SUMMARY:Vijay Iyer Trio
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as “one of the truly great jazz musicians of our time” (Stereophile) and “extravagantly gifted… brilliantly eclectic” (The New Yorker)\, pianist Vijay Iyer brings his telepathic trio to Rockport with music from his latest ECM album\, Compassion. \n“It’s as if this band wants to both seduce you and discomfit you\, stripping you of everything but the ability to think and see for yourself.”\n– New York Times \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nDescribed by The New York Times as a “social conscience\, multimedia collaborator\, system builder\, rhapsodist\, historical thinker and multicultural gateway\,” Vijay Iyer has carved out a unique path as an influential\, prolific\, shape-shifting presence in twenty-first-century music. A composer and pianist active and revered across multiple musical communities\, Iyer has created a consistently innovative\, emotionally resonant body of work over the last twenty-five years\, earning him a place as one of the leading music-makers of his generation. \nHis honors include a MacArthur Fellowship\, a Doris Duke Performing Artist Award\, a United States Artist Fellowship\, three Grammy nominations\, the Alpert Award in the Arts\, the Greenfield Prize\, a Dutch “Edison” Prize\, and two German “Echo” awards; he was also voted DownBeat Magazine’s Jazz Artist of the Year four times. He has been praised by Pitchfork as “one of the best in the world at what he does\,” by the Los Angeles Weekly as “a boundless and deeply important young star\,” and by Minnesota Public Radio as “an American treasure.” \nIyer’s musical language is indebted to the great composer-pianists from Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk to Alice Coltrane and Geri Allen\, the rhythmic traditions of South Asia and West Africa\, and the African American creative music movement of the 60s and 70s. In February 2024 Iyer released Compassion (ECM Records)\, the second recording by his much-admired trio with drummer Tyshawn Sorey and bassist Linda May Han Oh. The New York Times observed\, “It’s as if this band wants to both seduce you and discomfit you\, stripping you of everything but the ability to think and see for yourself.” Other recent releases include Love In Exile (Verve\, 2023)\, a Grammy-nominated collaboration with vocalist Arooj Aftab and bassist Shahzad Ismaily; Uneasy (ECM Records\, 2021)\, the acclaimed first trio session with Sorey and Oh; Far From Over (ECM\, 2017) with the award-winning Vijay Iyer Sextet; and A Cosmic Rhythm with Each Stroke (ECM\, 2016) a suite of duets with visionary composer-trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith. \nIyer is an active composer for classical ensembles and soloists\, with works premiered by Brentano Quartet\, Imani Winds\, Parker Quartet\, Bang on a Can All-Stars\, The Silk Road Ensemble\, Sō Percussion\, International Contemporary Ensemble\, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra\, East Coast Chamber Orchestra\, LA Philharmonic\, London Philharmonic\, Oregon Symphony\, American Composers Orchestra\, and virtuosi Matt Haimowitz\, Mishka Rushdie Momen\, Claire Chase\, Inbal Segev\, Sarah Rothenberg\, Shai Wosner\, and Jennifer Koh. The Boston Modern Orchestra Project produced a portrait album\, Trouble (BMOP/sound 2024)\, comprising three of Iyer’s orchestral works. Iyer recently served as composer-in-residence at London’s Wigmore Hall\, music director of the Ojai Music Festival\, and artist-in-residence at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. His scores are published by Schott Music. \nA tireless collaborator\, he has written big-band music for Arturo O’Farrill and Darcy James Argue\, remixed classic recordings of Talvin Singh and Meredith Monk\, joined forces with legendary musicians Henry Threadgill\, Reggie Workman\, Zakir Hussain\, and L. Subramanian\, and developed interdisciplinary work with Teju Cole\, Carrie Mae Weems\, Mike Ladd\, Julie Mehretu\, and Prashant Bhargava. Iyer is a tenured professor at Harvard University\, with a joint appointment in the Department of Music and the Department of African and African American Studies. He lives in New York City. He is a Steinway artist. \n“Vijay is one of the most unique pianists of our time\, who is fearless in his approach to playing jazz and open to the purist form of improvisation.” – Terrance Blanchard

SUMMARY:Ruf Records 30 Years Anniversary Tour
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating 30 years of Ruf Records \nGet Ready for an historic evening of Blues and Blues Rock\, commemorating 30 years of Ruf Records with a star – studded celebration featuring the Grammy Award – nominated Samantha Fish\, who has soared to the pinnacle of the Blues Rock scene with her fiery guitar skills and soulful vocals. Samantha started her career on Ruf Records\, where she was given the creative freedom to grow and express herself\, fostering an environment that allowed her unique sound to flourish. Samantha and her band will be joined on stage by the legendary Mitch Ryder. Known for one of the tightest and most hard – hitting blue – eyed soul acts of the 1960s\, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels broke out of the Motor City to become major stars\, racking up five Top 30 singles over 1966 and 1967. Ryder’s influence reverberates through the blue – collar rock music of icons like Bob Seger\, John Mellencamp\, and Bruce Springsteen. \nBut first\, witness the pioneers of Blues Rock\, the legendary Canned Heat\, playing their iconic hits including “Going Up the Country\,” “Let’s Work Together\,” and the band’s biggest hit “On the Road Again.” Hailing from Los Angeles\, California\, and formed in 1965\, Canned Heat is among the unsung heroes of 60’s rock\, famed as one of its best live acts and one of its most enduring forces. Featuring Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra\, Dale Spalding\, Rick Reed\, and Jimmy Vivino\, the band is currently touring in support of their new chart – topping Ruf Records release “Finyl Vinyl.” Canned Heat will be joined on stage by Bernard Allison. Allison is a Chicago native and is the youngest son of Luther Allison and longtime member of his father’s band. Allison has become a popular artist in his own right while faithfully keeping his dad’s musical legacy alive. Bernard and his father Luther are both Ruf Records artists. \nTo kick off the evening\, Ruf Records’ rising star Ghalia Volt will bring her unique One Woman Band to the stage. Recently highlighted on “60 Minutes\,” Ghalia blends traditional Blues with modern influences\, and her innovative approach and authentic sound highlight her dedication to preserving and evolving the rich legacy of North Mississippi Blues.
