SUMMARY:Novel Jazz Septet
DESCRIPTION:Novel Jazz is back by popular demand! \n“Novel Jazz” is a band that re-interprets the great works of jazz icons\, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. For over a decade\, they have been mining the rich musical collections of these legends (together they wrote ~3000 compositions\, of which most jazz lovers are familiar with only about ~2% of these!). Through regular trips to the Duke Ellington Collection at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. (and more recently\, the Strayhorn Collection at the Univ. of Chicago)\, Novel Jazz locates original scores of their lesser-known/rarely recorded compositions\, which they then arrange for the band and bring back to life. It is not uncommon to find their writings\, poetry and personal letters mixed in among the music manuscripts in the Smithsonian archives\, all of which they weave into the stories of each tune. Novel Jazz relishes bringing this music back to life—but (very important)— they do it with a 21st century spin. They always also mix in their better known standards for balance. They play regularly around New England\, in opera houses\, theaters and concert halls.

SUMMARY:CE: Fenix Theatre Co. Presents Three Sisters
DESCRIPTION:Join Fenix Theatre Co. for one night only in Congress Square Park! \nYou can also catch a show at their regular venue — Thurs-Sat\, July 13th-Aug 5th at 7pm @ the stage at Deering Oaks. \nFenix is very excited to announce that they will be taking a break from Shakespeare for the summer of 2017 and heading to Moscow (or striving to!) with Anton Chekhov’s dramatic masterpiece THREE SISTERS! \nBuilding on their workshop of the play at Bowdoin College last spring\, they are thrilled to use the visceral and brilliant translation by Stepan Simek\, professor of theater at Lewis and Clark College and collaborator at Portland Experimental Theater Ensemble (Oregon). Professor Simek’s  work as a director was honored by the 1996 Drama League of New York with the “Drama League Directing Fellowship\,” and his translations of two contemporary Czech plays earned him the 2006 “PEN America Translation Award.”

SUMMARY:The Casco Bay Tummlers
DESCRIPTION:The Casco Bay Tummlers\, based in Portland\, Maine\, have been performing klezmer music since 1988! They have released three recordings and were featured performers on the LL Bean Holiday CD. They have a dramatic side\, creating and performing the music for the world premiere of “Manifest” at the Portland Stage Company and for a whimsical Belgian documentary\, “Mon noM”. \nThe Tummlers have a unique sound and a stage performance that features all members of the band. Steve Gruverman brings an extensive background in ethnic dance music to his soulful clarinet playing. Carl Dimow has developed a unique klezmer flute style\, making the instrument an equal solo voice in the music. John Clark is an incredibly versatile bass player–everything from symphony to surf–perfect for the Tummlers eclectic approach to klezmer. Nancy 3. Hoffman brings a playfulness which audiences love to both her accordion playing and her singing. Peter McLaughlin keeps the traditional role as drummer happening with elements of jazz and improvisation. \nThe band’s repertoire is versatile\, ranging from original music to traditional dances and songs of the Yiddish theater and Jewish ghetto – all with original arrangements. \nThe Tummlers have toured in Germany where they performed to sold-out houses at the Hackesches Hof Theater in Berlin and at the ninth annual Festival of Jewish Culture in Chemnitz. We have also traveled to Lithuania and performed in Pakroijis\, Linkuva\, Kaunas and Druskininkai and were the first klezmer band to perform at the Skamba\, Skamba Kankliai folk festival in Vilnius. Our most recent tour took us to Slovenia and Italy\, where we busked in Venice before performing as one of the featured ensembles at the Festival “Ande\, Bali e Cante” in Rovigo.

SUMMARY:Choro Louco
DESCRIPTION:Choro Louco is back by popular demand! \nBrazilian Choro has been around for over a hundred years\, but in this country itʼs virtually unknown. David Grisman\, Mike Marshall and a handful of others have helped introduce the music and the musicians to a larger audience\, but itʼs still largely under the radar of most music listeners…Its beautiful melodies\, complex harmonies\, and syncopated rhythms combine elements of European folk and classical\, ragtime\, jazz\, Latin\, and African music creating a style that is uniquely Brazilian. \nMembers of Choro Louco come from diverse backgrounds and can be seen in various ensembles locally. \nCarl Dimow\, flute and guitar\, has played jazz\, classical\, and klezmer music here and abroad with the Casco Bay Tummlers\, and numerous other ensembles. \nNicole Rabata\, Carl’s former student and now a teacher herself\, is best known in celtic music circles\, but also plays classical flute with the Colby College orchestra and the Bangor symphony. \nJoel Eckhaus comes from an old time/jazz/pop/vaudeville background and has applied his knowledge of the ukulele to the Cavaquinho\, Brazil’s version of the uke. \nDavid Newsam. 7-string and 8-string guitars and mandolin\, brings decades of experience as a jazz and classical guitarist to his choro playing. David is an Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music. \nEric La Perna\, fabulous percussionist with Okbari and Zapion\, brings his great hand percussion skills to the pandeiro\, the Brazilian tambourine.

SUMMARY:Summer Swing Dance with the Soggy Po' Boys
DESCRIPTION:Summer Swing Dance with the Soggy Po’ Boys and Portland Swing Project! \nBorn on a snowy Fat Tuesday night of 2012\, the Soggy Po’ Boys have been honing their craft of New Orleans’ music as part of their Tuesday residency in their home town of Dover\, New Hampshire. In between local gigs they’ve fit in more than a hundred shows every year\, from festivals and concerts to politics-infused burlesque collaborations and street parades\, spanning Maine to Georgia.  The band is equally at home everywhere it goes\, though\, and part of the beauty of New Orleans music is that it’s celebrated and appreciated wherever it goes\, from the street to the theater. The Soggy Po’ Boys serve their jazz messy\, mixing brass-fueled mayhem with spirituals\, Meters-style old-school funk\, and the Caribbean side of the New Orleans tradition. NHPR describes the band in this way: “If you’ve been to Sonny’s Tavern in Dover\, New Hampshire on a Tuesday night\, you could be forgiven for feeling like you’ve stepped into a New Orleans jazz club.” www.soggypoboys.com \nPortland Swing Project is a local organization with a passion for swing music and dances of the 1920s to today. We teach\, dance\, perform and provide live and DJ’d swing music spanning a century to local venues. We’re also some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet – we have a bunch of fun so come join us!
