Yossi Green "Leil Shishi" Z Report Interview with Yossi Zweig 9/6/17

with us via telephone all the way from his car somewhere you'll see green composer extraordinaire you there you'll see how are you how are you see welcome from the car somewhere isn't that great that you can you can do these kind of interviews from the car these days that's great but if not for the dinging of your car toward being open well the dinging the dinging the dinging is over you know as you can hear the dinging is just a memory at this point you'll see brand new album leo shishi talk to us about lil shishiyasi the fifth in a series of shades of green albums that we're sending i'm fortunate to be able to do over the last i think it's already 15 years that we started really yeah because if you remember in 2002 i was hired to do my first concert myself with the time guy called norman gilden which i think was the hospital the jewish hospice was the name of the organization at the time and it was in alice tully hall and when i asked i asked norman gilton at the time i said what made you decide to hire me to do a concert at this stage of my life i've been around for so many years berkeley says well i never knew that you may have you made and i never heard of you i just heard of you now because you you did shades of greens that's why i didn't know that you do anything in music beforehand that was his name that was the answer so that's why i know that all those years that i know i know exactly when that happened so i know that because one of the things that we did we had on the on that concert we had a group of guys remember i think one of them was geshenvaroba one of them was um dove levine we had four guys and they were called the shades and they were wearing these black shades you know these these big shades that you used to get when a person used to go for cataract surgery they would get these big black shades yes yes those are the shades they go over your places right over your glasses exactly so they were wearing these shades is there any video footage of this available so we can see this uh in those days you know so funny you know you always talk about video footage yeah this was pretty much before the time of video footage video footage was it wasn't it wasn't video footage it was cameras and then huge slab and all kinds of uh also if you remember at the time in lincoln center lincoln center is a very expensive venue and the only way that that any of these organizations were able to do to afford these venues they would make uh they would have very tight contracts regarding what they would not do they would not make a live recording they would definitely not do a video all these things if you wanted to do them you had to pay a lot of extra money for that and that would make it completely inaccessible so you had this concert and you realized at that time that people didn't know much about jesse green and far i mean the music fans knew your music but the average person on the street did not know what y'all see green gave to the jewish music right exactly they had no idea that i had anything to do with music at the time which is interesting but that's the way it was did i ever tell you about what the reason why i started doing shades of green did i ever tell you the reason well it was actually a pretty interesting story for us one of my daughters her name is miri she was 12 at the time can i know today she's the mother of my family and so on they live in north woodmere anyway her name is stern mary stern today but she came home she was about 12 years old and she came over that night she was very upset one night i don't remember which grade she was in she was about 12 years old and she says to me dad what do you do i told my friends that you write songs and and they didn't they didn't agree with me they said what does that mean if ramadan writes the lyrics and motherhood and david or daddy sings the song what is your father what does your father do yeah so i realized at the time that you know it's not clear you know today after i can tell you that after shades of green i believe that i have a tremendous headache in the fact that the public today knows everything they know they know who those covers they know who does the arrangements they know who did the song who composed it who was gonna compose it who wound up not girls they know that who did it was it done in part who how much did they pay for it i mean everybody is so uh aware today of all the different aspects of our music business in those days it was all a big mystery right so i said to myself at the time in car if this is the way that my own children don't even understand what this is then i'm gonna go ahead and i'm gonna take back the songs and i'm gonna call it the name of our family so obviously if i'm doing it then the question now becomes so wait a second and yasi green sings the song what does daddy do well then he brings it to the masses at the time but you understand what i'm saying of course it's very clear what betty did it's very it's very clear but it was very important to be able to understand that part as well so you start you you embarked on a five album with now a five album series called shades of green right yes so the first album was was um it was called although i didn't name it timeless because at the time the kiddish was of the name of shades of green i couldn't introduce two two names of a product at the same time so um it was called shades of green but it really meant timeless it stand for like the timelessness of some of those songs if you remember there were 24 songs in 12 sets of two each set had a different style shades of light jazz shades if i remember at the time the word light jazz was so problematic that the izzy taubenfeld oliver shalom fabik who was the owner of sameach at the time said to me that one of one of the stores in uh worked at taking in the the album because it said shades of light jazz and what does that mean of course people thought at that time the jazz jazz was like hey it was like a roundabout word for everything that was modern in music of course as the years went by jazz is just another form it's another style of music like classical music it's an arrangement as a matter of as a matter of fact jazz is considered america's america's gift of classical music to the world was jazz by the way as opposed to the europeans that gave the world classical music we gave the world jazz right so from then we from there we went and that that did bleh did incredibly well that was like at that time everybody loved music even more than singing i mean you know i i you know sometimes you go to a wedding today and you see there's two singers there's uh choirs there are you know and i remember i used to play trumpet for nagina and at the time when i don't know who came up with the idea to have a singer at the time who was an independent singer who stood in a band in front of a mic without a without without a musical instrument i remember that the client would scream that you're ripping us off you think i don't know what you're doing instead of sending us another blower on the instrument what you're doing is you're sending me just the just a singer it's hard to imagine that in those years like like there was a guy called gary votinger who played the piano anything he got paid an extra thirty dollars at night for singing no everybody began doing it with an instrument right but when in fact people would stand without an instrument where it became it became unheard of you walked you go to a wedding plane if there's not a singer standing in front of the band you don't understand so where's the singer something is wrong here as a matter of fact they have one-man bands where they have one finger and a musician because they're so it got to the point where the singer is so important so influential that he drives the wedding yeah and a singer with with one keyboard can create an entire wedding so but in those days it was all about music so when i sat with the astrologer we decided that we came up with a formula it would be two-thirds music one-third vocals and then the second album came along which was called hip at the time because uh it was hit and because the word is a yiddish word which stands for larger than life and because uh hiv sh has got an h in the beginning and an age and a head and in the end it had a nice look to it right and uh we called it hip so we we continue with the same format 24 songs in in in 12 sets of two with each each presented in a different style and this time already i met with the strong lamb at the time and we decided we'll do 50 singing and 50 music and that's also where you had a guest vocalist on one or two tracks it wasn't just all your secrets no there's no there was nothing and hitchhiked uh i guess only uh no i had it both tracks you got two tracks you had the ad solution that was a bonus track for outsole at the time it was called always on call right and then you had the track with aka pella featured on no no but aka bella was not considered singing it was called shades of acapella right okay so they were being treated so they were being treated like they were a style of music called acapella right they did a bang-up job wow but it wasn't until after the second album that you started to collaborate with artists yeah so the third album uh which was which was uh i came up with the name hartzig at the time we decided because a lot of people were telling me that the first two albums were very very driven they were very um it was mostly out of 12 tracks eight of them were based on fast rhythmic music and the other four were based on gentle more laid-back music and they were telling me look you know the yoshi had a very successful uh series called project relax right and it was doing very well and um at the time we kind of collaborated yeshi and i collaborated on how sick because at that time he was uh he was producing all of uh shawnee danskel's albums and we sat down and we have this uh we decided to do a partnership in doing a an album with 20 songs of mine sung by then it became a 50 50 collaboration and the second one was and then the fourth one was called um kite which i did with shragy issetner who has since gone on to bigger and better things can i know he's in business he's doing very well in other things and he had this beautiful voice and we did a again a 50-50 collaboration that did very well and then the following was supposed to be lactic that was the working title and then one day islamic he was going to be the collaboration for this our new album and um it was we looked at each other we said that's got the two two shins and two euros we said what a beautiful idea to call the album little chishi and as i wrote in the text and the album over there i wrote that lancishi represents people who are bakram who are giving from them from themselves more than they're required because that is optional you know i mean yeshiva you have to attend the siddharth to be up the whole the whole thursday night before shabbos and to learn many hours that's already an optional so i wrote we want to be associated with those members of claudius who are all giving who are always giving more of themselves than requests that's what we decided to call the album i think it's a great a great name i think it's a great album tell me y'all see this is the first time i believe you're working with a new arranger slash producer donnie gross what was your what was your experience like with donnie okay so donnie gross is uh is a phenomenon okay so for me i don't say it lightly because i've gone through uh can i know i'm in the business since 1973 so i have a uh i have a little experience so every once in a while claudia's soul is blessed with a gem but that the one from gives us a musical gem that can move our music forward you know people get older and and uh so you always want to know that there is somebody on deck that could move that could move jewish music forward and uh donnie malia he's a perfect storm he is somebody who first of all he is most importantly people think arrangements are most important but most importantly he is a vocal producer for excellence that means that what makes an album a jewish album great is its vocal producer because you know a lot of guys are great singers and but going into the studio and taking what you have inside you and putting it down on on what used to be called tape and it's today's digitals to put it down you have to have somebody who is manning the controls and it was listening carefully and pushes you and guides you and inspires you to be able to present this song in its best form possible and that is what's called a vocal producer i only became cognizant of that shia manblo it used to be he was the first one of its kind the one that i got involved with was in the eighth note was was uh yasi tiber leonardo who was uh it was amazing and uh he kind of got very busy doing it was with his own business and it was not um he's not as available as he used to be and along came donnie now that's number one so donnie is an amazing amazing vocal producer that beyond beyond you have to be a vocalist to really appreciate somebody like donnie then came the arranger part that's forward slash ranger arranger is somebody who understands how to present a song in a way that will be palatable to the to the public in a very beautiful way that doesn't take away from the song and definitely doesn't take away from the singer so donnie is that arranger and forward slash then comes the post what's called the post-production post-production is something that these are what i i'm describing what used to be three different people post-production is mixing editing all of those different things because uh sometimes the album all the all that the musicians and the vocalists do is they give you what's called data and then it's really in the editing and in the mixing is where the data is formatted into the beautiful piece of artwork that's finally presented to the public so you're talking about starting with with vocal production arrangement mixing and sadly about a year and a half ago we lost uh we lost a very very hush of a he the person named larry gate who was the mixer that not many people don't want to mix so um of course there's ellie shinsky who is amazing but how much how many how much time i can one person devote to all the albums so there always was larry gates as a matter of fact the one who did the mixing on my yiddish 9000 says larry really and larry sadly passed passed away oliver solomon he was a real real hush of a person if you want to know why i can i can dwell on that separately i've met him a few times and he always was a real mensch and he literally and he worked with everybody i mean you're talking about the hasidis of the modern of the modern everybody worked with larry he was equally good with everybody that he was equally good larry i'll tell you since you want to know i'll tell you i was by shia this past week and we discussed it and when i verbalized it she had like he looked at me and remembered he says wow you hit it down the head larry was a guy that if you walked into the you know you know people are but there's a lot of people in the studio all the time people are sometimes there's a lot here he said he thought he did that as soon as somebody would mention somebody else's name not in a negative way or you would tell them a story about this guy or that person or whatever he would he would his whole body would tense up he wouldn't say anything to you he wouldn't say hey stop talking about other people he just became intensely uncomfortable he began to look down at the mixing board until the person who did the speaking got to send you know something i'm just making this person very very uncomfortable so i began to notice this and then i noticed it again i began to suspect this that he is the person who his his nishama does not bear mushroom can't deal he can't take it he can't you know and and it got to the point that every time that people were around him if i saw somebody start saying i would whisper into guys here say quick i'm telling you right now don't say anything in front of larry because larry is going to feel very bad and it fits it's mama it's it's it's he's a sadiq in this respect don't put him through where he has to hear something that he doesn't want to hear and to this day i'm still saying that this is this was this was a topic because it is so big and it's so easy not not to be exotic if a person who has developed himself to such a point that he cannot tolerate when he hears somebody else talking about somebody else you know that you're dealing with exotic anyway larry passed away sadly so all of a sudden we have somebody it's not bad but the problem is which has a certain amount of time so he said i will do the mixing and mixing is a very give and take mixing it goes back and forth between the artist and then the the vocals and the music and can i know makes a mix b mix c makes d turning around one after the other and then you're talking about it in your mom who sits and learns you have sit down every day you can you can only go to him at a certain amount and you can only record at a certain hour because the other time yeah which is incredible and musical and funny and a sense of humor and he's not afraid to say whatever he has to say i mean he's working with a couple of very clutching people now and um they tell me i'll see if donnie has something that he doesn't like he does which which is great so donnie was doing all three jobs now he did all three jobs yes now matter of fact i feel i feel bad when i'm done with him now and i'm like casting along for another project quickly because i want to go back to record with it amazing now uh correct me if i'm wrong but the reason that you use donnie in the first place and the reason you went to simcoes in the first place is you heard schlemmer simple's album which donnie produced and arranged and you you were marveled at simcha's vocals maybe 20 years after you've worked with him absolutely absolutely slimy as uh if you want to talk about my opinion of islamic similar thinking trying to think it came out after the other arab album right and um i want to tell you was at that time in the world there were three singers there were two singers right chinese third singer literally to me he was a person i'm not even saying that he was number three i'm saying he was one of three great great great interpreters of jewish music you know by me it's not the voice it's not it's the understanding and the interpretation of the message in the song both musical and and and the text and slimy hat as a matter of fact join me with um many of the songs that i wrote i also became very close to him as friend friend-wise and he would come over he would be in from the rental for a job he would come over to the house and whenever he came over i would go to the piano and i would always wind up writing writing songs because he was sitting next to me he was so inspiring to me you know and those songs many many of them no no they didn't most of the songs they never went out a lot of the songs they wound up being on other people's albums very very kind of songs he's responsible for a lot of your material then technically yes yes he is very very inspiring as a matter of fact now he's uh looking forward to sitting down with him again i wanted i want to sit next to me by the piano it's very important when i write that i have somebody that i'm sitting next to that i'm writing for even though he may not be the person that eventually puts it out you understand but while i'm writing i'm writing it for him that makes i can't write for me i have to write for someone i have to feel like a pass through otherwise it doesn't work i think that what i like the most about this album and most of the albums he put out in general is how how the songs are coming from a spanning of major years you know first seder yeah you have caillou tauroid which goes back to alvin freed early career and then you have mayam robin from idisnachas you know and and now mayam robin is stuck in my head as a choir song and now i'm hearing it for the first time as the star vocalist is singing in and i'm blown away by it yet again yeah so people are with choice you know there's a good-sized pool to choose songs from and we need to choose 20 songs so what i generally do is i i put together a list of about 50 60 songs that i believe that you can choose from and then i give it to the singer to choose 20 songs i do not get involved in the choosing because obviously i have certain of my own gears of what i feel wasn't done so well the first time around and that i would like it to be redone or was done a little differently than i would have liked it i would have liked it to be you know so i don't get involved i tell the singer you choose the 20 songs that you feel you would you are mostly connected to and that you'll you will deliver it the best way you can so they presented me presented me with a list of songs that they would use and then i accepted and then we arranged them into five sets of four which is a whole a whole big big and how we come up with that and that's you know and then we name the set in this case since it's like we're talking about yeshiva so the phrase called first second third fourth and fifth grader jesse were there any of the songs on this album that weren't previously released on albums meaning they were released as a scene yes yes so what i wanted to do since i love the way slimey sings i wrote him a song called uh revolution it's it's a it's a kinda that i found after davoning which uh i thought was it's it's it's the first vicious happening he says so i wrote this original song for him and i felt you know i would like to do it like a bonus track on the album and users want to use a piece of it like like uh use use a cycle of it in one of the medals so this is what i did for the first time i think we're going to do this uh from now on we decided the russian would help that every once in a while every uh three four months whatever we'd get together and i would write him a song and uh we would do it to release it as a single because we love this idea very much and he's worth writing for also if you notice that the background vocals on this album are very different because he has such a beautiful edel voice so i was frampted when i did my vocals i i did very very i did it in the very back background way very soft very um you know somebody once made a joke that there's such a thing called support vocals it's such a thing called background vocals some people need support and some people just need a little background right and people know you'll see then you need a little background and people know has a big voice but they don't realize he can do really really soft stuff as well oh he's he's uh the sweetest gentle when he came into the business with with the magnesium and that special melody what are you saying that's all yes very inspiring yes agreeing with us via telephone we're talking about his brand new album lail shishi available now in stores through negan music available online neganmusic.com it's a shades of green album produced by donnie gross the donnie gross production featuring simcha and yasi green and from what yossi tells us is that he's looking forward to doing something more with simpson in the near future and all i can say is that us we're big fans of the album we can't wait to the album's divided up by five siddharim five sets of songs and the song of four songs the songs are literally from anybody you've ever heard of out from freed i believe there's a lot of slimy cone in the album there's also this nachos it spans easily 30 30 years ladies and gentlemen you'll see another thing that my listeners are asking me is about the brand new safer slash book man when is it going to be available in the united states it it um it arrived at bigelow eisen on 16th avenue today this morning now this book is written i believe entirely in ibrite right yes it's over the last three years it's a book that was written in a grid because first of all this subject lends itself to los angeles as much as possible so it is a lot of torah there's a lot of in jewish history in musical history and and personal stories uh events that took place over the last 30 years in this business my relationship with the different singers liaison it's a very positive book hashem there's everything i can tell you is true and it's interesting uh it took three years to write i uh i was writing for a an israeli newspaper that's when i kind of formalized my my hebrew my hebrew writing which to me is such it was the last 10 years that i've been working on mastering that you know mastering the language which is you know the island which which was available until until 100 years ago but but uh you know for cotton paste you don't have a word in los angeles so there's a development of the language and and um so you're able to describe the deepest uh emotion the the the most intellectual ideas ah there's no there's nothing like russian nothing like it it almost to the point that the trans people ask me about translating it back into english it's almost like [Applause] the the beauty of it is because it's in that language [Applause] does that mean it's not going to be translated into english at any time no no that's not well that's not what it means i have to tell you i i it depends on it depends on on the sales of the book in hebrew i can tell you belia and herrera that i spoke to akin gitler who is the worldwide distributor from the neighborhood he told me belia and her that he sold more books in the first week than he that the worst farm than he sold in years of a first of a first fighter so i was very i was very heartened by that i mean you've seen pictures on your social media of everybody reading it how how are the people in the music industry who you've uh who've bought the book or have gotten it from you i mean what is their response are they learning anything about jesse green that they didn't already know [Applause] absolutely there was a beautiful um there is there seems to be a i'm not sure if it's a website it is called google and they wrote a a critique on the book this morning and i'm saying okay here it goes here starts the critics you know and i'm reading the the critique and i have tears in my eyes at this guy who who read it read the read the cipher and then he wrote his critique about it he got it he really got the fight for he understood it and um i was so encouraged yeah that's his name you know tell me my my um my editor's name is kanani kanani blight bard we shortened his name to canali blight which also comes from the ocean by the way yeah but there's no relation there's no relations no relation so listeners zalman wants to know if you have any idea wonder safe is going to reach months here if it's only going to be available in borrow park for now well i'll tell you what the distributor it all depends on the way that the way the the way uh the way the safer is moving the distributor this is a new thing for me i you know i know how cds move right this is a uh it's a new thing for me i um sure that if there'll be interest in it in muncie there'll be there'll be uh plenty but i think muncie would be a great place for it because it's probably a lot of hebrew speaking people there too and so on it's it's um it's a i i definitely intend to make sure that it gets to all of the stores today in the mornings there was the first shipment that argentina shifted to big lies and so i have to see what the what the ethics how does it work how does the book this recycle distribution how does that work so that's a new um i'm sure that's a new thing for me i'm sure in borough park they have a lot of yiddish safari and yiddish books going out but hebrew is going to be something of a new one for them let's say yes i've been come back and tell you that i've been contacted by a uh very very hush of a hasidis a yiddish writer who read the book and he said he wants to be the one to translate it into yiddish and it's interesting to me i almost feel that that yiddish is is a preferred it's preferred over english in terms of a translation because the ideas will lend themselves better to yiddish than to english but uh we'll see we'll see where these guys look i'm very excited this is a brand new you know when you're right i spent a few years three years i mean every month's shop is sat down with shabbos and the whole sunday and monday late afternoon the evening every to write uh to write this and to rewrite it and rewrite it and so you know hashem and then when the bunch of them help you and you and and the book comes out and it's printed and you can hold it in your hand and other people can see it you know if you give us that that i was able to even get to have this host to be able to write and to be able to see it in actually in the store you know when they called me from big lies and today in the morning they said you're the eagle has landed you know the cypher is is here and it's in in my store i i i was like overwhelmed you know i ran to my wife i said imagine shapely imagine the deciphers in the star store so it's a it's a great feeling i'm wondering if this is as exciting as the first time you had a song that you saw the recorded no but i'll tell you why not because the first time i i did a song which was with igalsana called rama the whole concept i was through i was sober david i didn't know what a concert was i remember i went to the first concert and he was excited and he said yahtzee we're going to do in london school with negina orchestra and usually it's going to be in brooklyn college i have no idea what is brooklyn college i came from williamsburg you know right and um you have to come and you'll see a concert what's a concert you'll see people on stage they're singing they're dancing until i didn't see it with my own eyes i had no idea what he was talking about i remember i came in and the lights went down and the ego came out introduced the song called aroma and the kids started singing humming and singing and and you know there was like a skit that they acted out of rock or crying for the support for cloudy thrill and i remember i was sitting in my in my in my chair and one of the seats in the middle i was alone i didn't go with anybody i didn't know anybody at the time to go with and i literally floated above my chair i remember and i was wondering amazing i had no clue that the song somehow will translate to being performed i don't know if i'm i'm explaining myself clearly i you know i didn't understand what it meant to write it i didn't understand what it meant that other people would sing it and i really didn't understand what it meant that people would perform it or arrange it i remember i went we were talking about arrangements before the first time i met the israel lamb is when yigal saleh took me to the first rehearsal of the negina orchestra before the concert and i remember i saw those young bright brilliant toro vedas guys yasi leshwa it's uh strong his brother michael and sid stadler multiparous oliver and they got together and he counted off and they played the introduction and i heard the song i heard the arrangements i didn't hear the song i heard just what was around the song there's nobody singing it because they were just reading the notes and i didn't know exactly what was going on but i felt somehow very connected to this arrangement because i felt that it was and then suddenly i realized i asked his throne what is how is this how does this relate to the song so strong says i'll tell you when and when i finish the count start singing coil barometer and you'll see and i started singing coil barometer together with the guys in the rehearsal to myself i didn't sing it out live i sang it to myself and i literally broke down i understood for the first time what it means when you have a song and it's arranged and you have a bunch of professional musicians that are playing the arrangement ah wow amazing amazing yeah just agreeing with us via telephone talking about his latest album leil shishi and of course his new book slash safer and gina that's now available in beagle is in borough park soon to be traveling across the globe you'll see before we let you go what's next i mean i know you're working on i believe a shabbos album and i know you're working on your snack house too so why don't you tell us some of your secrets okay so one of the most successful projects i've ever done in my life and i'm very very proud of it and i'm in the middle of the first i have my partner is mushy crowd he does the live the live uh the live presentations right the live the live is live and i do you decide was recorded and it is very very very exciting i mean that's where the songs came out is kapsy and and uh and that's where the songs are are you know are coming out from originally right now right and i'm in the middle of this third album i'm a little late because i should have been i should have been much further than i am but we had a little uh we were exchanging songs we wanted to have the perfect songs we wanted to have the perfect arrangements this time we split it up between the moisture and another brilliant younger ranger in israel's name is yudika lily very very exciting young man to work with and and um we're in the middle of of uh series productions this past sunday i finished my vocals for the first song on the album first the kids do their vocals and then i do mine or sometimes i do mine first and they and they follow with theirs right so um that's that's very sad about shaman i'm dreaming of possibly hanukkah maybe hanukkah is a good time it's a lesson yeah the great thing aka time exactly and uh the other the other project i believe was supposed to be shavasana yeah the other project is is it's not probably green it began um i don't know if you have time but what happened was i had a very fascinating story i was once in israel and it was on a wednesday and i had come to wednesday before and i have an understanding with my wife and my family i don't not more than one shabbos at a time away from home so um and it's wednesday i'm opening up a newspaper in the morning i'm having breakfast in israel and i see the very strange thing i see that there's a guy called avrahami wrote like i'd known him a little bit i didn't know who he was with a choir he's doing a shabbos in the leonardo hotel you know the leonardo da plaza here slime but leonardo what are you talking about so i got i got a remy rod's number and i called up avraham he wrote and he says to me he said you're here in israel and i said yes i'm going home tonight no you're not going home you cannot go home tonight you must stay for shopping i said what are you talking about he tells me that they have created the shabbos somebody rented out a hotel sold 200 rooms and the idea was that the shabbos will be based around the songs that were written by me i said what do you mean they're based around the songs he said they started from himalayan all the way to adoring islam with all the samiras and the next day until uh the next until she does every single piece of music that's a song that's being presented is being presented that comes out as ours my songbook wow so i said i don't understand don't worry we have a big choir that's been trained and that we to be rehearsed and we practiced i said you're kidding me you have to say that i have this understanding with my wife i go ahead and i call my wife and i say what do we do you know it's like uh is there any way that we can just um you know just for now and and um she says you know what why did you stay for the shabbos then let's see what i have so i show up to this hotel on friday afternoon i come and come here with my my suitcase i have no idea where i'm going and i see the the parking lot is getting fuller and fuller and there is cars people are showing up with all kinds of eaten from all over israel all kinds of dilumi eaten or coming i don't know i don't know them i haven't i don't know how they even know who i am and i would get in and uh what began was the shabbos i was i was just sitting what am i supposed to do they said just sit back and enjoy i gotta tell you from the moment we started looking around the noon forget about it so of course by smears at night they had a center table and of course we already i i helped out with this mirrors you know and then i spoke a little bit about jewish music and so on but based on that i went ahead and i did an album with abram he writes that remy i was so excited i want to do an album with you and i wrote him a motion about because uh there was a famous motivation that uh had from the chia gave him so that he should do right so um and he won and he was struggling with the much of a harm part trying to find something of my songs that would fit i said how about if i write you an original mushroom as a present for for giving me the shabbos and that's and so he came up with the idea to do an entire album based on on a brand new with a real big professional cantorial choir is backing him up wow and we wrote i think the 17th song and a lot of originals [Music] wherever they needed they had a gap that they needed that they wanted something original they would call me jesse we needed an original song for this particular part wow and it's it's it's being mixed already and it's being mastered i'm waiting i'm waiting i'm waiting just to clarify you'll see the ziti bearish stuff and say the bearish songs they will not be on this album this is strictly yossi green no nothing to the love lady bearish is they said those are not my songs those are the songs of the helicopter i don't want to make it i don't want to talk about too much stuff here because it's going to confuse everybody as well we're very excited as a matter of fact the final song the you know on the vishva project they're ten songs and every song has a uh has a soul a guest solo the guest solo on the final song is wow very very very interesting very very interesting so you'll see i want to wish you first of all karaba both on the album and on the safer i mean the album i'm enjoying so uh you know that i'm getting something out of the save for me i'll meet up with you in the next couple days we'll try to get a copy absolutely and uh oh before we let you go we have to mention the yossi green radio app where lil shishi debuted was that that that was so well i got such feedback unbelievable yes so so to let everybody know yasi zweig helped me and and he actually produced an app for me called the aussie green radio which runs 24 hours a day six days a week just uh the songs that i recorded there are there are many duplicate different people recorded the same song so there are about a thousand um songs that are being where the computer randomly selects the next song and you can hear 24 hours a day also it has a video it has a all my videos are there on the video part of it and there are news that's right there are news and there are podcasts and there is social media access the milo is is that every week or two you're seeing me or where we're updating the music with new either covers that bands are doing or new albums like schumer as soon as jim lemur's album was out the jesse green composition off that album was automatically added this part to his stream so as time goes on any going to start doing some special like friday i would love to do i would even love to do some a list of songs that are not written by me that songs that i love which i would like to uh you know to have like an hour before shabbos or something like that where people are just having it listening to in the background as they're going around preparing for shabbos and so on so these are all ideas that are on the drawing board masterchem that will be first thing we wanted to do is we wanted to get it out available on android and iphone the android glial horizon is already working flawlessly the iphone is still a little bit uh we still have a bug here and there but it's getting better every day yeah and yes he's right did it for me yeah but anytime i get a chance to work with y'all see green i'm happy thank you you also have access to whatever you that's where it's at
