Shpil: The Art of Playing Klezmer is both a history of this popular form of traditional Jewish music and an instructional book for professional and amateur musicians. Since the revival of klezmer music in the United States in the mid-1970s, Yiddish songs and klezmer dance melodies have served as the soundtrack for a resurgence of interest in Ashkenazic Jewish culture across the globe. Klezmer has taken root not only in America’s major urban centers—New York City, Chicago, San Francisco—but also in emerging Jewish music hotspots like St. Petersburg, Buenos Aires, Krakow, and Tokyo. Its high energy, emotionally driven sound, and evocative Yiddish lyrics have found audiences everywhere.Shpil offers an expansive history of klezmer, from its medieval origins to the present era, and its contributors encompass a cast of world-renowned musicians who have recorded, performed, and studied klezmer for years. Individual chapters concentrate on the most common instruments found in a klezmer ensemble—violin, clarinet, accordion, bass, percussion, and voice—and conclude with a selection of three songs that illustrate and exemplify the history and techniques of that instrument. Shpil includes a glossary and a discography of both classic and new klezmer and Yiddish recordings, all designed to guide readers in an appreciation of this remarkable musical genre and the art of playing and singing klezmer tunes.Shpil: The Art of Playing Klezmer is ideal for amateur enthusiasts, musical scholars, beginning artists, and professional musicians, both solo and ensemble—indeed, anyone who wants to experience the joy of listening to and playing this thousand-year-old folk music.

Klezmer is Yiddish music, the music of the Jews of Europe and America, a music of laughter and tears, of weddings and festivals, of dancing and prayer. Born in the Middle Ages, it came of age in the shtetl (the Eastern European Jewish country town), where "a wedding without klezmer is worse than a funeral without tears." Most of the European klezmorim (klezmer players) were murdered in the Holocaust; in the last 25 years, however, klezmer has been reborn, with dozens of groups, often mixing klezmer with jazz or rock, gaining large followings throughout the world. The Book of Klezmer traces the music’s entire history, making use of extensive documentary material; interviews with forgotten klezmorim as well as luminaries such as Theodore Bikel, Leonard Nimoy, Joel Grey, Andy Statman, and John Zorn; and dozens of illuminating, stirring, and previously unpublished photographs.

Debs In Canton is original historical audio fiction.

On June 16, 1918, America’s leading voice of conscience, Eugene Victor Debs, stepped onto a stage in Canton, Ohio, and gave a soul-stirring speech against American intervention in WWI. He did so knowing the cost would be severe: Debs was charged with violating the Espionage Act of 1917 and sentenced to ten years in a federal penitentiary for sedition. The sixty-three-year-old cofounder of the Socialist Party of America ran for president from his jail cell in 1920. He received nearly a million votes.

Debs was an architect of FDR’s New Deal policy that saved the American working class and gave the middle class a chance to build a better and more just life. Today, he is known as being a personal hero to contemporary political thinkers like Bernie Sanders. To those who knew him as “The Man From Terre Haute,” Debs was a simple man, an extraordinary writer and orator, and an energetic believer in the best of humanity and the promise of this great nation.

Debs’s unwavering social conscience and his deeply held Christian faith created the foundation of his political philosophy. But it has never been easy for any man to risk everything—from his possessions, his family, his freedom, or his health—to do what he knows is right. Debs’s crisis is dramatized in Debs In Canton, a new work of audio fiction from SueMedia Productions and MidSummer Sound Company that looks at what his life might have been like in the months leading up to this seminal moment in American history.

Klezmer-musikern Shloyml måste arbeta extra i sin farbror Bishkes affär för att få ihop ekonomin under vintermånaderna. Extraknäcket ger honom en viktig funktion för det lilla judiska samhället i Buhu?i, det är nämligen Shloyml som åker till den årliga marknaden i Constan?a för att köpa den bästa israeliska olivoljan till Chanukkah. Det här året planerar emellertid de illvilliga Nebbish-bröderna att stoppa honom. I slutändan avgör ett rafflande parti dreydl om Shloyml kommer kunna rädda Channukah i Buhu?i eller inte. "Shloyml-Boyml mitn mazldikn dreydel/Shloyml Boyml and His Lucky Dreydl" är en tvåspråkig bok på engsleksa och jiddisch. Skriven av Yale Strom och översatt till jiddisch av Nikolaj Olniansky, samt traditionellt och stilfullt illustrerad av Emil Singer-Fuer.

Trombonisten Shloyml-Boyml återvänder i ett nytt rafflande äventyr. En dag får Shloyml ett brev från rabbinen i ?tefane?ti som bjuder in honom och hans band att spela på sin årliga purimfest. Ingen inbjudan man tackar nej till direkt då en lyckad spelning i ?tefane?ti hade öppnat många dörrar för den hårt arbetande klezmerorkestern. Men det finns ett problem. Rabbinen efterfrågar en spelning med fokus på fiol, och någon violinist finns inte i Shloymls band. Snabbt påbörjas letandet, men eftersom de flesta musiker är bokade under purim och då sökandet saboteras av de illvilliga bröderna Nebbish tycks hoppet förlorat. Men ibland dyker hjälpen upp på de mest oväntade av ställen.

Shloyml-Boyml un di purim-avanture / Shloyml Boyml and His Purim Adventure är en bok om klezmermusik, judisk kultur och judisk-romsk vänskap.

Bokserien om Shloyml-Boyml utspelar sig i det judiska Östeuropa under 1800-talet och är delvis baserad på författarens antropologiska studier i området. Skriven av den välrenommerade klezmermusikern Yale Strom och illustrerad av Emil Singer-Füer. Boken är tvåspråkig på jiddisch och engelska.
