Some of the songs are biographical\, some are issues-based and many touch on the theme of love in a raw and wise way. Whatever the subject\, Czarnik’s tracks are all verbally and musically smart. She has clear diction and there’s a musicality to the way she raps — her speaking is very much like singing. The sonic palette is very broad. I loved the use of a garbled-up Delibes “Flower Duet” in the song “Been this Way” and there are some gorgeous\, tripping saxophone solos in “Canned Nutrition.” This girl is going all the way.” – Chloe Veltman\, VoiceBox\, KALW 91.7FM \n“Czarnik is a soulful\, fluid rapper\, backed by the five-piece Eric Mire Band.

SUMMARY:Tito y su Son de Cuba Quinteto: Celebration la Noche Buena en Havana Vieja
DESCRIPTION:Heriberto “Tito” Gonzalez\, “El Trecero mayor”\, arrived in the San Francisco Bay area in the summer of 2000. His music is typical and primarily “El Son”. Now\, with a new life in San Francisco and the songwriter’s freedom to experiment and story-telling\, Tito\, a consummate master of Cuban traditional music\, brings a fresh sound to a lifetime of experience. \nTito Gonzales spent his young life picking up guitar licks around the rim of the sea thanks to a Cuban-run company that sent fisherman like him far and wide to find the catch. The open water swept him into the urban narrows\, and\, back on dry land\, he traded up for the sound of the tres (small Cuban guitar) and the Cuban son\, yet his talent only led him to ordinary labor. Fate had in store for him a different destiny -a rapid ascendence from cabbie to celebrity and a star of the Cuban music scene. \nTito Gonzalez: lead singer\, tres guitar\, percussion\nMiguel Martinez: flute and percussion\nDavid Fraizer: congas\nAntonio Garcia: bass\nMario Artino: piano \nwww.titoysusondecuba.com\nwww.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm8VgYkcaSc \n$15-$18 admission.

DESCRIPTION:An Evening Of Original And Improvised Music\, And Reinterpretation Of American Rock Music \nErick Deutsch\, John Shifflett\, and Scott Amendola have been playing as a trio on and\noff for a few years now.

SUMMARY:Marcus Shelby Trio Featuring Ed Reed: Nat King Cole\, Blues\, Ballads and Swing
DESCRIPTION:The Marcus Shelby Trio was founded in 1997 and performs regularly in the San Francisco Bay Area\, including national and international festivals.  The trio consists of Marcus Shelby (bass)\, Adam Shulman (piano) and Jeff Marrs (drums).  The MST performs original compositions\, re-arranged Standards\, Spirituals\, Rhythm and Blues\, and Pop music—all with a progressive influence of Swing\, Ballads\, and Blues.  The MST has released 2 CDs (“Un Faux Pas”\, “The Sophisticate”)\, and serves as the rhythm section for the Marcus Shelby Orchestra\, which has released 4 CDs\, including their last recording on Porto Franco Records Soul of the Movement.  Tonight’s program will feature the dynamic vocalist Ed Reed who has made the Downbeat Critics Rising Star poll (2008\, 2009\, and 2011)\, and also a selection of original and standard compositions by Marcus Shelby. Ed Reed has several CDs out and tours and performs locally regularly. \nEd Reed: “Growing up in Watts\, California in the 1930s and 40´s provided a rare musical learning environment. I was in high school talent shows with “Little Esther” Phillips and Bobby Nunn of the Coasters. I learned to sing chord changes from the man who would become jazz master Charles Mingus while he was minding his sister´s kids across the street from my house.  Alienated by teachers who wanted me to go to shoe shop when I wanted to study debate\, I left high school before graduation and joined the Army where I became addicted to heroin.  I served four stints in San Quentin and Folsom prisons on drug-related charges. I think\, partly due to my love of jazz\, I was able to survive those ordeals. In two of my incarcerations\, I was a featured singer in the warden´s show performing with an inmate big band with Art Pepper soloing on all of my tunes. When I wasn´t doing time\, I did many “open mikes” with jazz greats like Wardell Gray\, Art Farmer\, Hampton Hawes\, Dexter Gordon\, and others.” \nEd Reed: vocals\nAdam Shulman: piano\nMarcus Shelby: bass\nJeff Marrs: drums \nwww.marcusshelby.com\nhttp://edreedsings.com/index.htm\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrSBoArCUJ0\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gIK666kgUk&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJyJbFyngLE\nhttp://edreedsings.com/index.htm \n$15-20 admission.

SUMMARY:Boca do Rio: Brazilelectro Acoustic Madness
DESCRIPTION:Boca do Rio duo\, Kevin Welch and Alex Calatayud\, explore the band’s new EP\, The Dam is Breaking. These tracks present new beats and old traditions in an eclectic mix of organic songs and sounds. The lyrics are sung in both English and Portuguese and topically range from love in the time of climate change to a young prodigy growing up in the Favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro. The musicians have lived these songs in live performances throughout the Bay Area and the sound is translated into a deep understanding of the harmonies and rhythms of daily life in Brazil. The songs are profoundly respectful of past traditions but are clearly syncretic and forward-looking\, heralding the arrival of an organic blend of lives lived between the Americas\, where Electronica meets the skin of the drum and all the saints dance! \nKevin Welch: guitar\, vocals\nAlex Calatayud: percussion \n“Boca do Rio\, an Afro-Brazilian World music group from Northern California\, delivers a unique blend of pop hooks\, pleasing vocal harmonies\, funky rhythms\, and African percussion with contemporary beats on their EP The Dam is Breaking. The result is joyously melodic and uplifting\, with the contemporary accessibility of the Rippingtons and the depth of Stan Getz’s “The Girl from Ipanema” and the Brazilian bossa nova from years past. Boca do Rio (Portuguese for “mouth of the river”) strikes the perfect balance between delicate smoothness and energetic edginess\, resulting in vibrant\, vast landscapes of sound. Rooted in distinct instruments that seem both timeless and yet also grounded in the here and now\, The Dam is Breaking is full of energy\, passion\, vitality and life. Possessing an urgent environmental message\, every song is impeccably written\, arranged and performed\, resulting in an EP that is superbly crafted and expertly produced.” -Brian Farish Radio \nwww.bocadorio.com \n$10-$15 admission. Cash only.\nDoors open at 7:30 pm. Show at 8:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Prasant Radhakrishnan's VidyA: South Indian Classical Meets Jazz
DESCRIPTION:VidyA merges Jazz with the melodic and rhythmic nuance of South Indian Classical (Carnatic) music. Led by critically-acclaimed saxophonist\, Prasant Radhakrishnan along with David Ewell (bass)\, Sameer Gupta (drums) – Hamir Atwal performs as guest drummer at this performance. VidyA has emerged with a soulful\, penetrating sound that pushes the labels of “fusion” or “world music.” \nThese artists have an almost telepathic interplay\, incorporating the forward motion of both Indian Classical and Jazz rhythms while elaborating Carnatic ragas infused with melodic richness. The group weaves in and out of the two genres while all the time merging them into one. VidyA translates the language of Carnatic music into the idiom of Jazz. \nVidyA has been featured at venues such as SFJazz\, San Jose Jazz\, Yoshi’s\, Asian American Film Festival\, Recontraire Internationale in France and more. Radhakrishnan’s original compositions for VidyA have been commissioned by the De Young Museum via the Jazz at Intersection series and awarded the Zellerbach Family Fund grant among others in 2010. VidyA will release their second studio album of original compositions later this year. \nPrasant Radhakrishnan: Saxophone\nDavid Ewell: Bass\nDrums: TBA \n“…Pioneering trans-cultural terrain.” – San Francisco Chronicle \n“VidyA’s music breathes at the very center of a cultural crossroads between the North American jazz idiom and the Carnatic music of South India. VidyA’s music is a new vein of North American music… present tense\, present location\, new culture in the making.” – Todd Brown\, Red Poppy Art House \n“…when these patterns are played on saxophone\, violin\, string bass\, and jazz drums\, there is a build-up of emotional energy and intellectual complexity which seems to recreate the energy that was present at the birth of bebop in 1940s New York. In fact\, if Charlie Parker or Dizzie Gillespie had heard VidyA at that time\, I think it would have never have occurred to them that VidyA’s music was Indian. They would simply have wondered where these cats had found a sound that was so mercilessly free of the standard melodic and rhythmic clichés.” – Teed Rockwell\, India Currents \n“A style that’s madly percussive and sparkling… combines jazz’s sweet dreaminess with the Indian form’s insistent rhythmic and tonal changes.” – SF Weekly \n“Imagine ragas and American blues folded into a single moment. It’s a fusion of Indian classical and jazz\, and the leader\, Prasant Radhakrishnan\, 24\, points the way for a number of Bay Area improvisers.” – San Francisco Chronicle\, “Year in Jazz” (January 2007). \nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hv9eW47W4A\nhttp://vidyamusic.com\n http://prasantmusic.com\nhttp://music.prasantmusic.com/album/vidya \n$15 admission.  Cash only.\nDoors at 7:30 pm.  Show at 8:00 pm.

SUMMARY:THE DARREN JOHNSTON QUINTET: CD Release Concert For "The Big Lift"
DESCRIPTION:Darren Johnston has been a ubiquitous creative force on the Bay Area music scene for over a decade now\, as a composer\, trumpeter\, and a bandleader.  As a sideman he currently performs with Meklit Hadero (Ethiopian-born singer-songwriter)\, Brass Menazeri (Balkan brass band)\, Cylinder (avant-jazz)\, The Marcus Shelby Orchestra (big band jazz)\, and others.  All of these seemingly disparate approaches to making music lend insight into his work\, which lies somewhere in between genres\, remaining unique\, and difficult to pin down\, but a lot of fun.  As a leader\, he focuses on the Nice Guy Trio\, who has a new release on Porto Franco Records featuring the trio with a string quartet\, and the Darren Johnston Quintet.  The first Darren Johnston Quintet recording\, “The Edge Of The Forest” on Clean Feed Records\, received much critical praise including four stars by four very different writers in Down Beat Magazine’s “Hot Box.” Tonight’s concert will be the West Coast CD release of “The Big Lift\,” on Porto Franco Records\, featuring Darren’s Chicago version of this quintet.  Selections from the new recording will be played\, plus some newer original works\, and reconstructions of folk music from Bulgaria\, Egypt\, and Scotland. \n“Three old horns find unexpectedly eccentric new voices in this soft-spoken mischief.  There is an acerbic charm and emotional detachment at work that is cool\, consistent\, smartly calculated and positioned just so between straight jazz (“Apples”) and uneasy awkwardness.  The ensembles often have a lovely quirky elegance.  Worth the risk.” – John McDonough\, Downbeat Magazine \n“Someone to watch\, on trumpet of course\, but as a composer and bandleader as well.”\n– John Corbett\, Downbeat Magazine \n Darren Johnston – trumpet\nBen Goldberg – clarinet\nSheldon Brown – bass clarinet\, tenor sax\nDavid Ewell – bass\nHamir Atwal – drums \nhttp://darrenjohnstonmusic.com/

My group doesn’t have a traditional Fado configuration\, so we’ve had to evolve.” \n Vieira also received the honor of being invited to Macau\, China to headline the huge “Encontro Festival\,” where she wowed the audience during closing ceremonies and was chosen to appear on the front cover of the Macau Journal. Moreover\, she shared the stage with Grammy nominated Fadista Mariza; performing her original song “Unido Para Amar” for the 2006 Winter Olympics video montage.
