SUMMARY:Annie Chen – Guardians
DESCRIPTION:Annie Chen – voice\, compositions\nAlex LoRe – saxophone\, flute\, bass clarinet\nFung Chern Hwei – violin\, viola\nMarius Duboule – guitar\nJacob Sacks – piano\nJeong Lim Yang – bass\nSatoshi Takeishi – drums\n\n  \n\nAnnie Chen Guardians is a new project born in 2022\, a septet of jazz and improvised music featuring some of New York’s finest musicians. The repertoire is based around a central suite that gives the band its title\, “Guardians\,” a questioning of the destructive behavior humans have on the planet and its impact on animal life. Through this unique set of music\, Annie and her band question the relationship between humans and nature and its consequences: crisis\, loss\, and the possibility of hope.\nThe band is an explosive combination of nationalities and cultural backgrounds (Chinese\, Brazilian\, Japanese\, Korean\, Swiss\, American\, and Malaysian) brought together with a focus on orchestration\, sound texture\, energy and improvisation. With a thematic and sometimes theatrical approach\, the band explores the drama of modern society through a multiethnic lens.\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/anniechenjazz/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/anniechenjazz/\nanniechenjazz.com

SUMMARY:PORTRAITS OF CLIMATE DRAMA
DESCRIPTION:8 PM SCREENING OF AWARD-WINNING FILM ‘INVISIBLE LANDSCAPES\n8:50 PM LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE BAND fyield (CZ/IS)\n9:30 PM DISCUSSION ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE\n\n\nCZECH-ICELANDIC COLLABORATION FYIELD BRING LIVE EXPERIENCE TO NEW YORK FOR THE FIRST TIME\nINCLUDES SCREENING OF AWARD-WINNING FILM ‘INVISIBLE LANDSCAPES’ + LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE BAND fyield (CZ/IS) + DISCUSSION ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE\n\nThis fall\, the Czech-Icelandic collaboration fyield will bring their unique live experience to the US for the very first time. On their debut album\, Future Landscapes\, fyield explores the locations used to satiate the needs of our society in terms of power consumption and nourishment\, or places impacted by the exigencies of industrial society. Altogether\, the artists’ adventurous journey shows us how solutions to existing problems bring new\, often unsuspected and complicated issues. By focusing on the sound that emanates from technological\, power-generating and other entities\, they testify to our existence beyond the visible. Their work portrays unique entities that don’t usually attract our attention – even though our civilization depends on them. They are not people\, mythical figures or animals\, but technological devices and ecosystems that open up questions about our climate future.\n\nThe album was preceded by a sonic expedition. A group of musicians\, accompanied by leading European field recordists\, Sara Pinheiro from Portugal and Magnús Bergsson from Iceland\, visited eight locations in the Czech Republic and Iceland. With the help of special instruments such as hydrophones\, geophones\, ambeo and electromagnetic sensors\, they listened to the manifestations of infrastructures that the human ear alone cannot hear. The compositions bring us close to\, or inside\, the organs of geothermal\, hydroelectric or coal-fired power plants\, a CO2 repository\, an aquaponic farm\, a lagoon created by melting glaciers\, and an oil well. The Czech Republic and Iceland represent countries with contrasting approaches to CO2 production. The Czech fossil-fuel-impacted landscape is juxtaposed with the seemingly environmentally sensitive Iceland\, where the technology it employs poses a number of problems of a completely different type.\n\nfyield warns us that it is futile to hope for a single save-all solution to the climate crisis.\n\nThis unique live experience will also include a screening of Invisible Landscapes\, a film by Ivo Bystřičan (awarded as the best film documentary at the AFO: The 58th International Festival of Science Documentary Films\, Academia Film Olomouc of Palacký University 2023). It sounds like a bird’s song\, and you can’t take your ears off it. But it’s not – it’s just the popping bubbles of a melting glacier. A group of musicians equipped with sensitive microphones and headphones set out on an exploration. They head to places in the Czech and Icelandic countryside both marred by industry and untouched by man to discover and understand the sound of catastrophe – the sound of ongoing climate change\, which in itself can be far more beautiful\, and more imaginative\, than what it heralds. While sight allows phenomena and things to be encompassed in a static state and in a certain entirety\, hearing allows us to understand how they affect and clash with their surroundings. Sound is the consequence of an event that happened in the past and points towards a future now being decided\, one that may potentially be inevitable and destructive for us. It cannot yet be seen in the invisible landscapes\, but – if we listen carefully – it is already there. The film will be presented by Ivo Bystřičan and producer Tereza Swadoschová\, who will lead the discussion after the screening.\n\n  \nfyield brings together leading figures of the Czech and Icelandic independent music scene. Czech musicians Václav Havelka and Kryštof Kříček from the band Please The Trees are joined by Iceland’s Pan Thorarensen\, a member of the ambient trio Stereo Hypnosis and founder of the international experimental music festival Extreme Chill\, which has been held in Reykjavik since 2010.

SUMMARY:The Vanguard
DESCRIPTION:As the grandson of great American songwriter Hoagy Carmichael\, drummer\, bandleader\, and composer John B. Arnold grew up in the legacy of jazz tradition. For him\, music is a gift that is given from one generation to the next. With that gift comes a responsibility to offer younger musicians the opportunity to hone their craft and express themselves artistically in an environment that does honor to the past while at the same time leaving room for the future. This is the beating heart of John Arnold’s newest project\, The Vanguard: not just to showcase the most brilliant young musicians in New York City\, but to invite them to reinterpret what has come before\, and to explore the real dynamics of jazz and neo-soul\, from roots to leaves\, from growl to whisper.\nJohn\, a native New Yorker\, cultivates a New York sound with young\, New York-based musicians\, all in their teens: tenor saxophonist Ben Sherman; trumpet player Elijah Allen; pianist Bix Cole; and bassist Sam Konin. They are the carriers of the new tradition\, and from their ranks will come the next luminaries of American musicianship.\n“John is pushing the barriers of contemporary drumming to new heights\,” guitarist John McLaughlin said. With his quintet\, The Vanguard\, John aspires to bring some of New York City’s strongest young talents to new heights–and beyond.

He possesses incredible technique\, and a musical mind to match it! I love playing with him because he is so creative and unique!”\nIn a chapter dedicated to him in the recently published book The New Face Of Jazz (Billboard press/Random House\, Inc.)\, author Cicily Janus states that “Marko’s name is quickly becoming synonymous with greatness” while Modern Drummer magazine calls Marko “a world class drummer” and ” a true innovator”.\nAs the composer for SVETI\, Djordjevic writes music inspired by the music of his Balkan roots as well as the sounds of the American artists that have influenced him\, from John Coltrane\, Thelonious Monk and Weather Report to Ahmad Jamal\, Tony Williams and Mahavishnu Orchestra.\n\n\n  \nJustin Salisbury –\n8:30PM\nPiano Jongkuk Kim –\nDrums Gianluca Girard – Electric Bass\nDaniele Germani – Saxophone/Keyboard\nMatt Sewell – Guitar\n\nJustin Salisbury is a Brooklyn-based pianist\, keyboardist\, and electronic musician.\nHe began his musical journey taking piano lessons at an early age\, as well as studying with several of the Pacific Northwest’s finest musicians\, such as Sharon Moe\, Clay Giberson\, Derek Sims\, and Alan Jones. In 2013\, Justin had the honor of playing piano at the Portland Jazz Festival\, under the direction of NEA Jazz Master Gerald Wilson. Later that year\, he received the Jimmy Lyons Scholarship- a full-tuition scholarship to attend the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston\, MA.\n\nAfter graduating from Berklee in 2017\, Salisbury moved to New York City\, where he currently resides. Within mere weeks\, he had quickly established himself as an in-demand sideman and bandleader\, actively involving himself in numerous musical projects. Today\, Salisbury has traveled and performed at many festivals and jazz clubs around North America\, Asia\, and Europe\, such as the Monterey Jazz Festival\, Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, European Jazz Competition\, Nancy Jazz Pulsations\, and Pop Montreal. \n  \nSalisbury has also collaborated with many notable artists from diverse musical backgrounds\, such as Mike Stern\, Emel Mathlouthi\, Eddie Chacon\, Jerry Barnes\, Marko Djordjevic\, Evan Marian\, Daniele Germani\, and Rodney Green. \n  \nIn 2022\, Justin released his debut album entitled “Evergreen” featuring Max Ridley on bass and Dan Nadeau on drums.
