Nona Hendryx To Host Global,

Multi-Platform Virtual Event for
“Radical Healing” Set for August 14, 2020 with a
Special Guest Appearance by Angela Davis
Artists Partner with International Feminist Organization Just Associates.org (JASS) to
Kick-Off a Series of Music + Spoken Word for a World in Crisis

Singer, songwriter, and activist Nona Hendryx in conjunction with Nubian Q.U.E.E.N.X.,have partnered with the international feminist group JASS (Just Associates) to present a “Musical Meditation and Celebration of Radical Healing” on Friday, August 14, 2020. This global, multi-artist virtual online event is designed to share and affirm our connections and power in a time of uprising and crisis through music, dance, poetry, and guided meditations. Featuring female performing entities from around the world, including noted activist, academic, and author Angela Davis, this one-of-a-kind event will be live-streamed on the StreamYard platform beginning at 4:00 p.m. EST/1:00 p.m. PST/2:00 MT/7:00 p.m. UCT.

JASS was founded in 2003 by activists, organizers, popular educators, and scholars from five continents, including Lisa VeneKlasen, who recently stepped down as Executive Director, and Shereen Essof, the current Executive Director, who are connected by their commitment to grassroots feminist organizing and justice through shared political struggles from Central America to Zimbabwe, South Africa, and the Philippines.

Hendryx – a former member of Grammy Hall of Fame trio LaBelle – and VeneKlasen have long wanted to collaborate politically on an event spotlighting women’s often invisible role in the ongoing fight to address unfinished struggles of our liberation – violence, inequality, racism, discrimination, stigma, and more. Initially planning to partner to celebrate Women’s History Month in March, then Black Music Month in June, they postponed plans when the country was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as by the global outcry for racial and social justice. With numerous artists and organizations taking to online platforms for performances and fundraisers, Hendryx and VeneKlasen decided that August was a stronger opportunity for the two women-focused entities to address both the hopeful possibilities and trauma and pain of these times.

“By radical healing, we’re acknowledging the power of music to lift our spirits and connect us across all our differences,” says Hendryx. “We recognize that we can’t build and sustain strong movements for the long haul with broken people who bear the brunt of crises and violence. We need moments of shared joy and connections as much as information and strategy.” Adding that women’s role at the forefront of numerous movements has been powerful and consistent, she also notes, “some of the most amazing music ever created has been birthed from struggle.”

Hendryx will perform with New York-based collective Nubian Q.U.E.E.N.X. (Quantum, Unique, Evolving, Essence of Nubian Sistas), a musical meditation on the affirmation of healing traumas of the past and present while answering questions and exploring ways to move forward. First presented at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., in September 2019 with special guests Divinity Roxx, Be Steadwell, Liza Jessie Peterson, the group will be joined by Sophia Ramos for the August 14thperformance. Q.U.E.E.N.X. is a multi-generational, multi-disciplinary blending of music, spoken word, hip-hop, funk, rock, and avant-garde. The group has been hailed for its unique performances that embrace a broad range of audiences, particularly the African American, Latinx, Indigenous Natives, and LGBTQI communities.

Also joining Nubian Q.U.E.E.N.X. for this special presentation in radical healing will be noted women artists from around the globe, including South African actress and poet Lebo Mashile; indigenous Guatemalan singer Sara Carruchich; Zimbabwean singer and Mbira player, Hope Masike; and Filipina theater actress and singer Monique Wilson.

Composer and pianist David Haney, and multi instrumentalist, Dave Storrs, present a revolutionary way to explore Classical music. 
Most compositions are developed using some degree of improvisation. By playing (experimenting) with some of the great passages of music from Brahms and Ravel, Haney and Storrs present a window into the rare hybrid world of composed and improvised music, in which both disciplines inspire each other. Enjoy this modern look at classical music.

David Haney

Born in Fresno, CA in 1955, David Haney grew up in Calgary, Canada. He studied composition for five years with Czech American composer Tomáš Svoboda. He has been a member of the Society of Oregon composers and his works have been performed in Europe, the United States, Canada, and South America. Since 1997, the following improvising artists have worked with Haney on his projects: Roswell Rudd. Julian Priester, John Tchicai, Steve Swell, Roy Campbell, Bud Shank, Wolter Wierbos, Han Bennik, Andrew Cyrille, Bernard Purdie, Marvin Bugalu Smith, Gerry Hemingway, Dylan van der Schyff, Buell Neidlinger, Dominic Duval, Adam Lane, Michael Bisio, Paul Blaney, Perry Robinson, and Johannes Bauer. As a leader, Haney has over 20 albums on CIMP (USA), Cadence (USA), SLAM (UK), NoSeSo (Argentina), La Gorda (Argentina, and Canada Jazz Studio (Canada).
“Mr. Haney is a pianist drawn to experimental settings, and he creates a promising one here.” –The New York Times
“Haney’s jagged and contemplative clusters of notes, sometimes [create] a brooding, pensive mood reminiscent of a Jackson Pollock painting and other times [set] forth a forward momentum that reminds you that this music comes from that essential kernel of jazz creation: swing.” –ICE Magazine
“One of the most inventive pianists in the USA…”–Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery
“a pianist whose accomplishments far outranks his public profile…”–Peter Monaghan, Earshot Jazz
“Pianist Haney has played inside and out, from Bud Shank to John Tchicai.”–The Village Voice
“At times, Haney’s dexterity can sound like piano for four hands, or more accurately music for piano and percussion, though never in overwhelming fashion.” –Laurence Donohue-Greene

 

Dave Storrs

After more than three decades in the music business, jazz drummer Dave Storrs has amassed a wealth of experience and numerous recording credits. In the early ’80s, he began recording albums as a headliner, with the release of 1983’s Ross Island. He released Report From a Log in 1987, then found his own record label in 1995, Louie Records in Oregon. By 2001 the label had released 19 records, some of which received critical and commercial attention on the national level, including albums by Rob Blakeslee and the Tone Sharks, which Storrs also leads. He continued to release a number of albums in the late ’90s, both as a member of the Tone Sharks and as a headliner in his own right. In 2001 he released his first solo percussion album, Another Thing, which featured Storrs on all instruments, as well as production and engineering.

Such strange times we are in… I was just thinking that it had been a long time since I sent an email, and that I should do so just to check in and see how everyone is doing. And the next day –
 Bill called with a gig!
An actual live concert – something I thought might never again happen! And – something new – a drive-in concert. The band will be socially distanced on the lawn, and patrons will attend in their cars.
We are so excited to see you and to see each other.
And to make music together! It is a wonderful band –
Bill Cunliffe’s Latin Jazz ensemble Imagination (Bill, Kye Palmer, trumpet, Brian Scanlon, saxophone, Francisco Torres, trombone, Oskar Cartaya, bass, Giancarlo Anderson, percussion, Dick Weller, drums.)
I am delighted to have been invited as guest vocalist with these fabulous musicians. Details below. See you there!

About Justin Kauflin
Justin Kauflin is a “jazz pianist who favors a clarity of touch and ideas, rarely spinning into an orbit he can’t control” (The New York Times). After losing his sight at the age of 11, Kauflin gravitated towards playing jazz piano, despite having a classical background in violin & piano. He received top honors at jazz festivals nationally and began performing professionally by age 15. In 2004, he attended William Paterson University in New Jersey and while studying there, was taken under the tutelage of the legendary Clark Terry (2010 Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement in Jazz) and played in the Clark Terry Ensemble. He garnered numerous awards such as the VSA International Young Soloist, selected as a semifinalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Competition, and voted “Jazz Artist of the Year” in VEER Magazine. Kauflin is also a composer, producer, educator and Quincy Jones & Yamaha Artist. He currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.

A NEW INITIATIVE DEDICATED TO FOSTERING CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS AMONG WOMXN MUSICIANS AROUND THE WORLD
Initiative comprises four sessions a year in which 10–12 musicians regularly convene to share their experiences, while also each pairing with a fellow participant to develop a newly commissioned duo work to be premiered in a season-finale virtual showcase

Inaugural M³ session participants are:
Co-founded in spring 2020 by vocalist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Jen Shyu and vocalist-composer Sara Serpa, M³—Mutual Mentorship for Musicians—was conceived as an initiative that empowers and elevates womxn musicians around the world (including BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ across generations) in a new model of mentorship comprising four sessions per year with each session culminating in a performance of new collaborative commissions. With the aim of building new paradigms of mentorship, M³ encourages the reciprocal, intergenerational exchange of knowledge and experience; formation of new collaborations with musicians outside of one’s inner circle; and cultivation of new ideas and formats for solo and collaborative performance, whether live or virtual. The initiative was announced by its co-founders on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 during a Facebook Live event hosted by Larry Blumenfeld titled “What Mentorship Means Now,” presented as part of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem’s Jazz and Social Justice series. The event can be viewed at:

The Denver Jazz Intensive not only provides an in-depth course in jazz technique, it also offers participants the chance to perform and record with a professional Denver rhythm section in a world-class recording studio. By spreading the events across a ten-day period, you can really dig into the material and make measurable progress. And to ensure maximum one-on-one interaction, we will be limiting attendance to just 12 participants.
This hybrid online/in-person event will be presented over two weekends between August 14-23
