The Yiddish Song Project was formed in 2006 in Edinburgh, Scotland, with the aim of performing Yiddish song and taking it to new audiences and also creating new work in Yiddish. In the short time we’ve been together we’ve done just that. Our audiences are a wonderful mixture of Jewish community and world music fans aged between 14 and 92!
We do a little bit of everything from folk / klezmer, to musical theatre, tango, Yiddish swing and jazz, and throw some original composition into the mix. Our CD Zing! is available through http://www.jewishmusic-jmd.co.uk/
"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine
