Jazz Is Everywhere in Boston This Summer, and Lots of It's Free...
July 2008
Boston is one great city to be in this summer if you love jazz, with more free events happening over the next few months than many cities offer in a year. These freebies, many of them outdoors, are in addition to the steady beat of the music that can be heard in dozens of clubs and other venues around town throughout the summer.
A number of special series supported by the Downtown Crossing Partnership, Berklee College of Music, the City of Boston, and others beef up an already busy slate of regular jazz performances with no cover charges in spots that include Wally's Jazz Café, the Top of the Hub Restaurant, Lucky's Lounge, Remington's, and the Colonial Inn in Concord. Thursday night jazz jam sessions are a staple at Matt Murphy's Pub in Brookline, as are Monday jams at Sally O'Brien's in Somerville and Les Zygomates in Boston. Pianist Rusty Scott leads the session at Les Zyg. Check the events calendar on the JazzBoston website for details.

Wesleyan University Center for the Arts Announces its 2007/2008 Season
PERFORMANCES BY RONALD K. BROWN, TURTLE ISLAND STRING QUARTET WITH STEFON HARRIS AND 3 MAJOR WORKS BY ALFREDO JAAR HIGLIGHT SEASON
Wesleyan University's Center for the Arts (CFA), under the direction of Pamela Tatge, announces its 2007-2008 Season. In addition to works presented by Wesleyan faculty and students, the CFA welcomes internationally renowned artist Alfredo Jaar to Zilkha Gallery with some of his major works--a blockbuster show that will be up for the entire semester.
In September, the Breaking Ground Dance Series opens with a world premiere performance by Ronald K. Brown, who made his Connecticut debut at the CFA in 2001, and is now regarded as one of the most important American choreographers working today. Also in September, the CFA Theater hosts the edgy, smart theater ensemble The Civilians, in their highly acclaimed music theater work, Gone Missing, based on actual interviews with people who have literally or figuratively lost something.
Urban Bush Women and Compagnie Jant-Bi--Les Écailles de la Mémoire (Scales of Memory)
Alfredo Jaar
September 14 through December 2
Internationally acclaimed artist and MacArthur Fellow Alfredo Jaar is represented by three works reflecting his ongoing examination of the dichotomy between the authority of the image and its failure to fully convey an event. Muxima (2005), Jaar's first film, is rooted in his love of African music. It poetically portrays the evolving history of Angola through alternate interpretations of a single folk song. The Sound of Silence (2006), a haunting multi-media video installation, confronts the often tortured relationship between public media and private ethics. The third work, Untitled (Newsweek) (1995), is a straightforward photo installation that addresses media coverage of the Rwandan genocide. It deftly demonstrates the power of a single media giant to define what is newsworthy, and thus to shape public opinion.
Who's Looking: Chimp Portraits by Frank Noelker
November 3 through December 2
Frank Noelker has been photographing animals in captivity for many years to show how their lives are completely affected by human intervention. The work in this exhibition centers on chimpanzees retired from biomedical research, the entertainment industry and the pet trade. Noelker visited sanctuaries where the chimps now live a protected life and photographed them in their current situations. His chosen format is akin to studio portraiture. The chimps' heads and shoulders fill each frame; they directly confront us, their eyes hold our gaze. Their sadness, dignity and loneliness are impossible to ignore.

Imagine that the best-loved voices passing through our lives were suspended in the heavens like radio waves. Imagine your Uncle Buddy saying his new rooftop satellite dish had the powers of immaculate reception. Imagine you believed him. Such speculations come to life in Lecesne's testament to the power of story telling, reminding us why it is important for each one of us to tell his or her own story.

KURTIS BLOW AND KRS ONE PARTNER TO PROMOTE "NO PROFANITY DAY" ON AUGUST 9, 2009
A “No Profanity Hip Hop Anniversary Tour” will launch May through July 2008, showcasing Big Daddy Kane, Whodini, Public Enemy and more.
July 2008
Kurtis Blow and other Hip Hop icons are challenging America. For one day: no crime, no violence, no hate, no murders, no sin - and no profanity. Their goals is to have one day of love, peace, unity, kindness, goodness, gentleness and fun with a series of events throughout the coarse of a day.
In the last 30 years, rap has steadily become a cultural phenomenon and its influence dominates as America’s latest offering of pop culture to the world. And now - the Parents Television Council, in partnership with the Enough is Enough Campaign, released shocking new data about BET’s and MTV’s daytime music video programming. As recently as March 2008, children who watched BET's Rap City and 106 & Park and MTV's Sucker Free on MTV were bombarded with adult content - sexual, violent, profane or obscene - once every 38 seconds.
Kurtis Blow comments, “No Profanity Day is a national holiday that is anointed and ordained right from the Bible and God. What would it hurt to have one day of this kind of behavior? It is a challenge for anyone to live like this for 24 hours. Spiritual people are commanded to live this way everyday. Can you make it happen for 24 hours? August 9, 2009 is the day. Also, there is a No Profanity Hip Hop Anniversary Tour launching in May and June of 2008 to start the buzz for the national holiday.”
He continues, “Our scriptural inspiration is Galatians 5:22-23 which says that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”
Supporters of No Profanity Day include Rev. Delman Coates, the NAACP, and thousands of other hip-hop fans and icons.
The anniversary tour will showcase legendary artists and enormous talents that created the rap music genre in the USA starting in May. The tour is sponsored by Visit Florida (www.visitflorida.com) and aims to present three hours of non-stop Hip Hop without profanity.
The series of U.S. and European shows will feature:
Grand Master Mele Mel
Grand Wizard Theodore
The Force MDs
Big Daddy Kane (for selected shows)
Whodini. (for selected shows)
KRS 1 (for selected shows)
The Air Force Crew
Spoonie Gee (for selected shows)
Dana Dane (for selected shows)

In 2005, he was commissioned to write and perform original music as a member of the SFJAZZ Young Composers Project, a group that rehearsed with Ravi Coltrane, Miguel Zenon, Vijay Iyer, and Maria Schneider. At Berklee, Carroll has studied with Hal Crook, Ralph Peterson, and Joe Lovano. His composition "Mighty Aphrodite" appears on the new Jazz Revelation Records release, Common Ground. Visit: myspace.com/pcmus1c.
Wednesday, August 13 – Alex Meek and Shine: From Texas, Meek was first inspired by his father, renowned glass artist Bill Meek. At 8, he started to play the guitar, and soon discovered an interest in bluegrass, Texas swing, and gutbucket roadhouse blues. Meek went on to study with Brandon Gist, a noted blues guitarist from Memphis, as well as Austin-based Gypsy and Western swing guitarist Django Porter, who invited Meek to join his trio for a series of dates in Texas. After enrolling at Berklee in 2005, Meek started Shine, a quartet that performs Gypsy jazz, traditional Gypsy music, original compositions, and swing. The band includes bassist Greg Albert, violinist Claudio Olacella, and clarinetist Mike Sachs. Visit: myspace.com/romipen.

Leader Mika Nishimura, from Tokyo, holds the coveted piano chair in the IAJE Sisters in Jazz Quintet, and was chosen to perform at the Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival at the Kennedy Center.
