| 'Wonderful' |
| Yula Be'eri is well known as the alluring bass player with World Inferno/Friendship Society (see them in PUNKCAST#252). She also has her own band NaNuchKa, a gypsy-jazz power-trio, who I'd become aware of after they played Death Disco NY in 2005. This, on the 2006 summer solstice, was the coming out do for their self-released CD 'A Carefully Planned Accident'. It was grand party, with not only music, but enough sumptuous middle-eastern food to feed the entire crowd. Before Nanuchka went on everyone tried to squeeze into the basement where Jack Terricloth played with a crazy NJ band called Thackeray's Victims. Then it was on to the main event. Yula is as good a singer as a bass player, which is saying something. Unfortunately somehow my audio recording of the vocals got screwed up, so the only example I can give you here is when Jack T., having noted that Yula would not be joining WI/FS for their forthcoming tour, got up and joined her in a duet of 'Dream A Little' - the band being quiet enough that one can hear them. Otherwise I give you the two instrumentals they played: 'Oh Yeah Says' - on which they were joined by Peter Hess on clarinet; and the closer - 'Arabic' - on which they were joined by Tzafrir Lichtenstein on handdrum. Tzafrir a man of many talents being not just a musician but also responsible for the wonderful food. In the way that things go none of these tunes are in fact on the CD, but I still recommend you pick up a copy if you can. |

| Clicking on the images will take you to the clips on YouTube/Google. The h.264's are iPod ready. This is DVD994 (14,48:04). - as mentioned it's somewhat deficient in the audio. The 'A Carefully Planned Accident' CD is available via the band's website, and at their shows - I note they dates have approaching in Tel Aviv and London. |
