Comprising drummer Bobby Sanabria, saxophonist Michael Hashim, bassist Frank Wagner, and percussionist Obanilu Allende, the group has released three albums and was called “a cross-cultural collaboration that spins and grooves” by the New York City Jazz Record. Sat, Dec 7 at 9pm Judith Owen and Harry Shearer’s Holiday Sing-Along Actor and comedian Harry Shearer (The Simpsons, Le Show) and his wife, critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter and humorist Judith Owen, come to BAMcafé Live for an evening of holiday music and mirth. The event unites Christmas-lovers and Scrooges alike, with traditional and non- traditional holiday music. A few surprise guests will drop in for this part performance, part sing-along holiday season kick-off. Fri, Dec 13 at 9pm The Will Calhoun Trio Acclaimed jazz drummer Will Calhoun rose to fame as a member of the Grammy Award-winning hard rock group Living Colour. He has studied music in Senegal and Mali, and experiments with genres such as world music, ambient electronica, jazz, and hip-hop. Calhoun goes back to his roots on his latest project, Life In This World—a jazz-oriented album featuring the legendary bassist Ron Carter. Sat, Dec 14 at 9pm The GrooveBarbers' A Cappella Holiday Concert The GrooveBarbers is an all-vocal powerhouse quartet featuring Sean Altman, Charlie Evett, and Steve Keyes of the pioneering modern a cappella group Rockapella (Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?), as well as Kevin Weist. The ensemble is the go-to vocal group for rock, doo-wop, jazz, barbershop and—with the help of guest diva Inna Dukach— a hybrid genre they call “doowopera”. Deemed “a cappella rock and soul royalty” by the Village Voice, the GrooveBarbers will be joined at BAMcafé by beat-boxer extraordinaire Ed Chung of Duwende. Fri, Dec 20 at 9pm The Sway Machinery The Sway Machinery comprises Jeremiah Lockwood (guitar and vocals), Jordan McLean (trumpet), Nikhil Yerawadekar (bass), Matt Bauder (saxophone), and John Bollinger (drums). The group’s sound is rooted in the cantorial tradition, with influences from each individual member’s musical past. The Sway Machinery has played in Australia, Israel, Poland, and Mali, and at Montreal Jazz Festival and Roskilde Festival in Denmark. The band’s upcoming EP, Monsters of the Ancient World, combines analog Brooklyn grime with loving echoes of West African pop music and futurist anthem rock. Sat, Dec 21 at 9pm TamarRaqs Winter Solstice Hafla TamarRaqs ushers in the winter season with an evening of North African and Middle Eastern music and dance. Her much celebrated hafla—“party” in Arabic—will feature Scott Wilson & Efendi and dancer JennyRaqs, who will help her ring in the longest night of the year. Tamar has studied Raqs Sharqi (bellydancing) with masters such as Arianna al Tiye, Dalia Carella, and Elena Lentini and has performed at venues including Falucka, Au Bar, Lafayette Grill, and Café Figaro. Fri, Dec 27 & Sat, Dec 28 at 9pm Charanga Soleil Charanga Soleil is a critically-acclaimed musical ensemble that brings together Cuban salsa, Congolese rumba-soukous, Haitian compas, Puerto Rican plena-bomba, and the beats of the African Diaspora. In addition to the standard charanga instrumentation (flute, violin, piano, bass, conga, vocals, and chorus), the instrumentation includes the Cuban tres and a full drum set, as well as a 21- string West African kora.

  • May 1, 2007 and Been Reborn As Rush Hour with a New, Ex-Champion Bass – Norm Thompson
    From David McEachern, Presentation Judge: Show the rhythmic drive visually as well as vocally, more consistency in facial expressions, more playfulness facially. From Chris Arnold, Music Judge: Tuning was an issue in the first measures, pay attention to vowel matching and taller sounds, swing songs require more emphasis on beats 2 & 4, a bit too wordy (emphasis on words instead of phrases). But as Greg Moss pointed out, we didn’t hear some of the same old comments from judges, because of our improvements. We ended up 8th out of 12 competing choruses. We also competed in Plateau 3, because our previous score had been in the 600s (total pts). See: http://www.pioneerdistrict.org/C&J/plateau_explained.htm We scored just a click less than Traverse City’s Cherry Capitol Chorus, which was encouraging, because we were able to hear them, and they sounded great. For some strange reason, Mt Pleasant’s Mountaintown Singers came to sing and be scored, but not to compete. Their score would have beaten eventual winner, Lansing’s Capitol City Chordsmen (who scored 847 points for a 70.6 average). The thirteen quartets ranged quite a bit in quality, and it seemed to us (and the judges) that the average quality also deteriorated from Friday night to Saturday night. Fermata Nowhere led the scoring Friday night, but Wildcard had higher scores Saturday, nearly upsetting Fermata. Moxxie was in the running Friday night but fell to 7th after the Finals. Infinity has died Vol. 7, No. 1, (#73) May 1, 2007 and been reborn as Rush Hour with a new, ex-champion bass – Norm Thompson.
