You know those performances that you can’t get out of your head, even years later? For us, that’s the Taraf Degrief show from the summer of 2007. The group – composed of pianist Jacob Adler and unplugged vocalist DJ Richard – performed impassioned traditional Jewish songs written by Adler’s great-uncle before the uncle’s untimely death during a snowstorm in Prague. (The must-read story can be found at www.tarafdegrief.blogspot.com.) Needless to say, we’ll be front and center at Trunk Space when the duo ushers in Rosh Hashanah with a rare performance.
