Jet Setting
Hey! You guys know how much I love Reboot/Stereophonic/Idelsohn Society, right?
So, I was delighted to be a guest on Beyond the Pale, a terrific radio program on WBAI, to talk about the newest IS project, Songs of the Jewish-American Jet Set. I was joined by co-guest, the effervescent, and youthful, Ariel Federow, with the incomparable Jenny Romaine conducting the whole shebang.
We had great time in the studio, listening to tracks from the CD as well as related tunes. There's some So Called, some Mickey Katz and a couple of fun surprises.
We also dug into questions of mystification, nostalgia and the uses of material culture. You should definitely give it a listen. Beyond the Pale podcast here! (And iTunes downloads here)
