SUMMARY:Ingrid Schyborger: “In Love With The World” Pre Album-Release Show. 
DESCRIPTION:“In love with the world” Is the title of Ingrid Schyborger’s upcoming debut album. \nIt features a jazz quartet combined with a string quartet\, a project she’s been working on for the past three years. Some of the musicians on the album include Ian Cleaver (nl) on trumpet\, Tommaso Perazzo (pi) drummer and percussionist Rogerio Boccato\, and a guest feature with Yuko Kawasaki on vocals. \nDuring her upbringing\, Ingrid spent much of her time in the summer outdoors\, playing in the forests of rural Sweden. The album is a rewind to what it was like wandering alone in the woods\, being only eight or ten years old at the time\, hearing only the sound of the creaking trees and the birds. \nMuch of the music on the albums has been inspired by those summers\, as well as a reflection on our society today\, how urban societies have lost their connection to the earth’s nature\, and how humans have lost their love for the planet. \nWhile combining melodies that capture the listener’s ears with playfulness of rhythm and harmonic changes\, Ingrid’s music always has a story behind it. The musicians’ communication with each other brings forward a playfulness in the performance\, making it both exciting and interesting to listen to. \nShe brings the audience on a journey through different sounds and musical landscapes\, and explores ideas of what it means to be a human being living on this earth. \nMore about Ingrid Schyborger:\nIngrid Schyborger is a double bassist and composer living in New York. Originally from Stockholm\, Sweden\, she grew up in a small neighbourhood outside the city with a house full of musical instruments. She started with the piano at age of 4 and at the age of 9 she began playing classical cello and electric bass as well.After studying jazz bass in high school\, she went on to do her undergraduate at The Royal College of Music (KMH) in Stockholm\, and later on her Masters Degree at The Manhattan School of Music in New York. Ingrid has already played with prominent musicians in Sweden\, Europe\, New York and Kenya\, and is already making her way as a composer and bass player in the city.

SUMMARY:Scheidt/Perry/Anderson/Scott
DESCRIPTION:Holger Scheidt – upright bass\nRich Perry – tenor saxophone\nNick Anderson – drums\nDave Scott – trumpet \nFREE EVENT! \n \nThis quartet lead by the German bass player Holger Scheidt performs three-part composition and improvisation with drums. \n„…lithely dovetailing horn parts… Scheidt´s unfussy themes and spare but effective arrangements… lend… an overall unity of form and tone…“ wrote Tom Greenland in NewYorkCityJazzRecords about Scheidt’s enja records release „Schwimmende Elefanten“ in 2019. Precise composition lays down the foundation for the often free forms of improvisation on this record. Stylistically open voice leading creates a direct acoustic Jazz music that resounds atonal Modernism as much as classic Romanticism. In 2024 the quartet builds on Scheidt’s body of work and citing the point of departure of this project\, „You might be heavy\, but your still floating“\, the question remains\, what weight do swimming elephants have? \nWhether gravitation or levitation represent the pre-dominant forces\, is being determined not least by the outer circumstances and the present moment. One can never be certain\, but one can rely on instinct and intuition. The musical instinct and intuition of the 4 musicians coming together here\, promise weight and free floating at the same time.

SUMMARY:Michele Romeo Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Piero Alessi – Drums\nCarlo De Biaggio – Electric Bass\nJustin Salisbury – Keys\nMichele Romeo – Electric Guitar \nItaly born-and-raised and NYC-based guitar player\, producer and composer Michele Romeo has always had a fine hear for music since an early age. When he was only 4 years old\, his parents gifted him a present that would be a lifechanging milestone: his very first guitar. He formally started to study guitar at the age of 10 and\, shortly after\, he began attending the Centro Formazione Musicale in Palermo to enrich his knowledge and to start mastering the instrument professionally. \nAt 13 years old he started dealing with a particular eye condition which led him to lose his sight at the age of 18. Nonetheless\, this did not scratch his will to pursue his main goals in life. In 2012 Michele started to work to his very first album\, Leaves\, which was released on December 2014 and presented at the renowned Feltrinelli Music Stores in Palermo right upon its release. \nThe life experience in Milan was an essential turning point for his career: in fact\, at the end of his successful university path\, he decided to dedicate his life to music and never look back again. This is when he began to focus on fulfilling one of his lifelong goals: moving to the United States and work as a professional musician. In 2016\, Michele gained a scholarship to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. The Boston experience was a great opportunity for him to meet and play with many talented musicians and masters from the most different backgrounds. This eventually led him to grow a lot as a musician and to find new pathways in his approach to the instrument. Berklee was also a great gateway for Michele to access the world of music production\, allowing him to add the skills of a mixing engineer on top of the musician ones. From 2022 Michele settled down in New York City and he started composing and producing his own projects and tracks\, among which Brookline\, Herbert Street\, Space Fantasy and I Do Like You But.

SUMMARY:One Hour Raga with Sitar and Tabla
DESCRIPTION:“How does the raga behave? We don’t treat it as a fixed structure of notes. It has a soul. It comes to power\, you watch it flourish. So then\, we start developing. There’s a rhythmic section\, but still with no percussion. We develop it\, and then play with the tabla a cycle of maybe sixteen beats\, ten beats\, seven beats\, it depends. Like jazz\, there are so many rhythmic cycles.” – Abhik Mukherjee \nAbhik Mukherjee is a Kolkata-born sitar player of the Etawah-Imdadkhani gharana. He was initiated to sitar at the age of six by his father\, Sri Tarit Mukherjee\, and Sri Bimal Chatterjee\, while simultaneously receiving vocal instruction from Sri Kaylan Bose. He has since taken talim from Pandit Arvind Parikh and Pandit Kashinath Mukherjee\, themselves disciples of the legendary Ustad Vilayat Khan. He is a gold medalist in musicology from Rabindra Bharati University\, Kolkata\, and has also received a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture\, India. \nSameer Gupta in American jazz and Indian classical tabla player and has created a unique musical sound by combining traditional and modern improvisational styles drawing from his dual Indian and American heritage.

SUMMARY:Soundbox
DESCRIPTION:At Soundbox\, we play to read! \nSoundbox is a pre-literacy playgroup focused on phonemes\, the individual parts of spoken words. For example\, the word “cat” can be separated into 3 phonemes. \nA step up in learning to read is learning to listen. \nIn each play session\, friends open a Soundbox and explore the “minis” inside to discover a sound pattern! A miniature apple\, a tiny alligator\, a very small astronaut\, an itty bitty axe\, and mini alpaca all begin with the same sound! \nWe play with our minis and learn more about our new sound through activities and games that are both super fun and researched based. We learn how to break words into sound parts\, practice sound order\, discover sound patterns\, and map sounds to letters. These skills are foundational for emerging readers. With each Soundbox they open\, our friends take one more step on their journey towards reading! \nCome play with us! \n** Currently this is NOT a drop-off play group. Adults stay to play. There is no charge for this 4-round session. This session is designed for children who are 4 to 5 years old. There are LOTS of small parts. Not suitable for kids under 4. Adult supervision required at all times. \nDates\nTuesday. February 6\nTuesday\, February 13\n*Thursday\, February 22\nTuesday\, February 27\nTuesday\, March 5 \nTimes\n12:00pm – 1:15pm \nLocation\nShapeShifter Lab\n837 Union Street\nGround Floor\, Open Cafe
