There’s also music from the New Jersey-based progressive folk band Nefesh Mountain, who weave traditional Jesiwh texts into American roots music. Sung in English and Hebrew, Jewish spirit and soul meet with Bluegrass and Old-Time musical traditions.\nPlus, from the New Sounds Live concert series, revisit music recorded live at Merkin Hall in 1993 concert featuring Palestinian-American oud and violin player and composer Simon Shaheen (who holds Israeli citizenship) and improvising trumpeter Frank London.
