Thirty-five years ago musician and scholar Henry Sapoznik happened upon a pile of old 78 records while researching Yiddish-American music. The son of Holocaust survivors, Sapoznik instantly recognized that each sound represented a rich exchange between Jewish immigrant culture and American society. Join us to explore Yiddish music and culture. Guest: Henry Sapoznik, award winning author, radio and record producer and performer of traditional Yiddish and American music. He is a four-time Grammy award nominee and has won two Peabody Awards for his work on The Yiddish Radio Project, which aired on NPR. He is credited with the late 20th century revival of klezmer.
