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.”

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

SUMMARY:THE KINGSTON TRIO
DESCRIPTION:Fans of legendary folk icons The Kingston Trio can re-discover their timeless music all over again\, after a forced nearly two-year hiatus due to pandemic restrictions as the group returns to their national tour. All three current members\, Mike Marvin\, Tim Gorelangton and Buddy Woodward have intrinsic links to and experience with the original group: Mike is the adopted son of founding member Nick Reynolds\, who was also his musical mentor; Tim\, a close friend since boyhood\, is one of the few musicians outside the Trio who has recorded with Nick Reynolds; and Buddy\, who has performed with longtime Kingston Trio member George Grove. Many of their personal memories recall the iconic trio’s performances and journey as folk music made its extraordinary ascent to the pinnacle of popular culture – and the top of the music charts.  They’ll perform such timeless classics “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” and “Tom Dooley”. \nSponsored by Andy and Nancy Bryant.

SUMMARY:I Am An American - Live
DESCRIPTION:I Am An American – Live\nStories of Exclusion and Belonging \nIn celebration of the diversity brought to our country by Americans of Asian ancestry\, we at The Immigrant Story invite you to join us on April 15 for “I Am An American Live.” This event is part of the programming by the Oregon Rises Above Hate coalition\, with the aim of drawing attention to the historic xenophobia experienced by the Asian American community in Oregon and across the U.S. This history of systemic bias includes policies that have resulted in discrimination\, incarceration\, erasure and a recent increase in hate crimes. \n“I Am An American” will begin with four storytellers sharing their experiences of what it means to belong in America\, even while at times being excluded. Tellers from a diversity of backgrounds from across Asia tell stories of how our government policies have affected them as individuals. They go on to relate how these experiences in their own lives inspired them to become agents of change. These powerful stories will inform us about an important aspect of our past as a nation and offer an opportunity for reflection on our collective history. \nAfter a brief intermission\, the evening will continue with original pan-Asian music composed and presented by Balamurali Balu (Bala)\, a well-known composer in the Tamil film industry\, combining traditional sounds from India\, China and Japan with Western classical orchestral harmonies. We have assembled eminent musicians from the Portland area who have worked collaboratively to create this unique concert. The performance will celebrate the rich cultures brought to the United States by multiple generations of immigrants and refugees. \nJoin us for an evening of stories and music from Oregonians\, about the places they built\, the traditions they brought and what it has meant to truly belong in their hometown. \nThis free event is made possible by a generous contribution by Anne Naito-Campbell. Additional funds for Programming has been provided by Ronald Naito Foundation and by a grant from the Oregon Heritage Commission and Oregon Parks and Recreation. \nSponsors\nAnne Naito-Campbell\nRonald Naito Foundation\nOregon Heritage Commission\nOregon Parks and Recreation\nOregon Rises Above Hate \nPartners:\nOregon Historical Society\nJapanese American Museum of Oregon\nLan Su Chinese Garden\nPortland Chinatown Museum\nSt. Andrew Lutheran Church

SUMMARY:Seffarine
DESCRIPTION:Seffarine takes its name from the ancient metalworking souq in Fes\, Morocco\, birthplace of vocalist Lamiae Naki\, which is famous for the complex rhythms that ring out from the blacksmiths’ hammers\, and where her family is well known as masters continuing the tradition today. Seffarine’s music embraces and extends Morocco’s musical collision between Arabic\, Iberian and West African cultures\, forging vibrant original music deeply rooted in Naki and oud player/flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp’s backgrounds in Arab-Andalusi and flamenco music. Their companions\, who hail from Iran\, Spain and the US\, infuse the sound with textured instrumentation and inspired improvisation. Sweeping kamancheh (Persian spike-fiddle) ornamentation plays off gritty bass grooves and fiery flamenco footwork\, with Lamiae’s fluidly riveting voice at the center\, sending up sheets of cascading Andalusi melodies punctuated by the catchy hooks of North African Chaabi\, sung in her native Moroccan Arabic. \nAmong the highlights of Seffarine’s performance is passionate and percussive flamenco dance by renowned dancer Manuel Gutierrez from Córdoba\, Spain. \nSeffarine has performed at prestigious events and venues around the world\, like the Lake Tahoe World Concert\, winning over audiences from Indonesia to Spain. They have brought their musical vision and cultural knowledge to community audiences and schools\, including a recent tour of rural Montana schools on the Fort Peck Reservation. The ensemble has a strong history of support from the field: in 2017\, Seffarine was selected by the Western Arts Alliance as one of three Launchpad Artists. Their debut album\, “De Fez a Jerez” was supported by a grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council\, allowing the group to work and record in Jerez\, Spain with several of the living legends of flamenco music. The album received international acclaim and placed in the Transglobal World Music Charts top 20 world music releases\, selected by a panel of 43 world music experts\, and was named one of the “best African albums of 2015” by prestigious African music blog Afribuku. \n“gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco\, Arabic and Andalusian music\, Persian classical\, and jazz” -Bass Player Magazine “an ear-caressing blend of sounds from Spain and north Africa\, spiced with a bit of fiery instrumentation and percussion.” -SoundRoots \n“Un placer para los oídos” (“A Treat for the Ears”) -Afribuku (Spain) \nRuntime\nFirst Set: 45 min\nIntermission: 20 Min\nSecond Set: 45 min \n  \nManuel Gutierrez – Flamenco Dance\, live with Seffarine at The Reser Apr 21\, 2023:
