SUMMARY:Melissa Czarnik with Eric Mire: Jazzy-Hip Hop-Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Czarnik (Zar-nik) is one of the most vital emcees to emerge in recent years. Mixing potent poetry\, soulful hip hop and improvisatory Jazz\, Czarnik’s music exemplifies artists such as Lauryn Hill\, Ani Difranco and Nneka. \nHailing from Milwaukee\, Czarnik’s first two albums Strawberry Cadillac (HMP\, 2008) and Raspberry Jesus (HMP\, 2010) have earned her recognition by NPR\, Bitch Magazine\, Bust Magazine\, Anattitude Magazine (Europe)\, and Democracy Now among others.   She has toured extensively throughout the United States and was a special guest performer at the Supafly Hip Hop Series #3 in Brussels\, Belgium.  In 2010\, Czarnik was interviewed on Billy Jam’s WFMU “Women in Hip Hop Special” which also featured Rah Digga and Ayana Soyini. \nCurrently Czarnik is booking a 2012 European tour and is preparing for her French artist residency\, where she will complete her forthcoming album\, Non Merci. \nMelissa Czarnik – vocals\nEric Mire – key board\, loop pedal\, vocals \n“This incredible young rapper from Milwaukee had me under her spell from the first to last moments of her album. 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. Together\, they’ve produced a surprising\, potent and thoughtful mix of funk\, jazz\, soul and hip-hop.” -Robin Hilton\, NPR\, All Songs Considered \n“With slammin’ poetry\, precise beats\, and DIY authenticity\, Czarnik is an inspiration to young MC’s everywhere.”- Claire Ashton\, Bitch Magazine \nWebsite: http://www.melissaczarnik.com/default.html\nYoutube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00kdc1Qnv8E\nAudio Clip Melissa Czarnik “Thunder Summer Storm”: http://www.melissaczarnik.com/tss.mp3 \n$10-$12 admission.  Doors at 7:30 pm.  Show at 8:00 pm.

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.

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:Claire Brandt: Mission Lascaux
DESCRIPTION:Claire Brandt: Mission Lascaux \nSite Specific Installation at The Red Poppy Art House
 \nOn Exhibition: November 7 –  January 1\, 2011 (EXTENDED) \nReception: Thursday\, December 8\, 2011\, 6-9pm \nThe Red Poppy Art House is excited to present Mission Lascaux\, a site-specific installation by Claire Brandt exploring communication\, embodiment\, movement and the connection between all three. Mission Lascaux will be an installation of life-size cut-paper wild animals of the land\, sea and air mid-movement on the gallery walls of the Red Poppy Art House. Visitors to the Poppy will be able to compare their own bodies to animals they would not usually have an opportunity to be close to—Orca whales and coyotes for example—giving them an opportunity to feel a physical connection with beings outside of usual urban experience. Brandt’s installation will develop over the course of November\, culminating in a final closing reception on December 8\, 2011\, 6-9pm. \nBrandt’s work has been shown in Los Angeles and the Bay Area\, most recently at the David Brower Center in Berkeley. She maintains an active studio practice in San Francisco’s Infill Studios (of which she is a founding member). Brandt has been awarded residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and the Headlands Center for the Arts: Open to the Elements.  She received her A.B. in English and American Literature from Harvard College in 1994 and an MFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2005. She was raised in Bellingham & Tacoma\, Washington.
