The single and EP comes ahead of a new album this spring they&#8217;ve been working on, &#8216;Basie Rocks!&#8217;, which sees them reimagining rock songs instead as jazz standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deborah&#8217;s vocals take centre stage in this jazzy twist on the track originally written by songwriter and satirist, Tom Lehrer. Produced by Charlie Calello, the spectacular arrangement is amplified by the legendary Count Basie Orchestra, whose soulful sound will immerse the listeners. It&#8217;s the perfect blend &#8211; Lehrer\u2019s witty lyricism along with the orchestra\u2019s upbeat instrumentation, along with Deborah&#8217;s ebullient vocals create an infectious masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the music video had to be set in Santa Monica itself, with Deborah hitting the beach, with the lush palm trees, gorgeous golden sands, waves lapping the shore, and the Pier; it&#8217;s not Hanukkah as we may know it but it&#8217;s perhaps something better. Deborah lights the menorah and spins dreidels, having fun in the California sun, which is brimming with holiday cheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch the wonderful music video for &#8216;(I&#8217;m Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica&#8217; below, and find out more about Deborah Silver and her music online on her official <a href=\"https:\/\/deborahsilvermusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/deborahsilvermusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/deborahbsilver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Deborah-Silver-655933951109196\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC7P4B7Wr5hFNLG43BTKH7Yg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/3mVGbbLuRhDTfZAOl4O85u?go=1&amp;sp_cid=a365446ceb9d379ab6096ef630b8ab69&amp;utm_source=embed_player_p&amp;utm_medium=desktop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tCDJCVBgxPE?si=hYYN0TNtJ08-pSLA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vibrant and enchanting, Deborah Silver brings her soul-soothing, powerful and sultry voice to &#8216;(I&#8217;m Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica&#8217;, her new single with The Count Basie Orchestra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":89725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"Vibrant and enchanting, Deborah Silver brings her soul-soothing, powerful and sultry voice to '(I'm Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica', her new single with The Count Basie Orchestra.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"Deborah Silver & The Count Basie Orchestra Enchant With '(I\u2019m Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica'","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Vibrant and enchanting, Deborah Silver brings her soul-soothing, powerful and sultry voice to '(I'm Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica', her new single with The Count Basie Orchestra.","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446,21449,640],"tags":[32750,32749,11720,77,370,1945,116,79,10677,81,22992],"class_list":["post-89684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-video-reviews","category-videos","tag-im-spending-hanukkah-in-santa-monica","tag-deborah-silver-and-the-count-basie-orchestra","tag-lisa-hafey","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-review","tag-single","tag-single-review","tag-video","tag-video-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-nkw","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":37853,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2018\/07\/devmo-hollywood\/","url_meta":{"origin":89684,"position":0},"title":"Devmo &#8211; &#8216;Hollywood&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"03\/07\/2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Devin Moses, performing at DEVMO, is a singer songwriter from Santa Monica, California.
