Setting the Yiddish poetry of the revered Civil Rights advocate Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel to music, Basya Schechter has created a rich new collection of Yiddish songs. Colorful arrangements featuring many of the downtown Jewish scene’s greatest musicians, this exciting project blends Pharoah’s Daughter’s soulful grooves and lush instrumentation with Basya’s lovely voice and Heschel’s powerful poetry. After years of live gigs and months in the studio, this exciting project is finally made available on Tzadik. An instant classic!
