In the Key of Hanukkah and Christmas...

-

 

 
This week's program is devoted to songs for those who celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas. We begin with Sue Maskaleris' "The Meaning (Peace & Love)," a samba response to Bob Dorough's "Blue Xmas," then roll into disks by Jorge Ben, Olivia Hime, Ivan Lins, Maria Bethânia, João Gilberto, Djavan & João Donato, and Emilio Santiago. The second part of the program is devoted to Hanukkah music, mainly Sephardic, with selections performed by David Krakauer, Erran Baron Cohen, Yasmin Levy, Kenny Ellis, and the Klezmer Conservatory Band. Boas festas, amigos.  
 
And as a bonus, Klezmer Conservatory Band's rendition of "O ir kleyne likhtelekh"  (from Oy, Chanukah, Rounder, 1987) is a personal favorite not on today's playlist (YouTube, below)...

Listen to this week's show On this week's edition of Caminhos do Jazz radio, we start off with a bit of futurism from Delia Fischer , Gilberto Gil and Sergio Mendes , then move into the formidable sound space of the late great Chico Science & Nação Zumbi ... And for a teaser... Our first set this week includes composer-singer-pianist Delia Fischer 's intriguing "Your Voice in My Head" (from Beyond Bossa , Origin, 2024), with English lyrics by Allen Morrison. The piece is a reflection on the emotional toll of artificial intelligence and social media. Meanwhile, as a bonus, here is a taste of the original version in Portuguese ("Orgia," from Mínimo , Self Produced, 2019).
