JaZZamir

Here is the lighter side of the Zamir Chorale of Boston. Maestro Joshua Jacobson and the Chorale have put together a celebration of jazz from America and Israel. You will hear Gershwin's classics, including Summertime and I Got Rhythm, Jewish-American popular songs such as Ba Mir Bistu Sheyn and Yiddisha Charleston, Shout unto the Lord from Dave Brubeck's Gates of Justice, Charles Davidson's jazzy Adon Olam, Moshe Wilensky's ode to the charms of South America, Venezuela, and even an Israeli version of Java Jive.
