SUMMARY:Unique Jazz Ensemble Returns for Ohio City House Concert
DESCRIPTION:\nFri 6/26 @ 8PM\nTeiku is a creative jazz ensemble\, founded b
 y Detroit percussionist Jonathan Barahal and Chicago pianist Josh Harlow w
 ho had the idea of using their respective Jewish-Ukrainian ancestors’ di
 stinctive Passover songs as the basis for jazz compositions. They formed T
 eiku after meeting in the Detroit jazz scene and discovered the confluence
  of their separate family histories. The word “Teiku\,” they share in 
 their bio\, is a Talmudic acronym that more or less means “unanswered qu
 estion\,” which describes duo’s process of musical and spiritual searc
 hing and discovery. Barahal and Harlow added bass clarinetist Jason Stein 
 and bassist Jaribu Shahid to help fulfill their unusual mission.\nThe ense
 mble released a self-titled album in 2024\, and recently their second call
 ed Klang\, which draws from sources such as rare manuscripts\, voice recor
 dings\, memories of late-night ritualistic chants and melodies from the wi
 der community. “Five of Klang’s six tracks represent the same Passove
 r song/liturgical text\, with each becoming a completely distinctive and u
 nique melody when filtered through regional and family variations\,” the
 y say.\nTeiku performed in Cleveland in 2019 at a Mechanic Street House co
 ncert\, a series hosted by Lynn Phares and Joel Elvery in their Ohio City 
 living room. And they’ll be back there again this week on Friday June 26
 . “It’s Joel’s favorite of all our concerts\,” they say.\nDoors op
 ens at 7:30 with the concert at 8. It’s a suggested donation of $25 whic
 h all goes to the musicians. To get more information or to reserve your sp
 ot go to team@mechanicstreetmusic.com.\n
