BOSTON: MUSANER WITH SPECIAL GUEST ALEX VAVILOV
Composer & pianist Ara Sarkissian returns to
THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel (1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757) on Thursday, January 29th at 8:00 pm, with MUSANER, a critically acclaimed ensemble blending jazz orchestration and Armenian folk music. The concert will feature guest artist Alex Vavilov on the viola, who will be featured in the debut performance of Sarkissian's "Soundtrack to an imaginary film". Founded in 2007 by composer and pianist Ara Sarkissian, the group released its first recording in 2009. Featuring a wide array of musicians from the Boston music scene, the group has presented widely in both jazz circles and general audiences. In addition to the acclaim it has received from audiences and critics in the Boston area, the group performed to sold-out audiences in Italy and Switzerland in 2010. Since then, musAner's cross-genre repertoire has been heard regularly at some of the most prestigious venues in Boston, along with features on radio programs in the US, Italy, Lebanon, and Armenia. There is a $25 cover.
TORONTO: BILL KING TRIO WITH SELENA EVANGELINE AND GAVIN HOPE
Pianist-composer-publisher Bill King, along with jazz vocalists Selena Evangeline and Gavin Hope will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Thursday through Saturday, January 29th through 31st at 9:00 pm. King is a multi-talented individual whose recording and production credits include 'Live! In Session' by Liberty Silver; 'Magnolia Nights, Moment's Notice' by Bill King and the Jazz Report All-Stars, 'From The Heart' a tribute to piano great Oscar Peterson, 'East Side Symphony, The Night Passage Years' and most recently Bill King's Saturday Nite Fish Fry "Jump Shout Rock da House," The Rockit 88 Band's "Too Much Fun" and the King-Alleyne-Roth Trio's "It Might As Well Be Spring.". These projects highlight King's versatility as both a keyboardist and composer. Selena Evangeline is, without question, a world class singer. The sounds of Ella Fitzgerald, Chaka Khan, Prince and Stevie Wonder helped shape the musician she is today. As a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, her songs are musical snapshots of real life and emotions, from a real woman. Those "snapshots" helped to win her an Ontario Independent Music Award for Best Urban, Barrie New Music Award as well as honorable mention in the John Lennon Song Writing Competition. Her debut album "This Girl's Life" was featured on CTV's "Da Kink In My Hair" and her single "Lifesong"received heavy rotation on Canadian airwaves as well as MuchVibe and MTV1. Selena's second release, "Bad Weather", is a blend of R&B/Soul, Jazz, Pop, Funk and even a little classic sounding rock - a sound that she likes to call "Alternative R&B". Gavin Hope's career spans the stage, film, television and song. At 20, he joined Canadian pop a cappella sensation The Nylons, performing on four albums and touring with the group across Canada, Europe, Asia and South America. Gavin's lead vocal on the hit single "Love TKO" helped earn the group a Juno nomination for Best R&B Recording. Post Nylons, Gavin ventured back into professional theatre playing "Collins," the lead character in the Canadian company of RENT at Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre, and later as "Simba" in the original Canadian company of The Lion King. Gavin recorded his debut solo album "Anything Like Mine" in the late 90's and scored multiple charted singles, as well as a second Juno nomination for Best R&B Recording. He has shared the stage with Shania Twain, Deborah Cox, Jill Scott, Nathalie Cole, James Brown and Aretha Franklin. His new solo album "For All We Know" is a vocal jazz influenced release produced by and featuring, Bill King on piano. There is a $15-$20 cover.
