notes
Yiddish is Forever: the full 3-CD collection - 48 songs, more than 3 hours of great music - for only 25 $.
Jacqui Sussholz sings with such feeling, he can make your spine tingle. You'll hear his heart and you'll feel he knows your soul. He can be tender, joyous - listen to Veal Yedei (track 9)- or deeply moving, as on Babi Yar( 8). On a track like Rozo de Schabbos (16) he can make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Sussholz is the real thing: his traditional Yiddish and Hassidic music comes direct from the source, and you can hear it. The brilliant, richly-textured musical arrangements bring vibrant new life to Yiddish/Hassidic classics. This is music that transcends categories; music lovers everywhere will hear its call - and respond.
Yiddish really is for ever - and for everyone.
Jacqui Sussholz: the story so far...
Jacqui Sussholz is full of surprises. He's a diamond dealer in Antwerp - and he sings like an angel. He sings traditional Yiddish and Hassidic songs - with brilliant arrangements that transcend categories.. He's proud to be Jewish - but he's reaching out to the world. He performs in English, French, Dutch, German, Hebrew - and, of course, Yiddish.
Jacqui is a born artist, a natural all-round performer who has recorded 3 CDs and created his own one-man show Yiddish is Forever. He sings, he tells stories, he can make you laugh, he can break your heart.. And everything he does, he does with passion; he lives each moment to the full. You can sense that in every song he sings and every story he tells - hilarious monologues, Woody Allen style, about his own life. The full stage show blends the music and the humour to create great entertainment: it has played to packed, enthusiastic audiences in Belgium, France and Germany . He has now adapted a smaller-scale version for private functions, based on humorous stories of his experiences in the diamond world. 'It's doing great with all audiences' he says. 'And I can put it on anywhere. So long as the technical backup - sound system, etc. - is professional'
What's a diamond dealer doing in showbiz, you may ask? 'My mother's always asking that' Jacqui says. 'You spend all your time and money on singing, she says. What will become of you? So I say, 'Listen. Other guys in business, when they want a break, they drink, they gamble, they keep a fancy mistress somewhere. So what should I do?' And she gives me a look and says, 'Sing, Jacqui, sing!"
And that's what he does - with a warmth and humanity that will touch the hearts of audiences everywhere.

Jacqui Sussholz is not a professional singer. I remember him from the time I've been in the Diamant business in Antwerp/Belgium. The way of his singing is a perfect yiddish with the Polish (Warshaver) accent and the chassidic songs are in Lushen Kodesh, all with a contemporary background. It brings me back home, my younger years in Antwerp, the Jerusalem of the West or also called "the Last Stetl". Jacqui has made a great job. Thanks so much Jacqui for all these heimishe songs. Je te remercie Jacqui, ca me ramene 55 ans en arriere. Bonne chance!
"wonderfully sung, marvelously arranged Yiddish songs, a great treat!"
author: akiva seganI have the one CD set, and eagerly await buying the three CD box with even more Sussholz singing. The single CD is a wonderful compilation of Yiddish music sung with great gusto and earnest fervor by a singer who clearly loves his subject: Old Yiddish narrative story-songs... short Hasidic songs ranging from three words in lyrical length to seven or eight words...and one wordless Hasidic niggun. It's a real jewel of an album that will captivate listeners of all faiths and backgrounds. Whether you're very familiar with traditional eastern European Jewish music, mildly familiar, or are hearing it for the first time ever, you'll be singing along with Sussholz and his accompanists before you you say MITZVO!
