Jamming Night
Spring 2004 (1/31/04)
at Shabbos House
|
As of now, only one Jamming Night was planned for the Spring
semester, and though it took a while to warm up into it, it turned out to be
one of our best ever. Quite a few musicians participated bringing lots of
musical variety.
Welcome back to alumnus Gabe Duci who brought the Jamming Night to a whole
new level when he got up here from New Paltz, and a welcome to transfer
students Aaron Goldberg (from Cleveland State) who played drums and Mike
Katzberg (from Rockland) who played guitar. Yishai Cohen,
Jason Kersch and Ben Lieb spent some time this week practicing a number of
(Jewish and contemporary) songs together. Also thanks to Dan Mandelkorn who
had folks singing along when he played, and AJ Nordlicht who gave it his all
when drumming away. Daniel Small couldn't play his violin due to technical
difficulty with his strings, but we look forward to hearing him another
time. Read the captions for anything or anyone we've missed.

Dan Mandelkorn on electric
guitar (L) with AJ Nordlicht on Drums. It took some time for everyone to get
in tune, and to pick songs and musical style. The variety of styles made for
a fun evening. |
Yishai (on acoustic
guitar), Jason (on piano/keyboard) and Ben on Drums. They practiced a few
songs during the week - playing a variety of Jewish and contemporary music.

Alumnus Gabe Duci came back
to visit and gave it his all in the latter part of the Jamming Night. Until
1am, strumming away, full of feeling and flavor. After a while it switched
over from playing songs to lively jammin' and sharing inspirational stories
and "farbrengening". |
Andrew Genger came by after
(a hard evening of ) work in FYE, and got intense with the Bongos. Together
with Gabe and Ben - the beat and the singing kept getting stronger. A night
to remember. |
 |
 |
|
Aaron Goldberg (transferred
this semester from Cleveland State) drums late in the night in the Jam
session. |
Daffney Weisser (L) has
been away for the year, and is back up in Albany for a visit. Together with
Michele Adler they're looking at back at old Shabbos House picture albums.

These guys really helped
make Jamming Night special...

Katzberg, Daniel Small (who brought his violin - but a string broke.. we
hope to hear it another time) and Michael Kupferberg. |
Gathered round with David
Gretah for a re-do of an old classic at SH Jamming Nights - "The Hands
are..." |

Michael (a friend of the
Copp's) came by and played along with the guys. |

Warming Up. Coming in from
the cold, eating hot Pizza, shmoozing about the upcoming Superbowl (and
pre-game shows) while the musician folks arrive and get in tune.
|
The Collitins hang out with
the Rubin kids on the couch, giving them a great time. |

Rachel Copp (R) and her
sister Cybil. They also brought along Michael, who joined in and played a
few songs. |
Moshe had a great time
managing two instruments, and being accompanied by the big guys - AJ
Nordlicht and then Yishai Cohen. |

Rachel Harris and Corrie
Fierstein. |
Revi and Ben. What's up
with this? |
 |
 |

Sam Gilman (who quietly
helped out to ready Shabbos House for a Jamming Night after Shabbos) and
Shoshana Kurlantzik who somehow managed to strum quiet a few songs on the
guitar despite all the music around her. |
Rabbi Mendel and Raizy
Rubin with little Sara at the Aron Kodesh. She loved the music (though
sometimes frightened by the drums) and even clapped along for some of the
heavy music. |
