Thanks to the Jersey Journal and NJ.com for this article. The Gofundme is still open - please donate to help us through this rough patch if you can!

JC Studios was mostly made of up rehearsal rooms, some that artists rented hourly and some by the month, and hosted recording sessions as well.

There was a fire at our studio in 143 Columbus last week. We lost a lot of gear either due to fire or smoke/water damage. We've started a GoFundMe to help pay our employees and cover some of the expenses of relocating and rebuilding. Anyone who would like to help there's a link in our bio. And if you'd like to support our employee's bands/projects there will be links up on the JC Studios website soon. Thanks so much! And hopefully we'll see everyone at a new space soon!

So many people have reached out to express their support - thank you! We've always tried to be the "neighborhood music studio" - so it means a lot when you all have our back.

I’m delighted to announce the release of the Ayin Press Folio | Ya Ghorbati: Divas in Exile.

https://ayinpress.org/folios/ -ghorbati-divas-in-exile

"In this multimedia album, singer Laura Elkeslassy musically excavates her family’s history in Morocco, France, and Israel, coming face-to-face with forgotten ancestors and reclaiming her true family name. Developed in collaboration with music director Ira Khonen Temple, this project weaves together the stories of Judeo-Arab divas from the last century with new performances and interpretations of their folk and sacred music. Ya Ghorbati looks across time and space to tell a tale of political upheaval, exile, and displacement—ultimately questioning the supposed binary of Arab and Jew."

The concert featured in this multimedia album, Ya Ghorbati: Divas in Exile, was performed at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music in June 2021. Concert credits:
