Scajé is the working name of a band that is based mainly around the New York City area and Jerusalem area. It was founded in 2006 when the members were all in 12th grade at Yeshiva of Far Rockaway. Their music spans the gamut from acoustic Kumzits styled Jewish folk, to borderline acid rock. The majority of the band's performances are jam sessions. All band members are orthodox Jews. History The band was formed originally by Minkoff and Singer in their dormitory in Far Rockaway, New York when they were in 12th grade. Friedman and Deutch (the son of Norman Deutch, former member of Regesh)were obvious candidates to join the band and over the past years they have jammed both by themselves and with other emerging and established musical artists throughout the eastern U.S. and Israel. Friedman, a noted bassist on the American Jewish Garage Rock scene has met critical acclaim from the Jewish Star, a Orthodox Jewish publication that is one of very few that covers the Genre. The band has also played at kumzitzs with Dov Shurin, Chaim Dovid a Rebbe of the Shtichin Dynasty, showing they are a up and coming talent in the small but growing genre of Jewish kumzits bands. Discography Scaje's first album, released in the winter of 2009, was typical of the band. No label, not sold at a profit and mostly cover songs. It was put onto Data Cds instead of audio because of track length ("Butcher Store, 1974" is a 23 minute version) It was titled "Yerushalyim" the Hebrew word for Jerusalem. Band member Yoel Minkoff claimed that 600 CD's were distributed though out Israel and the U.S.. # Return Again (Shlomo Carlbach) # Adam and Eve (Bob Marley) # Ani Ma'amin (Modzhtitz Nigun) (live) # The Ocean (Yoel Minkoff) # Beat box (Avishi Friedman, Chaim Singer) # Tata ich loeb dir (father I love you) (Traditional Yiddish) (live) # Stuck in the Middle (Stealers Wheel) (live) # Yisbarach Shemcha (Shlomo Carlbach) # Butcher Store, 1974 (Pinchas Deutch, Chaim Singer) # Leolam Lo Eshkach (Shlomo Carlbach) # Committed (Yoel Minkoff) # High (Avishi Friedman, Pinchas Deutch, Yoel Minkoff) # Intstrumental (Avishi Friedman, Pinchas Deutch, Yoel Minkoff, Chaim Singer, Simcha Rosenbaum) (live) # Haphacta Mispodea (Diaspora Yeshiva Band) # Shabbat Shachrit Kedusha (mimkomcha- chazzanut version) (Shlomo Carlbach) # Give up quiting (Chaim Singer) # Yerushalyim (Traditional) (live)
