Oral History of American Jewish Music: Bringing the Past to Life
The Oral History Project of American Jewish Music, created by the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience in partnership with the Milken Archive of Jewish Music: the American Experience, is an audiovisual platform that provides a portal for scholars, researchers, musicians, listeners, and fans of Jewish Music to explore interviews of leading musicians, composers, cantors, and performers. A number of the oral histories feature historically significant individuals who are no longer living, such as Dave Brubeck and Freydele Oysher.
The field of Jewish Music has gained a new valuable resource which will expand knowledge about the evolving nature of music of the American Jewish experience.
