Case Western's Mark Cohen (right) with accompianist |
Nota Bene: Since my original publication of this post, the inimitable Dr. Cohen emailed me the following:
"Please credit my partner in crime (actually the brains
behind the operation): Narayan Kumar (from Mumbai). We're both learning guitar
online at Classical Guitar Corner Academy. Here's the backstory:
Introducing DuJu. DuJu in Mandarin has a few meanings, not all salutary. But it also means a
special talent or insight, which we arrogated to ourselves, whether deserved or
not -- although neither of us is Chinese. The preferred pronunciation is “Du-zhou”. Sounds and feels French. Which is
always a good thing -- although neither of us is French. In a word, DuJu is American, French, Chinese and Indian. Hey, we are an
international community here, right? We are probably pushing it when we suggest the name is also a combination of our
origins – one born a HinDU and the other a JU, er, Jew. It signifies a welcome
coming together of faiths in our troubled world through music -- although neither
of us is religious. Whatever. DuJu it is. It’s been fun to do this and we have some bits of music under discussion for
sharing with all of us. Barring soul-crushing, deafening silence from our
illustrious colleagues here, DuJu hope to being continually fresh and
entertaining. Performing around the world cannot be ruled out ;)"
