Songs for the Jewish American Jet Set

Songs For The Jewish-American Jet Set: The Tikva Records Story 1950-1973 is a new compilation celebrating the indie Jewish record label that raged in the latter half of the last century. Tikva had an eclectic roster, cranking out everything from Israeli folk and klezmer to cantorial singing, Catskills comedy, political spoken word, and 60s rock from the Jewish diaspora. And then, it all suddenly ended. Not willing to let this rich bit of music and Jewish history vanish into the lost record crates of history, David Katznelson and his co-conspirators at the non-profit Idelsohn Society for Musical Preservation curated this collection of the best of Tikva.
