Sasson v’Simcha

Utterly gorgeous songs that combine traditional folk and bluegrass with the Jewish Sabbath liturgy to moving effect.
— Bandcamp

Sasson v'Simcha (Joy and Delight) is a collection of bluegrass and bluegrass-inspired settings of the traditional Jewish Friday night Shabbat liturgy. These seven selections were recorded on February 26, 2023, at Dimension Sound Studios, with accompanying music videos. The full service was premiered on May 12, 2023, at Congregation Beth-El Zedeck in Indianapolis, Indiana, for the retirement of Rabbi Dennis Sasso. David dedicates this music with love to both his parents, Rabbis Dennis and Sandy Sasso, and with gratitude to his childhood synagogue and second home.
