You probably know all about Barbes, the go-to place to hear slavic soul and all varieties of western and eastern European music often with accordians and horns.
Now there’s the Jewish Music Cafe at 401 9th Street – right across the street from Barbes. Of all places. They’re both between 6th and 7th Avenue. But it makes so much sense now with Barbes, Colson Bakery and now this.
Klezmer, Israeli Trance, Hasidic Rap, Avante Garde Jazz – it’s all there with Hebrew beer, cheesecake, and Kosher cappuchino. 12 bucks gets you in.
This Thursday, programmer Elie Massias presents two bands that new music legend, John Zorn raves about. 8:30 p.m. Shows most Saturdays at 8:30. Check it out.
