SUMMARY:Micromassé
DESCRIPTION:Micromassé is a trio of established Portland musicians featuring organist Peter Dugas\, guitarist Max Cantlin and drummer Chris Sweet. Inspired by the great jazz organ groups of the fifties and sixties\, Micromassé also draws from traditional and contemporary African and Latin music. \n“You won’t miss a vocalist here. Micromasse\, a jazz trio featuring Max Cantlin\, Chris Sweet and Peter Dugas\, is as cool as they come; showing off some incredible chops with the finesse and nuance needed to create a true mood. It’s delightfully old-fashioned with enough originality. Standouts include Hinche and Ruelle Des Ursulines in this solid 10-song debut.”  \n– Dispatch Magazine

SUMMARY:PMA Films: When We Were Kings
DESCRIPTION:A free outdoor screening of the 1996 Academy Award Winning documentary When We Were Kings. Co-Presented by the Portland Museum of Art. Film starts at dusk (approx 8pm). \nIn 1974\, boxers Muhammad Ali and George Foreman came to the still-emerging and politically unstable African nation of Zaire for what Ali called the “Rumble in the Jungle\,” a highly publicized world heavyweight championship fight. Documentarian Leon Gast flew to Zaire to film both the fight and a music festival (featuring B.B. King\, The Pointer Sisters\, and Miriam Makeba) organized by promoter Don King. Gast’s footage was shelved for 22 years due to legal and financial problems\, but when it was finally released in 1996\, When We Were Kings provided a vivid portrait of the controversial Ali. At 33\, he was considered past his prime for the Zaire fight\, and his refusal to serve in the U.S. military on moral grounds was still an issue in the minds of many. But here\, Ali displays strength\, skill\, intelligence\, and tremendous charm\, making it clear how he became one of the most renowned figures in the world of sports. And\, while George Foreman is best known today as a genial commercial pitchman\, he’s seen here as a strong\, forbidding opponent\, not especially articulate and seemingly unstoppable. The film also features interviews with several notable fight fans\, including Norman Mailer\, George Plimpton\, and Spike Lee. A fascinating document of a great moment in sporting and cultural history\, When We Were Kings received an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and won a Special Jury Recognition Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Swing Dance featuring Soggy Po Boys & Portland Swing Project
DESCRIPTION:Born 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! For information on weekly classes and dances\, private lessons and special events\, check out www.portlandswingproject.com.

SUMMARY:Sister Steel
DESCRIPTION:Sister Steel is a unique and energetic professional steel drum band based in Portland\, ME. This inclusive instrument is as much fun to play as it is to listen to! Our music\, everything from traditional calypso to contemporary pop\, will be sure to have you dancing. Most of us have been playing together amidst a cultural phenomenon in Blue Hill\, ME since high school\, some of even longer\, under the direction of Carl Chase and his son Nigel. Carl brought the steel drums from Trinidad and Tobago to Blue Hill over 50 years ago and they have only been gaining in popularity ever since. Our name plays homage to the kinship we feel with the bands we grew up with and the community we come from. Through our commitment to high quality musical arrangements\, we pay tribute to the history and culture of the tradition. We believe in the light-hearted\, community-building spirit steeldrums have brought to New England and are passionate about strengthening this tradition in Portland.

SUMMARY:Amarantos Quartet
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Amarantos Quartet back to Congress Square Park this season for an encore performance. \nAll four members of Amarantos Quartet are classically trained\, though their work as an ensemble also reflects their experience outside of classical music. From playing fiddle in an old-time band\, to performing and recording with pop artists\, to playing in a Middle Eastern takht\, all four members of the quartet make a life of creatively pushing the limits. They share a belief that their instruments\, experiences\, and training allow them to cross the musical\, artistic\, and even social boundaries associated with different genres. Together as a string quartet\, Amarantos seeks to show that this ensemble of two violins\, a viola and a cello can be timeless and borderless. \nWith this foundation\, Amarantos draws from the traditional classical canon but also from other musical genres. Violist\, arranger\, and composer Bryan Brash has adapted and continues to adapt many works\, from tangos\, to jazz\, to pop songs\, for the quartet. The group also seeks to bring their music out of the traditional concert hall and into venues where classical string players can reach new audiences. Though some might see it as innovative or progressive\, this decision is partially motivated by the origins of chamber music and the string quartet\, when performances were often held in smaller venues where performer and spectator could be close and even interactive. So\, while you can experience Amarantos Quartet’s music in a more traditional concert format\, you can also catch them playing more casually in environments such as a cocktail bar or a house-concert. \nSince coming together in Portland\, Maine in 2013\, the group has performed with pop artist Halsey on The TonightShow with Jimmy Fallon; on Sofar Sounds Maine on their own\, and again as guests of artist Sara Hallie Richardson; at the TEDxDirigo Mavericks and Misfits; on The Cold River Radio Show; at The Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center; and also regularly throughout Maine and the greater Portland area on their own and in collaboration with many other artists.

SUMMARY:Bess Berg & The Strays
DESCRIPTION:Bess Berg & The Strays find their groove with songs rooted in jazz\, blues\, and vintage Americana\, both highbrow and lowbrow. Musical offerings range from honky-tonk to funky\, from Fats Domino to Tom Waits\, from classic covers to fresh originals. Bess Berg leads the band on vocals and keyboard\, joined by saxophone goddess Kate Campbell Strauss\, Portland’s beloved Per Hanson on drums and harmonica\, and blues-pedigreed bass-man Scott Morrison. The band adheres strictly to the philosophy that “If we have a good time\, you’re gonna have a good time. So we’re gonna have a good time.”

SUMMARY:Choro Louco (Brazilian Choro)
DESCRIPTION:Brazilian Choro has been around for over a hundred years.  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 and enormously appealing. \nChoro Louco was formed in 2013 and has evolved into a classic sounding choro ensemble. They are driven by a love of the music and a desire to share it with others. \nCarl Dimow\, flute and guitar\, has played jazz\, classical\, and klezmer music here and abroad with the Casco Bay Tummlers\, and numerous other ensembles. Nicole Rabata is well known for her diverse musical interests\, including celtic\, classical and Brazilian choro genres.  Joel 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. David Newsam. 7-string guitar and mandolin\, brings decades of experience as a jazz and classical guitarist to his choro playing.  Eric La Perna\, fabulous percussionist with Okbari and Alhan\, brings his great hand percussion skills to the pandeiro\, the Brazilian tambourine.
