about

Live onstage from The Museum at Eldridge Street NYC.Trombonist Reut Regev improvises her solo, then leads into a tune found in several versions on early 20th c. recordings from both sides of the Atlantic: a New York-made 78 RPM disc by the Abe Schwartz Jewish Orchestra, recorded in February 1918; a pre-WWI 78 recorded in Eastern Europe by Belf’s Rumanian Orchestra; and a wax cylinder from Jewish Ukraine (1912–1914), sung there with lyrics in the first section about “Durniy, Durniy Marko” (Stupid, Stupid Marko). A melody variant sung in Yiddish is “S’iz nito keyn nekhtn” (Yesterday is Gone). The second section is also related to a wordless tune reportedly associated by Lubavich Hasidim with Mykolaiv in southern Ukraine.
