Holiday Music that Isn't Cheesy?
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The holiday season in New York invariably mean more than the tried and true Christmas songs. Yale Strom is famous for his study and revival of klezmer music and has written a book about his travels through Eastern Europe. He’ll be reading excerpts from his book, entitled “A Wandering Feast: A Journey Through the Jewish Culture of Eastern Europe,” and performing songs with his co-author Elizabeth Schwartz at the B’Nai Jeshurun synagogue this week, and today he’ll be joining us with a preview. Also tune in for Flo Wiley, the host of Black Beat New York on WHCR (90.3 FM), who’ll be in to give us a heads-up on Black Christmas celebrations taking place around the city.
