SUMMARY:19-Piece Compaq Big Band w/ Special Guest Vocalist Anaïs Reno at Backbeat Brewing Company
DESCRIPTION:The 19-piece Compaq Big Band is celebrating their 50th birthday month by performing Monday March 24th at an exciting new-to-us venue\, the Backbeat Brewing Company (BBC) in Beverly\, Massachusetts. Though it will be our first appearance at one of the North Shore’s undiscovered live music gems\, BBC is no stranger to great big band entertainment\, first and foremost by the ‘house band’ – the Backbeat Big Band (BBB) – directed by well-known New England jazz trumpeter Jay Daly. In addition to treating Monday night audiences from Beverly and beyond to his all-star band’s programs\, Jay and BBC owner Pete Harkins (a HUGE fan of big bands!) have begun welcoming guest ensembles from Greater Boston\, including to date the Randy Pingrey Jazz Orchestra and Greg Hopkins Big Band. Pretty darn good company! \nThere is no cover charge for this show. We’re on 7:00pm-9:30pm. Doors Open 5:00pm. All seating is General Admission\, and capacity is limited – SO GET THERE EARLY! Casual dress. \nSupercharging our BBC debut will be Special Guest Vocalist Anaïs Reno from New York City. In 2024 we were fortunate to have Anaïs up from New York to be featured in front the full band on three killer concert events\, including at the prestigious City Winery Boston. And\, she wowed every audience member – from just sitting just a few feet in front of her to around the world – when she performed at a fabulous live studio\, on-air FM\, and streamed performance at 90.5 WICN in Worcester with a talented quintet of CBB instrumentalists one year ago. Check out video and photos from that special WICN Studio 50 event at [https://www.compaqbigband.com/CBB_AnaisReno_WICN_20240326.php](https://www.compaqbigband.com/CBB_AnaisReno_WICN_20240326.php) \, along with a fascinating on-air interview by WICN’s Tom Nutile recorded just after the live performance. \nAnd we’re not done yet with the March 24th program yet – not by a long shot! You’ll also be treated to an exciting opening set by All-City Jazz Ensemble\, comprised of students from the Beverly schools’ Grades 5-9\, beginning at 6:00pm! \nBBC is located at 31A Park Street in downtown Beverly\, just across from the MBTA commuter rail station – not very far off Route 128. There’s plenty of parking adjacent to/near the venue\, including at the MBTA parking garage at 100 Rantoul Street ($4 cash or card) and metered on-street spaces ($1/hour up until 8:00pm – quarters\, card\, or Passport Parking App) \nBBC offers an assortment of fresh craft beers brewed on premises\, as well as non-alcoholic beverages. And\, they serve great pizza and bar snacks. \nOn March 24th Anaïs will be singing arrangements from the Great American Songbook as performed by Ella Fitzgerald with the Duke Ellington Orchestra\, as well as other jazz classics as sung by Ella\, Carmen McRae\, Anita O’Day\, Helen O’Connell\, and more. A few very hip\, more modern takes on timeless vocals will be sprinkled in\, such as John Clayton’s powerful version of “Fever”. And\, we’ll round out the evening with a few tasty instrumental arrangements from the likes of Chris Walden\, Count Basie\, Sammy Nestico\, Callum Au\, and Gordon Goodwin. \nSince Anaïs’ public Boston debut with us just ten short months ago at City Winery Boston\, this rising New York City jazz star has been busy performing in her hometown of Manhattan\, along with appearing on stages in St. Louis\, Buffalo\, Philadelphia (where one of her very frequent jazz club venues named an ice cream after her…)\, San Francisco\, London\, Edinburgh\, Lake Tahoe\, New Hampshire\, and more. \nWe will have Anaïs’ CDs of her fist two albums\, along with vinyl of her second album\, available for purchase. All merchandise will be on sale before the show\, during intermission\, and post-show (cash & cards accepted). \nAnaïs began singing the Great American Songbook at the age of eight\, and has been performing at legendary Birdland Jazz Club in Times Square since she was thirteen. A graduate of the acclaimed Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in NYC\, she is an Ella Fitzgerald Scholar who is in her final semester at Purchase College (SUNY Purchase) in New York\, majoring in vocal jazz performance. \nAmong her many accolades\, she won the Ben Tucker Jazz Award at the 2023 American Traditions Competition\, took First Place at the 2020 Mabel Mercer Foundation competition\, received the 2020 Julie Wilson Award\, was awarded Second Place at the 2018 Michael Feinstein’s Great American Song Book Academy competition\, and earned the 2016 Forte International Competition’s Platinum Award. \nShe has performed for sold out shows at storied NYC venues such as Rose Hall at Lincoln Center\, Carnegie Hall\, The Django\, Dizzy’s\, and Feinstein’s 54 Below\, plus Seneca One Auditorium in Buffalo\, NY for International Jazz Day\, as well as singing her own compositions with the NY Philharmonic in David Geffen Hall (Lincoln Center). Anaïs has also sung at Madison Square Garden\, and at the Caramoor Jazz Festival. She delivered a stunning rendition of “America The Beautiful” on national television at Citi Field for the New York Mets/Yankees game on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. \nAnaïs appears regularly at iconic music venues such as Birdland\, Chris’ Jazz Club in Philadelphia\, and at PizzaExpress in London. Her first album\, “Lovesome Thing: Anaïs Reno sings Ellington & Strayhorn”\, debuted in 2021\, and is a 12-song compilation of 100% Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn collaborations that rose quickly to #6 on the jazz charts. Her second album – “Anaïs Reno at PizzaExpress Live – in London“ – was recorded Summer 2023 at the iconic club’s trendy Soho flagship location. Her third album is nearing completion around the date of this gig. \nTo get a couple more samples of what you’re in for on March 24th\, watch a video collage captured live of her singing with the CBB at the Andres Institute of Art in Brookline\, NH on September 20\, 2024\, and listen to a live recording of her performing Billy May’s arrangement of “I Love You” with us at the The Park Theatre in Jaffrey\, NH on July 24\, 2024 as part of the TEAM Jaffrey Summer Concert Series. Finally\, listen to a couple small-group jazz tracks from Anaïs’ first album that – we’ll be doing full big band arrangements of at the BBC: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bxGPJ3mncM&list=OLAK5uy_kHm45Cra7FSia4UlomWi_YrbNBo2P6cMw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bxGPJ3mncM&list=OLAK5uy_kHm45Cra7FSia4UlomWi_YrbNBo2P6cMw) and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTf7uQMLB4Q&list=OLAK5uy_kHm45Cra7FSia4UlomWi_YrbNBo2P6cMw&index=5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTf7uQMLB4Q&list=OLAK5uy_kHm45Cra7FSia4UlomWi_YrbNBo2P6cMw&index=5) \nwww.compaqbigband.com | www.anaisreno.com | www.backbeatbrewing.com | www.jaydalytrumpet.com \nFB: Compaq Big Band | Anaïs Reno | Backbeat Brewing Company | Jay Daly \nIG: compaqbigband | anaisrenojazz | backbeatbrewing | jay.daly

SUMMARY:“Shark Heart: A Love Story”: An author event with Mass Book Award-Honoree Emily Habeck
DESCRIPTION:Join the Peabody Institute Library of Danvers for a special event with Mass Book Award-honoree Emily Habeck! Emily will share her gorgeous novel of metamorphosis\, marriage\, and motherhood\, Shark Heart: A Love Story. \nA sweeping love story that is at once lyrical and funny\, airy and visceral\, Shark Heart is an unforgettable novel about life’s perennial questions\, the fragility of memories\, finding joy amidst grief\, and creating a meaningful life. This daring debut\, selected as a New York Times Editor’s Choice\, marks the arrival of a wildly talented new writer abounding with originality\, humor\, and heart. \nFor Lewis and Wren\, their first year of marriage is also their last. A few weeks after their wedding\, Lewis receives a rare diagnosis. He will retain most of his consciousness\, memories\, and intellect\, but his physical body will gradually turn into a great white shark. As Lewis develops the features and impulses of one of the most predatory creatures in the ocean\, his complicated artist’s heart struggles to make peace with his unfulfilled dreams. At first\, Wren internally resists her husband’s fate. Is there a way for them to be together after Lewis changes? Then\, a glimpse of Lewis’s developing carnivorous nature activates long-repressed memories for Wren\, whose story vacillates between her childhood living on a houseboat in Oklahoma\, her time with her college ex-girlfriend\, and her unusual friendship with a woman pregnant with twin birds. \nThis program is sponsored by the Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau and is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Center for the Book. \nEmily Habeck holds a BFA in Theater from Southern Methodist University and master’s degrees from Vanderbilt Divinity School and Vanderbilt’s Peabody College. Her bestselling debut novel\, Shark Heart: A Love Story\, was a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice\, a Book of the Month selection\, a finalist for Book of the Year\, a Goodreads choice award nominee\, and the #1 Indie Next pick for August 2023. In 2024\, Shark Heart was also shortlisted for the Massachusetts Book Award\, the Kitschies Golden Tentacle Prize\, and the Brooklyn Library Book Prize. Emily is from Ardmore\, Oklahoma and currently lives in Somerville\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:The Wonderful Woman Behind Oz
DESCRIPTION:In 1900\, America was introduced to both its first fairytale and its first good witches. L. Frank Baum’s iconic children’s story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ushered in a new age for the witch\, transforming these monstrous figures of old into good\, kind\, and beautiful characters. \nWhile we will never know what precisely inspired Baum to include good witches in his story\, this presentation will discuss the influence of one powerful close connection\, Matilda Joslyn Gage. Though her name is unfamiliar today\, Gage was an important leader of the first wave feminist movement\, a trailblazing human rights activist\, and the mother-in-law of L. Frank Baum. \nJoin the Salem Witch Museum Department of Education on Wednesday\, March 26th at 6:00 pm EST for this free virtual program about the fascinating woman behind Oz. This presentation will discuss the life and work of Matilda Joslyn Gage\, her relationship with her famous-son-in-law\, and the effect of Baum’s work on the evolving perception of the witch. \n
