SUMMARY:Jews and Jazz – a Talk by Yale Strom
DESCRIPTION:Jews and Jazz\, a lecture by Yale Strom\, explores the fascinating relationship between Jewish and African American musicians\, lyricists\, composers\, and producers during the 1920s–40s. In the world of jazz\, these two minority communities found common ground\, creating collaborations that helped shape American music and culture. \nFor many Jews\, particularly those from immigrant and working-class backgrounds\, and for African Americans confronting systemic poverty and segregation\, music offered a rare path to artistic expression\, professional opportunity\, and public recognition. During the swing era\, Jewish bandleaders such as Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw performed with African American musicians including Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton at a time when racial segregation remained widespread in American public life. \nWhen: Sunday\, October 11\, 2026\, 10:00 a.m.– 11:00 a.m. PT / 12:00–1:00 p.m. CT / 1:00–2:00 p.m. ET \nWhere: Online (Zoom) \nCost: \nEarly bird pricing: $20 (if registered before September 27\, 2026) \nRegular pricing: $25 \nRegister for this event \nArtist Name: Yale Strom \nArtist’s Bio: \nYale Strom (violin) is one of the world’s leading ethnographer-artists of klezmer and Romani music and history. With a master’s degree in Yiddish Studies\, he has conducted extensive ethnographic research across Eastern Europe on Jewish and Romani musical culture. \nHis fieldwork shaped the repertoire of his klezmer band Hot Pstromi and informed his work directing 10 award-winning documentary films\, including The Last Klezmer (Oscar short-list). \nStrom has written 15 books and two award-winning audio dramas\, recorded 20 CDs\, and presented numerous photo exhibitions in North America and Europe. His latest documentary\, Recordially Yours: Lou Curtiss (2023)\, explores the life of San Diego audiophile-ethnomusicologist Lou Curtiss; he is currently developing a musical on Marc and Bella Chagall. Strom was Artist-in-Residence in Jewish Studies at San Diego State University (2006–2020). He now teaches in the Music Department and previously taught at New York University. His first historical novel\, The Autobiography of the Offenbacher\, will be published in 2026.
