SUMMARY:DAVID BENOIT’S CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS
DESCRIPTION:David Benoit was bitten by the jazz bug after watching a Charlie Brown special on television and listening to the music of Vince Guaraldi in 1965. “I was already a fan of the comic strip\,” he says\, “but when I heard that jazz piano trio\, that was the defining moment when I decided that I wanted to play like Vince Guaraldi.” \nFor four decades\, the GRAMMY®-nominated pianist/composer/ arranger David Benoit has reigned supreme as one the founding fathers of Contemporary Jazz. He has received three GRAMMY® nominations in the categories of Best Contemporary Jazz Performance for “Every Step of the Way” (1989)\, Best Large Ensemble Performance for GRP All-Star Big Band (1996)\, and Best Instrumental Composition for “Dad’s Room\,” the latter from the album Professional Dreamer (2000) and in 2010\, David Benoit received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Smooth Jazz Awards. He has also worked with an impressive potpourri of musicians including the Rippingtons\, Emily Remler\, the late Alphonse Mouzon\, Dave Koz\, Faith Hill\, David Sanborn\, CeCe Winans\, Keiko Matsui\, Hiroshima and Brian McKnight. \n“Benoit tickles those keys and this is a definite masterclass on how to play the piano with feeling.” – The Jazz World

SUMMARY:THE LAST WALTZ Celebration featuring The THE BAND Band & Special Guests
DESCRIPTION:The THE BAND Band presents a celebration of The Last Waltz\, bringing to life one of the most historic concerts of the rock era. \nOn Thanksgiving Day in 1976\, concertgoers packed San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom to witness The Last Waltz – the farewell performance of The Band’s legendary 16-year career. The group\, who had originally come to worldwide attention as Bob Dylan’s backing band\, had gone on to record eight albums on their own that featured such classic songs as “The Weight\,” “Up on Cripple Creek\,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” \nThe farewell party they hosted that Thanksgiving night featured a who’s who of rock royalty from Bob Dylan\, Neil Young and Eric Clapton to Van Morrison\, Joni Mitchell and Ronnie Hawkins. “It was one of the most incredible concerts ever held\,” says Gary Solomon\, co-founder of the Rockland County\, NY based tribute act The THE BAND Band\, who happened to be in the audience that night! \nThe THE BAND Band recreates the music and the magic of that Thanksgiving evening with The Last Waltz Celebration\, performing The Band’s most beloved songs and enlisting a dozen guest musicians\, including a horn section\, to the cover numerous artists and songs featured in the original concert. The lineup includes fiddle player Larry Packer\, who played with The Band at the original concert in 1976. For Solomon\, the show resonates on a personal level. “Having been at The Last Waltz on Thanksgiving Day nearly a half century ago\, and now performing it with my tribute band\, really feels like things have come full circle.”

SUMMARY:Caspian
DESCRIPTION:Long-running cinematic rock band Caspian don’t want you to call their fifth album a “redemption\,” a “comeback\,” a “rise from the ashes\,” or any of the other sentiments that emerge when bands return from nearly five years of silence. “I’ve grown weary of reading about bands discuss the renewing\, rehabilitative properties their most recent [album] has had on them\,” says guitarist/keyboardist Philip Jamieson. “They incur corrosion\, come close to running out of gas\, descend into the dark abyss\, and finally emerge on the other side with a record that has given them crystal clear perspective and a confident path forward. On Circles is not that record.” \nInstead\, this majestic collision of post-rock\, metal\, shoegaze\, electronics\, noise\, minimalism and ambient music is an existential meditation\, an acceptance of the cyclical nature of both life and career. Recorded at Studio 4 in Conshohocken\, PA\, by producer Will Yip (Code Orange\, Defeater\, Quicksand\, Turnstile)\, On Circles marks the most organic writing and recording sessions in Caspian’s 15-year history. Together for four weeklong songwriting sessions\, the band (joined by propulsive new drummer Justin Forrest)\, opted for music gleaming with visceral impact instead of over-thought tangles\, over-arching concepts and drawn-out crescendos \nOn Circles is an art-rock record swirling with fourth-world saxophones\, dubby textures\, 7/8 rhythms and hard-sawed cello from Jo Quail (Myrkyr\, Winterfylleth\, Poppy Ackroyd). The band stretches out to make room for guitarist Jonny Ashburn’s melodic interplay (“Division Blues”)\, bassist Jani Zubkovs’ punk shredding (“Collapser”) and the mandolin of founding member Calvin Joss (“Flowers of Light”). Guitarist Erin Burke-Moran wrote a pastoral-to-epic\, chamber-rock journey (“Ishmael”) as a tribute to eight months spent on the Appalachian trail. The wistful “Nostalgist” features vocals from Kyle Durfey of fellow Northeastern alterna-rock grandeur artists Piano Becomes the Teeth. For the first time\, each track is meant to stand alone. \n“They’re just songs that we got together and wrote over the course of a year while trying to have a good time and reclaim whatever it is that’s simple about all of this\,” says Jamieson. “Don’t get me wrong\, we kicked our own asses constantly and stayed up staring at the ceiling thinking about song structures all night for a year here … but being free from the yolk of having our music relentlessly try to answer the un-answerable was emancipating and humbling.” \nThe band’s deeply personal 2015 LP Dust and Disquiet was a concept record about grief\, dealing with the emotions after losing friend and bassist Chris Friedrich in 2013. After the two years of global touring that followed\, Caspian took their first-ever long term hiatus – or what Jamieson called “an overdue emotional inventory.” The reflection raised questions about the friction between artistic inspiration and financial reality\, the increasingly demystified trudge of road life\, and if “the healing power of music” is even a realistic expectation after all. During that time Jamieson personally traversed an “ugly grey underworld of depression\, lethargy and emotional ambivalence\,” inspiring the lyrics to the title track. \n“Music is a mediator to the unspeakable\, and the unspeakable is always by definition out of reach\, moving somewhere invisibly along the closed curve of a circle\,” says Jamieson. “Acknowledging all this\, what if we just made an album for the simple sake of making music\, with as few existential expectations as we are capable\, with as much of our self-importance sidelined as possible in order to facilitate that?” \nEschewing many of the giant\, enveloping wall-of-guitar build-ups of past Caspian albums\, the songs inside On Circles even take circular paths\, with no beginning or ends. \n“Life isn’t a series of epic crescendos\, ” says Jamieson. “Sometimes it’s the hint of one (‘Onsra’)\, or a sequential series of crescendos that come in waves but aren’t set up to go for an obvious jugular (‘Wildblood\,’ ‘Ishmael’)\, or end up in a completely different place than where you expected\, but pivot at the very last moment back to their beginning (‘Division Blues’).”

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.

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:Och & Oy!: A Considered Cabaret starring Alan Cumming and Ari Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:Alan Cumming (Cabaret\, The Good Wife) and Ari Shapiro (NPR’s All Things Considered\, Pink Martini) both transport audiences to other worlds through their stories. Now\, they’re joining forces in SONG. Witness the critically acclaimed evening of tunes and tall tales titled “Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret”. Musical direction by Henry Koperski. \nIn a statement\, Cumming said\, “I’ve got to know Ari over the last few years\, both socially and when he interviewed me for a couple of events. The last time was an evening in D.C.\, and by the end of it I realized our chemistry and the unusual combo of us\, as well as the fact that Ari has an amazing voice\, would make for a really great cabaret show. And kapow! We’re doing it! What I love most is it’s fresh and ever-changing.” \nShapiro added\, “When Alan first suggested that we create a show together\, I didn’t quite believe him. Then as we started to dig in to this collaboration\, I realized how much our professional lives actually complement each other. We’re both storytellers who try to help audiences better understand themselves and the world around them. This show lets us explore those shared ideals on stage together\, through stories and songs.”

SUMMARY:Vapors Of Morphine
DESCRIPTION:11/23/24\n21+\, Positive I.D. Required. 7:30pm Doors / 8:00pm Show\nReserved Rail Seats & G.A. Standing. $30-$25 \nVapors was formed over a decade ago by Dana Colley\, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Lyons and Morphine’s original drummer Jerome Deupree. Drummer Tom Arey (J. Geils Band\, Peter Wolfe’s Midnight Ramblers\, Ghosts of Jupiter) replaced Deupree in 2019.

It only seems fitting when both bands have been blessed with a revolving cast of top-notch percussionists.

SUMMARY:Amy Helm
DESCRIPTION:Fri 11/22/24\nReserved Floor & Reserved Rail seating or G.A. Standing\, $42-$32\n7pm Doors / 7:30pm Show. 21+\, Positive I.D. Required \nThis will be a full band performance! \nWhen creating her fourth album\, the soulful and reflective Silver City\, Amy Helm was guided by her North Star: women’s voices. “Women whispering\, singing\, shouting their stories – speaking the truth. I wanted to dig into that inherited narrative and reach for what I could.” The epistolary anthology is a collection of conversations that travel through time\, exploring and celebrating womanhood in all its complexities. Silver City blends the folk twang of Helm’s childhood with gospel and soul\, drawing inspiration from varied stories: the life of Helm’s great-grandmother\, the story of a young fan struggling with substance abuse\, Helm’s own life as a single mother and hard-touring singer. Recorded at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock\, New York\, and produced by Josh Kaufman\, the album finds Helm exploring themes of womanhood\, single motherhood\, and personal struggles\, offering songs that are deeply personal and narrative-driven. With Silver City\, Helm embraces the beauty of age\, survival\, and transformation through her powerful\, story-rooted performances.

SUMMARY:Brubeck Brothers Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The group’s creativity\, technique and improvisation can be heard in their uncompromising music\, which reflects their dedication to melody\, rhythm\, culture and the spontaneous spirit of jazz. \nChris and Dan Brubeck have been making music together practically all their lives.

SUMMARY:In Bloom Listening Series featuring The Implications Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light Julian Mendoza
DESCRIPTION:11/21/24\nGA Seating 6:00pm doors / 6:30pm show\n18+\, anyone under 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult $12 \nThe Implications: Combining the talents of some of Gloucester’s finest performers\, “The Implications” consist of the amazing songstress Millie Manning and her hauntingly beautiful voice\, teamed with powerful vocals and commanding performances of the incomparable John Jerome\, all anchored by the incredibly versatile and gifted Mr. Geoff Small on guitar and vocal as well. Harmonies abound\, with moving original compositions and a curated selection of cover songs to bring it all together. \nRachel Sumner and Traveling Light: Fresh off a first place win at the 2023 Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival band competition\, Rachel Sumner has been captivating audiences throughout the northeast. With songs as sweet and biting as the nectar and venom in her voice\, Sumner’s lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something far beyond folk conventions. \nSumner is no stranger to the stage. She spent her early career on the bluegrass circuit\, singing and writing with the genre-bending roots group Twisted Pine. Since setting out on her own\, Sumner’s songs have been critically acclaimed: winning the 2021 John Lennon Award in the folk category for her song “Radium Girls (Curie Eleison);” earning a spot in the Kerrville New Folk Competition; and being chosen four consecutive years as one of the top Massachusetts entries in NPR’s Tiny Desk Competition. Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light released their debut LP in the summer of 2022 to critical acclaim. \nJulian Mendoza: Julian Mendoza is amorphous. Floating gracefully through the space between hip-hop\, soul\, jazz\, and much more\, the Massachusetts singer-rapper-songwriter has been likened to boundary-pushers such as OutKast\, Dominic Fike\, and Frank Ocean. \nWhile these comparisons alone paint an eclectic picture\, Mendoza’s versatility may be best represented by his wealth of genre-bending collaborative work. Artists that appear in his discography range from Rei Kimura of indie pop-rock band Moxie to Grammy-nominated Dreamville affiliate DaVionne and underground hip-hop rising star Blvck Svm. Mendoza’s latest body of work\, the 14-track “Beneath My Wings\,” features contributions from more than 40 musicians\, writers\, and engineers.
