TPTA13: Franciska- A Small Piece of the Puzzle
Episode 13 was headlined by a conversation with Franciska! Even if c"v you have not yet been exposed to Franciska's music and the messages she's able to relay through her professionally-done music videos, you may have come across The Franciska Show or have heard about her company, Kay Productions LLC. Franciska is all about advocating for and promoting your cause. She leads by example on how to use a platform to impactfully fill a void. She’s constantly looking for ways to maximize her skillset and optimize her reach. I recommend checking out some of her projects. Host: Simcha Kranczer, cert...

TPTA12: What You Have to Offer
Episode 12 welcomes in Shlomo Sonnenberg. Shlomo has already begun establishing himself as a go-to for arrangements and productions... and it’s just the beginning. He continues to work on his craft as he delicately balances his own musical intuitions and convictions while also remaining open-minded as he caters to the client’s visions. Undoubtedly, we will hear big things from Shlomo- as a vocalist, musician, composer, arranger, producer, and I'm sure more. I’m glad we were able to connect BEFORE the bandwagon forms.Host: Simcha Kranczer (Psshh...) simcha.tpta@gmail.com 718-887-6211 Guest: Shlomo Sonnenberg shlomosonnenberg@gmail.comOutie: “Av Harachaman”...

TPTA11: Understanding Your Audience
Episode 11 was graced by musician Binyomin Ginzberg (of Breslov Bar Band). Binyomin has had such a vast array of experiences, from performing at all types of events (whether individually or as part of the two bands he’s put together) to releasing albums and even writing and publishing a book. Be it arrangements, transcriptions, or even retrieving nuggets of Jewish music history, Binyomin has so much to offer. I’m delighted that he was able to share some insights with us.

TPTA10: A Jewish Soul Searching for Jewish Music
In episode 10, we get to meet Yaakov Wasilewicz (Va-shee-leh-vitch, I think). Yaakov has quite a unique and impressive story and shares some charming instances of hashgacha along the way. It's very fulfilling (as well as one of the primary focuses of this podcast) getting a chance to know and promote a musical personality who is so easy to root for. Yaakov absolutely fits that criteria.

TPTA8: A Melody Should Not Be an Afterthought (short)
If the storyline behind a song pulls at your heart enough, does the song itself even have to be good for people to still rave about it? If one finds a singer to be charming, have the listeners already been too smitten to give an objective evaluation of the song? At what point does a particular theme or message or sob story become too cliche and too predictable? At what point do people start treating these as adequate substitutes for a strong melody and for clever lyrics?Laugh & like, support & share, rate & review.Host: Simcha Kranczer simcha.tpta@gmail.com 718-887-6211...

In episode 6, experienced musician Mendy Fisch (absentee neighbor but avid fan of the podcast) joyfully joins Simcha in another thought-provoking discussion sure to entertain JM lovers.Are there "filler" songs?

In episode 5, we get to hear what can be considered part 2 of the conversation with Hillel Kapnick. Simcha offers some more depth and background to the questions that were addressed while continuing to cross-reference many of the overlapping concepts mentioned in prior and future episodes. Some of the topics discussed are 1) Should an artist make sure to be proud of every project they're affiliated with? 2) Is it the artist promoting the song or the song promoting the artist? 3) How involved should the artist be in the process when he/she already has a team?A reminder to...

Simcha is joined by a longtime friend, Eli Daitchman, for the entirety of this episode. Jewish Music seems to have two simple criteria- it should be Jewish and it should be music, right? But can these two terms actually be defined adequately? What are the qualifications? What is the standard? Who decides what the threshold is and/or when someone has breached that boundary? Who...
