Album Description

JT is the classic triple threat - a skilled DJ, Producer & Remixer who logs countless miles DJing from Sydney to San Francisco. So it's only right that we kick off this new compilation series with one of the best.

The Franchise Player sound is the sound of the underground. This isn't music for glamorous ultra-clubs and their overpriced bottle-service. This is music for the true believers. The sound is deep and melodic but always tough, gritty and guaranteed to make you move.

Sharing the sacred.......2005-09-26

Sacred Bridge or Secular Cringe?.......2001-01-09

The recordings start with the earliest known Jewish music, and go historically through the music leading up to and including Sephardic traditional. Unfortunately, the producers put too much more emphasis on the Sephardic traditions than on the Ashkenazic (Northern and Eastern European Jews) which has its own ample share of Jewish music of historical note. While there may have been more "cross-cultural syncretism" in the Sephardic traditions, there are certainly worthy examples thereof in the Ashkenazic. It seems that the emphasis of this recording was placed on the music, and not on the scholarship.

It was disappointing to see that the instrumentation and arrangers were not listed separately. This is a major oversight, and hinders the listener in discerning who interpreted which pieces.

It was also disappointing that Mr. Joel Cohen failed to inform us about little things in the notes, i.e. the reasoning behind his interpretation of an unusual clef sign for Mi al har Horeb, or the basis for his claim that this music for Psalm 114 was the earliest music on record. Certainly some of the Greek music recording of Gregorio Paniagua would rival both the Psalm music as well as the Psalm text in antiquity. That is also coupled with the fact that we cannot substantiate whether the Psalms of David are truly his words or music, or whether either was composed at or around the time of the exile in Babylon. Considering the weight he places on his claim, a bit of background would have been nice.

Finally, the song descriptions were haphazard at best. It is difficult to keep up with all the musical sources, text sources, and source information when only a smattering of each is included.

However, in general, the project was well performed. Although no specific recording information is given, it is played at a level of musical communication usually found in a live group recording, with a level of perfection usually only found in studio recording. These musicians are very well adapted both to their ancient instruments and their ancient music.

From the roots of Jewish-Christian history.......2000-01-08

Most striking to me was the track that alternates an early Jewish chant of Psalm 114 and a Gregorian chant of the same Psalm. Mr. Cohen thinks this may be the oldest song on recording. I don't agree with that assessment; the music of the Temple at Jerusalem was different and far older (cf. my reviews of LA MUSIQUE DE LA BIBLE REVELEE, CD, and the book THE MUSIC OF THE BIBLE REVEALED, both on Amazon.com).

There are many other beautiful and haunting works on this CD, some of which make me think there was more Hellenistic influence on early Jewish music than the producer and performers realize. This CD gives us *popular* rather than *classical* Jewish liturgy, which then influenced Christian liturgy (and vice versa). It also gives us a good sample of popular, non-liturgical Jewish song.
