At the age of four Toni Iordache got to know the smaller portable version of the tzambal (cimbalom). Iordache's friend, the trumpeter Costel Vasilescu, remembers their first meeting well: "I met Toni in 1954 in a village on the outskirts of Bucharest. Toni was playing there and everyone was just standing around him and getting scared, because his playing was so insanely good." Iordache was so gifted a musician he soon was sent on tour through many European countries, the USA and Asia as a representative of Socialist Romania. Returning home he often drove from Bucharest Airport straight to a wedding where his band were waiting for him. At the beginning of the 1970s he was arrested for the illegal possession of foreign currency. Apparently he wanted to buy his wife a fur coat with the money he had earned abroad. Even the prestigious orchestra leader Florian Economu couldn't help his soloist at the trial when he spoke up for him: "We have three giants in Romania, Nicolae Ceausescu (head of state), Ilie Nastase (Romanian tennis champion) and the tzambal player Toni Iordache! Do you really want to convict him for a few dollars?". Toni Iordache was famous for his complex solos, a gifted ensemble player, who enriched many melodies with oriental elements and sophisticated rhythms. For him the technique of playing the tzambal was not solely one of speed; his sensitive touch, immense skill and imaginative verve marked him as a master amongst Lautari. Seriously ill with diabetes, Toni Iordache died in February 1988. Dan Armeanca, the godfather of Romanian Gypsy pop, states: "Toni was a genius on the tzambal, ones like that are not born twice. He respected tradition, but even back then he allowed jazz influences to sound through. He gave us young musicians courage due to his musical audacity." | |

That Joe Maneri was never released. It is from the collection of Abe Maneri Speaking of Harry Smith, about 10 years ago maybe, a fan of my radio show began corresponding with me. He caught my attention by mentioning that his old friend Harry Smith would've loved my show. (A comment that still humbles me.) It turned out that the listener was a poet and fellow traveler of Harry Smith's. We began communicating prolifically via email and I was drawn into a universe of Harry Smith history and arcana. Very thrilling stuff for me. This listener sent me tapes of another friend and Smith chum whose grandfather Harry had recorded more than 100 hours worth chanting ancient Hebrew liturgy. Amazing stuff. Well as our email backs and forths got heavier and deeper, I started to get a weird proselytizing feeling from the messages I was receiving. It turned out that this listener was a molecular biologist who was one of the leading AIDS denialists. He was named to the panel formed by then South African president Thabo Mbeki to support his horrendous AIDS policy. The listener sent me one of his books and was clearly recruiting me to use my radio show as a platform for his theories. At least that what I sensed what was happening. When I confronted him on this, the correspondence stopped cold. | |

I just hold onto the "Harry Smith would've loved your show" comment and imagine that it might be genuine. | |
