DESCRIPTION:Old Fashioned Gal\nThis performance is now sold out. If you’d like to be on a wait list for cancellations\, please send us an email. \nSiskiyou Music Project closes it’s Fall/Winter Series with a performance by New York based singer-songwriter Kat Edmonson on Friday\, February 28 at the Artistic Piano Gallery in Medford. Her latest recording is called Old Fashioned Gal\, an album that really couldn’t be called anything else. \nRich in affection for the past but bracingly alive in the present\, the 11 original songs on Old Fashioned Gal tell a story––actually\, a classic Hollywood “movie” that took shape in Edmonson’s imagination as she began to write them. These songs have all the feeling and the craft\, even the entertaining bounce\, of the Great American Songbook\, from Irving Berlin to Joni Mitchell but they are unmistakably Kat Edmonson’s songs\, taking the full measure of her own voice\, literally and figuratively. The inimitable voice in which she sings is a musical prism\, crystalline and precise\, refracting and transforming what shines through it. The voice in which she writes is clear\, intensely aware and to the point––an “old fashioned gal” in the here and now. \nEdmonson describes her process\, “The main ingredients I used to make this record were piano\, bass\, guitar\, and drums; however\, there is a 13-piece string orchestra on the album as well as background vocals\, horns\, woodwind instruments\, vibes and other percussion\, organ\, celesta\, harp\, ukulele…even a saw! I was trying to achieve the lushness of an MGM musical. In “Canoe\,” my lyrics talk about mosquitos and katydids around a lake so\, for that song\, I went outside one evening and recorded the ambient sounds of insects and frogs. THAT was really fun!” \nIn little more than a decade\, Kat Edmonson has emerged as one of the most distinctive performers in contemporary American music. The Texas native forged her sound performing in small rooms and clubs\, then touring worldwide and performing with the likes of Lyle Lovett\, Chris Isaak\, Jamie Cullum and Gary Clark Jr. Her three previous albums revealed a singer discovering\, in her own songs\, a repertoire only she could imagine. A critic for the Boston Globe called Way Down Low\, her second album\, “one of the greatest vocal albums I’ve ever heard.” Her third\, The Big Picture\, took greater advantage of her songwriting abilities. The Austin Chronicle’s critic noted she “employs lessons gleaned from the Great American Songbook while creating an aura unmistakably her own\,” adding that the songs emerge “fresh and dewy … Edmonson’s voice swells and dips and weaves with effortless precision\, arresting without belting.

A fitting description of Joshua Breakstone’s jazz guitar\,” wrote Paul Weidman in The Sante Fe New Mexican. “His flowing lines on up-tempo cookers are impeccably clean and fiery\, bearing the mark of a first-rate improviser\, while his chordal work on heartbreaker ballads is the final word in finesse\,” has raved Guitar Player magazine.

Downbeat also has written that “There is no shortage of young\, knock-out jazz guitarists about us these days. And Joshua Breakstone is among the best of them.” \nJoshua has performed and recorded with many of the jazz greats including Pepper Adams\, Kenny Barron\, Dennis Irwin\, Keith Copeland\, Jimmy Knepper\, Tommy Flanagan\, Dave Shapiro and Kenny Washington. \nHis newest recording is entitled “Children of Art” a tribute to Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. \n“His ­flowing lines on up tempo cookers are impeccably clean and fiery\, bearing the mark of a first-rate improviser\, while his chordal work on heartbreaker ballads is the final word in finesse.” Guitar Player Magazine URL:https://www.siskiyoumusicproject.com/event/jazz-guitar-great-joshua-breakstone/ LOCATION:Paschal Winery\, 1122 Suncrest Road\, Talent\, OR\, 97540\, United States CATEGORIES:2019 Fall Winter Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.siskiyoumusicproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Joshua-Breakstone.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191010T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20191010T190000 DTSTAMP:20190824T140838Z CREATED:20190824T134446Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190824T140838Z UID:1900-1570734000-1570734000@www.siskiyoumusicproject.com SUMMARY:Dmitri Matheny Group DESCRIPTION:The Return of West Coast Cool\nSMP welcomes back one of our favorite musicians and educators\, flugelhorn master Dmitri Matheny.

This will be their second performance at the Old Siskiyou Barn and they will be exploring music from the Great American Songbook\, featuring the music of composers such as George Gershwin\, Victor Young\, Bill Evans and Miles Davis. \nPatti began her career as a concert pianist\, but after hearing Oscar Peterson performing\, decided that jazz was the music she wanted to play. She worked with legendary bassist Scott LaFaro before he began working with pianist Bill Evans. She also performed with Mel Tormé\, Oscar Pettiford\, and the Terry Gibbs Dream Band from 1959 through 1961. One of the highlights of her career was playing at the Hickory House in New York City. ”It was pretty amazing to be playing to an audience consisting of many jazz greats like Miles Davis\, Gil Evans\, Erroll Garner\, Cannonball Adderley (he always called me ‘Miss Moran’}—and anyone who was anybody was playing in the city at that time.” \nThis is a very rare opportunity to hear Patti McCoy in such an intimate setting as the Old Siskiyou Barn on the 9 foot Mason & Hamlin Grand Piano.

Stan Getz was the featured soloist and the tracks were arranged by Charlie Byrd\, who had first heard Bossa Nova during a tour of Brazil in 1961. \nGetz and Byrd were accompanied by bassists Keter Betts and Joe Byrd\, Charlie Byrd’s brother who also played guitar. They were joined by two drummers: Buddy Deppenschmidt and Bill Reichenbach. The album was recorded at All Souls Unitarian Church in Washington\, D.C. on February 13\, 1962 and released in April of that year. \nTwo songs\, “Desafinado” (Off Key or Out of Tune) and “Samba de Uma Nota Só” (One Note Samba) were composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim and were released as singles in the U.S. and Europe. Charlie Byrd wrote one song\, and the rest were by Brazilian composers. \nStan Getz won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Performance of 1963 for “Desafinado”\, and went on to make many other Bossa Nova recordings\, notably with João Gilberto and Astrud Gilberto and the popular song “The Girl from Ipanema”. \nThis tribute will feature saxophonist Bob Rawlings along with Ed Dunsavage on guitar\, Joe Cohoon on bass and Chicken Hirsh on drums in the intimate setting of the Old Siskiyou Barn in the hills just outside of Ashland.

But she doesn’t need to plug in to seize and hold an audience’s attention. While she’s best known for wielding her namesake Heritage Guitar Mimi Fox Signature model arch-top\, spinning solos that unfurl with surprise twists like expertly tailored short stories\, Fox is equally spellbinding on six and 12-string acoustic guitars. \nRecently signed by Taylor Guitars as an endorsing “partner\,” Fox has increasingly returned to her acoustic roots\, delivering her wildly imaginative reinterpretations of standards\, folk songs\, pop hits and R&B anthems. She gave a taste of her ravishing 12-string work on a gorgeous arrangement of George Harrison’s “Within You Without You” from May I Introduce to You (Ridgeway Records)\, the San Francisco String Trio’s acclaimed 2017 album celebrating the 50th anniversary of Beatles masterpiece Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Her acoustic prowess has earned standing ovations at major festivals around the world\, from the Kennedy Center and the Newport Folk Festival to the Montreal International Jazz Festival\, where her solo set earned three encores. \nHer love of the acoustic guitar and insistence on exploring disparate material was evident from the beginning of her recording career some three decades ago. Her 1985 award-winning debut release Against the Grain (Catero Records) featured a captivating Joni Mitchell medley of “Blue\,” “All I Want\,” and “Woodstock.” A decade later her 1995 album Turtle Logic (Monarch Records) included another gorgeous acoustic medley weaving together Holly Near’s “Hay Una Mujer\,” the spiritual “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child\,” and Earth Wind and Fire’s “Shining Star.” \nAs Fox turned her attention to recording solo sessions in recent years she kept acoustic tracks firmly in the mix. She offered a particularly memorable window into her wide-open sensibility on 2013’s Standards Old & New (Origin Records)\, a masterly and typically far-ranging solo session that included acoustic versions of Lennon and McCartney’s “She’s Leaving Home\,” Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land\,” and Michael Jackson’s “She’s Out of My Life.” \nIn many ways Fox’s commitment to acoustic guitar reflects her earliest sources of inspiration. As a young teen\, she was first inspired to pick up the acoustic guitar by emerging singer/songwriters Joni Mitchell\, James Taylor\, Paul Simon\, and John Sebastian (a fellow Heritage Guitar endorser with whom she went on to play). During this time\, Mimi also heard the great guitarist/lutist Julian Bream in concert which inspired her to study classical guitar for several years. This study influenced her own composing and deepened her musicality even before she found her way to jazz. \n\n\n \n\n\nMimi Fox ~ Solo Acoustic\n\n\nGeneral $25.00 USDMembers $20.00 USDStudent with I.D $10.00 USD URL:https://www.siskiyoumusicproject.com/event/mimi-fox-solo-acoustic/ LOCATION:Paschal Winery\, 1122 Suncrest Road\, Talent\, OR\, 97540\, United States CATEGORIES:2019 Winter Spring Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.siskiyoumusicproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mimi-Fox.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Siskiyou Music Project":MAILTO:mail@siskiyoumusicproject.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190428T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190428T190000 DTSTAMP:20190402T234952Z CREATED:20181230T222134Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190402T234952Z UID:1719-1556478000-1556478000@www.siskiyoumusicproject.com SUMMARY:Jennifer Scott/Rene Worst - SOLD OUT!

She has sung with such Jazz Greats as: Gene Bertoncini\, Clark Terry\, Tommy Banks\, Paul Horn and Kenny Wheeler to name a few. She has been nominated for Juno and Jessie Awards with ‘Mythos’ and theatre production ‘War of the Worlds.’ \nJennifer Scott has performed to sold out crowds from San Diego to Vancouver to Whitehorse on the West Coast of Canada and has begun a major foray onto the world stage including performances in Amsterdam\, Milan and Rome. \nRecent lauded performances have included Main Stage shows at the 2009 Vancouver Island Music Fest sharing the stage with artists as diverse as Jane Bunnett and Jerry Douglas. She received a lengthy standing ovation reception for her duo set with bassist Rene Worst at the same festival. \nJennifer was also featured at Stanford University performing at the Miles Davis tribute concert for their Concert series in tandem with The Jazz Museum in Harlem. More recent studio work has seen her align her vocal talents with the piano brilliance of Miles Black in the CD release Storybook. \nBassist Rene Worst has been a professional bassist since 1971. His virtuosic and supportive bass playing has been a Canadian treasure for many years on both acoustic and electric basses. He is as gifted on fretless as he is on acoustic – a rarity in the industry. Rene was educated both in Canada and the US. Rene Worst is one of the founding members of the noted fusion band “Skywalk” and has anchored and produced six recordings with them. He is also a highly regarded Producer. \nBorn in Ifar\, New Guinnea in 1954\, he moved to Canada with his family in 1960\, settling on the West Coast where he grew up and went to school. At an early age he showed an aptitude for music\, in particular jazz bass\, and it wasn’t long before he was out establishing himself as a leading jazz bassist performing with the likes of: Chet Baker\, David Bowie\, Mark Murphy\, Joe Pass\, Herb Ellis\, Freddie Hubbard\, Paul Horn\, Gene Bertoncini\, Bud Shank and many other jazz greats. \nTo read a review by noted L.A. Times Jazz Critic Don Heckman from Jennifer and Rene’s last southern Oregon performance in 2015 click here. \nFrom a recent review by noted Jazz journalist Andy Gilbert (Jazz Times): \n“Scott has set herself apart from the jazz-vocalist pack with her mesmerizing renditions of the most unlikely tunes … With her warm\, flexible contralto\, Scott brings a striking emotional intelligence to everything she sings\, no matter what the context. As much a song stylist as an improviser\, she puts her stamp on material through her supple sense of swing and deft\, slippery phrasing.” URL:https://www.siskiyoumusicproject.com/event/jennifer-scott-rene-worst/ LOCATION:The Old Siskiyou Barn\, (Call for directions)\, Ashland\, OR\, 97520\, United States CATEGORIES:2019 Winter Spring Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.siskiyoumusicproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Jen-rene-e1546228462627.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Siskiyou Music Project":MAILTO:mail@siskiyoumusicproject.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190322T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190322T190000 DTSTAMP:20190311T181322Z CREATED:20181230T221047Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190311T181322Z UID:1715-1553281200-1553281200@www.siskiyoumusicproject.com SUMMARY:Ken Peplowski with the Ed Dunsavage Trio ~ SOLD OUT!

The three musicians were drawn to the idea that their blend of traditions would speak to the true voice of the Americas: a cacophony of cultures that\, together\, forges a new identity that transcends Old World boundaries. \nThe piano\, cello\, and saxophone of this New York-based trio bring the diverse sounds and rhythms of Cuba and the Americas to life in an original brand of new music. With roots in Cuba\, France\, Trinidad\, and the US\, the Trio shifts intuitively among classical\, jazz\, and world music. At the heart of their collaborations are Yosvany Terry’s original works\, which are driven by Afro-Cuban rhythms\, sweeping classical melodies\, and a touch of improvisation. The Trio’s repertoire is rounded out with commissioned works by composers such as Manuel Valera\, Sonia Jacobsen\, Pedro Giraudo\, and Emilio Solla\, and favorites from the classical repertoire\, such as Passacaille from Ravel’s Piano Trio.\n\nThe members of Bohemian Trio are distinguished graduates of Cuba’s Escuela Nacional de Arte\, Juilliard\, Yale University\, and Manhattan School of Music; they have won international competitions and major awards including Grammys; they have collaborated with artists such as Chucho Valdes\, Branford Marsalis\, Joshua Bell\, and Itzhak Perlman\, and perform regularly on five continents in the world’s most renowned halls. \nBohemian Trio released its critically-acclaimed debut album\, Okónkolo\, on Innova Records in February\, 2017. Larry Blumenfeld of The Wall Street Journal writes\, “Together\, these musicians honor heritages that blur more than reinforce borders: the blend of European and African traditions that centuries ago amounted to a New World; and the sweet spot sought by many contemporary composers\, especially in New York\, grounded more in creativity than genre.” \n \n\nThis project received support from the Oregon Arts Commission; WESTAF\, the Western States Arts Federation; and the National Endowment for the Arts. \n\n \n\n\n\nBohemian Trio\n\n\nGeneral $25.00 USDMembers $20.00 USDStudent with I.D $10.00 USD\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UO__96RR9A&t=10s URL:https://www.siskiyoumusicproject.com/event/bohemian-trio-from-new-york/ LOCATION:Artistic Piano Gallery\, 1390 Biddle Rd #107\, Medford\, OR\, 97504\, United States CATEGORIES:2019 Winter Spring Concert Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.siskiyoumusicproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bohemian-laughing-bw_photo-credit-Laura-Razzano.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Siskiyou Music Project and the Britt Festival Education Department":MAILTO:mail@siskiyoumusicproject.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20181019T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20181019T190000 DTSTAMP:20180828T010540Z CREATED:20180826T003253Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180828T010540Z UID:1631-1539975600-1539975600@www.siskiyoumusicproject.com SUMMARY:The Sound of a Dry Martini DESCRIPTION:A Tribute to Paul Desmond & Jim Hall\nBob Rawlings & The Ed Dunsavage Trio\nSiskiyou Music Project presents “The Sound of a Dry Martini”\, a tribute to the music of Paul Desmond and Jim Hall.

DESCRIPTION:Brazilian Rhapsody From Sao Paulo Brazil – SOLD OUT! Email us to get on the cancellation list. The Fall Concert Series will be announced mid August. \nSiskiyou Music Project presents an evening of Brazilian music with pianist Amilton Godoy\, flautist Léa Freire and multi reeds player Harvey Wainapel on Saturday\, August 25 at the Old Siskiyou Barn. \nSão Paulo pianist/composer/arranger AMILTON GODOY founded the iconic Zimbo Trio atage 23. Combining the rhythms of samba and bossa nova with jazz\, this became one of the most influential Brazilian instrumental groups in the second half of the 20th Century\, making 51 recordings and playing in 40 countries over the years. In 1973 he founded the CLAM school of music in São Paulo (Centro Livre de Aprendizagem Musical)\, which has nurtured generations of Brazilian musicians to this day. At age 77\, Godoy is still playing with the energy and enthusiasm of a teenager (a very experienced one)! \nOne of the first students at CLAM was flutist/pianist/composer LÉA FREIRE\, also from São Paulo\, who began her studies there at age 16. Although Amilton was not one of Léa’s teachers there\, the two met when the Zimbo Trio held regular open rehearsals at the school. Over the following years\, Léa has evolved into a major force in creative Brazilian music\, as a performer\, composer\, and producer. In 2011 she invited Amilton to record a solo CD of her compositions\, an invitation he accepted with pleasure. When it came time to release the CD\, Amilton suggested forming a duo\, which went on to record a CD called “A Mil Tons” (2017)\, consisiting of Godoy’s compositions and arrangements. \nThis unique duo has toured throughout Brazil\, Argentina\, and the US\, combining the freedom of popular music and improvisation with the elegance of chamber music\, all performed with that great rhythmical\, lyrical\, and charming Brazilian “accent.” \nIn 2000\, Bay Area saxophonist/clarinetist HARVEY WAINAPEL\, who has toured internationally with Airto Moreira & Flora Purim\, Joe Lovano\, Ray Charles\, and Jovino Santos Neto\, visited Brazil for the first time. He spent two months there researching\, meeting great musicians\, performing and recording\, and has returned every year since then. On his very first night there\, he met Léa Freire\, and a deep friendship developed over the years. Although many informal musical encounters followed\, it was the Duo’s first visit to California in 2017 that resulted in this three-way collaboration\, with Bay Area performances followed by a two week tour of the Pacific Northwest.
