SUMMARY:Dmitri Matheny Group featuring Holly Pyle
DESCRIPTION:THE BRAZIL PROJECT\nBossa Nova & Beyond\nSiskiyou Music Project welcomes back Dmitri Matheny with special guest vocalist Holly Pyle for a performance on Friday\, October 25 at at Grizzly Peak Winery in Ashland. They will be joined by Garret Baxter on bass\, Theresa McCoy on drums and Ed Dunsavage on guitar. \nJoin us for a musical journey to Brazil\, as Holly\, Dmitri\, and their all-star band put a fresh spin on jazz samba\, bossa nova\, and beyond! \nIn the early 1960s Brazil ignited a global musical revolution by exporting a new kind of jazz-infused music. Blending subtle\, caressing melodies with intoxicating syncopated rhythms\, the sound was called BOSSA NOVA (Portuguese for “new trend”). When Antônio Carlos Jobim’s “The Girl From Ipanema” (recorded by Stan Getz\, Astrud Gilberto and João Gilberto) won the Grammy in 1965\, the new trend became a worldwide phenomenon. \nKnown for her “soulfully graceful\, liquid-like voice” (Phoenix New Times)\, Los Angeles vocalist HOLLY PYLE started out as an opera major before studying jazz and psychology. Now one of the most popular vocalists in the west\, Holly performs with leading jazz groups and appears regularly as a solo a-cappella act using electronic looping to build masterful sonic creations. \nFlugelhornist DMITRI MATHENY has been lauded as “one of the most emotionally expressive improvisers of his generation” (International Review of Music). An honors graduate of Berklee College of Music\, Dmitri Matheny vaulted onto the jazz scene in the 1990s as the protégé of jazz legend Art Farmer. Since then he has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal international following\, releasing twelve CDs and touring extensively throughout the United States\, Europe and Asia.The San Francisco Chronicle calls Matheny “one of the jazz world’s most talented horn players.” \nFor a decade Dmitri and Holly have toured the western states\, delighting audiences with their creative collaborations. Popular programs include The SnowCat\, an original theatrical production for kids and families\, Jazz From The Silver Screen\, and deep dives into the songbooks of Burt Bacharach\, Joni Mitchell\, and Stevie Wonder. \nAccording to All About Jazz\, the Dmitri Matheny Group is “an all-star jazz band featuring some of the most accomplished musicians in the western United States.”

SUMMARY:Roni Ben-Hur Trio
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Sylvia Cuenca and Essiet Essiet\nSiskiyou Music Project welcomes for his first southern Oregon performance\, guitarist Roni Ben-Hur with drummer Sylvia Cuenca and bassist Essiet Essiet on Sunday\, September 22 at 4 p.m. at Grizzly Peak Winery in Ashland. \nJazz guitarist Roni Ben-Hur has earned a sterling reputation as a musician and educator\, renowned for his golden tone\, improvisational brilliance\, compositional lyricism and ability to charm peers\, students and listeners alike. Eminent jazz critic Gary Giddins wrote in the Village Voice: “A limber and inventive guitarist\, Ben-Hur keeps the flame alive and pure\, burning in every note… He’s a guitarist who knows the changes and his own mind.” Roni – born in Israel in 1962 but a longtime American citizen\, based in the New York City area – has recorded a dozen-plus albums as leader or co-leader\, with The New York Times praising his “crisp\, fluid style” and Time Out New York calling him “a formidable and consummately lyrical guitarist.” He has developed a rare facility in both straight-ahead jazz and samba/bossa-nova styles\, underscored by his work with masters in each field\, from bebop piano sage Barry Harris to beloved Brazilian vocalist Leny Andrade. \nRoni’s newest album as a leader is Stories\, released by Dot Time Records in March 2021; its poetic mix of songs and instrumentals sees the guitarist drawing a line from childhood musical memories in Israel to his life today as a globally minded artist. JazzTimes\, in its glowing review of Stories\, noted the guitarist’s inspired interplay with such diverse talents as pianist George Cables and trumpeter Ingrid Jensen\, as well as vocalists from Israel and Mexico; the review went on to laud Roni and company’s brand of storytelling as “distinctive” and “uniformly engaging.” Always an educator as well as a performer\, Roni has directed the jazz program at New York’s Kaufman Music Center for more than 25 years. Along with creating acclaimed educational products – such as the method book Talk Jazz: Guitar – Roni has also directed international music camps for two decades\, currently leading his Roni Ben-Hur Jazz Camp in Vermont and France. Jazz guitar star Russell Malone got it right when he said: “Everything Roni does is beautiful. He has the magic touch.” \nIf you’d like to hear Roni\, please click here https://www.youtube.com/@RoniBenHurJazz \nSylvia Cuenca is an active drummer on the New York and SF Bay Area jazz scenes who is contributing outstanding performances in a variety of situations. She has had the honor of sharing the bandstand with saxophone legend Joe Henderson for 4 years and trumpet legend Clark Terry for 17 years. The Joe Henderson quartet toured frequently in European countries Norway\, Denmark\, Sweden\, Austria\, Belgium\, England\, Switzerland\, France\, Italy and Germany and venues across the U.S. In a trio setting she performed with Joe Henderson and Charlie Haden in 1989 and with George Mraz in 1994. She performed with the Clark Terry Quintet and Big Band at Village Vanguard\, Birdland\, Blue Note\, Queen Elizabeth 2\, Royal Viking\, S.S. Norway jazz cruises and clubs\, concerts and festivals in the U.S\, Europe\, the Caribbean and South America. While working with the Clark Terry quintet she had the opportunity to perform with guest artists Al Grey\, Red Holloway\, Jimmy Heath\, Frank Wess\, Marian McPartland\, Dianne Reeves\, Joe Williams and Lou Donaldson to name a few. To learn more about Sylvia visit her website here. \nEssiet Okon Essiet first received critical acclaim more than a decade ago as a member of saxophonist Bobby Watson’s post hard bop group Horizon He has long since established himself as one of New York’s premier bassist. Born in Omaha\, Nebraska\, his parents having moved there from Nigeria\, West Africa\, the family later moved to Wisconsin where Essiet began his musical studies at age 10 on the violin. Four years\, later he switched to the bass. As a child\, and into his teens\, his family moved often. His father worked for the US\, as well as the Nigerian government\, and his job took the family to many places including Europe\, Africa and various cities in the US. His family finally settled in Portland\, Oregon where he began studying jazz at the age of 14. Having traveled widely as a youngster with his family\, he had an easy time adjusting to life on the road once he turned professional. More importantly\, his early exposure to many cultures\, languages\, folkways and religions\, fostered his world view of strength through diversity. “Some musicians are purist” says Essiet\, “but I like to mix styles. I like many different types of cultures.” To learn more about Essiet visit his website here.

SUMMARY:Bruce Forman
DESCRIPTION:The Red Guitar\nSOLD OUT!     \nEmail us to be on the cancellation list.  mail@siskiyoumusicproject.com \nSiskiyou Music Project kicks off its Summer/Fall concert series with a performance by guitarist Bruce Forman at the Old Siskiyou Barn in Ashland. \nImagine receiving an invitation to a gala featuring John Coltrane\, Sigmund Freud\, and Faust. Bruce Forman’s “The Red Guitar” is all that and more. It draws on Forman’s decades of experience as a formidable jazz guitarist and his considerable skill as a storyteller and teacher\, producing a work that is greater than the sum of its dazzling parts. \n​A story in and about jazz\, The Red Guitar showcases Bruce Forman’s genre—breaking inventiveness and his ability to improvise and create within a classical form. Enlisting the full power of the jazz idiom and integrating it with seasoned and provocative story-telling\, he confronts the dilemma of artistic obsession face-to-face—by creating a work of art that simultaneously explores and demonstrates the hold that music has over its most ardent followers\, the hold that poses itself as a life-or-death\, must-be-solved-question to Forman and his ilk: “The Red Guitar. Do you play it…or does it play you? \nDeep immersion in American culture inspires Forman to contribute to the traditions that he draws from. Reunion! (the newest project) revisits the famed Poll Winners sessions with cohorts John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton\, playing instruments owned by Barney Kessel\, Ray Brown and Shelly Manne; Formanism (his trio project); original works like The Red Guitar; his high-rated podcast\, GuitarWank; Cow Bop and the “road challenges” down historic byways like Route 66; JazzMasters Workshop; Junkyard Duo; GrumpsTV (a fifty episode YouTube variety show during the lockdown)\, the popular ‘first chorus of the day’ series on Instagram…these are only the latest answers to the endless question that underlies Bruce Forman’s creativity. His music and life reflect every step of his journey\, and demonstrate the awareness of an artist who’s very much at home in the world\, and at the top of his form. \nFor more information please visit Bruces website at https://www.bruceforman.com/the-red-guitar
