Listen to Eric Krasno and Leslie Mendelson Ring in the Jewish New Year at Brooklyn Bowl – 9/10/2018 Full Show AUD

The Brooklyn Bowl invited Rabbi Daniel Brenner to host the annual Rosh Hashana services this week. Brooklyn Bowl’s annual tradition, dubbed Bowl Hashana included an intimate performance by two artists who are no stranger to the Bowl—Eric Krasno and Leslie Mendelson.

After services, Krasno and Mendelson played a short and beautiful acoustic set. The set included a couple of Jewish standards like Hava Nagila and Avinu Malkeinu, plus plenty of covers that were a head-nod to the holiday. The duo even managed to tuck in the Grateful Dead’s “Friend of the Devil” towards the end of the set. It’s safe to say that this is most likely the first time in 5,779 years that “Friend of the Devil” was performed at Rosh Hashana services.

Fun fact: Eric Krasno’s grandfather, Lou Krasno, was the violinist and frontman of the renowned klezmer and gypsy jazz combo the Gypsy Gems.

UPDATE: Watch Oteil Burbridge and JGB Recreate the 5/5/88 Show at the Warfield – 5/5/2018 Full Show AUD

UPDATE: Thanks to Chris Hecht for the recording!

Melvin Seals and JGB (Jerry Garcia Band) have carried on the great music and spirit of the Jerry Garcia Band for the decades since his passing. Melvin invited a couple of friends to join JGB for a very special occasion this past weekend at the Warfield in San Francisco.

The Warfield was practically a second home for Jerry Garcia. Jerry amassed over 100 shows at the historic theater between Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band gigs. Melvin Seals and JGB celebrated Jerry’s legacy at the Warfield by recreating the May 5th, 1988 Jerry Garcia Band show. Oteil Burbridge, Stanley Jordan and Dave Ellis joined the JGB line-up for some added firepower.

Among the JGB the Dead classic played were “Eyes of the World,” “Stella Blue,” “Don’t Let Go,” “To Lay Me Down,” and “Get Out of My Life Woman.”
