October 2012 • EARSHOT JAZZ • 19 Featured Seattle Artist Evan Flory-Barnes

This year, we are pleased to introduce a new aspect of the Earshot Jazz Festival. Our “Featured Seattle Artist” segment will focus on an active resident artist who is making consistent, exciting contributions to the Seattle jazz scene. We are delighted to welcome bassist Evan Flory-Barnes as our 2012 Featured Seattle Artist, and to feature him in several festival performances, in a variety of creative contexts. Evan Flory-Barnes has been an increasingly visible and positive pres- ence on the vibrant Seattle jazz scene in recent years. He is a compelling performer with a gorgeous tone, remarkable breadth of technique, and an obvious commitment to a deep, joyous groove. Flory-Barnes came up through Seattle’s noted Garfield High School music program, but chose a path through the orchestra program under Marcus Tsutakawa, rather than Clarence Acox’s jazz band. He came to broader attention of area jazz lovers in the late 1990s as the bassist in the early trio of the remarkable pianist Aaron Parks, when they met at the University of Washington. He is featured on the pianist’s breakout release, First Romance. His expansive creative sensibilities – definitely not limited to one or two easily defined genres – combined with an open interest in new experience, have led him to a wide variety of musical collaborations on many stages, far and near. His artistic vision is clearly based in pos- sibilities, rather than caution.

Presented by Live @ Benaroya Hall Tickets from $30 Perhaps Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder said it best: “Jake is taking [the ukulele] to a place that I can’t see anyone else catching up with him.” It’s rare for a young musician to earn comparisons to the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis. It’s even harder to find an artist who has entirely redefined an instrument by his early thirties. But Jake Shimabukuro (she-ma-boo-koo-row) has already accom- plished these feats, and more, in a little over a decade of playing and recording music on the ukulele. In the hands of Shimabukuro, this traditional Hawaiian instrument of four strings and two octaves is stretched and molded into a complex and bold new musical force. Jake and his “uke” effortlessly mix jazz, rock, classical, traditional Hawaiian music and folk, creating a sound that is technically masterful, emo- tionally powerful and utterly unique in the music world.

Schwitters left a few pages of instructions for reciters, and Blonk’s own internalization of the piece since he first heard it in 1979, and subse- quent performances, make quite an odyssey for the vocal performance art- ist. “The piece is very much founded in the directness of real life,” Blonk writes. Blonk was born in 1953, Woerden, Holland. The self-taught composer, performer, poet and vocal perfor- mance talent used the voice as his main means for the discovery and de- velopment of new sounds for almost two decades. From about the year 2000, Blonk started work with elec- tronics, at first using samples of his own voice, then extending to include sound synthesis. A year off of perform- ing in 2006 prompted a renewed inter- est in mathematics and research into the possibilities of algorithmic compo- sition for the creation of music, visual animation and poetry. As a vocalist, Blonk is unique in his powerful stage presence and almost childlike freedom in improvisation, combined with a keen grasp of struc- ture. – SH

SUSAN PASCAL Swedish American drummer Callen “Cal” Radcliffe Tjader Jr. learned how to play the vibraphone while perform- ing with pianist Dave Brubeck. His good vibes got him a job with pianist George Shearing. Later, Tjader sought out Cuban musicians to ply the warm waters of the late 1950s mambo craze. The title track of his 1964 album Soul Sauce, a cover of a Dizzy Gillespie song, climbed the radio charts and sold more than 100,000 copies. Pascal began collecting music for this project in 2009, and the program has grown ever since. The mambo music in the band’s book and mondo talent on stage create an embarrass- ment of riches. “It’s tough to decide which tunes to use,” Pascal says. “There are so many great ones to choose from. It’s a balancing of mix- ing familiar hits with unknown gems. We start with the groundbreaking work of Mongo Santamaria and Diz- zy Gillespie, then add collaborations of Cal Tjader and Clare Fischer with modern twists from and Don Grolnick.” Pascal studied with Tom Collier, di- rector of percussion studies at the Uni- versity of Washington since 1980 and newly appointed chair of jazz studies.
