SUMMARY:EDDIE AND QUINCY BULLEN: FATHER AND SON DUELING PIANO CONCERT
DESCRIPTION:Dueling Pianos is a celebration of a beautiful relationship between a father and son. A relationship that\, but for a father’s determination\, commitment and love\, could have detoured to strife and opposition. It is a reminder that music has a central place in our lives\, to inspire us in all ways\, including our work. \nTwo generations are represented in a very fine narrative powerfully presented with two voices\, speaking to the timeline of sacrifice to triumph\, of one generation passing its best on to the next. And\, from the father’s perspective as a renaissance leader\, also speaking to the qualities of inspiring others that he wants to pass on to his son. \nThe narrative and the specific musical pieces of Dueling Pianos are deliberately selected to demonstrate the pain and joy in reaching for and attaining excellence. Audiences are treated to masterful renditions of our own Oscar Peterson’s ‘Hymn to Freedom’\, of John Coltrane’s ‘Giant Steps’ and more… arranged for two pianos\, as the musicians weave the musical classics of Jazz\, Classical\, Calypso\, Reggae and The Blues into their story\, showing how the father prepared his son to understand and embrace his historical roots\, the roots of music and the world’s great musicians. \nFor the father his show is his legacy. The son\, for his part\, shows how this mentoring has shaped his music and his life. \nDoors Open: 4 P.M. \nConcert: 5 P.M. \nTickets are available HERE

SUMMARY:Kristen Mark Westwood-What I Heard\, What I Saw - Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Kristen Mark Westwood’s first album\, “What I Heard\, What I Saw\,” was born from almost a decade of wrestling with\, and re-discovering\, the stories from the Book of Mark.

The voice and the music are lush\, bold and joyous. \nJoin Aviva and her quartet: Justin Gray (bass and bass veena)\, Joel Schwartz (electric and resonator guitar)\, and Naghmeh Farahmand (Persian percussion)\, with guests Ernie Tollar (winds)\, Maryem Tollar (vocals). \nSeptember 19th.\n918 Bathurst Street\nDoors Open: 7:30pm\nShow: 8pm \nLa Serena will be available for sale on CD and Vinyl at the show.

On October 25th\, 1957\, William Masselos gave the premiere performance of the composer’s PIANO FANTASY at The Juilliard School in New York City. Masselos played the fantasy twice\, punctuated by a short intermission. Originally subtitled ‘The Music Within\,’ the Fantasy remained close to Copland’s heart throughout his life. To commemorate the 62nd anniversary of its premiere\, Adam Sherkin presents a re-creation of the 1957 performance\, including world premiers of his own music\, commissioned especially for the occasion: a prelude\, “The Music Within” and a postlude\, “The Music Beyond.” \nTHE SHOW: Tickets are available on this platform or at the door (same price). Wine and beer will be available for purchase and a short\, 20-minute\, intermission will punctuate the performances of the Copland Fantasy. Don’t miss this excluve recital experience! \nTHE PROGRAMME: SHERKIN: Prelude The Music Within (2019)*; COPLAND: Piano Fantasy (1955-57) – Intermission – COPLAND: Piano Fantasy (performance repeated); SHERKIN: Postlude The Music Beyond (2019)* \n*World premieres \nTHE VENUE: 918 Bathurst Centre for Culture\, Arts\, Media and Education is an arts and culture sanctuary in Toronto’s Annex Neighbourhood.

SUMMARY:The Music Gallery Presents: X AVANT New Music Festival XIV: Forward
DESCRIPTION:The Music Gallery presents:\nX AVANT NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL XIV: Forward\nOctober 17-20 2019 \nPurchase Tickets Here: https://www.showclix.com/events/28836?fbclid=IwAR1Ld1RwqjJex2pzRim9qzlwULHKHsD3R14VQ3e5PLKLvvfY-wIAQA5C3Cg \nAlways dedicated to experimental and innovative music\, The Music Gallery moves “Forward” for its fourteenth X Avant festival. Each headliner presents new work – including three world premieres. \nThis festival centres on artists taking\, or attempting to take\, the next step in their work\, career or practice. For some\, “the next step” is a graduation to bigger ideas\, longer tours and more money. In creative music\, moving forward with art is associated with instrumental mastery and developing a personal musical vocabulary. \nRegardless of genre\, all forward paths in music require an artist to dedicate mind\, body and soul. Sometimes life challenges and structural inequities make it difficult or impossible to take the next step. There is no single way forward: twists\, turns and dead ends await. We explore this theme with four headliners who present new work\, plus two panel discussions. \nLido Pimienta / Willi Williams / New Chance\nSarah Hennies / Germaine Liu\nSound of the Mountain / OKAN / Holy Hum\nToshimaru Nakamura / Bea Labikova / Rebecca Hennessy /\nHeather Saumer / Tetuzi Akiyama / Karen Ng \nAll shows are at the Music Gallery\, located at 918 Bathurst Centre for Culture\, Arts\, Media and Education. \nEARLYBIRD PASS $50

JACKSON RELEASES FIRST JAZZ CD AS LEADER IN OVER 12 YEARS \nToronto Release: “Live at Freedom of Sound”\, Saturday November 16\, 8pm. Doors at 7pm\nTickets: Early Bird $25 (to November 8); Advance $30 (November 16) \nMore on D.D. Jackson and launch or “Live at Freedom of Sound”:\nOttawa\, Canada-born\, New York area- based D.D. Jackson’s new CD “Live at Freedom of Sound” captures a recent solo piano performance that took place at the Montclair-based festival organized by drummer Pheeroan Aklaff’s Seed Artists. “I had actually just gotten off a plane from L.A. after winning an Emmy Award the night before and was definitely tired. However\, something that evening just clicked\, and the performance became an enjoyable and surprisingly effective representation of where my solo piano playing is today.” \nThat journey has taken him from a career that’s now included 13 CD’s as leader or co-leader (including two for the major label BMG)\, performing all over the world with prominent artists ranging from David Murray\, Jack De Johnette\, and Billy Bang\, to MacArthur Genius Grant drummer Dafnis Prieto and James Carter. But why the long gap since his last jazz recording as leader? “The making of my last CD (Serenity Song\, 2007 Justin Time Records) was right around the time I began settling down and raising a family\, and it was appealing to finally be in one place for extended periods of time instead of constantly on the road touring”\, Jackson states. “At the same time\, I was also gaining an increasing fascination with technology and began writing more and more for media\, which was a perfect gig for a homeward-bound dad.” \nJackson’s work\, in fact\, culminated in his 2nd Emmy Award as a television composer just this past May (among his 5 total Emmy nominations to date)\, and he also struck up a regular working relationship with New York-based The Roots on various projects (and appeared on two of their most recent CD’s\, participating as arranger\, pianist\, and producer on different tracks). Jackson has also been passionate about teaching during this period\, first as an award-winning professor at Hunter College; at the Harlem School of the Arts (where he taught jazz prodigy Matthew Whitaker and the “The Voice” finalist We’ McDonald\, among many); and now at Brooklyn College\, where he’s been helping with their new Global Jazz Masters degree and also teaching Media Scoring. \nAll the while\, though\, Jackson continued playing and performing. “Live at Freedom of Sound” is a tight set of 5 compositions\, ranging from re-imaginings of older material (including “For Don” – originally written by Jackson in tribute to his late mentor\, the jazz pianist/composer Don\, now re-dedicated to another great influence on Jackson\, the late baritone saxophonist Hamiet Bluiett; and “ Richard’s Tune” – a Don Pullen composition Don originally wrote for Muhal Richard Abrams)… \nFor tickets and more for information please visit www.calibanartstheatre.com . \nCDs will be available at the show and at http://ddjackson.bandcamp.com.\nMore info on D.D. at: http://ddjackson.com
