OF NOTE ... NEW ON CD

Passionate yet soothing, the music
of Lori Kaufman, known as
NinetyNine, is similar in artistry and
beauty to the work of popular pianist
George Winston.
However, it offers something more;
in the midst of her work are some dis-
tinctly Jewish rhythms. For example,
in "Avinu Malkenu," the listener hears
the notes of what appears to be a sim-
ple but elegant composition — until
the familiar strains of the prayer are
heard.

Aa

Kaufman's ability practically leaps
from the CD. In "Menucha," she
builds a gentle but stirring melody,
while in "Shema Yisrael," she lends an
almost Arabic-inspired undertone that
builds to a more traditional classical
feel.
While the entire repertoire of origi-
nal songs is truly remarkable for a first
release, there are two standouts.
The first song and namesake of the
10-song compact disc, "Stones of
Fire," is breathtakingly beautiful.
Taken from a passage in the Book of
Ezekiel, the song is about 12 gem-
stones which relate to the 12 tribes of
Israel. The artist, using gematriah,
relates the passage as well to the 12
tones in music.
But perhaps the most haunting is
"For Shlomo," an adoring love song
on the surface. It is so darkly romantic
and builds to such a fantastic crescen-
do that it makes one wonder who the
heck Shlomo is. For the record, the
song is actually a tribute to Shlomo
Carlebach, a rabbi who is known as
the father of Jewish music.
All of the songs carry a Jewish
theme. But it is the simple artistry and
beauty of the work that makes this

music appealing to all crowds, Jews
and non-Jews alike.

SPEAKING OF THE
OSCARS ...

It was another glorious Hollywood
evening, only it happened in Orchard
Lake.
For their 12th annual musical .
party, Marvin and Marci Shulman
hosted an evening dubbed "A Night at
the Oscars." The men wore black tie
and the women donned gowns, and
everyone sported red AIDS ribbons.
Highlights of the evening included
renditions of Oscar-winning tunes over
the years, and, most important,. the
opportunity for guests to make contri-
butions to the Michigan Jewish AIDS
Coalition (MJAC). The organization
provides educational programs for the
community and referrals and support
to those touched by HIV/AIDS.
The Shulmans' soiree — Marvin is
an area ophthalmologist, and Marcy is
a cantorial soloist at Temple Israel —
collected almost $500 for MJAC.
