Artist: RODRIGUEZ, ROBERTO JUAN
Title: El Danzon De Moises
Label: TZADIK
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: TZ 7158
"The dynamic Latin percussionist for Joe Jackson, Marc Ribot's Postizos and a variety of other groups here excavates the fascinating world of Cuba's little-known Jewish community. Roberto's firsthand experience with both Cuban and Jewish traditions (performing at Havana Synagogues in the 1970s, and exposure to the Radical Jewish Culture Revolution in New York's downtown community of the 1990s,) have resulted in a brilliant recording blending the two into a seamless new music. Featuring an all-star lineup, El Danzon de Moises is a CD that will make you think, make you laugh and make you dance."

Title: The First Basket
Label: TZADIK
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: TZ 8136
"Charming and imaginative music for a controversial film that follows the Jewish basketball experience from ash cans placed on the stoops of brownstones to the bright lights of Madison Square Garden. Composed by Roberto Juan Rodriguez, whose CDs of modern Cuban-Jewish fusion have become Tzadik best sellers, the score jumps from klezmer to classical, dixieland, pop, rock and back again. Featuring an astounding array of downtown musicians, The First Basket establishes Roberto as a versatile composer who is capable of just about anything."


Artist: RODRIGUEZ, ROBERTO JUAN
Title: Timba Talmud
Label: TZADIK
Format: CD
Price: $14.50
Catalog #: TZ 8140
"Composer/percussionist Roberto Rodriguez's imaginative Cuban-Jewish fusion is some of the most charming and popular music on Tzadik. Continuing his creative reading of imaginary music from Havana's Jewish community, Roberto draws upon several traditions in Timba Talmud, his best CD yet. Performed by a tight band of musical all-stars, Son Montuno and Guaracha meet the Jewish tradition in this beautiful and sensitive collection of Latin klezmer."
