Music reviews of Twenty Songs of the Chosen Surfers
Music Review: NOT AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS AT FIRST
Rating: 5 Stars
I HAVE A VERY EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF SURF MUSIC, FROM THE OLD, ORIGINAL STUFF, TO A LOT OF NEWER MUSIC, WHICH APPARENTLY BECAME POPULAR AGAIN AS A MUSICAL GENRE FOR SOME REASON AFTER THE MOVIE PULP FICTION. ANYWAY, I DIGRESS. IF YOU LISTEN TO ANY INTERVIEWS WITH DICK DALE, FOR EXAMPLE, HE WILL TELL YOU THAT A LOT OF THE MELODIES FOR THE ORIGINAL SURF MUSIC WERE BORROWED FROM TRADITIONAL MEDITERANNEAN SOUNDING MELODIES AND RHYTHMS, SO IT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE THAT THE TRANSITION OF TRADITIONAL "JEWISH" MUSIC ON THIS CD TRANSLATES WELL INTO SURF SOUNDS. MEL WALDORF(!) IS THE GUY WHO PLAYS ALL THE INSTRUMENTS ON THHIS CD, EXCEPT FOR DRUMS. AND HE PLAYS VERY WELL, IF YO ULIKE SURF MUSIC, IF YOU ARE JEWISH, OR EVEN IF YOU AREN'T A JEWISH SURFER, I THINK YOU WILL LIKE THIS CD.

Description of Twenty Songs of the Chosen Surfers
Ask any big Hollywood macher, and they?ll tell you that it?s the latest craze with the boychicks and maydeles! The parting of the Red Sea and the curl of the Banzai Pipeline to the sands of the Sinai and the waves of Waikiki to the Diamond District to Diamond Head! The songs of the Jews and the sound of the surf guitar. So grab your surfboard, a bobby-pin for your yarmulke and don?t forget the sunscreen! The whole mishpuchah will be there to kibitz, nosh and dance the Hora at the Meshugga Beach Party! Cowabunga dude!!!Meshugga Beach Party is actually Mel Waldorf (with drummers Shig Komiyama and Tom Rockwell), and his Twenty Songs of the Chosen Surfers is just what it sounds like: traditional Jewish songs played in the style of surf music, i.e., klezmer meets Ventures. Sound a little hokey? Well, maybe. But the two styles mesh surprisingly well. When this reviewer's Jewish father saw Pulp Fiction and Dick Dale's "Misirlou" began playing over the opening sequence, he expressed pleasant surprise that Quentin Tarantino was using a Yiddish folk song in his film. And he wasn't too far off--the tune actually began life as a Greek zeibekiko dance. Worth checking out if you'd like to hear a new twist on "Hava Nagila" or "Shalom Alechem"...or just like surf music, well-played. --Benjamin Lukoff
