Theresa Tova Sings Beyle

Theresa Tova is launching a new CD: "You Ask Me Why -- Tova Sings Beyle". It is an ambitious CD featuring a collaboration with masterful producer/arranger John Alcorn. The CD celebrates the songs of Yiddish poet and songwriter Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman (National Endowment of the Arts honoree). Tova places these folk gems in settings that are a meange of jazz, world and contemporary pop grooves... bridging the gap between the traditional roots of Jewish culture and 21st century sensibilities and rhythms.

The CD launch is Monday September 4th 5:30 pm at the Harbourfront Centre Theatre in Toronto with an all star jazz band:
Mark Eisenman Piano
Artie Roth Bass and Electric Bass
Daniel Barnes Drums and Percussion
Brian Katz Classical and Electric Guitars
Jane Bunnett Flute
Kelly Jefferson Tenor Saxophone
John Macleod Trumpet
and Julie Michels Vocal duet
