Now that you've mentioned wonderful new Jewish fusion music, I feel compelled to throw in a couple of my own recent favorites: Pharaoh's Daughter has a new album out, "Haran," that is the best yet from a group that does wonderful middle-eastern/Long Island hasidishe fusion.
And now touring again after lead singer Jewlia Eisenberg is largely recovered from a horrible bicycle accident is the a capella group Charming Hostess. If I say that their most recent album consists of poems written in Sarajevo during the siege, set to scintillating, often danceable music, by three powerful women's voices you only begin to get a sense of how much fun the band is.
