EXHIBITION
THE CONTEMPORARY JEWISH MUSEUM PRESENTS Black Sabbath: The Secret Musical History of Black-Jewish Relations Yiddish jive?! Sit down and relax, or sing along and dance. Black Sabbath, based on the 2010 compilation by the Idelsohn Society of Musical Preservation, is a musical experience where the visitor is immersed in the sounds of a unique slice of recording history. This exhibition explores the Black-Jewish musical encounter, a secret history of the many Black responses to Jewish music, life, and culture. Whether it was Johnny Mathis singing “Kol Nidre,” Cab Calloway experimenting with Yiddish, or Aretha Franklin doing a 60s take on “Swanee”, learn how Black artists treated Jewish music as a resource for African-American identity, history and politics.
