The Jewish Music Group, LLC. is proud to present their first three releases which are “The Best of the Moshav Band”, Debbie Friedman’s Anthology” and “Mesugga Beach Party”.

The Best of the Moshav Band: Higher and Higher takes us through the first 10 years of their career, and prepares us for the new studio album currently being recorded in Los Angeles that will be released by Jewish Music Group in early 2006.

Growing up Jewish in Westchester County, New York didn’t make for much surfing, but Mel Waldorf moved to the Bay Area and has built a career as one of the kings of surf guitar music. Meshugga Beach Party: Twenty Songs of the Chosen Surfers pays homage to the music of his forefathers – all done with the style, chords and reverb of the surf guitar.

On her latest release, Debbie Friedman Anthology, a 2 – CD career retrospective containing all of her best known and beloved songs. Debbie offers a history, not only of her outstanding career, but of the progress and growth in Jewish music and Judaism.
