SUMMARY:D.D. Jackson Solo and with Guests - Toronto CD Release
DESCRIPTION:Caliban Arts and Trane Live Present:\nThe Trane Trilogy Concerts : Part 1 – D.D. Jackson and Guests\nLive at 918 Bathurst Street Centre \nPurchase Tickets Here  \nCaliban Arts and Trane Live in association with 918 Bathurst Street Toronto launches The Trane Trilogy Concerts in 3 Parts. Three concerts for each Part. The concerts present the incredible creative and influential works of both local and international recording artists. Please stay tuned and connected for more details on upcoming presentations. \nPart 1/Concert 1 Features:\nEMMY- AND JUNO-AWARD-WINNING CANADIAN JAZZ PIANIST/COMPOSER D.D. 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

SUMMARY:New Music Concerts and the Music Gallery present The Mouths That Roar: Gabriel Dharmoo + Janice Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Purchase Tickets Here \n$35 Regular\n$25 MG Members\, Seniors\, Arts Workers\n$10 Students \nAn outrageous double bill of vocal pyrotechnics featuring Gabriel Dharmoo and Janice Jackson. Montreal composer/performer Gabriel Dharmoo’s Anthropologies imaginaires (Imaginary Anthropologies) is a solo vocal performance that interacts with a video mockumentary. Various odd or isolated vocal expressions from around the world are woven together and revisited through imaginary folklore and experimental voice techniques\, showcasing the virtuosity\, versatility\, and strangeness of the human voice. The result is a humorous and disturbing exploration of post-colonialism\, post-exoticism\, cultural extinction\, globalization\, normalized racism and cultural appropriation. Halifax-based soprano Jackson’s Voice Dance is a program of solo vocal compositions\, many written especially for her. Over the past 30 years Jackson has performed and perfected a large body of solo voice pieces from composers around the world. From pure extended vocal techniques (Marie Pelletier) to theatre without words (Alice Ping Yee Ho) to solo mini opera (James Rolfe) these pieces are guaranteed to excite\, stimulate\, and amuse.

SUMMARY:The Music Gallery Presents: Ziibiwan “Giizis” Album Release with Phedre and Melody McKiver
DESCRIPTION:$15 Regular/$13 Advance/$10 Students\, Members\nadd $5 to your ticket for a download code for Giizis\n \nPurchase tickets here: https://www.showclix.com/event/ziibiwan/listing?fbclid=IwAR0JE4h7SMCZamvUAuH7ClV3VdHA-DoycEUJPSwXC2T6E2XmAkGBXHPtp0Y \nAnishinaabe experimental-electronic producer Ziibiwan has travelled a long road in just a few short years. Whether in their own music or in DJ sets\, their spacious rhythmscapes evoke tranquility\, the natural world and wisdom from elder generations within modern contexts. For their much-anticipated debut album release Giizis\, Ziibiwan has gathered a few of their close allies to celebrate the occasion. \nSome of Toronto’s most brilliantly experimental pop comes from Phedre. Their richly-textured compositions have grown into instrumental sets of high-bpm rhythmic soundscapes\, performed live using sequencers and synthesizers. The ever-changing bass-heavy sets pay tribute to club\, breakbeat\, jungle and techno\, while maintaining Phèdre’s own unique sense of musical beat exploration. \nMelody McKiver has worked with Ziibiwan for a number of years and is no stranger to the MG\, having last appeared on our stage alongside Lido Pimienta six years ago. Melody’s musical work integrates electronics with Western classical music to shape a new genre of Anishinaabe compositions. Their debut EP Reckoning was nominated for an Indigenous Music Award\, and they were a participant in the Banff Centre for the Arts’ inaugural Indigenous Classical Music Gathering. Melody is involved in their community as a mentor with the Indigenous Music Mentorship Program\, and is employed as a youth worker in Sioux Lookout\, providing mental health and cultural supports to First Nations students.

There is a deep need in this city and beyond to speak honestly about programming\, curation and producing in a way that organizations can both benefit and learn from the discussions. This panel will explore questions around what programmers and curators (ie. people with power) from multiple artistic disciplines are doing (as well as not doing)  in their organizations to program\, hire and work in a more inclusive and intersectional manner. The evening also features a performance by Carly Gordon and friends’ work which combines ASL and opera. \nCuratorial statement: \n“Personally\, I am both frustrated and incredibly hopeful for the future of the arts in Toronto. There is a beautiful community in this city so willing to make changes and contribute to the artists who live here. We are so afraid to have both our errors become public. Failure is not allowed \nLet’s make mistakes and be honest about it. Hindsight is 2020 as they say. \nThis is a period of time where equity-seeking folks are struggling to be heard without fear of pushback from the art forms that they exist and create within\, which are often white-led organizations. Can we as the audience\, the granting bodies\, the foundation funding arts\, the donors funding art\, ask for art that reflects not only the people in our communities but also the voices and opinions of those art-makers? We are in a period of time where any questions that arise around what the intention of an organizations’ programming can become heavily scrutinized. Where is the transparency? Who are the voices leading these organizations? How are they supporting artists in their programming? When arts programmers look inward and criticize ourselves\, do they end up patting ourselves on the back because of checked-off boxes\, or do they realize that there is more hard work to be done? \nMaking mistakes in the arts feels difficult but is a very necessary part of growth. Let’s take space to discuss the successes of art-makers and organizations who are making the necessary efforts to do better\, grow and what success looks like after making mistakes. This is an opportunity to hear and discuss examples of positive success in working to be more transparent in our efforts to develop arts programming.” \nModerator: Cole Alvis\nPanelists: Ian Cusson\, Menon Dwarka\, Teiya Kasahara\, Asad Raza \nPerformance: Carly Gordon and ASL + Opera Project

The first of two intimate\, seated concerts at the gorgeous\, reverberant 918 Bathurst Centre will also see the series return to the sounds of its early years\, with a lineup spanning genres like shoegaze\, psych-rock and dream-pop.\nFresh off an appearance at this fall’s POP Montreal festival\, Montreal neo-shoegaze duo Bodywash return to Toronto for their first in-person show since the pandemic shut down all live performances\, just a few months after the release of their critically acclaimed debut album\, 2019’s Comforter. Like fellow Montrealers Braids\, who contributed mixing-board wisdom to Comforter\, Bodywash bring a fresh 21st century perspective to the edgy ambience of the 1990s.\nWith a lineup including some Toronto indie/psych scene veterans\, Polite Society also make their return to the stage for the band’s first concert since the release of their self-titled debut album\, on vinyl via UK label Spiral Void.\nAnd a Wavelength show wouldn’t be the same without the trippy visuals of the series’ long-time in-house projection artist\, General Chaos Visuals\, whose colourful visuals will fill the former Buddhist temple that houses the 918 Bathurst Centre.\n—-\nAbout the artists:\nBodywash was formed in 2014 when Chris Steward and Rosie Long Decter began jamming in a basement rehearsal room at McGill University in Montreal. Bonding over a shared affection for shoegaze and dream-pop\, the two found an immediate chemistry. When it came time to make a full-length album\, Bodywash enlisted Nigel Ward to record the LP. The album Comforter was mixed by Taylor Smith and Austin Tufts of the band Braids\, and was mastered by Evan Tighe. The result is the perfect insomniac’s record\, a late-night album of emotional extremes\, from the enveloping warmth of shoegaze to the stark electronics of ‘90s trip-hop and IDM. Guitars blur in and out\, melodies vanish and appear\, synths blinking like lights in a fog. It’s an album of obsessive detail buried in a blur of reverb. It draws you in and pushes you away in equal measure.\nPolite Society is a Canadian foursome comprised of psych and avant-rock devotees whose collaborations likely yield the expected and unexpected (but always polite) results. Their name is purely coincidental to the present utopian state of the world.\n—\nPoster design by Juliana Carlevaris
