SUMMERTIME IN THE CITY
Seeds of Sun, a New York-based jazz quintet comprising five Israeli musicians, performs four sets of jazzed up Israeli and Jewish songs. Their performance is part of the Jewish Museum’s “SummerNights” programming, which pairs musical performances and TV classics on Thursday evenings.
The band features vocalist Sagit Sherman, a former Israeli air force soloist; flutist Mattan Klein, bandleader of the Massa U’Mattan jazz trio; pianist Yoav Polachek, a jazz pianist and Internet audio specialist who has written scores for television and film; bassist Itamar Ziegler, a member of Pinknoise and the Blam, and drummer Yuval Lion, who played in the Israel Air Force Orchestra.
The ensemble performs in the museum’s kosher Café Weissman while TV broadcasts about the McCarthy-era blacklist are shown in the Scheuer Auditorium in conjunction with the museum’s exhibition “Entertaining America: Jews, Movies, and Broadcasting.”
The Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Ave.; Aug. 21, 5 p.m.-9 p.m.; pay what you wish. (212-423-3200 or www.thejewishmuseum.org)
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
