Lecture: Jews in the Groove - The Great Mid-Century Jewish Record Labels
Monday December 23, 2024 11:15am - 12:30pm EST
507 - Hebrew Union College

Today we are left with hundreds of dusty records from a small handful of iconic and idiosyncratic mid-century Jewish record labels. This talk will give a broad introduction to the “major” Jewish record labels of the mid-20th century, and a glimpse into their storied discographies.
