It was such a blessing to bring together the Temple Isaiah Jazz Ensemble – also known as Steve Fox & Friends – for two very special pre-produced Shabbat services in spring 2021. Filmed live on Vollmer Deck, each service featured not just time-honored Jazz Shabbat favorites but also spoken words of history & blessing from folks who have been part of this Temple Isaiah tradition since the beginning. This unique album features Rabbi Jaclyn Cohen & Cantor Tifani Coyot with Steve Fox (piano), Larry Muradian (bass), Deborah Pearl (vocals), Rabbi Steven Carr-Reuben (drums), Joel Bienefeld (winds) as well as interviews with George Kahn, Cathy Klayman, Rabbi Bob Gan, Cantor Evan Kent & Steve Fox. With gratitude to the folks who made this possible, especially the production team of Drama ¾ led by David Fickas and Pranav Shah.
