he CD title Great Jewish Music:
Burt Bacharach might seem to
suggest a recording filled with
religious-based selections. Not so.
The CD, which features Bacharach-
composed hits, is the first in a series
developed by another contemporary
composer, John Zorn, intent on put-
ting together collections by Jewish
composers.
Bacharach hits, such as "Promises,
Promises" and "Alfie," are played by
many musicians, Jewish and non-
Jewish.
Some of those same songs are likely to
be included in the concert planned for
Friday, June 28, at Detroit's Music Hall,
where Bacharach will lead a 23-piece
orchestra fronted by singer Dionne
Warwick, who won several Grammy
Awards singing Bacharach

Natalie Browne Gutnik incorporates
Hebrew letters and words into her
designs for walls and floors, but the let-
tering may not be apparent — even to
viewers who can read the language.
That's because the Wisconsin-based
Gutnik works with Hebrew script.
Gutnik's colorful floorcloths and wall-
cloths will be on display June 22-23 at
the second annual Fine Art at Meadow
Brook Music Festival. Her jew-
elry, also on exhibit, has no reli-
gious symbols.
"I've been doing Michigan
shows for 10 years, but most of
what I do is custom-made,"
says Gutnik, among 150 artists
selected by a jury for a mixed
media display. "I paint a lot of
underwater and forest scenes
and use semi-precious stones
for the jewelry."
Although Gutnik works with
canvas and acrylics to design
her cloths, there are other
chemical applications, including
varnish, so that her pieces can
be functional within homes. The
process takes months because of the
lengthy drying times.
"I was doing a lot of knitting when I
started taking quilting classes," explains
Gutnik, a former paralegal who has
enjoyed many kinds of craft projects. "I
didn't like the machine work that the
quilts required, and I began studying
floorcloths 10 years ago."
Gutnik's religious interests also have
been expressed in the way that she
works. She has connected with the vic-
tims of the Holocaust by deciding that
