SUMMARY:Kenny Broberg
DESCRIPTION:FRANCK Prelude\, Fugue\, and Variation in B Minor\, op. 18\, FWV 30\nCHOPIN Ballade No. 4 in F Minor\, op. 52\nMEDTNER Sonata No. 7\, op. 25\, The Night Wind \nHailed as a pianist capable of “pulling a palette of moods from every register” (Indianapolis Star)\, Kenny Broberg brings his inventive\, intelligent\, and intense performance style to The Reser stage. \nBoth rapturous and melancholic\, Franck’s Prelude\, Fugue\, and Variation in B Minor offers listeners an emotional sweep that belies the work’s formal title\, while Chopin’s Ballade No. 4 in F Minor evokes the candlelit salons of 19th-century Paris. Closing the program is Nikolai Medtner’s “Night Wind” Sonata — a relentless frenzy of menacing\, nightmarish music that tests the performer’s physical and expressive limits. \nRuntime: 70 min no intermission \nRead our Covid Guidelines for attending our concerts/events.\nRead Program Notes \n

SUMMARY:Blind Boys of Alabama
DESCRIPTION:The Blind Boys of Alabama have the rare distinction of being recognized around the world as both living legends and modern-day innovators. They are not just gospel singers borrowing from old traditions; the group helped to define those traditions in 20th century and almost single-handedly created a new gospel sound for the 21st. Since the original members first sang together as kids at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind in the late 1930s (including Jimmy Carter\, who leads the group today)\, the band has persevered through seven decades to become one of the most recognized and decorated roots music groups in the world. \nTouring throughout the South during the Jim Crow era of the 1940s and 1950s\, the Blind Boys flourished thanks to their unique sound\, which blended the close harmonies of early jubilee gospel with the more fervent improvisations of hard gospel. In the early 1960s\, the band sang at benefits for Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, and were a part of the soundtrack to the Civil Rights movement. But as the years passed\, gospel fans started to drift away and follow the many singers who had originated in the church but were now recording secular popular music. And the Blind Boys\, who refused many offers to ‘cross over’ to secular music\, also saw their audiences dwindle. However\, the Blind Boys persevered and their time came again\, starting in the 1980s with their starring role in the Obie Award-winning musical “The Gospel at Colonus\,” which began a new chapter in their incredible history. It’s almost unbelievable that a group of blind\, African-American singers\, who started out touring during a time of whites-only bathrooms\, restaurants and hotels\, went on to win five Grammy® Awards\, a Lifetime Achievement Grammy\, be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame\, and to perform at the White House for three different presidents. \nFew would have expected them to still be going strong—stronger than ever\, even—so many years after they first joined voices\, but they’ve proved as productive and as musically ambitious in recent years as they did in the beginning. In 2001\, they released Spirit of the Century on Peter Gabriel’s Real World label\, mixing traditional church tunes with songs by Tom Waits and the Rolling Stones\, and won the first of their Grammy Awards. The next year they backed Gabriel on his album Up and joined him on a world tour\, although a bigger break may have come when David Simon chose their cover of Waits’ ‘Way Down in the Hole’ as the theme song for the first season of HBO’s acclaimed series The Wire. Subsequent Grammy-winning albums have found them working with the likes of Ben Harper\, Robert Randolph\, Aaron Neville\, Mavis Staples\, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band\, Allen Toussaint and Willie Nelson. \nIn 2013 the band worked with Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver) to release I’ll Find A Way\, a powerful collection of gospel and spiritual songs new and old\, featuring some of the Blind Boys’ most fervent vocals as well as contributions by a new generation of Blind Boys fans\, including Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs\, Patty Griffin\, and Justin Vernon himself. In 2014 the Blind Boys released Talkin’ Christmas!\, a collaboration with Taj Mahal\, that continued the band’s streak of creating original and interesting work. It includes new versions of Christmas standards\, covers of hidden gospel gems\, and seven brand-new holiday songs featuring Money Mark on keyboards\, Taj Mahal on vocals and songwriting collaborations with Stax Records soul legend William Bell. \nIn 2017 the Blind Boys released Almost Home on the band’s own BBOA Records label\, in collaboration with Amazon Music. The 12-song collection serves as a fitting capstone to a seven-decade career that has both defined the sound of the American South and pushed it forward from the 20th century and into the 21st. Almost Home was recorded over four different sessions with four different GRAMMY-winning producers in four different cities. John Leventhal recorded the Blind Boys and their band in New York City\, Vance Powell in Nashville\, Chris Goldsmith in Seattle\, and Los Lobos’ Steve Berlin at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. The album is composed primarily of original songs which focus on the remarkable journey of the band’s two surviving original members at the time\, long-time leader Clarence Fountain (who has since passed away)\, and current leader Jimmy Carter. It features songwriting contributions from an exceptional collection of artists including Valerie June\, North Mississippi Allstars\, Phil Cook\, John Leventhal\, Marc Cohn\, Ruthie Foster\, and more. Almost Home succeeds in looking backwards\, while still sounding as vital and modern as ever. \n2019 brought them back together with Marc Cohn and producer John Leventhal for Work To Do\, a unique collection that combines the songwriting talents of Marc Cohn with the soul-stirring harmonies of the Blind Boys which falls on the heels of more than a year of live collaborative dates. Work To Do is comprised of three studio tracks by Cohn and the Blind Boys (two originals\, including the title track\, and a version of the gospel standard “Walk In Jerusalem”) plus seven intimate live performances recorded at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook\, CT\, during a taping of the PBS series The Kate. Original plans were to release an EP containing the studio tracks\, but the excitement and magic captured during the taping inspired the decision to create this unique hybrid album. \nSince they released their debut single\, “I Can See Everybody’s Mother But Mine\,” on the iconic Veejay label in 1948\, the Blind Boys have been hailed as “gospel titans” by Rolling Stone and have collaborated with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Prince and Lou Reed\, and performed on some of the world’s most prestigious stages. The New York Times said that they “came to epitomize what is known as jubilee singing\, a livelier breed of gospel music\,” adding that “they made it zestier still by adding jazz and blues idioms and turning up the volume\, creating a sound…like the rock ‘n’ roll that grew out of it.” The New Yorker simply called them “legendary.” \nThe Blind Boys’ live shows are roof-raising musical events that appeal to audiences of all cultures\, as evidenced by an international itinerary that has taken them to virtually every continent. The Blind Boys of Alabama have attained the highest levels of achievement in a career that spans over 75 years and shows no signs of diminishing. \nRuntime: 90 min. No intermission.

SUMMARY:PitchBlack
DESCRIPTION:Built Oregon presents PitchBlack 2023 \nElevating\, amplifying\, and supporting Black businesses \nThe PitchBlack pitch competition gives Black entrepreneurs a platform to connect with the broader startup ecosystem — while also awarding them with cash prizes to help their concepts flourish. \nThis year’s event will be held at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts – the first time the event has been held on the west side of the metro area. \n\nWhat if the ‘Whitest City in America’ led the way in bridging the support and amplification of Black-owned businesses? What if the capital talks shift from simply being about money and moved toward the importance of social capital as well? \nThose ideas led Stephen Green to launch the first PitchBlack in Portland\, Oregon\, in 2015\, and since that time\, Portland has been home to five editions of the event. \nAnd this is only the beginning. What started in Portland has expanded to include events in Seattle\, Austin\, and Philadelphia. To date\, 100 founders have pitched their ideas\, more than 1000 people have attended the combined events\, and more than $100\,000 has gone directly to the winning companies. \nIn addition\, the Portland winners alone have gone on to raise an additional $40M in funding since 2015. \n“What started a party to celebrate some founders has grown into a beacon for how cities around the country can unearth\, connect and lift up the talent that already exists in their midst.” – Stephen Green \nAbout Pitch Black \nRuntime: 90 min

SUMMARY:BILL FRISELL FOUR
DESCRIPTION:Bill Frisell Four featuring Gerald Clayton\, Gregory Tardy\, Rudy Royston. \nPresented by PDX Jazz \n\n\n\n\nBill Frisell’s career as a guitarist and composer has spanned more than 40 years and many celebrated recordings\, whose catalog has been cited by Downbeat as “the best recorded output of the decade”. \nTwo years after issuing his acclaimed trio album Valentine\, GRAMMY Award-winning guitarist and composer Bill Frisell returns with Four\, a stunning meditation on loss\, renewal\, and those mysterious inventions of friendship. Frisell’s third album for Blue Note Records proffers new interpretations of previously recorded originals as well as nine new tunes. The session brings together artists of independent spirits and like minds: Blue Note stablemates Gerald Clayton on piano and Johnathan Blake on drums\, and longtime collaborator Greg Tardy on saxophone\, clarinet\, and bass clarinet.  \nFor generations\, critics and peers have recognized Frisell as one of the music’s most treasured participants. Over the years\, he’s garnered praise and attention for his playing as well as the anatomy of his compositions – how he structures a form around often a simple melody or progression\, creating a gesture at once complex and elemental. Four presents this side of his artistry at its most intuitive. \nDuring the lockdown\, like so many prolific artists\, Frisell turned inward. “It was traumatic not to be with people\,” he says\, “so I picked up my guitar\, and my guitar saved me.” For those months\, he wrote stacks of melodies and compositional ideas. By the time he scheduled Four’srecording sessions\, he’d amassed piles of notebooks filled with fragmented music. Laying little more than a sketch of information before his fellow artists\, Frisell encouraged a kind of spontaneous\, cooperative orchestration.  \nWhile Frisell and Tardy have enjoyed a long association of mutual respect and friendship\, the former wondered how their musical familiarity might reactivate alongside two newer energies. Frisell met Clayton when Charles Lloyd asked the guitarist to sit in at a festival some years ago. “That was the first time I’d really played with Gerald\,” he says. “I could feel that trust and respect just instantly.” When Clayton joined Frisell’s trio as a guest during a run at the Vanguard\, their connection intensified. “He would transform things that I’ve played a thousand times\, find pathways through it that I never heard anyone do before.” Similarly\, Frisell felt an immediate kinship when he sat in on a date with Blake.  \nAspects of Four reflect Frisell’s affection for Americana\, and skilled saturation of blues. But what’s poised to give the record its staying is less tangible. “The album is capturing this first moment in time when we were\, all four\, together\, playing these songs\,” he says. “Music is incredible that way because we’ll never play these songs this way again. Once we start playing them live\, they’ll change.”

SUMMARY:American Strings: An Evening with Guy Davis
DESCRIPTION:American Strings: An Evening with Guy Davis. \nHosted by Bob Santelli\, rock historian and Oregon State University’s director of popular music and performing arts\, the American Strings series brings musicians from around the country for an in-depth look at the role stringed instruments play in American music. Each event includes a conversation and live performance from the invited artists. \nSantelli will sit down with two-time\, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues\, a musician\, actor\, author\, and songwriter\, Guy Davis and talk about his career\, music\, and creative process. The interview will be followed by a live performance. \nRun time: 90 min. No intermission. \nGuy uses a blend of Roots\, Blues\, Folk\, Rock\, Rap\, Spoken Word\, and World Music to comment on\, and address the frustrations of social injustice\, touching on historical events\, and common life struggles. His background in theater is pronounced through the lyrical storytelling of songs “God’s Gonna Make Things Over” about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre\, “Welcome to My World”\, and “Got Your Letter In My Pocket”. His storytelling is sometimes painful\, deep\, and real\, an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music\, meant to create thought\, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo fingerpicking. \nGuy won “Keeping The Blues Alive” Award\, and was nominated by The Blues Foundation for Best Acoustic Album of the Year\, Best Acoustic Artist of the Year\, and Best Instrumentalist. In fact\, he’s been nominated nearly two dozen times by the Blues Foundation. \nAmong hundreds of newspaper appearances\, he’s also been featured in articles or reviews by New York Times\, Village Voice\, Boston Globe\, Pulse Magazine\, Blues Magazine\, Acoustic Guitar\, Dirty Linen\, Songlines\, Blues Blast Magazine\, Living Blues\, Down At the Crossroads\, The San Francisco Chronicle\, Association For Independent Music (formerly NAIRD)\, Playboy Magazine\, National Public Radio (NPR)\, “Folk Alley”\, and Sirius. \nWhen asked about his experience as a performer\, Guy has replied\, “There is no tale so tall that I cannot tell it\, nor song so sweet that I cannot sing it.”

Gina’s Spanish-language anthem\, “Siete-D\,” won the grand prize in the John Lennon International Songwriting Contest. \n“Steeped in slow-burn soul and uptempo R&B\,” Gina’s newest EP\, Lightbeam already has NPR under the spell and of a new sound that expands upon her passionate collection of bilingual songs that traverse cumbia\, indie-folk\, blues\, and Latin pop. \n“Chavez’s voice is perfectly suited to reflect all of those experiences and to take us to places where we dare to let our emotional guards down.” (NPR/Felix Contreras) \n“Most striking is Chavez’s ease as she moves between social and love songs\, between North American and Latin genres\, and even between languages: When she passes mid-song from English to Spanish and back\, it’s the most natural thing in the world.“ -The Boston Globe \nSponsored by The Reser Family Foundation.

SUMMARY:Daria Rabotkina
DESCRIPTION:“A pianist full of fire and warmth” (Plain-Dealer)\, Daria Rabotkina takes to The Reser stage for a picturesque program inspired by art and literature. The central movement of Granados’s Goyescas is a melancholy nocturne that displays the composer’s ability to paint cinematic scenes through sound\, while Prokofiev’s immortal Romeo and Juliet examines the beauty and fragility of life and love with some of the piano repertoire’s most heart-melting melodies. And in a work she’s championed in concert halls across the country\, Rabotkina closes the program with Paul Harvey Aurandt’s Sonata in B-flat Minor\, which pays homage to the emotional sweep of Schubert and Rachmaninoff. \nENRIQUE GRANADOS\nQuejas\, o La Maja y el ruiseñor (The Maiden and the Nightingale) from Goyescas\, op. 11 \nSERGEI PROKOFIEV\nTen Pieces from Romeo and Juliet \nPAUL HARVEY AURANDT\nSonata in B-flat Minor
