Adath Jeshurun 30th Annual Music Festival, “Good for the soul” Featuring: Joshua Nelson & The Kosher Gospel Singers www.adathjeshurun.com/musicfest. Louisville, Kentucky When Joshua Nelson sings his Kosher Gospel music, he commands attention. It's not just because of his fire-and-brimstone voice, the comparisons with the late Mahalia Jackson or even his discovery by Oprah Winfrey who called him "The Next Big Thing" in music, and whom he also counts as a friend. It's the places he performs, mostly synagogues, JCC's, concert halls, outdoor festivals, and national television. Joshua, who is black and Jewish,has combined the sounds of soul with Jewish liturgical music and first appeared on the Jewish music circuit a decade ago with the release of the national PBS special about his life, "Keep on Walking," which has been a big hit at Jewish Film Festivals around the globe. Joshua's appearance on the "Oprah Winfrey Show" catapulted his career nationally and internationally. He and his Singers have performed with such notables as Aretha Franklin, Jamie Fox, Maya Angelou, Ashford & Simpson, Cicely Tyson, Harry Belafonte, Billy Preston, Wynton Marsalis, Stephanie Mills, Cissy Houston, Dionne Warwick, Melba Moore, The Klezmatics, Former President Bill Clinton, President Barack Obama, European Royalty and at the funeral of jazz legend Sarah Vaughan.
