SUMMARY:Liturgy with BIG|BRAVE + Farida Amadou (solo)
DESCRIPTION:Liturgy \nSonically and conceptually dense\, Liturgy’s ferocious and transcendental black metal exists in a liminal space between experimental music and sacred ritual; a place where the power and dynamism of symphonic forms\, urgent sheets of distorted guitar\, pummeling burst beats\, and passionate\, throat-strafing vocals manifest the ecstatic with breathtaking grandeur. \nFounded in Brooklyn by vocalist/guitarist Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix\, the group’s meticulous rhythmic complexity and unyielding\, trance-inducing use of repetition is pushed to maximalist proportions on the new album 93696. With guitarist Mario Miron\, bassist Tia Vincent-Clark\, and drummer Leo Didkovsky\, Hunt-Hendrix reflects the awe of the unknowable and celebrates what revelations and mysteries lie ahead. \n \nBIG|BRAVE \nHarnessing an earthen heaviness of distorted textural drones\, austere bombast\, and guitarist Robin Wattie’s heart-rending voice\, BIG|BRAVE is at the forefront of reconfiguring the landscape of heavy music. With guitarist Mathieu Ball and drummer Tasy Hudson\, the elemental Montréal ensemble brandishes density and sparseness like weapons in their emotional elegies for the disenfranchised. \n\nFarida Amadou (solo) \nBelgian bassist Farida Amadou uses electronics and extended technique to conjure abstracted sounds that move from miniscule to overwhelming. \nVenue 19+ (No Minors)

SUMMARY:Sun Ra Arkestra
DESCRIPTION:An enormous influence on generations of avant-jazz players—as well as artists ranging from Sonic Youth to Solange—the visionary Afrofuturism pioneer Sun Ra released over a hundred albums between the mid-1950s and his departure for Saturn in 1993. But the Sun Ra Arkestra continues to beam Ra’s cosmic messages around our humble planet\, sometimes collecting mementos like a 2022 GRAMMY nomination for their album Swirling\, which was called “challenging but intoxicating” by The Guardian\, and “a total joy” by The Wire. \nKnown for melding Ellingtonian big band swing\, transcendent free jazz\, dancing\, chanting\, and lavishly-outfitted Afro-pageantry\, the 13-piece Arkestra will touch down to make sure Ra’s “Afrofuturist ideas and concepts are still hurtling through space at light speed” (Rolling Stone). \n— \nThe Sun Ra Arkestra features Noel Scott alto and tenor saxes\, Vincent Chancey French horn\, Elson Nascimento percussion/surdo\, Tyler Mitchell bass\, Wayne Smith drums\, Cecil Brooks trumpet\, James Stewart tenor sax\, Tara Middleton vocals\, D. Hotep guitar\, Dave Davies trombone\, Farid Barron piano\, Beavin Lawrence baritone sax\, Kevin Batchelor trumpet.

SUMMARY:The Ostara Project
DESCRIPTION:Rhythm Changes presciently noted that “this supergroup should be a major player at Canadian jazz festivals this year”\, and indeed The Ostara Project—spearheaded by award-winning musicians Jodi Proznick bass and Amanda Tosoff piano—is gracing ten of the country’s finest Summer fests with their lyrical contemporary jazz. \nShowcasing the range and creativity of Canadian women in jazz\, the group’s membership is fluid\, calling on a Who’s-Who of top-tier musicians\, composers\, and bandleaders. What’s constant is the collective artistic heart that led to a 2023 Vocal Jazz Album of the Year JUNO nomination for their debut recording. In a genre and industry where women are severely underrepresented\, the Ostara Project is a beautiful example of perseverance\, community\, and a deep love for the music. Like the Germanic goddess of spring the group is named for\, Ostara is creativity rising out of darkness\, reaching for light\, propelled by hope. \nProznick and Tosoff are joined by Allison Au sax\, Rachel Therrien trumpet\, Valérie Lacombe drums\, Laila Biali piano and Shruti Ramani voice.
