A source I'd love to see for my research is the supposed 1890 Baron de Hirsch survey of Jewish parts of Manhattan which I'd seen cited. I tried following those citations to their origin here in The Early Jewish Labor Movement in the United States (Antonovsky and Cherikover). this itself was written a century ago so🤷inconclusive.

photo of part of a page from a book, somewhat pixelated as it is being photographed from a computer screen. the text says: "There is one little-known contemporary source of information about the occupational and social structure of an important part of the American Jewish community in 1890. In that year the newly-founded Baron de Hirsch Fund conducted a house-to-house survey of the three New York East Side wards containing the most densely populated Jewish settlements. Of the estimated 200,000 Jews living in New York at the time, 111,690--the great majority of whom were East European—were included in this survey. The results were never published directly, and almost the only knowledge we have of them is from a communication by George M. Price in the St Petersburg Russian-Jewish Nedelnaia khronika voskhoda. Because of its significance and rarity, Price's report is presented here:"

Tonight: I think Close Up is my new favorite jazz club. Back tonight for more crazy good young talent. Yvonne Rogers leading a great band, all original material. First time seeing Rogers (on her birthday no less!), will definitely be keeping an eye out. Lots of compositional complexity, heavy listening, and sonic warmth.

Call to boycott the Blue Moon Hotel in NYC's Lower East Side:

Blue Moon Hotel owner Randy Settenbrino defended his son, Bram Settenbrino, who filmed himself blowing up a mosque in Gaza, calling it a “congratulatory video dedicating a detonation to honor a friend’s new marriage.”

Tonight: keeping it chill with an early dose of the singular Charlie Parr. As far as grizzled folk goes, this guy is severely underrated, although Mercury Lounge pretty full for an early Friday start. Started at 7:20 on a 7:30 start time! Fine by me. Sounds so damn good, a sound anyone would love.
