Selected Piano Works of Louis Moreau Gottschalk by concert pianist Lambert Orkis
Gottschalk was a native Jewish New Orleanian and one of the world’s most popular musical composers and performers. After his untimely death at the age of 40 in 1869, his work faded into obscurity. Recently, it has been rediscovered by scholars and classical music fans alike. John Palmer, the founder of Skytel and former U.S. ambassador to Portugal, has teamed with Lambert Orkis to reissue this CD to help draw attention to the work of one of the South’s most talented composers. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to ISJL.

"Shalom Y'all"
Shalom Y'all is a documentary feature film about the Jewish experience in the American South as told through the eyes of a native son and the cultural cousins he encounters. At the center of the story is filmmaker, Brian Bain, a third generation southern Jew from New Orleans, searching his cultural roots. Traveling in an old Cadillac like the kind his one hundred-year old grandfather drove as a hat and tie salesman on the same roads, Brian takes the viewer 4200 miles through Delta flatlands, coastal low country, mountain passes, small towns, suburban subdivisions and sprawling sunbelt metropolises to discover a vibrant regional culture that blends the Old World with the New South. Through his search for a balance between modern life and ancient traditions, the filmmaker paints a post-modern picture of American life at the beginning of a new century.
Available in DVD.
