inducing power. He cherishes not only each note, even when they're coming with flashing speed, but he ...

While the band is typically best known for its ecstatic moments of musical celebration, even the instrumentals here have a subdued tone to them. The album is more reaffirming on its two versions ...
