SUMMARY:Sinne Eeg & Josh Nelson ~ The Art of The Duo ~ SOLD OUT!
DESCRIPTION:This performance is now SOLD OUT! if you’d like to be on our cancellation wait list please send us an email to mail [at] siskiyoumusicproject.com. \nSMP presents welcomes back Danish jazz vocalist Sinne Eeg for her third southern Oregon appearance and first time at the Old Siskiyou Barn. She will be joined by pianist Josh Nelson who some of you may remember from when he performed here with vocalist Sara Gazarek. \nThis concert will conclude our Spring season and will take place on Wednesday\, June 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Old Siskiyou Barn in Ashland.\nSeating is very limited. \n\nDanish jazz vocalist Sinne Eeg (sée-neh/ée) is known throughout the world\, but it all started in a small town called Lemvig in September 1977. Sinne grew up in a jazzy home\, where her father played double bass\, her mother the clarinet and her brother the saxophone. Naturally\, Sinne started singing. She graduated in 2003 from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Esbjerg and then moved to Copenhagen to pursue her career. Her plan obviously worked. After putting in her time for years on the road\, performing at small clubs and cafes\, Sinne won her first Danish Music Award for her album “Waiting For Dawn” in 2007. Her dark vocals and modern interpretation of Nordic jazz touched audiences all over Europe and Asia. Since then\, Sinne has released several prize-winning albums\, including her solo album “Dreams” from 2018\, recorded in New York City with Scott Colley\, Joey Baron\, Larry Koonse and Jacob Christoffersen. In early 2020 Sinne released one of her biggest projects ever: “We’ve Just Begun”\, a winning collaboration with the 19-piece Danish Radio Big Band and her 9th album overall. The record was produced by André Fischer (Diane Schuur\, Nina Simone\, Natalie Cole) and mixed at the acclaimed Capitol Studios in Los Angeles by the legendary Al Schmitt (Frank Sinatra\, Miles Davis\, Ray Charles). The album has received countless international rave reviews\, hovered high for many weeks on the American JazzWeek Top 50 chart\, and continues to enjoy frequent airplay in all radio markets. Sinne has many loyal fans in the US\, Scandinavia and Asia\, especially China and Japan. She is poised for a major breakthrough in the US\, where she regularly tours. She has performed with American jazz icons including Larry Goldings\, Peter Erskine and Ken Peplowski; and at storied jazz clubs including Green Mill in Chicago and Birdland in New York. The Danish songstress is versatile\, equally comfortable fronting big orchestras in concert halls as well as smaller ensembles in intimate jazz clubs. Everywhere she sings – Tokyo\, Copenhagen\, Los Angeles or Madrid – audiences are mesmerized by her incandescent phrasing and scatting\, all with natural\, perfect pitch. Sinne Eeg is not only a brilliant vocalist; she is also a great songwriter. Her talent for writing and composing won the prestigious Danish Carl Prize 2018 for Song Of The Year\, “Aleppo”\, included on her album “Dreams”. Sinne has received numerous accolades\, including four Danish Music Awards\, the Danish Radio P2 Jazz Prize\, the Ben Webster Prize\, the French Prix Du Jazz and Queen Ingrid’s Honorary Grant\, personally awarded by Queen Margrethe of Denmark.

SUMMARY:HARVEY WAINAPEL QUARTET
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Matt Sazima – piano Garrett Baxter – bass\, Alan Jones – drums Harvey Wainapel – saxes \nOriginal compositions; fresh arrangements of standards; songs that ought to be standards; plus some Brazilian spice! \nSiskiyou Music Project welcomes back Bay Area saxophonist Harvey Wainapel. Harvey will be performing with a great rhythm section featuring Portlands Matt Sazima on piano\, Alan Jones on drums and Ashland’s own (now a Portland resident) Garret Baxter for an evening of straight ahead jazz and Brazilian music. \nPlease note this will be a matinee performance and will start at 4 p.m. \n“Wainapel proves that he is amongst the most imaginative\, sensitive and creative saxophonists of the post-Coltrane era…” ––The San Francisco Examiner \n“Wainapel displayed incredible intimacy with the language of Brazilian music and great stage presence…” ––O Globo (Rio de Janeiro) \nCan a man serve two masters? \nIf the cat in question is Bay Area reed expert Harvey Wainapel\, and the disciplines are jazz and Brazilian music\, the answer is a resounding yes. A supremely eloquent clarinetist and a saxophonist of unusual presence and power\, Wainapel is a truly ambidextrous artist who has delved deeply into two vast and variegated traditions. Of course\, musical currents have ebbed and flowed between the two continental nations for much of the past century\, and Wainapel is fully at home at the confluence of those influences (he’s toured widely with Brazilian jazz giants Airto Moreira and Flora Purim). But most of the time he’s got his feet firmly planted in one country or the other\, even if his experience in the south shapes his work as an improviser. “The Brazilian side injects a lot of emotion into my playing\, and it opened up my concept of melody and harmony\,” Wainapel says. \n​Wainapel (pronounced wine-apple) got his start as a jazz musician\, and over the past three decades he’s performed with masters such as pianists Kenny Barron and McCoy Tyner\, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson\, drummer Billy Hart\, and fellow reed expert Joe Lovano. He made his recording debut as a leader with 1994’s At Home/On the Road (JazzMission Records)\, a critically hailed post-bop session exploring compositions by the likes of Woody Shaw\, Sam Rivers\, and Wayne Shorter. Wainapel followed up two years later with Ambrosia: The Music of Kenny Barron (A Records)\, featuring a suite of Barron’s tunes arranged by Jeff Beal for the Metropole Orchestra and a set of Barron’s Brazilian-inspired music for a sextet with Marcos Silva on keyboards. Kenny Barron himself was on hand for piano duties on Wainapel’s acclaimed 1998 straight-ahead quintet session The Hang (Spirit Nectar/JazzMission)\, which also features drummer Kenny Wollesen and the brothers Phil and Larry Grenadier on trumpet and bass\, respectively. \nWainapel’s first full recording of Brazilian music was 2004’s New Choros of Brazil (Acoustic Music Records/Proteus Entertainment)\, a gorgeous duo collaboration with legendary Brazilian guitarist Paulo Bellinati. Rather than focusing on Brazilian standards\, they assembled a program of previously unrecorded choros by masters like Sergio Assad\, Guinga\, Sergio Santos\, and Dori Caymmi. “I’m really proud of it\,” says Wainapel\, who plays clarinet exclusively on the album. “That project gave me a lot of confidence.” \n​His two most recent recordings\, Amigos Brasileiros and Amigos Brasileiros Vol. 2\, are part of Wainapel’s ongoing process documenting his passion for contemporary Brazilian music. Recorded with a superlative cast of Brazilian instrumentalists he’s befriended during his many travels around the country\, the albums include several tunes written specifically for the project. In many ways Amigos Brasileiros serves as a savvy on-the-ground survey of the contemporary Brazilian scene\, a thoughtfully curated guide to musicians; musicians in a nation bound together by sound.

SUMMARY:Steve Smith and Vital Information 2023 SOLD OUT!
DESCRIPTION:This performance is now SOLD OUT! if you’d like to be on our cancellation wait list please send us an email to mail [at] siskiyoumusicproject.com. \nPlease check out our other Spring Concerts! \nSiskiyou Music Project kicks off it’s 23rd concert series with Steve Smith and Vital Information Featuring Manuel Valera (keyboards) Janek Gwizdala (bass) Steve Smith (drums). Drummer Steve Smith has been touring and recording with his all-star group Vital Information since 1983 making 2023 the 40th Anniversary of the group. \nSteve Smith and Vital Information celebrate the occasion with a newly recorded double CD release entitled TIME FLIES. The newest line-up of Vital Information features virtuoso musicians with vast experience. \nKeyboardist Manuel Valera\, a Guggenheim Fellow and Grammy nominated artist\, was born\, and raised in Havana\, Cuba and is now living in NYC. Manuel plays and records with many of the New York jazz elite like Antonio Sanchez\, Dafnis Prieto and John Patitucci. \nElectric Bassist Janek Gwizdala\, originally from London\, currently living in Los Angeles\, records and tours with Peter Erskine\, Mike Stern and Randy Brecker and is one of the most in-demand bass players in the world. Both new members of Vital Information are bandleaders and recording artists with multiple recordings to their names. \nThe new trio version of Steve Smith and Vital Information collectively creates a powerhouse sound. Although the band is rooted in the straight-ahead swing of bebop\, at times the group explores exotic time-signatures from the world of South Indian Carnatic music and have arranged adventurous funk-driven renditions of jazz standards. Seeing Steve Smith and Vital Information live in concert is a perfect opportunity to experience their high-level musicianship\, sense of joy onstage and collective virtuosic improvisation. \nSteve Smith had this to say about Vital Information’s philosophy: \n“Our music allows for individual expression and re-invention. We thrive on swing\, groove and creativity. We want to surprise each other every night on the bandstand with new ideas and in the process keep our audience ‘in the moment’ with us.” \nWounded Bird Records has recently released Steve Smith and Vital Information: The Complete Columbia Recordings\, a four CD set combining the first four Vital Information albums into one package. In addition to leading Vital information\, from 2016-2019 Steve Smith toured with the iconic rock band Journey\, the group in which he recorded nine albums with massive hits. In 2018 alone\, Journey played for over 1\,000\,000 fans in arenas and stadiums across North America. Smith has won numerous Modern Drummer Readers Polls and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. \nTo check out a video of this amazing group visit \n\nwww.vitalinformation.com  www.manuelvalera.com  https://janekgwizdala.com
