The JDC at 100: A Century of Humanitarianismtraces the history of the JDC—an organization founded to aid victims of World War I that has played a significant role in preserving and sustaining Jewish life across the globe. The thirteen essays in this volume, edited by Avinoam Patt, Atina Grossmann, Linda G. Levi, and Maud S. Mandel, reflect critically on the organization's transformative impact on Jewish communities throughout the world, covering topics such as aid for refugees from National Socialism in Cuba, Shanghai, Tehran, the Dominican Republic, France, Belgium, and Australia; assistance to Holocaust survivors in Displaced Persons camps for rebuilding and emigration; and assistance in Rome and Vienna to Soviet Jewish transmigrants in the 1970s.

Four hands and one piano. "A four-handed jazz piano duo has never been there before. Now, on our example, we hope that many pianists undertake such a project because it is nice to share the same instrument with a musician with whom one feels in complete harmony ». This time Cettina Donato adds to her habitual and contagious enthusiasm also that of the pioneer. It is not the first time that the musician from Messina has broken taboos, like when - first woman in Italy - he directed a symphony orchestra in a jazz repertoire. Now he has just recorded the cd (which will come out in January) "Piano 4Hands", born from the meeting with another leading name in Italian jazz: Stefania Tallini, as you pianist, arranger and composer.
