Jazz On Film

Curated by the National Jazz Museum in Harlem

New Jerusalem Orchestra - Eternal Love ("Ahavat Olamim”)

Hosted by Nadav Remez

The New Jerusalem Orchestra (NJO) is a world-class musical ensemble dedicated to creating new music that draws on African and Middle Eastern musical traditions, including Middle Eastern piyyut (Jewish traditions of sacred music), and is informed by a sophisticated and joyous jazz sensibility. The film, Eternal Love, documents a spirited and moving live performance from the 2010 Israel Festival, featuring the virtuoso musician, gifted bandleader and founding member of the NJO, the bassist Omer Avital, together with the celebrated saxophonist, Greg Tardy, and the master of Moroccan piyyut, Rabbi Haim Louk.

The National Jazz Museum in Harlem Presents

Under the Influence of Christian McBride

It’s been a while since Christian McBride has sat down and talked with us,

and we miss him as much as he misses us. Christian has had a busy year - so

what else is new? - and has a lot to lay on us. From leading the Monterey Jazz

Festival On Tour to performing across the globe with his group and others, we

have a lot of catching up to do. Join us as we get transported into his

living room as he regales us with stories from the road and updates us on

the great projects he is working on.
