FESTIVAL

NORWEGIAN DIGITAL JAZZ FESTIVAL 
Presenting 15 artists over 5 weeks
NOV 6 –DEC 11

Sites & Sounds from Big Ears, the dynamic new streaming initiative launched by the Big Ears Festival, will continue with a new slate of  post-election programming that includes a 5-week, 15-show Norwegian Digital Jazz Festival, an incantatory performance by the legendary artist and two-time Big Ears alumni Lonnie Holley, and an acoustic guitar summit delving deep into rich American traditions with a contemporary edge.

Big Ears is teaming up with MAI:JAZZ (Stavanger International Jazz Festival), Oslo’s Sentralen Performing Arts Center, and Hes & Falck to present the Norwegian Digital Jazz Festival, a 15-program series launching on Friday, November 6 and spanning six weeks — Big Ears is the exclusive North American presenter of the Norwegian festival. Norway has been home to a rich and fertile jazz scene for decades, first brought into the international spotlight by saxophonist Jan Garbarek’s recordings for ECM Records. The Norwegian Digital Jazz Festival offers a multi-faceted portrait of the country’s unique jazz scene, over seven double bill concerts, featuring artists including pianist Bugge Wesseltoft, saxophonist Tryvge Seim, guitarist Eiven Aarset, and trumpeters Mathias Eick and Nils Petter Molvær, plus an evening with pianist Tord Gustavsen. Each performance has been elegantly filmed by the leading Nordic manager/promoter Musikkprofil at the Sentralen in Oslo, Norway.

Acclaimed visual and performing artist Lonnie Holley will be joined by a remarkable ensemble featuring cellists Ben Sollee and Dave Eggar, guitarists Christopher Paul Stelling and Phil Faconti, fiddler Evie Andrus, and drummer Jordan Ellis. The band — assembled from musicians across the region — made this special recording set-up in the round at Knoxville’s The Mill & Mine, one of the cornerstone venues at the  annual Big Ears Festival.

Marisa Anderson, William Tyler, and Yasmin Williams — three of today’s most creative guitarists — gather for filming at the Loghaven Artist Residency. Performing solo, duo and trio at this bucolic South Knoxville site, the musicians each showcase their unique musical vision on the instrument and then come together in collaboration.

Shows in the Norwegian Digital Jazz Festival are $8 (plus service charges) in advance, or you can purchase a pass to the entire series for $50 (plus service charges). Please note: Big Ears is only streaming the Norwegian festival for North American audiences. Tickets for Lonnie Holley & Friends and Marisa Anderson, William Tyler & Yasmin Williams are $14 (plus service charges) in advance. ‘Sites & Sounds from Big Ears’ shows will be hosted on Watch.Mandolin.com.

For those unable to watch the initial stream, each will be available on replay for 48 hours after the initial stream (note: tickets may only be purchased, however, before or during the initial broadcast).

Grammy Winner Ramsey Lewis in Soul Town 
Live Stream
Saturday December 26 at 1PM CT

GRAMMY® Award-winning pianist and NEA Jazz Master Ramsey Lewis presents an exclusive concert experience. Ramsey Lewis in Soul Town. Hear Ramsey’s version of some of the great Motown and soul hits as well as his own soulful funky classics. The “Saturday Salon” takes place on the last Saturday of every month and features a 60-minute performance at 1:00 PM Central Time.

At a time when the power of music and art can serve as a unifying force, Ramsey Lewis is looking to reignite the fire and power that can only come from a connection between the musician and the audience. A portion of the proceeds from each performance benefits The Jazz Foundation of America. The JFA is one of the leading non-profit organizations focused on aiding jazz musicians in this international time of need. Tickets are $20 and available at stageit.com/JanetLewis/92007

 

Van Gelder Studio

Van Gelder Studio, the legendary recording studio home to hundreds of jazz icons from John Coltrane to Herbie Hancock, has announced the launch of “Live from Van Gelder Studio,” a new virtual music series that will stream live from VanGelder.live.

Live from Van Gelder Studio is expected to continue through 2021 with a 10-show immersive and interactive program. The series will feature talent from original seminal recordings joined by multi-generational artists who will pay tribute to important records that were originally put to tape within the four walls of the studio. Tickets can be purchased directly on the site for $15. 2021 shows will be announced in the near future.

Performances will be live streamed using a new technology built from the ground up that is true to the Rudy Van Gelder sound. It will allow audiences to fully experience the unique studio and its sound in their homes. Upcoming experiences will be crafted to make the audience and musicians feel like they are at an actual live performance.

Live from Van Gelder Studio is created and produced by a team of jazz industry veterans including:

• Five-time Grammy Award-winner Don Sickler, who produced many Van Gelder-recorded artists including Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard and Cindy Blackman Santana.
• Phil Coady, producer of The Ultimate Blue Train, which was created while he was the lead producer in the Microsoft MS4Music Group and where he and Van Gelder first connected.
• Sam Kaufman, who as a talent agent worked with Van Gelder-recorded artists including Ray Charles, Pharoah Sanders and Jason Moran.
• Maureen Sickler, distinguished associate and long-time assistant engineer for Van Gelder, who now carries on the traditions forged in their 30+ year collaboration.

Save CATALINA JAZZ CLUB amid COVID-19!

In response to the citywide closures, the Catalina Jazz Club has set up this digital tip jar in our fight to survive. Their doors have been closed since  March 14th, and each day the fight grows harder to pay faithful staff, the talented tech crew and consummate chefs what they’re worth — which is everything. But there are some blues you just can’t sing away, so they humbly ask that you contribute whatever you can to help cover the rent of our Sunset hot spot and spare us from having to go dark for good. While great music can soothe the soul, it’s your gracious donation, no matter the size, that fills their heart. Please contribute at GoFundMe.com/SaveCatalinaJazzClub
They’ll be sure to have your table ready.
All their love,
Catalina, Manny, and the Staff
