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/

SUMMARY:RAMANA VIEIRA & ENSEMBLE: The New Voice Of Portuguese World Music
DESCRIPTION:Labeled “The new voice of Portuguese world music” by Mundo Portugues magazine\, Ramana Vieira pulls traditional Portuguese Fado music into the 21st century with her powerful vocals and unique stylings. Juxtaposing unconventional instrumental layers over Fado’s haunting melodies and melancholy stories of heartache and disappointment\, she updates old-world ballads while maintaining the integrity of this time-honored tradition.  \n This powerful vocalist is making her mark as one of the premier contemporary Fado artists today.  Ramana’s rich\, musical artistry combined with her unconventional original style has transported audiences throughout the world with highlights that include receiving being quoted in the New York Times this March about her influences and Fado music. “Amália Rodrigues is in my DNA\, but so is Kate Bush\, and I started out in a new-wave band\,” Ms. Vieira said before a recent performance in New York. “My purpose is to open up the Fado and keep exploring it. 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. In addition\, Ramana made her international debut with RPT TV Portuguese network. She also was chosen to sing for the Grammy’s 50th Awards special Music Cares benefit to honor Aretha Franklin. Ramana Vieira’s  CD “Lagrimas De Rainha (Tears of a Queen)”\, released in 2009 by The Pacific Coast Jazz Label\, climbed to 43 on the World Music Radio charts nationally.  \n Ramana Vieira: vocals \nLaura Boytz: cello \nMichael McMorrown: Portuguese guitarra \nJeffrey Luiz: classic guitar \nStephen La Porta: percussion \nAlberto Ramirez: electric bass \n “Conservatory trained singer Ramana Vieira brings a New Age sensibility to the Fado with the instrumentation of cello and drums.”-Larry Rohter\, New York Times \n“No one in the United States is doing more to breathe new life into Fado than Ramana Vieira\, a sultry\, dramatic singer.” – Andrew Gilbert\, San Francisco Chronicle \n “Ramana Vieira deserves a prominent place in the front rank of today’s Fado singers\, you will feel transported to another place….maybe Bairro Alto\, Lisbon… Ramana Vieira is a force in spreading awareness of Fado\, having developed her style in California\, abroad in Portugal\, and listening to its many modes.” –  Andrew Gilbert\, Boston Globe \n “If anyone can expand Fado’s audience and take the music from Portuguese dive bars to PBS specials\, it’s Vieira.” Brett Campbell\, Eugene Weekly \nhttp://www.ramanavieira.net/ \nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BqHm2ip8Lg \nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYJxx_aFjdk \nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5DsdteTjqg \n

SUMMARY:Occupy Everywhere Tour Returns to SF
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Red Poppy’s Artist Salon series\, on November 9th Rupa & the April Fishes will be joining us with Mona Caron. \nArtist Salons are an intergal part of the Red Poppy Art House’s programming\, offering a casual\, accessible\, and experimental environment for artists and members of the community to share work and develop dialog around creative initiatives as well as social\, cultural and political issues. These bimonthly events began essentially as “Open Studio” nights\, where artists-in-residence at the Red Poppy and other local people of varying backgrounds and disciplines would gather. Artist Salons now take on a range of formats\, including but not limited to: film screenings\, poetry readings\, one night exhibitions\, critique sessions\, workshops\, musical performances\, lectures\, etc. \nWednesday November 9th 7-9pm \nOccupy Everywhere Tour Returns to SF\nRupa & the April Fishes with Mona Caron\nIn October 2011\, SF-based global mashup artists Rupa & the April Fishes together with muralist Mona Caron embarked on one of their most profound tours yet\, playing in places where the global struggle for the end of capitalism and the beginning of another way is felt with striking impact–in Greece and in India\, for kings and beggars\, in castles\, in social centers and in the slums. Strangely timed with the Occupy Wall Street movement which has been spreading around the world\, this group of artists exchanged ideas and artwork with local folks in these faraway places\, strengthening ties through inquiry into and articulation of a common struggle. Please come join them for an informal evening of stories from the road\, a slideshow documenting their experiences of the group and an opportunity to ask questions and share your own thoughts about occupying everywhere. This will be a free and open event with potluck dinner\, so please feel free to bring food to share.\n

SUMMARY:THE DAN ZEMELMAN QUARTET: Smokin' Original & Standard Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Dan began piano at age 5\, playing classical music.  He developed a passion for Jazz in early adulthood\, studying with Richard Davis at UW Madison and receiving an award as ‘Best Jazz Artist’ at UW Madison in 1996.  In 1998\, as part of the Kennedy Center’s prestigious Jazz Ambassadors program\, he toured India and Sri Lanka courtesy of the US State Department\, representing America’s Jazz tradition through teaching and performances.  He is now an in-demand Jazz pianist in the bay area and currently plays regularly with the Bay Area’s great bassist/composer Marcus Shelby as well as his own group\, The Dan Zemelman Quartet\, that debuted at Yoshi’s in 2009.  Last year they received an honorary position as an alternate band for Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 2010  Rhythm Road music abroad program. \nThis is the group’s 4th time at the Red Poppy.  Tonight the Quartet will present an array of originals and standards\, showcasing the brilliant trumpeter Erik Jekabson and fiery rhythm section of Greg Wyser-Pratte on drums and Chris Lopes on bass.  As always\, the evening’s performance will be spontaneous\, passionate\, diverse and highly improvisational. \nDan Zemelman: piano\nErik Jekabson: trumpet\nGreg Wyser-Pratte: drums\nChris Lopes: bass \n“While Zemelman possesses a lovely touch and fertile harmonic imagination\, what stands out most on One Way Or Another is the probing lyricism that undergirds his group concept.  He gives his formidable collaborators plenty of space\, but the improvisation is always tightly bound to the melodic line.  The resulting music is playful\, tender\, celebratory and consistently engaging\, a rare project that compels a second\, third and fourth spin.” – Andy Gilbert\, SF/bay area jazz critic\, on Dan Z’s debut CD One Way or Another \n“Zemelman is\, after all\, an intimidatingly good pianist. He uses choice voicings\, he obviously listens carefully to his other band members\, and he writes some interesting song heads….He uses cool modern harmonies and emphasizes the dark edges of each chord. His tunes propel themselves forward with driving rhythms\, but in his solos Zemelman often moves in and out of time…..The material here doesn’t have the same intentionally difficult or earth-shatteringly experimental qualities that you sometimes hear in contemporary jazz\, but it’s really well put together.” – Rachel Swan\, East Bay Express\, on Dan Z’s debut CD One Way or Another \nwww.danzemelman.com\nwww.livestream.com/yoshis/video?clipId=pla_f525c1b1-38d7-4072-9855-91522ce09ef4\nwww.danzemelman.com/pages/newmusic \nDoors at 7:30 pm.
