Bryan Tuk Complex<\/p><\/div>\n

This will be a big weekend for the Kennett Flash (102 Sycamore Alley, Kennett Square, 484-732-8295,\u00a0http:\/\/www.kennettflash.org<\/a>) with a trio of shows featuring highly respected veteran music acts \u2013 Arlen Roth on June 11, Bryan Tuk Complex on June 12 and Levin Brothers on June 13.<\/p>\n

It will be a hometown gig for Bryan Tuk, a Bucks County native who has been a long-time resident of Kennett Square.<\/p>\n

Tuck actually has three careers. Peers in one of them help people rap to the beat while peers in the other help people beat the rap. In the third, he helps people beat to the beat.<\/p>\n

Tuk is a top-flight drummer who was a music major at West Chester University. He is also a lawyer albeit a business lawyer rather than a criminal lawyer (so, no raps to beat for his clients). Tuk also gives percussion lessons to student musicians at his company Groove KSQ. <\/p>\n

The Kennett Square based Law Offices of Bryan Tuk, PC, focus on business and start-up law,<\/a>\u00a0non-profit organizations,\u00a0and arts and entertainment law.<\/p>\n

The Bryan Tuk Complex, also based in Kennett Square, is a high energy large ensemble playing hits from the 1970s and 1980s while infusing elements of jazz, funk and rock into the band\u2019s signature powerful sound.\u00a0 The performers in the band are drawn from the region\u2019s best jazz programs, including West Chester University, University of the Arts and Temple University.<\/p>\n

The band performs live in several different formats \u2013 quartet, trio and large band. With the pandemic restrictions starting to fade away, everyone will get to play in Saturday\u2019s show, which is part of Kennett Flash\u2019s \u201cRooftop Series.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be the first one back for the large group,\u201d said Tuk, during a phone interview Monday evening. \u201cThere are 14 people in the big line-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The roster for Saturday\u2019s concert features B.D. Lenz (guitar), Brian Bortz (bass), David Mattock (organ), Kellina Holt (vocals), Patrick Conlon (trombone), Eddie Otto (trumpet), Bryan Cowan (saxophone), Connor Devlin (tuba), Zach Prowse (trumpet), Jonathan Katz (saxophone), Vinny Shickora (trumpet), Tony Gairo (saxophone), Sam Yoder (trombone), and Tuk (drums).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe core group is the quartet which is B.D. Lenz (guitar), Brian Bortz (bass), David Mattock (organ) and me,\u201d said Tuk, who earned his law degree at Temple University.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last gig for this group was November 2019. So, we\u2019ve been looking forward to this for quite a while. Calling it a big band is a misnomer. It\u2019s really a rock band with horns. Our repertoire includes songs by Paul Simon, Tower of Power, Stevie Wonder. It\u2019s very much late \u201960s\/early \u201970s.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a group of bandleaders and composers. So, there is no shortage of material to go along with our covers of band like Blood, Sweat & Tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe enjoy playing songs people aren\u2019t going to play live. They are hard songs to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been teaching drum set and marching for a long time and my students come out to our shows. Once we get this band in front of them, they really have a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tuk has drawn some of his band members from his alma mater.<\/p>\n

\u201cI graduated for West Chester University in 1996,\u201d said Tuk, a graduate of Central Bucks East High School. \u201cA lot of my band came from WCU along with University of the Arts and Temple.<\/p>\n

The Bryan Tuk Complex\u2019s debut recording was the \u201cLiftoff\u201d EP in 2019. It was followed by the \u201cLife in High Gravity\u201d LP \u2013 also in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018Liftoff\u2019 EP came out in early 2019,\u201d said Tuk. \u201cIt was an instrumental EP \u2013 a power trio more like the blues, Clapton and Hendrix.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe album came out late 2019 and was a big band record. We recorded it at SpectraSound Studios in Quakertown with Jim McGee. It was a 14-piece band.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur plan was to work on our second album in 2020 and then go out on tour. When COVID came, everything got shut down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the Bryan Tuk Complex is back in action \u2013 and heading to a rooftop in Kennett Square.<\/p>\n

Arlen Roth<\/p><\/div>\n

The weekend run of \u2018Rooftop Series\u201d shows gets underway on June 11 with Arlen Roth \u2013 a name familiar to guitar fans around the world.<\/p>\n

The legendary guitarist is considered one of the most influential guitarists of all time.<\/p>\n

Roth, who will turn 70 next year, is an American guitarist, teacher, and author. From 1982-1992, he was a columnist for\u00a0Guitar Player\u00a0magazine and those ten years of columns became a book,\u00a0\u201cHot Guitar.\u201d<\/p>\n

He grew up in New York in a family that was immersed in the arts. His father Al Ross, who lived to be 100, was a cartoonist for The New Yorker Magazine and many other publications over a 75-year career. Roth had three brothers, all of whom became cartoonists.<\/p>\n

Al Ross was also a great painter and fine artist, and he was the one who encouraged Arlen to become a guitarist when he saw Arlen playing along with the Flamenco records he would play in the Bronx apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuitar was always a sound that was around in my house,\u201d said Roth. \u201cWe lived in an apartment in Brooklyn and my father listened to a lot of flamenco music. That was an influence on me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a violin when I was young. My brother had a guitar with two strings, and I\u2019d just noodle around with it. I was studying violin in school and my dad said \u2013 forget violin, go with guitar.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I went down and studied guitar with a Bohemian woman in the Village. In 1964, I bought my fitst guitar at Ben\u2019s Music on 48th Street. It was an Ideal four-pickup Japanese guitar with a Stewart amplifier. The guitar had a lof of chrome and lots of pickups.\u201d<\/p>\n

Music was there but Roth\u2019s family was mainly into drawing and art.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to do cartoons,\u201d said Roth. \u201cI\u2019d make up my own cartoon books. My father was a single panel cartoonist. I liked that and also liked comic books.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did cartoons for a long time and then I got into photography. I\u2019m the only one in the family with ear so I also got into music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roth attended the\u00a0High School of Music and Art\u00a0in New York City from 1966-1969 as an art student. He then studied at the\u00a0Philadelphia College of Art\u00a0from 1969-1971.<\/p>\n

\u201cI studied film and photography at the Philadelphia College of Art,\u201d said Roth. \u201cI had a band \u2013 Steel \u2013 who lived with me. We were playing everywhere. In 1970, we went to the town of Woodstock to get heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1970, Steel put on the first Woodstock Reunion concert to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the festival in\u00a0Bethel, New York, where Roth lived every summer since he was born.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put on the first anniversary show,\u201d said Roth. \u201cSteel was the only band and played four hours every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roth\u2019s reputation started to grow and soon his talents were in demand.<\/p>\n

He began to record and tour with acts such as Happy and Artie Traum,\u00a0Eric Andersen,\u00a0Paul Butterfield,\u00a0Art Garfunkel,\u00a0Janis Ian,\u00a0John Prine,\u00a0Helen Schneider,\u00a0Pete Seeger,\u00a0Phoebe Snow,\u00a0Dusty Springfield,\u00a0and Loudon Wainwright III. He toured with the\u00a0Bee Gees,\u00a0Simon and Garfunkel\u00a0and\u00a0Duane Eddy.<\/p>\n

From then on, his CV continued to grow and become more impressive.<\/p>\n

In 1976, he appeared in the\u00a0Bob Dylan\u00a0film\u00a0\u201cRenaldo and Clara\u201d\u00a0performing with\u00a0Ramblin\u2019 Jack Elliott,\u00a0Patti Smith\u00a0and\u00a0Phil Ochs. He is featured performing on his 1953 Telecaster with\u00a0Patti Smith\u00a0in the 2019 Bob Dylan\/Martin Scorsese\u00a0film \u201cRolling Thunder.\u201d Roth\u2019s version of \u201cScarborough Fair\u201d is featured on the soundtrack of the film, \u201cLost in Translation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roth\u2019s first book,\u00a0\u201cSlide Guitar,\u201d was published by Oak Publications when he was 21. He has since published numerous well-known books such as\u00a0\u201cHow to Play Blues Guitar,\u201d \u201cNashville Guitar,\u201d \u201cArlen Roth\u2019s Complete Electric Guitar,\u201d \u201cArlen Roth\u2019s Complete Acoustic Guitar,\u201d \u201cRock Guitar for Future Stars,\u201d \u201cHeavy Metal Guitar,\u201d \u201cHot Guitar\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cMasters of the Telecaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

He released a\u00a0\u201cSlide Guitar Summit\u201d\u00a0album in 2015 featuring duets with guitarists\u00a0Sonny Landreth,\u00a0David Lindley,\u00a0Greg Martin,\u00a0Lee Roy Parnell,\u00a0Jack Pearson,\u00a0Rick Vito,\u00a0Jimmy Vivino, and\u00a0Johnny Winter. This is said to be Johnny Winter’s final recording.<\/p>\n

Roth is a\u00a0Telecaster\u00a0enthusiast who wrote the book, \u201cMasters of the Telecaster,\u201d\u00a0detailing the techniques of many famous Telecaster guitarists.<\/p>\n

He has performed and recorded with\u00a0Rory Block,\u00a0Cindy Cashdollar,\u00a0Ry Cooder,\u00a0John Entwistle,\u00a0Danny Gatton,\u00a0Vince Gill,\u00a0Levon Helm,\u00a0Albert Lee,\u00a0David Lindley,\u00a0Don McLean,\u00a0Steve Morse,\u00a0Phil Ochs,\u00a0John Sebastian,\u00a0James Taylor,\u00a0Kate Taylor,\u00a0Livingston Taylor,\u00a0Rick Wakeman,\u00a0Joe Louis Walker, and\u00a0Steve Wariner.<\/p>\n

Roth has released 16 solo albums starting with \u201cGuitarist,\u201d which came out on Rounder Records in 1978 and won the\u00a0Montreaux Critics Award\u00a0for\u00a0\u201cBest Instrumental Album of the Year\u201d in 1978. His most recent LP is \u201cTELEMASTERS,\u201d which was released on Aquinnah Records in 2019.<\/p>\n

He was voted in the\u00a0Top 50 Acoustic Guitarists of All-Time\u00a0by\u00a0Gibson.com<\/a>,\u00a0and in the\u00a0Top 100 Most Influential Guitarists of All-Time\u00a0by\u00a0Vintage Guitar Magazine.\u00a0From 2007-2012, Roth was also the creator of more than one thousand online lessons and blogs for Gibson Guitars.<\/p>\n

Roth\u2019s next album will feature duets with another rock\/folk legend who got his start in the Village in the 1960s \u2013 John Sebastian, former frontman\/multi-instrumentalist of The Lovin\u2019 Spoonful.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a duet album with John and me playing all Spoonful songs,\u201d said Roth. \u201cI always loved the Spoonful with John and guitarist Zal Yanovsky \u2013 and The Byrds with Clarence White.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concept was to record instrumental treatments of the great songs of the Lovin\u2019 Spoonful, with just two guitars, bass, and drums.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe album is titled, \u2018John Sebastian and Arlen Roth Explore the Spoonful Songbook,\u2019 and it will be released on September 25,\u201d said Roth.<\/p>\n

Roth might even treat fans to a preview of a song or two from the LP when he plays the Kennett Flash this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do some shows with a band, but this show is just solo,\u201d said Roth. \u201cI\u2019ve got to pay my rent this month and they\u2019re not paying me enough to bring extra musicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Capping off the weekend of wonderful music will be a concert by Levin Brothers on June 13. The quartet will also be performing on June 10 at the Sellersville Theater (24 West Temple Street, Sellersville, 215-527-5808, www.st94.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Levin Brothers<\/p><\/div>\n

Levin Brothers is an all-star band with music that spans genres effortlessly and is built on the nucleus of Pete and Tony Levin.<\/p>\n

After decades of playing with first class musicians in all genres — jazz, fusion, rock, pop and world music — and after guesting on each other\u2019s projects, the two brothers finally decided to have their own jazz band.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil 2014, we had played together on sessions for other musicians,\u201d said Pete Levin, during a phone interview Tuesday evening from his home in Woodstock, New York. \u201cWe had also played on each other\u2019s albums.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2014, Tony said \u2013 we\u2019ve never done a project together from scratch. He had a lot of compositions, and we also wrote some original songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

After writing material for the album for several few years, the brothers enlisted some top music talent to join in the recording — guitarist\u00a0David Spinozza, sax player\u00a0Erik Lawrence\u00a0and drummer\u00a0Jeff Siegel.\u00a0Steve Gadd\u00a0appears as a special guest on the album, playing drums on two songs,\u00a0\u201cBassics\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cFishy Takes a Walk.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLevin Brothers\u201d was released on CD and LP by BMG Records. It was also a gold album — the vinyl edition was pressed on gold vinyl.<\/p>\n

The LP was recorded at Scott Petito\u2019s NRS Studio in the Woodstock area. The songs were all written by the brothers except a King Crimson\u00a0song,\u00a0\u201cMatte Kudasai.\u201d<\/p>\n

Covering a King Crimson song comes naturally for Tony Levin. He has been a member of the pioneer prog rock band since 1981 and has been a part of 25 King Crimson albums.<\/p>\n

Tony Levin is\u00a0one of the most recorded bass players in history of music and is the bass and Chapman Stick player for Peter Gabriel and King Crimson. He has played on notable recordings for John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Carly Simon, and many others, as well jazz artists Buddy Rich, Gary Burton and Chuck Mangione. He currently records and tours with Stick Men, Levin Brothers, King Crimson and Peter Gabriel.<\/p>\n

After graduating from the Juilliard School,\u00a0Pete Levin\u00a0became a synthesizer specialist in the New York City recording studio scene. Over the years, he has done session work on hundreds of jazz and pop recordings and performed with many artists, including Gil Evans, Jimmy Giuffre, David Sanborn, Annie Lennox, Charles Mingus, Jaco Pastorius, Lenny White and Paul Simon. Additionally, Pete Levin has released nine solo albums.<\/p>\n

Siegel, a veteran of the New York Jazz scene,\u00a0has worked with an impressive list of jazz artists. A member of Sir Roland Hanna\u2019s Trio from 1994-1999, Siegel has performed and recorded with jazz legends such as Ron Carter, Kenny Burrell, Lee Shaw, Jack DeJohnette, Benny Golson, Frank Foster, Helen Merrill and Mose Allison.<\/p>\n

Ciampa, a contemporary jazz guitarist, has recorded and toured with some of the best-known jazz, pop and rock stars, including Harry Belafonte, Jon Lucien, Dave Matthews, Mark Egan, Bill Evans, Al MacDowell,\u00a0Ornette Coleman, Lew Solof, Pete Levin, Tony Levin, Lenny White.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince our debut album, we\u2019ve made two live albums,\u201d said Levin. \u201cThe first was \u2018Special Delivery.\u2019 We recorded it at three venues on the Spring 2017 Tour \u2013 Natick, Massachusetts (Center for the Arts), Schenectady (The Van Dyck) and Rochester (The Lovin\u2019 Cup).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second we recorded on the 2019-2020 Winter Tour at Daryl\u2019s House in Pawling\u2019s, New York. That was our last show before the pandemic stopped everything. We had all kinds of tours planned \u2013 the Far East, Europe and South America.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tours got wiped out \u2013 and so did the release of the album.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe album sat on my computer for a year,\u201d said Levin. \u201cWe wanted to wait to release it until we could tour to support it. We got this June swing together quickly when things began to re-open. I pulled the album out, re-mixed it and it\u2019s ready for release. We still haven\u2019t decided on a title.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic was tough on everyone. But we got through it and we\u2019re all healthy. We all survived. Unfortunately, some of the venues didn\u2019t survive \u2013 like The Iridium in New York and also The Jazz Standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the band is heading out on its eight-show \u201cVaccinating Rhythm Tour\u201d with a foursome that includes a pair of Jeffs — Jeff \u2018Siege\u2019 Siegel on drums and Jeff Ciampa on guitar.<\/p>\n

Siegel, a veteran of the New York Jazz scene,\u00a0has worked with an impressive list of jazz artists. A member of Sir Roland Hanna\u2019s Trio from 1994-1999, Siegel has performed and recorded with jazz legends such as Ron Carter, Kenny Burrell, Lee Shaw, Jack DeJohnette, Benny Golson, Frank Foster, Helen Merrill and Mose Allison.<\/p>\n

Ciampa, a contemporary jazz guitarist, has recorded and toured with some of the best-known jazz, pop and rock stars, including Harry Belafonte, Jon Lucien, Dave Matthews, Mark Egan, Bill Evans, Al MacDowell,\u00a0Ornette Coleman, Lew Solof, Pete Levin, Tony Levin, Lenny White.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re returning to Kennett Flash and the Sellersville Theater,\u201d said Levin. \u201cWe played there on our last tour so we can\u2019t play the same set list. We\u2019ve got a new batch of compositions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThew music scene is very different now. In 2015, we were more of a \u201950s cover band with a jazz theme. Now, our music has gotten more electric — prog rock with jazz overtones. It\u2019s going to be challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brad Trackman<\/p><\/div>\n

Just prior to the COVID-19 shutdown, Brad Trackman headlined a show at the Candlelight Dinner Theater in Arden, Delaware. Now, the popular comic is coming back to the area to headline a show on June 10 at Punch Line Philly (33 East Laurel Street, Philadelphia, 215-606-6555<\/a>, http:\/\/www.punchlinephilly.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Trackman is a national touring comedian who has been featured as a stand up on CBS\u2019s\u00a0\u201cThe Late Late Show\u00a0with Craig Ferguson,\u201d\u00a0\u201cComics Unleashed\u201d\u00a0with Byron Allen, \u201cStar Search\u201d\u00a0with Arsenio Hall, AXS TV\u2019s\u00a0\u201cGotham Comedy Live,\u201d NBC\u2019s\u00a0\u201cLater,\u201d and MTV\u2019s\u00a0\u201cThe Buried Life.<\/p>\n

He has also been featured \u201cNew Joke City\u201d\u00a0with Robert Klein, NBC\u2019s\u00a0\u201cFriday Night\u201d\u00a0and numerous appearances on\u00a0Comedy Central.<\/p>\n

Trackman also had his own commercial campaign on\u00a0Spike TV\u00a0where he played the fictitious Presidential Candidate Biff Wolanski.<\/p>\n

The pandemic shutdown slowed Trackman\u2019s career but didn\u2019t come close to bringing it to a halt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I fared well compared to my peers,\u201d said Trackman, during a phone interview Monday evening from his home in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing corporate shows via virtual conferencing \u2013 shows for Comcast, United Way and insurance firms. I was working a lot from my home. I\u2019m still doing them but, slowly but surely, I\u2019m getting back to doing live shows in front of live audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Performing online via formats like Zoom is an acceptable substitute but lacks the audience-performer interaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to learn how to navigate it,\u201d said Trackman. What I do is as close to performing for a live audience as you can get. One of my contract requirements is that I need 15 people I can see and I need them to be unmuted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kept me going. But, when you\u2019re used to getting feedback from a live audience, it\u2019s tough to do it any other way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also did some isolated live performances. I played Villa Roma Italian Resort in upstate New York \u2013 in the Catskills. It kept the muscle going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trackman grew up in Medford, New Jersey and relocated to New York City. After graduating from New Jersey\u2019s Shawnee High School, he moved to Manhattan to study theatre.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to the American Academy of Performing Arts in Manhattan,\u201d said Trackman. \u201cI was living in New York City before I got married. I lived 15-16 years in the city doing stand-up. Then, with a wife, a kid and two dogs, I moved back to Burlington County. We have a house here and it\u2019s a nice location \u2013 close to New York, Atlantic City and Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack when I finished my studies at the American Academy of Performing Arts, I didn\u2019t know what I was going to do. I graduated with a degree in theater and it was worthless.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was selling shoes at Bergdorf-Goodman. I was dating a girl who was a cheerleader at the University of Delaware for four years. She insisted that I stop selling shoes and pursue something creative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Theater may not have been the right path for Trackman, but stand-up comedy was.<\/p>\n

\u201cI took a stand-up comedy class with Stephen Rosenfield,\u201d said Trackman. \u201cIt\u2019s strange. He never even went on a stage but he\u2019s a great writer and I learned a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephen Rosenfield is the Director of the\u00a0American Comedy Institute. He coaches and directs performers ranging from beginners to Emmy and Tony Award-winning and Oscar-nominated star talent.<\/p>\n

The accomplishments of Stephen Rosenfield\u2019s students include starring roles in movies, network and premium cable television series, commercials, Broadway and off-Broadway productions, and hosting their own radio programs.<\/p>\n

Trackman started his career in New York City and was a regular at\u00a0The Comedy Cellar,\u00a0Gotham,\u00a0The Comic Strip Live,\u00a0Carolines on Broadway\u00a0and\u00a0Stand\u00a0Up\u00a0NY. He also has been a regular in Atlantic City at the\u00a0Borgota Casino\u00a0and\u00a0Las Vegas at\u00a0Brad\u00a0Garrett\u2019s comedy club in the\u00a0MGM casino.<\/p>\n

Trackman has also opened for such legendary comedians as\u00a0Joan Rivers,\u00a0Robin Williams,\u00a0Dana Carvey\u00a0and\u00a0Weird Al Yankovic.\u00a0\u00a0One of his most impressive appearances was headlining\u00a0\u201cThe Radio Shack Net Together Concert\u201d in Times Square.\u00a0He was on a Jumbotron which was also simulcast in San Francisco on a Jumbotron there.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy agent said that they picked me for the Net Together show because I was squeaky clean,\u201d said Trackman. \u201cI\u2019ve gotten a lot of work because I can work clean \u2013 squeaky clean. I\u2019ve performed at churches, christenings and synagogues.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of my comedy us autobiographical stuff. I have a relatable universal connect with my audience. I talk about my wife, having a kid\u2026real-life observational stuff. It\u2019s worked for me because I\u2019ve been working full-time as a comic for 23 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t try to be topical. I like to write stuff for my act that will last for a while rather than something that lasts for a few months or a few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trackman has two comedy albums of him headlining The D.C. Improv which were produced by XM Sirius comedy programmer Joel Haas. Both are\u00a0critically acclaimed\u00a0and available on iTunes.<\/p>\n

Most recently, he\u00a0became a published author with a major book deal with Post Hill Press\/Simon & Schuster. \u00a0He wrote the biography of shock jock\u00a0Anthony Cumia\u00a0who was part of the legendary radio show\u00a0Opie and Anthony. \u00a0The book, entitled\u00a0Permanently Suspended, is available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just finished writing my first book,\u201d said Trackman. \u201cNow, I\u2019ve just started writing my first novel which maybe will eventually become a screenplay. That\u2019s how it happens a lot of times \u2013 novels become screenplays.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Crossing<\/p><\/div>\n

The Crossing (www.crossinchoir.org<\/a>)\u00a0is a Grammy-winning professional chamber choir conducted by Donald\u00a0Nally\u00a0and dedicated to new music. It is committed to working with creative teams to make and record new, substantial works for choir that explore and expand ways of writing for choir, singing in choir, and listening to music for choir.<\/p>\n

As with all entertainment acts, it was hard for The Crossing to maintain a normal schedule of live performances over the last 16 months.<\/p>\n

This month, The Crossing has a very active schedule with nine performances in three locations over a span of three weekends. The series, which has the Annenberg Center as co-presenters, is titled, \u201cMonth of Moderns.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so booked,\u201d said Nally, during a phone interview Monday evening from his office in Philadelphia. \u201cIt\u2019s like going from nothing to everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did \u2018The Forest\u2019 last October. We did 10 films, four or five CDs and \u2018The Forest.\u2019 The CDs were recorded prior to the pandemic. We did most of the recording in Malvern in \u2018The Barn\u2019 at St. Peter\u2019s in the Great Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Crossing posted the following message on its website —<\/p>\n

\u201cOne year after “the cancellation of everything”:
\n\u2018The Month of Moderns 2021,\u2019 The Crossing re-imagined, reflecting, rejuvenated. A complete MoM, with three different programs of new works born of our pandemic-time lives, using our Echoes Amplification Kits, which allow an intimate aural experience, while observing pandemic-time protocols.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMonth of Moderns 1: The Forest\u201d was staged last weekend at Bowman\u2019s Hill Wildflower Preserve in New Hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Forest\u201d focuses on the symbiotic relationship between individual trees and the forest \u2013 a metaphor for the relationship between each singer and the ensemble. The libretto is formed from The\u00a0Crossing\u00a0singers\u2019 reflections on their isolation during COVID-time, overlaid with texts from Scott Russell Sanders\u2019 essay Mind in the Forest. Each Echoes kit allows singers to stand and safely sing 30 feet from each other and from the audience while listeners walk along a well-worn, mostly flat path of approximately one-third mile lined with speakers.<\/p>\n

In October 2020, The Crossing introduced \u201cThe Forest\u201d to local fans with two performances at the same location.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast weekend was great,\u201d said Nally. \u201cWe have 24 choir members, and everybody was back. It did get a little hot, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMonth of Moderns 2: \u201cwe got time,\u201d which is also co-presented with Ars Nova Workshop,\u201d will be performed this weekend from June 11-13 at The Woodlands (4000 Woodland Avenue, Philadelphia).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Crossing is\u00a0performing the world premiere of Matana Roberts\u2019 work honoring the life of Breonna Taylor, \u201cwe got time.\u201d It is a collage of sound that reflects on the world today, positions the loss of Taylor at the center of that world, and asks questions about the meaning of familiar words present in historic documents, event data related to Taylor\u2019s death, and a roll call of the names of Black women lost in similar ways.<\/p>\n

The title stems from Taylor\u2019s trial, when grand jurors were told they wouldn\u2019t be able to watch all of the body camera footage due to time restraints, and one juror shouted, \u201cwe got time.\u201d The performance is experienced as a socially distanced one-third mile walk through the trees and markers of The Woodlands historic cemetery with timed entry for groups of people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our first time to The Woodlands,\u201d said Nally. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to using the place. The piece is a linear walk-through piece. It takes as long as it takes people to walk through it. The choir is singing for 90 minutes. The audience arrives and the path that we\u2019ve mapped brings them around. There is a sense of arrival and leaving.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a protest piece but it\u2019s also a celebration honoring Breonna Taylor. It is a sound quilt constructed with littles swatches of musical fabric \u2013 such as familiar songs and old hymns. Every single minute of the piece will be different for each audience member. It\u2019s about these 24 women \u2013 about their hope and resilience \u2013 and that tragic ending of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMonth of Moderns 3: At which point\u201d will be staged on June 18 and 19 at Awbury Arboretum (1 Awbury Road, Philadelphia). It will feature two world premieres and one U.S. premiere.<\/p>\n

Commissioned for this amplified outdoor performance, the world premiere of Wang Lu\u2019s\u00a0\u201cAt which point\u201d\u00a0explores the emotional peaks and valleys of 2019 Pulitzer Prize winner Forrest Gander\u2019s raw, brutally honest poetry.<\/p>\n

The Crossing will also perform a world premiere expanded version of Ayanna Woods\u2019\u00a0\u201cShift,\u201d a multi-layered contemplation on the reimagining of our monuments.<\/p>\n

The final piece is the U.S. premiere of David Lang\u2019s\u00a0\u201cthe sense of senses.\u201d The piece\u00a0explores the power of our five senses and is an apt reminder as we emerge from a time when much of that human connection has been absent.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Month of Moderns 3: At which point,\u2019 starts with Ayanna Woods\u2019 \u2018Shift,\u2019\u201d said Nally. \u201cIt\u2019s a piece which was written during the pandemic. We actually made a film of the first movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWang\u2019s piece is set in a Monteverdi (Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi) way. It always feels like it\u2019s moving forward and developing. I really, really love this piece \u2013 20 minutes and it\u2019s all concentrating on the words.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe piece by David Lang is a concert piece with synchronized singing. It\u2019s taken from \u2018Song of Songs.\u2019 It\u2019s a 10-minute piece and it feels very intimate.\u201d<\/p>\n

This weekend\u2019s line-up at Jamey\u2019s House of Music (32 South Lansdowne Avenue, Lansdowne,\u00a0jameyshouseofmusic.com<\/a>) features something familiar and something new.<\/p>\n

The show on June 11 will feature the Jackson Taylor Band which is billed as \u201ca young, but experienced blues-rock group based out of the Philadelphia suburbs of New Jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maci Miller<\/p><\/div>\n

On June 12, Jamey\u2019s will host a return engagement by Maci Miller, who just headlined a show at the Delco venue on May 1.<\/p>\n

Miller is an expressive jazz singer and talented songwriter. Because of her varied musical background, she is equally comfortable singing an Ella Fitzgerald classic like \u201cLullaby of Birdland,\u201d \u201cMoje Zlato\u201d (a Croatian wedding song) or one of her many melodic original compositions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was singing into a hairbrush ever since I was able to talk,\u201d said Miller, during a recent phone interview from her home in Bucks County.<\/p>\n

As a young girl, Maci discovered her grandparent\u2019s vast collection of vinyl, and after studying every great artist from Ella to Ellington, she honed her vocal skills and made her debut in local clubs and at special events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a lot of musicians on my mother\u2019s side,\u201d said Miller. \u201cI had a lot of talented uncles who were writers, producers and sound guys. On my dad\u2019s side, there was the Croatian influence. There was always Croatian music being played.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was growing up, I was always singing in choirs and performing at local shows. When I was 20, I got into dinner theater in Harrisburg. Then I joined a funk band named Smooth \u2013 a pop\/funk band.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in a lot of bands that did wedding gigs. Then, I did a lot of modelling and acting when I moved to Philadelphia. I also worked in New York. After a while, I stopped all the other things and focused on music. It was later that I got into jazz.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based in Philadelphia, Miller worked regularly at the casinos in Atlantic City.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked at several casinos,\u201d said Miller. \u201cI performed a lot at the Claridge. I\u2019d listen to jazz a lot on the way home and think \u2013 why aren\u2019t I singing this. I really liked old music. I got into Ella Fitzgerald and then dug deeper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller released her debut album, \u201cA Very Good Night,\u201d in 2001.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first album was a big band album,\u201d said Miller. \u201cIt was all originals written in \u201940s style. My second album, which came out in 2004 was \u2018Take A Closer Look.\u2019 It was a pop\/jazz fusion album.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller has worked with several music greats including trumpeter Steve Jankowski (Nile Rodgers, Chicago), saxophonist Larry McKenna (Woody Herman, Buddy DeFranco), Dean Schneider (music director for Diahann Carroll), Demitrious Pappas (Smokey Robinson\u2019s music director), and the late George Mesterhazy (Shirley Horn).<\/p>\n

Miller\u2019s third album was written for a very specific audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe third album was \u2018Butterfly Moon\u2019,\u201d said Miller. \u201cIt was a lullaby album for my baby girl, Ruby. We adopted her from Thailand. I made the album so she could get used to my voice before we went to Thailand to get her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t sing for about eight years so I could focus on being a mom. Then, my friend David O\u2019Rourke said \u2013 you should sing again. Two years ago, I decided to dip my toe back in and an album came out of it \u2013 \u2018Round Midnight.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

On \u201cRound Midnight,\u201d Miller sings 15 favorite standards in an intimate duet format with guitarist David O\u2019Rourke.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recorded \u2018Round Midnight\u2019 and released it just before the pandemic,\u201d said Miller. \u201cI was four gigs into my comeback and the world shut down.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at Jamey\u2019s House of Music on June 12 will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 at the door. The show will also be available via Livestream for $15.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Collier<\/p><\/div>\n

118 North (118 North Wayne Avenue, Wayne, www.118northwayne.com<\/a>) will host Mike Lorenz and Josh Steingard on June 11, the Ben Turner Duo and Jeremy Savo on June 12, Plush in the Box and Matthew Fair on June 12 and the Vanessa Collier Duo on June 16.<\/p>\n

Collier, a highly acclaimed young sax player who is adept at both jazz and the blues, is a resident of Chadds Ford.<\/p>\n

When the COVID-19 pandemic arrived last spring, it forced Collier to abandon a spring\/summer tour after just one show and to push back the release of her new album. It also wiped out a blues cruise in the fall on which she was scheduled to be a featured performer.<\/p>\n

Collier released her new album \u201cHeart On The Line\u201d on August 21 \u2013 an album that has received rave reviews from music critics and fans alike.\u00a0Still in her mid-20s,\u00a0Collier\u00a0has toured all over the world numerous times and has released three solo albums. With searing saxophone solos, soulful vocals, and witty lyrics, her song writing features a blend of blues, funk, rock, and soul.<\/p>\n

Collier\u2019s impressive vocals and stinging saxophone work saw her light up stages as part of Joe Louis Walker\u2019s band in 2012 and 2013.<\/p>\n

In 2014, her debut album \u201cHeart Soul & Saxophone\u201d won her accolades as a \u201cBest of 2014 Blues Breaker.\u201d In March 2017, she released her sophomore album \u201cMeeting My Shadow.\u201d Collier\u2019s third album \u201cHoney Up\u201d was released on July 6, 2018.<\/p>\n

Collier\u00a0is primarily a sax player, singer and songwriter but is also well-versed in playing clavinet, flute, electric organ, and percussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was little, I really wanted to play piano,\u201d said Collier, during a recent phone interview. \u201cI don\u2019t know why. I started taking piano lessons but didn\u2019t like the teacher, so I quit after six months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw someone playing sax on television and fell in love with it. We rented a sax for me when I was in fourth grade. That was in school. Then, I studied with a private instructor for a few years. Then, I took lessons with Chris Vadala, who played sax with Chuck Mangione.<\/p>\n

\u201cI studied with him for seven years \u2013 classical, jazz and funk. He started me doubling on flute and clarinet. I still play those instruments. Mainly, I play sax \u2014 tenor, some soprano and some baritone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collier\u2019s previous album \u201cHoney Up\u201d was released almost two years and was nominated for Blues Music Award (BMA) Contemporary Blues Album of the Year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat album did well right from the start,\u201d said Collier, who had the front cover picture and feature story in the latest issue of Blues Music Magazine. \u201cIt was a Top 5 Billboard Blues Album and was well-received by radio deejays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collier\u00a0was nominated in 2017 for a Blues Music Award in the \u201cInstrumental \u2014 Horn Player of the Year\u201d category. She also won first place in the \u201cLyrics Only\u201d category of the 2017 USA Songwriting Competition. In 2018, Collier\u00a0was nominated in two categories at the Blues Music Awards \u2013 \u201cContemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year\u201d and \u201cInstrumental \u2014 Horn Player of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2019, she was again nominated in same two categories at the Blues Music Awards \u2013 \u201cContemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year\u201d and \u201cInstrumental \u2013 Horn.\u201d She claimed first place in the \u201cInstrumental \u2013 Horn\u201d category.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoney Up,\u201d which had a three-month residency on Billboard\u2019s \u201cTop Blues Albums Chart,\u201d provides a good look at Collier\u2019s influences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith jazz, the first person I was turned on to was Cannonball Adderley,\u201d said Collier. \u201cOther major influences were John Coltrane, Junior Walker, and Maceo Parker. Vocally, I started with Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan and that morphed into Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Collier is ready for \u201cHeart on the Line\u201d to take off.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had recorded the basics for the new album back in February,\u201d said Collier. \u201cI had planned to put the vocals on it during the Midwest tour even though it would have been hectic. When I came home, I had a lot of time. I put vocals on. I put horns on a few tracks. I spent time with the mixing. It took longer than I had planned. Like my previous albums, it\u2019s definitely a mixture \u2013 blues, funk, NOLA \u2013 but this one goes rootsier.<\/p>\n

Collier recorded the album in January at Hearstudios in Camden, Maine and released it on her own label \u2013 Phenix Fire Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the same studio I used for \u2018Honey Up\u2019,\u201d said Collier. \u201cI used the same engineer \u2013 Mark Wessel. He was a professor I had at Berklee for a course in music production. He really captures each instrument as it sounds in the room and is absolutely wonderful to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vanessa Collier Duo also features stellar guitarist and blues master Arthur Neilson.<\/p>\n

In the 80s and 90s, his guitar work became much in demand.\u00a0Neilson became adept at playing blues, rock and roll, rockabilly and country. At one point, he was gigging in seven bands, including Oxford Blues, Kid Java, Felix and The Havanas and The Guitar Guys from Hell. He also worked\u00a0with guitar great Otis Rush.<\/p>\n

In 1998,\u00a0Shemekia Copeland\u00a0hired Neilson to be the guitarist in her band. He has played on many of Copeland\u2019s Grammy nominated albums including \u201cWicked,\u201d \u201c33 1\/3\u201d and \u201cOutskirts of Love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neilson has released three albums under his own name \u2013 \u201ca piece of wood, some strings, and a pick,\u201d \u201cMoan & Cry\u201d and \u201cHell of a Nerve.\u201d<\/p>\n
