New Jewish Music Label

Talk about E-c-l-e-c-t-i-c.....The Jewish Music Group is a Record Label and Music Distributor specializing in Jewish Music and Entertainment with everything from Connie Francis (remember her?) to Meshugga Beach Party (you know, that obvious blend of American instrumental surf guitar and Jewish music) on their front page this month. (Yes Virginleke, there is the possibility to blend anything with Jewish music!)

The label is owned and run by industry veterans Richard Foos (formerly Rhino, currently Shout Factory Entertainment) and David McLees (formerly Rhino Entertainment and Warner Music Group). JMG is distributed in the U.S. by RED Distribution exclusively in the the non-Judaica market. Label President, David McLees explains, "We want our releases to cover a wide spectrum of music, the Jewish retail world, as well as cross over into the broadest possible market including traditional, specialty and mainstream." Tel: 818-508-2500. Web: www.jewishmusicgroup.com. (Klezmatics, Debbie Friedman, and more).
