July 11, Big Sunflower
From familiar to abstract, progressive jazz group Big Sunflower dares to learn, to explore new ways of expressing jazz and popular music- verily, to make art.
Big Sunflower's first CD, recorded live and in studio by Cole Wieland in 2007--features a blend of standards and jazz fare, featuring takes on Cole Porter's "Dream Dancing" and Hancock's "Maiden Voyage," a powerful piano-led interpretation of "Israel," (that does not sound at all like Birth of the Cool), a straight up, bop-inspired live performance of "In Walked Bud," and gritty, funky renditions of Monk's "Well, You Needn't" and Hubbard's "Little Sunflower."...(click here)
July 18, Ticket to Brasil
"Dance, sway, or just sit back and relax while listening to an intoxicating tapestry of elegant Bossa Nova, groovy Brazilian Jazz and hot Samba".
Ticket To Brasil is an unique international ensemble founded by guitarist Pavel Jany. The group has performed at a number of national and international events, and has opened for such renowned artists as Karrin Allyson and Cibelle. Revealing bossa nova as an amalgam of Afro-Brazilian samba, European classical music and American jazz, Ticket To Brasil presents this music as a distinct genre that is elegant, sophisticated and timeless.
