It therefore seemed logical for someone at Riverside Records to come up with the bright idea of making an album of Jewish songs done Afro-Cuban style, although legendary jazz producer and Riverside co-owner Orrin Keepnews denies any direct involvement. Italian-American studio musician and arranger John Cali was hired for the project and assembled seven jazz musicians, among them three prominent Latinos — pianist Charlie Palmieri and percussionists Ray Barretto and Willie Rodriguez — a Jewish clarinetist and flute player, and a presumably Jewish vocalist to perform "Yiddish Favorites in Latin Tempos," as the album was subtitled. Cali, normally a banjo player, switched to lute and adopted the pseudonym "Juan Calle" for the 1961 recording, on which such songs as "Havah Nagllah" and "Bei Mir Bist Du Shein" were given mambo, cha-cha, meringue, pachanga, and samba treatments.
