Out Of Towner Reviews Big Time – Alter Heim
How often can an album be released featuring an all star lineup of Mordechai Ben David, Lipa Schmelczer, Dovid Gabay, Shloime Gertner, the Mezamrim Choir, Chilik Frank and the Freilach Orchestra, produced by Sheya Mendlowitz, and arranged by Suki Berry, and seemingly not even register a blip on the Jewish Music scene?

OutofTowner Reviews Hashkifah by Baruch Levine
Baruch Levine has long been known as a composer and performer, whose material is both sweet and enjoyable.

Every time
The Music & Magic of HASC 24
I was never really a fan of Hasc concert cd’s, I preferred my self made mixes of the songs and singers I like over the many performing artists at a Hasc Concert. Listening to Hasc 24 made me see this concert and its music in a different light. The first thing I realized was that

Lyla Byes: For Women and Children Only
It seems ironic that JMR ran a post on best Jewish songs that double as lullabies at the same time that I was asked to review an album titled “Lyla Byes”, a bedtime CD for mothers and children by Tamar Rudy. Featuring fifteen original and classic lullabies in addition to six bonus instrumental tracks,

Aderet’s recent release of the digitally remastered HASC’s A Time For Music Concerts Collection: 1-7 has brought back some very fond memories of my youth. Let me explain.

First Impression of Yerachmiel Begun and The Miami Boys Choir Me La’Hashem Ailai by OutOfTowner
Many professional choirs and choir leaders have come and gone over the years, but one constant in the Jewish Music scene is Yerachmiel Begun and the Miami Boys Choir.
