Gershon Veroba - "Rabi Nachman"
Gershon was an early influence. He still sings very nicely here, but this tune doesn't speak to me. In general, I like the songs he writes more than the tunes he's bought from contemporary frum-pop writers.

I Totally Relate
A few years old, but well worth seeing. The lack of understanding of artists in the frum community, musicians, dancers, writers, is soul-breaking. The high-school I attended viewed the creative impulse as a yetzer hara to be stifled, rather than a gift to be cultivated.

Yoseph Nigun - Achiya Asher Cohen Alloro
An incredible tribute to Yossi Piamenta Z"L.
I've been thinking about why this resonates so much, and I think that it's because it works on multiple levels....As an homage to Yossi's style... as a creative song in its own right... with an inspired arrangement with multiple modulations... and because, unlike much of the contemporary Jewish music, it not only requires "chops" to play, but also has soul, which to much of the contemporary material lacks. It's hard to ID it, but like indecency, you know it when you see/hear it. Oh, and of course, klezmer clarinet! Check it out!
