Honkfest, Somerville, MA, Oct 5-7
There is something special about a band marching in a parade. It doesn't have to be an "official" marching band, as at Veteran's Day parades or football games. When I lived in Santa Cruz I remember some glorious marches with a delightful cacophony of musicians and street performers. Anyone who has attended a Gay Pride parade knows of what I speak—but so do the people who have attended Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
Sometime in the last few years, this mix of loud brassy music has gotten fused with social concerns, with community activities, and something noisy and edgy and extremely fun. This weekend, in Somerville, MA, there is a "Festival of Activist Street Bands." One of the organizers turns out to be one of my professors from UMass/Boston's College of Public and Community Service, Reebe Garofalo.
So, tonight there are bands in the Abbey Lounge, in Inman Square. Tomorrow, though, there is a day of concerts in Davis Square, from noon to 7pm. And Sunday? Can you say parade? Sets out at noon from Davis Square to Harvard Square, followed by performances at the Harvard Square Oktoberfest. To find out more about the honkfest, check out the honkfest website. If you see Judy and I there, stop by and say, "hello"!

7 octobre 2007 à 17h
Prix: 28.- ; Tarif réduit: 18.-
Réseration et renseignements: +41.22.734.71.93
ENSEMBLE LUCIDARIUM :
Gloria Moretti : chant
Viva Biancaluna Biffi : chant, viola d'arco
Enrico Fink : chant, récitation
Avery Gosfield : flûte à bec, flûte et tambour
Marco Ferrari : flûte à bec, douçaine, chalemie, flûte double
Francis Biggi : viola da mano, viola da penna, cetra, colascione
Elisabetta Benfenati : guitare renaissance
Massimiliano Dragoni : dulcimelo, percussion
Federico Marincola : luth basse, chitarra battente
Chaque communauté juive d'Italie, grande ou petite, a gardé jusqu'à nos jours sa propre tradition musicale. Ces mélodies, la plupart transmises oralement, portent les traces du mélange continu des trois courants les plus répandus en Italie : séfarade, ashkénaze et italien.
En plus, le XVIIIème siècle a marqué un tournant dans l'histoire des Juifs d'Italie : la suppression des ghettos, la participation au mouvement d'indépendance nationale (le Risorgimento) et l'"émancipation" fut une période d'euphorie : on bâtissait de très grandes synagogues et on se consacrait avec ardeur à "moderniser" la musique liturgique, demandant à des compositeurs plus ou moins célèbres d'écrire de nouvelles mélodies avec des arrangements pour orgue et chour, cherchant souvent l'inspiration dans l'opéra lyrique, très à la mode et qui faisait très "italien".
La musique sacrée des Juifs d'Italie est avant tout une histoire de mélanges, d'interactions. Même les compositeurs du XIXème siècle qui ont encore rénové ce répertoire ne l'ont pas oublié. Il est facile de s'en convaincre en écoutant les chants "modernes" qui, aujourd'hui encore, résonnent malgré la Shoah dans les synagogues italiennes et ont gardé l'écho des musiques des siècles passés, depuis la Renaissance.
C'est cet échange, cet enchevêtrement que LUCIDARIUM essaie de raconter.

On Friday, October 12th, BALLIN' THE JACK will play a benefit party for TRIBES, the venerable alternative arts institution in the East Village. BALLIN' THE JACK will perform their unique and upbeat interpretations from the early jazz period as well as inspired originals form their two CD's on the Knitting Factory Label. Perhaps best known for its support of alternative art and poetry, TRIBES also brings music events to the Lower East Side, including helping support the annual Charlie Parker Festival. We are raising funds to further these goals. Please come help support this unique venue's growing vision!
A Gathering of the Tribes is an arts and cultural organization dedicated to excellence in the arts from a diverse perspective. Located on the Lower East Side of New York City, Tribes has been in existence since 1991. In that year, Steve Cannon, poet, playwright, novelist, and retired professor from the City University of New York, converted a portion of his apartment into an informal salon. Tribes encourages the exchange of alternative points of view traditionally overlooked by mainstream media has evolved into a performance venue and meeting place for artists and audiences to come together across all artistic disciplines, all levels of complexity, and all definitions of difference. In this pan-disciplinary, multi-cultural environment, artists exchange ideas, create peer relationships and find mentorship. Tribes additionally organizes an annual outdoor event—The Charlie Parker Festival—to engage members of the community who have seldom, if ever, attended literary or artistic events.
Ballin' The Jack, a creation of New York eclectic reedman, Matt Darriau, creates new interpretations of music from the early swing era. The four horn (seven-piece) Ballin’ The Jack, plays music of the ‘20's to 40's with an emphasis on Ellington, and other unique early jazz artists such as John Kirby. They also create original music inspired by this era as well as working with the early (jazz) roots of R&B. This band of veteran "downtown" players pay detailed attention to the original orchestrations, colors and intent, yet this unique period in jazz provide a creative platform for the band's spontaneous interpretations and interactions, allowing them to explore ways in which early swing, with its often through composed and unusual forms, can inspire contemporary "open" musicians—especially early Ellington, who was working before standard conventions in jazz were established. Conceived for the Tap Bar at New York's Knitting Factory, where they developed their unique esthetic during 1998 -99', Ballin' The Jack now has two CD's out on the Knitting Factory Label. The first, Jungle (1999), explores mostly Ellington with some Basie and John Kirby. The term "Jungle sound " with its growling brass and heavy percussion grooves, was used to describe Ellington's music from his Cotton Club orchestra. This CD features Ellington alumnus, trombonist Art Baron, a master of mutes and growl techniques. Ballin' The Jack's new CD The big Head, is a year-end best on Gary Giddins' Village Voice picks list. With 16 tracks the band further refines its unique approach, placing more emphasis on original material and discovering new areas to expand improvisationally on five Ellington and other early swing tracks.
Ballin' The Jack has toured numerous times in Europe including the North Sea Jazz Festival, 2002 Newport Jazz Festival, Chicago Jazz Fest. Recently the band has been performing a new project of music form the Marx Btother movies featuring the character and sax of Roy Nathason from the jazz Passengers! Ballin' remains committed to playing music that is challenging, yet makes people want to move with the groove!

"Of the many centennial tributes to Duke, this could be the most entertaining and forward thinking. Certainly it's the zaniest and very in your face... Ballin' The Jack revives [these tunes] in an ultra-modern way that makes them seem like they were just written.... A strong candidate for Jazz CD of the Year" —Michael G. Nastos, All-Music Guide
Can "downtown" players deliver classic jazz and swing tunes? The Big Head should quickly win over skeptics with the speed precision and boisterous energy brought to tunes like Benny Goodman's Seven Come Eleven ... their enthusiasm and beat quickly become contagious. —Jon Andrews DOWNBEAT
"Just what we dreamed of seeing more often in the summer's Ellington commemorations: faithfulness to the original arrangements while renewing them, as the Duke practiced throughout his life. " —Alex Dutilh, Jazzman (France)

J'aimais y aller et, malgré un sentiment de lenteur, parfois d'ennui, il m'en reste un goût magique mêlé a de subtils plaisirs. aujourd'hui je me rends compte que la voix et les mélodies du hazzan, du chantre Léon Muller étaient pour beaucoup dans la beauté de ces moments. Léon Muller était aussi notre professeur d'hébreu au kheder et je dois dire que ce n'était pas mon prof préféré. levant son index il nous disait toujours quand nous faisions les fous dans le couloir : " jeux de mains, jeux de vilains ! "
Un hommage. mais aussi un libre témoignage musical autour de souvenirs lointains de ces mélodies du vendredi soir. En pensant à ce que je voulais écrire comme musique les mots suivants m'étaient venus à l'esprit : quelque chose de serein, horizontal, avec des fulgurances et des étonnements. Des paysages ouverts avec des moments improvisés. Bribes de liturgie jungle qui aient un parfum de Duke Ellington ou de musique klezmer." [Yves Cerf]

Two great Israeli bands on one bill: Teapacks with their song Push the Button was Israels entry for the Eurovision contest.

Avec sa manière innée de plaquer un chant traditionnel hassidique sur un breakbeat old school, SoCalled emporte le morceau. Le résultat est dansant, décoiffant, déroutant.

"If Lauryn Hill, Bob Marley, and Shlomo Carlebach had reared a love child, they might have ended up with a nice Jewish girl by the name of Chana Rothman. "We Can Rise" is the latest CD from this up-and-coming singer and songwriter. Rothman's music is an amalgam of traditions—the self expression of folk music, the prayers of Judaism, and the classic emergy of hip-hop—all brought together in one clear and encouraging voice…. Although her music is about herself, it is for something much larger than herself."—The Observer, Yeshiva University

KABBALAH
Kabbalah propose un spectacle qui s’articule autour des nouvelles musiques juives et s’inspire de la tradition klezmer tout en intégrant des influences actuelles : rock, afro-américaine, orientale…
Depuis sa formation en 2004 à Marseille, les cinq membres de Kabbalah ont constitué un répertoire original qui sait mettre en valeur les orientations musicales et culturelles de chaque musicien (les échos des chants traditionnels hassidiques répondent aux spoken word et les climats obsessionnels évoquent la transe et le mysticisme) et leurs talents respectifs : une palette sonore d’une grande richesse musicale où la virtuosité est convoquée à chaque instant ; l’extraordinaire profusion d’instruments (saxophones, violon, contrebasse, xylophone, mandoluth, percussions ), de langues (anglais, yiddish, russe) chantées, parlées permet l’expression d’un style coloré propre à Kabbalah. Leur album « Shlomo » est une pure réussite et rarement métissage n’a été plus convaincant.

Programma 28 oktober 2007
Di Fidl-Kapelye
126 snaren, samen in een klezmerband, waren in vroeger tijden heel gewoon: van oudsher vormden een paar violen, een cimbaal en een contrabas samen de band van het dorp. Tegenwoordig zie je dit zelden meer en al helemaal niet in een bezetting van louter vrouwen. Di Fidl-Kapelye uit Amsterdam vormen hierop een uitzondering. De 4 snaren virtuozen hebben verschillende muzikale achtergronden: klassieke muziek, pop en barok, om er maar een paar te noemen. Door de jaren heen deed de groep vele klezmer festivals aan (Weimar, NYC Workmens Circle, Hackesches Hof Theater Berlijn, Internationaal Joods Festival Amsterdam) en werkte met musici als Alan Bern, Michael Alpert en Frank London van de Klezmatics.
'Trumpets for strings'
Oorspronkelijk voerde Di Fidl-Kapelye voornamelijk traditioneel repertoire uit, onder meer te horen op de eerste cd 'Live in Amsterdam'. Hun vele contacten en verschillende muzikale interesses inspireerden hen de horizon te verbreden. Het idee ontstond om trompet spelende componisten te vragen nieuwe klezmermuziek te schrijven voor de strijkersband. De nieuwe stukken, gecomponeerd door Frank London (Klezmatics), Gijs Levelt (Amsterdam Klezmer Band), Job Chajes (Amsterdam Klezmer Band), Susan Watts (Mikveh) and Eve Monzingo (Chicago Klezmer Ensemble) hebben op de cd elk hun traditionele tegenhanger. Zo speelt de band in dit nieuwe programma dus oude en nieuwe nummers in een concert!
Di Fidl-Kapelye is:
Viool: Madelien Verheij-Schelp en Jiska ter Bals
Cimbaal: Pit Hermans
Contrabas: Jet Stevens
'Di Fidl-Kapelye are an ensemble that is fresh and creative, yet thoroughly rooted in the best of the klezmer tradition.' (Deborah Strauss)
'They are clearly hewing their own sound from these sources. And it works, oh does it work... If you have a chance to catch these folks live (you lucky Europeans), you should.' (Ronan Tsimbler/Roger Reid)
'I love listening to Di Fidl-Kapelye! The lyricism and vitality of the Yiddish string kapelye is alive and well again, not to mention some pretty fearsome estrogen-driven musicianship!' (Alan Bern)
Lucette van den Berg performs Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman, NYC, Oct 28, 2007

In preperation of this program, Lucette stayed for a while a Beyle's place, working with her and talking about her music. She received 16 brand new songs, in wich traditional themes like nature and love are interwoven with modern themes about the city of New York. Happiness, sadness, stillnes and exuberant spheres will interchange in beautifull and unconventional arrangements This combined with Lucettes warm, colourfull voice and intimate interpretation, will be a unforgetable experience.

Michael Wex Book Launch, Toronto, Canada, Oct 29, 2007
If you are a fan of Michael Wex (which is to say, if you have ever met him, heard him speak, or read his previous best-seller), and you live in Toronto, you will be quite pleased to know that the new book, Just say nu is out. It's available at Pages and fine bookstores everywhere. The launch party is going to be this coming Monday night at one of Queen St.'s great reformed hotels (unless you were one of the indigent people who could afford the SRO that it used to be), the Gladstone, 7:30-10:30pm. It's FREE.
The reading is sponsored by Pages—it's part of their "This is not a reading" series which presents writers and artists with new books. Even if you don't want the book, don't want the autograph, it's still worth showing up because Wex is so damn funny.
Why is Wex so funny? I blame it on Alberta, or at least the Calgary Hebrew Day School, which we both attended (me for just a few early years, insufficient for an adequate humor education, in the early 1960s). [ari]
