This Novem­ber brings us a glimpse into our musi­cal past. Thanks to Roger Ben­nett, Josh Kun, and Janet Macos­ka, we now have two new titles to enhance our image of Jews on the music scene. With Ben­nett and Kun’s And You Shall Know Us By the Trail of Our Vinyl you’ll have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to peruse album cov­ers of long ago and reac­quaint your­self with for­got­ten moments in Jew­ish Amer­i­can pop his­to­ry, includ­ing well-dressed can­tors singing Christ­mas tunes, Long Island sub­ur­ban­ites danc­ing the mam­bo, and Chas­sidic prog-rock­ers. With Macoska’s book of pho­tog­ra­phy Jews Rock!, you’ll have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to cel­e­brate the influ­ence of Jew­ish tal­ent in the world of rock and roll, includ­ing images of Bob Dylan, Gene Simons, Bil­ly Joel, Neil Dia­mond, and Bette Midler.
