The exhibition Jews on Vinyl is full of Latin-Jewish, bagels-and-bongos audio treasures, and this listening party celebrates everything from Yiddish mambos to Fiddler on the Roof charangas. Come hear how Tito Puente ended up playing the Catskills, how a Brooklyn Jew became known as El Judio Maravilloso, and much more. Presented in association with the Idelsohn Society for Musical Preservation. Make it a night. Light supper and cocktails will be available for purchase. And be sure to visit the exhibition; Jews on Vinyl will remain open to attendees until 9:30 p.
