Sounds Like: In her most remarkable, ambitious CD release to date, Theresa Tova collaborates with masterful producer/arranger John Alcorn in celebrating the songs of Yiddish poet and sogwriter Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman (National Endowment of the Arts honoree) --reinterpreting these folk gems in settings that are a mélange of jazz, world and contemporary pop grooves. Featuring inspired performances by a group of virtuoso jazz musicians. The music is fresh and seductive, bridging the gap between the traditional roots of Jewish culture and 21st century sensibilities and rhythms.
