SUMMARY:Julie Gold: Closing the Distance
DESCRIPTION:An intimate evening of songs and stories with the inimitable Julie Gold\, Greenwich Village’s own Grammy winner\, a singer-songwriter known the world over for “From a Distance\,” a song which has been read into the Congressional Record and which was used to wake up the astronauts on the Mir Space Station the very first time the Americans hooked up with the Russians in outer space. Join Julie – a wonderful raconteur as well as songwriter – for a very special evening.  \nWho doesn’t know “From a Distance\,” a song that’s now a part of our DNA. A dream of better times\, a prayer even.  \nJulie Gold came to the Village in 1978\, in pursuit of her own dream of becoming a songwriter. Bohemia was no longer cheap\, and she worked endless jobs to keep afloat. Just before her 30th birthday\, the piano she’d grown up playing was dispatched from Philadelphia by her parents.  \n“I took the day off work to be home when my piano arrived\, and I remember how it glistened in the sun as the movers lowered it off the truck. My piano. My truest love and friend. My confidante. Back together again after all these years. It came into my little\, one room apartment and fit just where I hoped it would. The movers told me that it had been on the truck for 24 hours\, so I had to give it a chance to settle. They said I couldn’t play it for a full day. So\, there we were in the same room\, unable to make music….  \n“The next day I sat down and ‘From a Distance’ just poured out of me. On one hand\, it took me two hours to write. On the other hand\, it took me 30 years. Pick whichever hand makes you happy. I love them both.”  \nThe rest\, as they say\, is history. Nanci Griffith recorded it on her debut album and on June 16\, 1988\, Julie and Nanci played Carnegie Hall. “All my relatives came up from Philadelphia to share the miracle… In many ways\, I am their American Dream. What an amazing dream it is. As I write this\, I can’t even believe it’s true. But it is. It really is.”  \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Oran Etkin Duo with Sasha Berliner
DESCRIPTION:Greenwich House Music School is pleased to present Oran Etkin in its annual Uncharted Concert Series\, part of the Baisley Powell Elebash Artists in Residence Program.\nDoors open at 7:30\nWebsite / Instagram / YouTube   \nOran Etkin’s constantly evolving practice originates from his openness to collaboration and to forging deep musical connections that transcend traditional boundaries. For his 2023 Uncharted concert\, Etkin has enlisted the young vibraphonist Sasha Berliner (Downbeat Magazine’s 2020 Critics Poll “Rising Star”) to join him in the premiere of their new and as-yet-unnamed duo\, employing electronics and mixers to accentuate the merger of Oran on multiple woodwinds – including clarinet\, bass clarinet\, and tenor saxophone – with Sasha on vibraphone. Etkin and Berliner first performed together in the summer of 2021 at the Hamptons Jazz Festival\, laying the groundwork for this project. Now\, through their Uncharted residency\, they will delve even deeper into the unique sounds their instruments can create in tandem. Their bold compositions\, intended for eventual recording\, will take inspiration from the natural cycles of decomposition and regeneration\, explicitly riffing off motivic and textural development and disintegration. Etkin and Berliner will transform the Greenwich House Music School’s Recital Hall into a custom-built laboratory\, aiming to build something absolutely original and truly “uncharted”. Don’t miss this chance to see their experiment come to life for the first time!

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Nour Harkati's Mawwal
DESCRIPTION:Greenwich House Music School is pleased to present Nour Harkati in its annual Uncharted Concert Series\, part of the Baisley Powell Elebash Artists in Residence Program.\nDoors open at 7:30 pm\nWebsite / Instagram / YouTube   \nSinger/songwriter Nour Harkati draws creative inspiration both from his birthplace of Tunisia and from his nomadic exploration of the lands and disparate sounds of North Africa\, Europe\, and New York City. His music transliterates Tunisian lyrics into the beautiful and familiar language of a busker’s entreaty to stop and empathize. With help from Khalil Lajmi on frame drum and bendir\, Harkati presents Mawwal\, a show that takes its name from the traditional Arabic genre of sentimental songs of loss and desire that shares some of the emotional weight of the Portuguese concept of saudade. For this concert\, Harkati will present new experimentations that blend ambient spiritual sound with heavily rhythmic and unusually structured vocal lines. These wistfully nostalgic tracks provide insight into Harkati’s journey and the future of global folk music.    \nNour Harkati’s performance is co-presented with Habibi Festival. Created with the goal of giving a snapshot of contemporary and traditional music of the South West Asia North Africa (SWANA) region\, Habibi Festival aims to take listeners on a journey of the sounds wafting through the airwaves and living rooms of cities spanning Marrakech to Baghdad. Habibi events\, while secular in nature\, give artists and audiences the space to engage directly or indirectly with the intersectionality of Arab and Muslim identity. \nLearn more about Habibi Festival at www.habibi-festival.com \n

Her compositions reflect her multifaceted artistry; her experience with a variety of musical genres and the visual arts; her love of nature and storytelling. She has composed music for films\, media\, and literary events. Her music is heard on Reuter Business Weekly and in several international award-winning documentaries including “Mothers’ Way\, Daughters’ Choice” directed by Kyoko Gasha\, who describes her musical contributions as going beyond what words can express. She wrote pieces for “9.11\, My Journey of Jasmine” by author\, Akiko Endo\, who says her compositions are born of a wonderful sensitivity that conveys emotion at a deep level. \nShe was awarded a Cultural Merit Scholarship from Sapporo City and a Professional Music Scholarship from Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Smoking instrumental music that is jazz but goes beyond jazz in many ways. Often impressionistic and visual\, this is a smoking debut from a pro that just planted a recording flag quite firmly.” – CHRIS SPECTOR\, Editor and Publisher Midwest Record \n“Yoko’s music is imaginative\, fun\, beautiful\, and natural. It incorporates music from a variety of genres and has emotional depth that hits my heart. Her unique style appeals not only jazz enthusiasts but to a broader audience. Each time I listen to “Mystic Life” it reveals more and inspires my own creativity. It is wonderfully crafted. Thank you Yoko for creating such beauty for us.” – DAVE GAHAN\, Lead singer Depeche Mode (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame\, 2020) \nAt this concert\, you will hear some pieces from the “Mystic Life” album and her new compositions. \nThe performers are:  Jamie Baum (Flt./A.Flt.)\, Jasper Shogo Dutz (A.

SUMMARY:Reflections on Inspiration
DESCRIPTION:Reflections on Inspiration\nBruce Wolosoff composer-pianist\nTICKETS: $20 online or at the door\nReflections in Music\, a non-profit concert series that launched online during the pandemic lockdown and found a home for live performances at The Church (an arts and performance center in Sag Harbor)\, has now found a New York City home at Greenwich House Music School on Barrow Street. \n“This concert is particularly meaningful to me\,” said composer Bruce Wolosoff\, the Artistic Director of Reflections\, “as Greenwich House Music School has been a vital force in the community for musical education and performance for many\, many years. It’s a neighborhood institution that has had a powerful impact on the lives of many students and families\, and New Yorkers who enjoy music and the arts.” \nMr. Wolosoff himself had lessons there with his beloved teacher\, Cuban pianist German Diez\, a protege of Claudio Arrau\, who was Chairman of the Music School’s piano department for over 50 years. \nThat impact is something Wolosoff experienced firsthand when he was enrolled at Greenwich House Music School (GHMS) studying under his beloved teacher\, Cuban pianist German Diez\, a protégé of Claudio Arrau and chairman of Greenwich House’s piano department for over 50 years. Wolosoff will fittingly begin his concert with a piece composed in memory of Diez\, “I called the piece Siempre because he is always with me\,” said the composer. \nBringing the traditions of the past into the present is central to Wolosoff’s musical language\, with a wide range of influences and inspirations on the new album\, from Purcell to Piazzolla\, Chopin to Ligeti to Otis Spann. “We’re so excited to welcome Bruce back to GHMS!” says Rachel Black\, Director of the Music School. “It’s always a privilege to reconnect with our former students and in Bruce’s case\, we’re thrilled not only to recognize the meaningful work he’s created with Reflections but grateful for the opportunity to help sustain his mission of empowering young musicians and introducing classical music to more audiences through this new partnership.” \nYou can hear him at Greenwich House Music School— located at 46 Barrow Street— on Thursday\, March 16th at 7:30 p.m. \nProgram: \nReflections on Inspiration \nComposer-pianist Bruce Wolosoff performs the music from his new Avie Records release “Memento” \nand discusses the inspirations behind the music \n\nSiempre \nMorning Song \nImprovisation on a Ground by Henry Purcell \nAfter the Rain \nMemento \nLetter to a Friend \nCity Lights \nThe Lotus Eaters \nDido’s Blues \n\nNight Paintings: \n\n I.  I’ve Got It All Up Here after a painting by David Salle \n II. Evening on Karl Johan Street after a painting by Edvard Munch \n III. La Nuit étoilée sur le Rhône after a painting by Vincent van Gogh\n IV. Nocturnal after a painting by Margaret Garrett \n\nFor more information on Reflections programs\, visit reflectionsinmusic.org   \n  \nBio: \nBRUCE WOLOSOFF is a pianist and internationally performed composer of solo\, chamber\, and orchestral music. Lauded as “an authentic American voice” by critic Thomas Bohlert for his integration of classical\, jazz\, blues\, and contemporary influences\, Wolosoff often composes in response to visual art and through collaborations with leading artists across a variety of disciplines. \nRecent recordings include Paradise Found with cellist Sara Sant’Ambrogio of the Eroica Trio\, on Avie Records; Lacrymae for cellist Inbal Segev’s “20 for 2020” project\, also on Avie Records. The 2019 release of Wolosoff’s Concerto for Cello and Orchestra\, performed by Sant’Ambrogio and Grzegorz Nowak with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra\, was a Billboard Top 10 classical bestseller. Additional commissioners have included ETHEL\, the Eroica Trio\, the Montage Music Society\, the Roswell Artists-in-Residence Program\, and more.

SUMMARY:Sam Reider "Petrichor" NYC Release Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join pianist\, accordionist\, and composer Sam Reider for an intimate solo performance and the NYC release celebration for his new record Petrichor on Friday\, July 22. \nTickets are $15. \nDoors: 7:30 p.m. \nConcert: 8:00 p.m. \n \nSlow & Steady Records announces the release of pianist-composer Sam Reider’s first solo piano recording Petrichor. The eight original compositions form a musical reflection on Reider’s recent homecoming to San Francisco after ten years in New York. “Hiking the foggy coastline\, climbing through redwood forests up to alpine lakes\, I felt rejuvenated to be back home\, in touch with a part of myself that had laid dormant\,” says Reider. “ I sought to capture the grandeur\, intimacy and nostalgia of the landscape I grew up with.” \nPetrichor was recorded in August\, 2021 at SandBox\, a brand new performing arts venue in Sand City\, CA that’s run by cellist Michelle Djokic. In fact\, Reider first discovered the space (and its 1917 Steinway) while quarantining in the Monterey area during the pandemic\, and was immediately enamored with its sound. Two months later\, Reider was back at the SandBox\, having written and workshopped his new music. This time\, he was accompanied by engineers and co-producers Jacob Blumberg (who grew up with Reider in the Bay Area) and Jon Seale (of Mason Jar Music) with the intention of “capturing the vibe of Michelle’s space\,” as Reider puts it. \nThe word “petrichor” means the fresh smell of the earth after a first rain. “It felt like a potent metaphor for me in many ways\,” says Reider. “My homecoming to San Francisco after many years living on the East Coast\, the ongoing drought in California\, which is punctuated by occasional rains\, and the first glimmers of hope in the midst of the pandemic.” Driven by Reider’s gifted sense of melodicism\, playful song forms\, odd (and standard) time meters\, and a reverence of the solo piano tradition\, Petrichor embodies the many paths and paces of life\, which often lead us home again.

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Dana Lyn\, Charlie Burnham + Marika Hughes: Songs About Communal Living
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 18 \nDoors at 7:30 PM\, Show at 8:00 PM \n$15 \n \n  \nDANA LYN\, CHARLIE BURNHAM + MARIKA HUGHES:\nSongs About Communal Living \nComposer\, violin-viola player and bandleader Dana Lyn’s COVID years were undeniably\, frustratingly productive. “On one hand\, I got a lot of writing done and I tackled some overdue animation work I would never have fit into my schedule otherwise. But as an active musician who is accustomed to and grateful for a full performance life in the city\, I really missed playing with people and being a part of the community of artists that develops when you’re creating new work. As soon as we were able to meet in person\, I reached out to Charlie and Marika to make music together. We’ve been friends for over a decade\, so the project came out of an impulse of recovery.” \nLyn and her bandmates\, cellist Marika Hughes and vocalist-violinist Charlie Burnham\, are all busy and much-in-demand session musicians. Their friendship provided the backbone of this collaboration. “Charlie asked me to write a few duets so we would have some basic structures to play around with\,” Lyn says. “We asked Marika to join us\, which was an organic choice given how much time we spend together\, just as friends. The hunger that I had for community during the pandemic imbues this music with a feeling that any listener could relate to as genuine and heartfelt. We’re not aiming to impress. We play to engage\, firstly with each other and now with our audiences.” \nThis recently-created trio is a step into the spotlight for these superstar side-people. “None of us present as traditionally ‘classical’ musicians\, with all of the baggage and presumption that comes with that label\,” Lyn tells us. “Charlie hails from a blues and jazz background; Marika and I both were classically trained but ditched that path long ago to become improvisors and creative musicians. I wouldn’t classify what I write as ‘new music’ in the classical sense\, and contrary to a lot of contemporary classical music\, I still write melodies and harmonies. I also wrote this music specifically for Charlie and Marika\, to highlight their respective skill sets\, so there is also a great deal of improvisation written into these pieces. I think our notion of a string ensemble is likely to sound different from what many might expect.” \n“For our Uncharted show\, we will be performing a set of my compositions\, mostly written during the pandemic. A few of them are meditations on the weirdly quiet New York City landscape we suddenly found ourselves in\, but most are explorations of reconnection: being closer friends and co-creators\, reclaiming our lives again as social beings and finally back to our roles as live performers. We have plans to record at the end of the summer\, so this will give us a chance to try these songs out in front of an audience\, some for the first time.” \nMulti-instrumentalist and composer Dana Lyn has been commissioned by Brooklyn Rider\, A Far Cry and Palaver Strings and regularly performs with Stew\, actor Vincent D’Onofrio\, and performance artist Taylor Mac. She is a 2020 NYFA Women’s Fund Grant Recipient and a 2021 Sundance Composer Fellow. \nViolinist and singer Charlie Burnham is legendary for his thick\, soulful sound. He has graced albums by James Blood Ulmer\, Living Colour\, Cassandra Wilson\, MTO\, and Medeski Martin & Wood among many others. \nNative New Yorker\, cellist\, singer and storyteller Marika Hughes “makes a joyful noise at the intersection of classical\, jazz and experimental avenues (Mark Corroto\, All About Jazz).” She has worked with Whitney Houston\, Anthony Braxton\, Adele\, Henry Threadgill\, Idina Menzel\, and Taylor Mac. \nAll three are improvisers and active participants in the vibrant Brooklyn musical community. Their respective friendships stretch back for over fifteen years. In 2021\, Lyn\, Burnham and Hughes came together as a string trio when Lyn was inspired to write music that contrasts the frenetic energy of pre-pandemic life with the eerie calm that settled over much of New York City during the spring of 2020.

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Raquel Acevedo Klein and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 12 \nDoors at 7:30 pm\, Show at 8:00pm \n$15\n\n \nWebsite / Instagram / YouTube \nNamed by The Washington Post as one of “2022’s classical composers and performers to watch” and a “force to be reckoned with\,” Raquel Acevedo Klein finds her greatest joy collaborating with an eclectic array of artists. “Much of my work is about audience engagement and musical exploration\,” Acevedo Klein says\, “I’m building stories and songs that are meant to help engage empathy for communities or ideas outside of the listeners’ immediate experience. The desire for that sense of connection often draws me into creative collaboration as a performer\, conductor\, and as a composer. For my Uncharted performance\, I wanted to offer a charcuterie plate of different kinds of music and different sonic approaches in celebration of the community of performers and audience members alike who also embrace that same sort of diversity.” \nFor this showcase\, Acevedo Klein offers insight into her process with a presentation of several new originals. The show begins upon entry with the playing of her introspective vocal symphony “Polyphonic Interlace\,” made from 40 overlapping and glitching layers of Acevedo Klein’s voice\, whispered and boomed by multiple speakers throughout the room and visually scored by a bespoke abstract digital animation by Alex Van Gils. Attendees are encouraged to move around the Greenwich House Music School Recital Hall to find where the song resonates best for them. \nThe evening continues with three dual composition premieres including selections that embrace Puerto Rican and Arabic music. The first is a collaboration with the theatrical raconteur and musical maximalist Sxip Shirey\, who most recently worked with Acevedo Klein at Bard’s Fisher Center for their immersive\, site-specific choral and movement extravaganza The Gauntlet\, co-created with choreographer Coco Karol. Acevedo Klein will then sing a series of composed pieces evoking the traditions of jazz and opera with her longtime teacher Fiona Bicket. The event closes with a mix of live and recorded vocal performance with electronics\, accompanied by the percussionist Nathan Repasz. \nThis concert is particularly meaningful to Acevedo Klein as it represents something of a homecoming. She says\, “Greenwich House Music School is where I performed many of my childhood piano recitals. Coming back with my name on the marquee\, as it were\, is a really special opportunity for me; one that I’m excited to share with my friends both onstage and in the audience.” \nRaquel Acevedo Klein is a conductor\, vocalist\, composer\, instrumentalist\, and visual artist. Acevedo Klein has premiered works and operas by Philip Glass\, Caroline Shaw\, John Adams\, Nico Muhly\, Paola Prestini\, Bryce Dessner\, and George Lewis\, to name only a few. She has recorded and performed with dozens of artists\, including Anthony Roth Costanzo\, Glen Hansard\, Arcade Fire\, Bon Iver\, The National\, Grizzly Bear\, Sufjan Stevens\, and the New York Philharmonic. In 2021\, as part of the NY PopsUp initiative\, Acevedo Klein curated a four-week festival entitled NYC FREE\, celebrating the opening of the Pier 55 public park\, Little Island. As part of that festival\, she premiered her original\, audience-interactive vocal symphony “Polyphonic Interlace\,” made from 40 recorded layers of her voice that audiences could accompany using their phones. Some of the other highlights of Acevedo Klein’s live music history include vocal and instrumental performances at Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, Radio City Music Hall\, The Town Hall\, BAM\, St. Ann’s Warehouse\, the Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival\, the NYC Guggenheim\, Rockefeller Center\, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon\, WNYC\, National Sawdust\, and Bard Fisher Center. She counts the Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus\, Beth Morrison Projects\, and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra as among the many groups and orchestras that she conducts for.  Over the course of her young career\, Acevedo Klein’s performances and curations have already caught the attention of The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, The Los Angeles Times\, The Washington Post\, Time Out New York\, The Wire\, and Hyperallergic. \n

SUMMARY:Uncharted: Val-Inc aka Val Jeanty
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 5 \nDoors at 7:30 pm\, Show at 8:00pm \n$20\n \n  \nSoundcloud / Instagram \nVal-Inc aka Val Jeanty \nEvoking Prayers: Soundscapes \nAn accomplished musician and academic whose creative work has been exhibited in major museums and staged at concert halls around the globe\, the artist Val Jeanty\, also known as Val-Inc\, creates musical performance art that engages timeless beats sourced from her Haitian roots with the same ease as it accesses contemporary experimental electronic composition. Following a recent glowingly received set at Big Ears\, a residency at Roulette Intermedium\, and a Toulmin Fellowship\, Jeanty continues to evolve and refine her sound. Tonight’s multimedia event as part of Greenwich House Music School’s Uncharted series finds her in a typically expansive and empathic mode\, responding to our current dramatic moment of global conflict. \n“I had initially planned a dance-oriented piece for this performance\,” says Jeanty\, “but the ongoing global wars and recent crisis in Haiti have deeply shifted my perspective. I felt the need to adjust my plans to better cope both artistically and personally.” Her revised soundscape\, Evoking Prayers\, is the premiere of Val’s newest solo work\, performed simultaneously with electronic instrumentations including a Korg Wavedrum\, a Kaossilator Pro\, the Roland Handsonic\, Sunhouse’s Sensory percussion drums with reverie kit and a RaneONE turntable. Jeanty tells us\, “Evoking Prayers focuses on peace and healing for myself\, our audience and the world.” \nBIO \nVal Jeanty\, also known as Val-Inc is a Haitian electronic music composer\, drummer/turntablist\, and professor at Berklee College of Music. Jeanty is a pioneer of the electronic music sub-genre called Afro-Electronica (also called “Vodou-Electro”)\, incorporating Haitian folkloric culture with digital instrumentations. She uses technology to lead listeners into her dream-like expressionism of Afro-Electronica Soundscapes. Jeanty’s performances include The Whitney Museum\, The Museum of Modern Art and internationally at The Venice Biennale\, Saalfelden in Austria and Haus der Kulturen in Berlin.  She is the recipient of various grants including the Van Lier Fellow in 2018\, the New York State Council of the Arts/ New Music USA grant in 2019 and the Toulmin Fellowship in 2022.

SUMMARY:Mike Holober & Balancing Act: Don't Let Go (Record release; Sunnyside Records)
DESCRIPTION:“Don’t Let Go” is a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works commission (funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation) for jazz octet with voice. Structured as a song-cycle in the tradition of Robert Schumann\, Samuel Barber\, and Ralph Vaughn-Williams\, this concert-length project explores the nuances and complexities of the concept of “hope” in the context of current social\, political\, and environmental realities. \nFeaturing: Jamile (voice)\, Marvin Stamm (trumpet)\, Dick Oatts (reeds)\, Jason Rigby (reeds)\, Mark Patterson (trombone)\, Mike Holober (piano/composer)\, Mike McGuirk (bass)\, Dennis Mackrel (drums) \nThis concert is best experienced in person. BUY TICKETS HERE.\nIf you can’t make it\, LIVESTREAM TICKETS are available (donation required) \n\n\n\nIt’s an appropriate name for a Holober-led band; in many ways\, Holober’s management of his many musical inspirations is a balancing act. On one hand\, much of what he’s best known for is his work with larger ensembles like the WDR Big Band\, the HR Big Band\, and the Gotham Jazz Orchestra\, whose latest work with Holober at the helm\, Hiding Out\, earned a 2020 GRAMMY® nomination. On the other\, there’s the magnetism of even greater self-actualization\, of writing for and leading a smaller group. \n“After focusing on big band work for so long\,” Holober says\, “Balancing Act exists to satisfy my needs to write for and lead a smaller group again and make a completely personal statement\, where the fruits of the collective are matched with band leadership and personal artistic goals.” \nBut the balancing isn’t just finding the sweet spot between large groups and small; it’s also about striking the balance between Holober’s classical and jazz impulses. Don’t Let Go is a 14-part song-cycle divided into two sets — one for each of the album’s two discs — recorded in October 2019 at Aaron Davis Hall on the campus of the City College of New York\, where Holober has taught since 1995. The work is intended to be heard in the order presented\, much like the song-cycles of classical influences like Robert Schumann\, Samuel Barber\, and Ralph Vaughan Williams. \nOf course\, when the roster of sidemen is composed of Marvin Stamm (trumpet and flugelhorn)\, Dick Oatts (alto and soprano sax\, flute)\, Jason Rigby (tenor sax\, clarinet\, bass clarinet)\, Mark Patterson (trombone)\, Mike McGuirk (bass)\, and Dennis Mackrel (drums)\, one knows there’ll be no scarcity of jazz-rooted improvisation. The presence of Brazilian vocalist Jamile only enhances the group’s expressive palette and dynamic interplay. \nRhapsodic in nature\, Don’t Let Go’s structure and presentation will appeal to listeners across the musical spectrum. At times it presents like classical-inspired jazz; at other times like jazz-inspired classical. That’s by design. Holober formed Balancing Act in 2015\, with its eponymous premiere recording landing on many jazz critics’ “best of” yearly roundup lists. In 2017\, Holober sought (and won) a commission from Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works program to create Don’t Let Go because\, as he puts it\, he’s drawn to “contrasting elements and ideas\, mixing styles\, grooves\, and influences from diverse jazz and classical languages.” \nSo then\, it’s no surprise he utilizes the talents of vocalist Jamile in a manner slightly unconventional. “Although some of the music contains lyrics\,” explains Holober\, “Balancing Act is not designed as a singer’s showcase. I employ voice as another frontline instrument\, often singing wordless notes.” \nThis is why Holober describes Balancing Act as “a jazz octet with voice.” Listen to set-one’s “Four-Letter Words\,” “Kiss the Ground\,” and\, especially\, “A Summer Midnight’s Dream” and “Morning Hope” to get a sense for the diversity of contexts in which Jamile’s expansive musicality is employed. When she’s not featured out front\, bringing Holober-penned lyrics to life\, she’s not on break; whether it’s scatting improvisationally or wordlessly vocalizing lines typically not meant for voice\, Jamile is utilized as another piece of the octet’s instrumentation\, adding texture and color. \nHolober says the spiritual impetus for Don’t Let Go was born from his desire to “explore the concept of ‘hope’ in the context of current social\, political\, and environmental realities.” This hope is manifested in the way he’s chosen to present this program—pieces that are individually self-sufficient but inextricably bound to their musical companions and maximally effective\, both emotionally and musically\, when presented as a unit. This governing principle applies not just to the whole but to the parts themselves\, the individual songs of the cycle. \n“Necessary\,” the closer of the first set\, speaks well to Holober’s commitment to exposing the connection and striking the balance between the individual and the collective\, with sparkling individual displays by Rigby and Patterson giving way to section playing of the highest precision. \n“I Wonder\,” the second set’s opener\, continues Holober’s exploration in duality and contrasts\, opening with an atmospheric solo piano prologue before showcasing the rhythm section (plus Jamile) as a swaggering quartet punctuated by concentrated bursts of horn support. The horns are foregrounded once more in “You’re a Long Way from Home\,” but it’s not necessary to keep score. Whether it’s Holober with a jaunty\, bouncy solo (“Touch the Sky”)\, Oatts piercing through a bossa nova-induced reverie on soprano sax (“Letting Go”)\, or Jamile and Stamm trading star-turns on a melodic\, theatrical ballad (“You Never Know”)\, every one of these talented musicians gets their just due here. \nThe title track and closer serves as the spiritual anthem for this concert-length suite. No mere suggestion\, this is a musical imperative\, at once uplifting and defiantly optimistic. Crafted specifically in these times and for these times and speaking to both head and heart\, this song cycle lends credence to Downbeat’s assessment of Holober as “one of the finest modern composer/arrangers of our time.” \nLydia Liebman Promotions
