Robert Cohen
Robert L. Cohen, contemporary maven of Jewish identity and culture, has produced a monumental compilation of 18 selections that provide an historical snapshot of the birth and growth of American Jewish music and its impact on our society. With cuts from original recordings by Craig Taubman, Hanna Tiferet Siegel, Linda Hirschhorn, Michael Shapiro, Yitzhak Husbands-Hankin, Elizabeth Swados, Beat'achon, Regesh, Safam, Tanchum Portnoy, Bruce Benson, The Fabrangen Fiddlers, The Diaspora Yeshiva Band, Kolos, Dveykus, Debbie Friedman, Shlomo Carlebach, and Shir Hadash, this CD combines popular music from all branches of Judaism, a rare treat! Robert's extensive liner notes provide an in-depth historical perspective, a detailed introduction to each song, and biographical information for all the artists. This treasure was years in production, with input along the way from Rabbi David Shneyer of the Maalot Seminary in Rockville, MD. Maalot is devoted to the perpetuation and development of Jewish music, liturgy, and the ceremonial arts, and will receive proceeds from the sale of this recording. |
