SUMMARY:The Do Rites featuring Miss Kelly Haigh

SUMMARY:Nels Cline\, Scott Amendola\, Peggy Lee\, Lisa Cay Miller\, Lisen Rylander Löve
DESCRIPTION:One of Rolling Stone’s top 100 guitarists of all time\, Nels Cline (Wilco) is simultaneously why people want to learn guitar\, and why they decide that maybe they should just pursue other interests. For Scott Amendola (Bill Frisell\, John Scofield)\, the drum kit isn’t so much an instrument as a musical portal. Internationally acclaimed Swedish saxophonist/vocalist/composer Lisen Rylander Löve melds acoustic and electronic sounds to create compelling soundscapes. Cellist Peggy Lee is the rock of Vancouver’s creative music scene. Her spectacular musicality can be heard with a dizzying variety of projects. “If the new improvisational movement means to convey the spirit of jazz without reiterating its stylistic clichés\, then Vancouver-based pianist Lisa Miller deserves to be considered one of its leading lights” (The Globe and Mail).

SUMMARY:Nels Cline & Scott Amendola are Stretch Woven
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in a duo setting\, these forward-thinking masters marry the (somewhat) familiar to the farthest of far out.

SUMMARY:Ethiopiques: Revolt of the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Maciek Bochniak | Poland/Germany | 2017 | 70 minutes | Rated: PG \nIn the late 1960s\, record store owner-turned-music producer Amha Eshete noticed something strange—there was no Ethiopian music being produced and sold in his country. Herein began the birth of recorded Ethiopian music\, imbued with the flavours of funk\, soul and jazz. While technically illegal at the time\, the music was celebrated by the people and tolerated by the country’s then-monarch. But in 1975\, new governmental\npowers hit the pause button on this new musical expression. Ethiopiques: Revolt of the Soul explores this rich history through a lively compilation of interviews with Eshete\, Falceto\, and many of the Ethiopian musicians—including Girma Bèyènè\, pianist and arranger for the Walias Band. \nPresented with
