This unlikely trio came together when Di Martino (ironically the only non-Jew from the group) became fascinated with Yiddish songs, which happened, according to a press release, after he heard blues singer Alberta Hunter perform “I Love You Much Too Much” in Yiddish (Ich Hob Dich Tzufil Lieb). An unusual choice for a singer who was born in Memphis in 1895 and came to fame in the early 20th century during the jazz era.
