For nigh 10 years my wife's friend poured his heart and soul into a documentary about an extraordinary girls wrestling team at Taft High School in the #Bronx. Taft is known for being the first high school in the country to have metal detectors, but these pioneering women are looking to change that legacy.
The film won awards at several festivals but has never been widely available... until now!

I notice that Walter Zev Feldman's new book is out, "From the Bronx to the Bosphorus: Klezmer and Other Displaced Musics of New York." Feldman, a musicologist, is one of the key figures in the #klezmer revival & recorded with Andy Statman in the 70s. His 2016 book Klezmer: Music, History and Memory, for whatever minor parts I may disagree with, is one of the only reliable academic works in English on the genre.
