Gramophone In Focus Roundtable Discussion

The Klezmer Institute

What's next Shellac Collectors and the Future of Discography?

We've arrived at our Capstone Roundtable Discussion for this Series!Join all of our speakers for an interesting conversation about the current state of Jewish record collecting and discography! In Focus Series 2: Cataloguing Collecting, &amp; Contextualizing Early Recorded Jewish MusicGramophone recordings gave the modern klezmer community its earliest listen to the sound of twentieth century klezmer and Jewish music. To get to our ears, those discs were recorded onto cassette tapes and CDs and now they stream over bluetooth right into our wireless headphones—a succession of miracles of recorded sound technology. We wouldn’t have any of those sounds without the work of the collectors and discographers that we’re putting “In Focus” for this series. We’ll delve into the world of high-stakes Ebay auctions, serendipitous ephemera, chasing matrix numbers, and the utter joy of listening to improbably preserved shellac for the first time. Plus, we’ll explore the kinds of histories that can be uncovered through the careful reconstruction of recording sessions and follow the pathways of early record producers who collected the urban music that folklorists Brailoiou and Bartok scorned.About the SeriesJoin Klezmer Institute’s Christina Crowder to meet the people who have conducted some of the most important work in the documentation and collecting of early recordings of klezmer and other Jewish musics. Tune in live to ask your own questions and to participate in an intimate conversation about the day to day work of discographers and collectors that puts a focus on the personal reflections and stories that aren’t visible in the spreadsheet tables of a record catalogue.
