SUMMARY:Natalie Cressman & Mike Bono Duo: Indie Rock Meets Contemporary Jazz
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative duo since 2014\, Natalie Cressman and Mike Bono have developed a repertoire of vibrant and intricate originals which incorporate a combination of genres\, including indie rock and contemporary jazz.  \nRaised in an eclectic musical household\, Natalie Cressman has continued to diversify and expand her musical universe throughout her musical career. Still in her early 20s\, the trombonist/composer/vocalist has assimilated the full range of her sonic influences into a startlingly-mature and strikingly-original voice. Cressman’s sound melds the sophistication of contemporary jazz with captivating storytelling and intoxicating melodies reminiscent of indie rock’s most distinctive songwriters. Cressman has spent much of the last four years touring the jam band circuit with Phish’s Trey Anastasio\, while also performing with jazz luminaries Nicholas Payton\, Wycliffe Gordon\, and Peter Apfelbaum. \nGuitarist Mike Bono\, now age 24\, is a performer\, educator\, composer\, and recording artist. He began his musical career at the age of 5\, and at 18 he auditioned for Berklee College of Music and was the first guitarist in the school’s history to be awarded a Presidential Scholarship. While at school\, Mike formed The Mike Bono Group\, which released their debut record in September 2013\, entitled\, From Where You Are. In the last five years\, Mike has had opportunities to perform with many including\, Erykah Badu\, Aloe Blacc\, Chris Cheek\, Dayna Stephens\, and Julian Lage\, to name a few. \nFeaturing:\nNatalie Cressman – vocals\, trombone\nMike Bono – guitar \n“Natalie Cressman is\, one might say\, a chip off the old blocks. Like her father\, Santana sideman Jeff Cressman\, she plays trombone. Like her mother\, jazz vocalist Sandy Cressman\, she sings. She does both with aplomb on her debut CD\, “Unfolding\,” and wrote richly textured horn-section charts for herself\, a trumpeter and a tenor saxophonist.”\n— Lee Hildebrand\, San Francisco Chronicle \n“Mike Bono is one of my favorite guitarists on the scene today. His voice is deeply musical and unique.  He is not only a great practitioner of the instrument\, but also a gifted and creative composer. Can’t wait to hear where he takes us!”\n— Julian Lage\n \nExplore Natalie’s music on Facebook and on Bandcamp.\nStream the original compositions of The Mike Bono Group here.\nGet a sneak preview of the duo’s collaborative tunes here and here. \nAdmission: $10-20.

SUMMARY:Jazz In The Neighborhood Presents: the George Brooks Trio: Bridging Jazz & Indian Classical Music
DESCRIPTION:The Red Poppy Art House warmly welcomes the George Brooks Trio featuring pianist Osam Ezzeldin and bassist Kai Eckhardt\, presented through Jazz in the Neighborhood’s new monthly series at the Red Poppy. \nGeorge Brooks is a saxophonist and composer\, acclaimed for successfully bridging the worlds of jazz and Indian classical music. He founded the seminal groups grounded in Indian music: Summit with Zakir Hussain\, Bombay Jazz with Ronu Majumdar and Larry Coryell\, the Raga Bop Trio with Steve Smith and Prasanna and Elements with Gwyneth Wentink and Kala Ramnath.  \nRaised in Germany and Liberia\, Kai Eckhardt came to the USA in 1980 to study at the Berklee College of Music. Upon graduating Kai garnered world-wide recognition performing with the John McLaughlin Trio. The trio\, consisting of Kai\, John and Indian percussion phenomenon\, Trilok Gurtu\, recorded “Live at the Royal Festival Hall.” Kai\, touring the world with McLaughlin’s trio and later with Trilok Gurtu’s outstanding ensembles\, developed a remarkable facility with African and Indian rhythmic cycles. He combined these global rhythms with his love of funk and developed a unique slapping style simultaneously reminiscent of African kora and James Brown. \nOsam Ezzeldin was born in Cairo\, Egypt and grew up immersed in the music of North Africa. At the age of 18 he heard his first recording of jazz and his life immediately transformed. Osam embarked on a journey of self-directed jazz study and began a rapid rise to excellence\, soon becoming indispensable to leading jazz musicians of North Africa. Osam’s love of the genre brought him to the US at the age of 21. His prodigious abilities at the keyboard soon brought him to the attention of the local musicians and he quickly became immersed in the professional world of Texas jazz\, blues and R&B. Osam’s unique ability to blend contemporary jazz vocabulary with Arabic\, Indian and Caribbean influences has led to performances with many luminaries of world music including Indian maestros Zakir Hussain\, Niladri Kumar and Kala Ramnath and Turkish multi-instrumentalist Orhan Osman and the Turkophony Allstars\, Uzbek percussionist Abbos Kasimov\, as well as jazz stars Giovanni Hidalgo\, Billy Cobham\, Chuck Rainey\, Kai Eckhardt and Dave Weckl.\n \nFeaturing: \nGeorge Brooks – saxophone\nKai Eckhardt – bass\nOsam Ezzeldin – piano \nMore on Jazz in the Neighborhood: \nThe mission of Jazz in the Neighborhood is to celebrate and invigorate the Bay Area’s rich\, musical jazz heritage by creating more opportunities for established local musicians to perform\, mentor aspiring players\, and share this great American art form with the community. Through collaboration with school music programs and adult big bands\, the project enables top-caliber artists to push creative boundaries while helping developing musicians “learn on the bandstand” according to the great jazz tradition. Performances in neighborhood venues not only showcase the wealth of local talent\, but also create regular destinations for people to enjoy rich cultural and social experiences where they live.\n\n\n\n \nAdmission: $20 general admission\, $5 for students. Doors at 6:30pm. Show at 7:00pm. All ages welcome.\n \nAdvance tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/george-brooks-trio-feat-osam-ezzeldin-and-kai-eckhardt-tickets-17523115109\n\n \nJoin the conversation at the Poppy – volunteer with us! Click here.
