Don’t miss this opportunity to hear this young jazz sensation about whom Wynton Marsalis raved, “Grace Kelly plays with intelligence, wit and feeling … a first-class musician.” And acclaimed musician, writer, and producer David Was raved on NPR, “What if I told you that the future of jazz…rested in the hands of a Ko- rean American saxophonist named Grace Kelly?…. I’ve heard the future of jazz and it is Grace Kelly.” Saxophonist Grace Kelly has played with the Boston Pops and with Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at Lincoln Center and at D.C.’s Ken- nedy Center. She fronts her own band and has recorded and/or performed with Harry Connick, Jr., Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis, Phil Woods, Frank Morgan, Esperanza Spalding, Toots Thielemans, Hank Jones, Chris Potter, Rufus Reid, Kenny Barron, Dianne Reeves, Billy Hart, Ann Hampton Callaway, James Cotton, and Terri Lynn Carrington. She’s played the major jazz festivals in the U.S. and Europe, has eight recordings on her own label, and been featured on CNN, ABC, NPR’s “Piano Jazz,” and in the LA Times, Jazz Times, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, The Observer/London, Downbeat, and Glamour. And she just turned 20. Tickets for the Grace Kelly Quintet are $28 general, $25 WKC Member and $11 under 19. The West Kortright Centre is located 49 West Kortright Church Road in East Meredith, NY, mid-way between the towns of Oneonta, Delhi, and Stamford. To purchase tickets or for more information, log onto www.westkc.org or call 607 278 5454. Mixed Media Works by Patti Gibbons, “Escapes,” at The Storefront Gallery in Kingston The Storefront Gallery in Kingston is pleased to feature the paintings and mixed media works of Patti Gibbons in a show titled “Escapes.” The opening reception is Saturday, October 5 from 5 to 8 pm, and the show runs through October 26. In “Escapes,” Kingston artist Patti Gibbons explores images from the physical and the metaphysical worlds. Her landscapes depict vistas that move her deeply: olive trees on a hill, delicate clouds at sunset, a field of hay rolls. Her abstract drawings portray personal experi- ences that emerge from after starting with automatic, or “Poets Walk,” by Patti Gibbons blind drawings. Whether working in realism or in the abstract, Gibbons states: “The studio is a dream world. Once the door is closed the outside world is shut out, it is an escape to a place of wonder, exploration, and magic; a place where one feels most peaceful and complete. Originally from Long Island, Patti Gibbons considers herself a native of the area as she has spent most of her life residing in and being inspired by the Hudson Valley. It is a place that has captured both her heart and her creative muse. Ms. Gibbons was immersed in the arts from an early age, designing for local businesses, showing her work regionally and internationally. She obtained her AA degree in Visual Arts, followed by a Bachelors and Masters in Art Education from the State University at New Paltz. She has been teaching art to special needs students for 20 years. Recently leaving her teaching career, she is passionately pursuing her dream to design and paint full time. Ms. Gibbons’ work depicts vistas of the Hudson Valley and of her travels. Those works, as well as her abstract “mindscapes,” portray an intimate and personal view of both the physical and subconscious world. The Storefront Gallery is located at 93 Broadway in Kingston. Gallery hours are Saturday from 1-6 pm, by appointment and 24/7 through the storefront windows. For more information, call 845 338 8473 or visit www.TheStorefrontGallery.com. 4 • www.catskillregionguide.com October 2013 • guide 5 Cello and Piano Duo Kalayjian & Kazantsev at Saugerties Pro Musica this October Saugerties Pro Musica is proud to present the piano duo of Kalayjian and Kazantsev on October 20 at 3 pm at Sau- gerties United Methodist Church.

Morricone’s career spanned almost 70 years and included groundbreadking scores for films of many genres. His compositions incorporated music performed by orchestras and ensembles of all sizes, playing many different instruments and even incorporating seemingly non-instrumental sounds such as the famous coyote-like howling in the opening of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

  • Aaron Diehl - Biography

    Aaron Diehl - Biography

    Aaron Diehl - Biography A 32-year-old classically trained pianist and composer, Aaron Diehl has made an indelible mark on the jazz world over the last 15 years. Showing an affinity for early jazz and mid-20th century “third-stream” music, his latest evolution comes as he begins to tackle modern classical works, performing works by George Gershwin with the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra and LA Philharmonic in the last year alone. Diehl has collaborated with living masters ranging from from NEA Jazz Master Benny Golson to 20th century classical titan Philip Glass, while establishing himself as one of the preeminent interpreters of the Great American Songbook in his own trio and with the vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant. Critics from The New York Times jazz critics have have extolled Mr. Diehl’s “melodic precision, harmonic erudition, and elegant restraint,” while the same paper’s classical critics have noted, “Mr. Diehl play[s] magnificently.” His meticulously conceived performances, collaborations, and compositions are refreshing as his highly personal aesthetic spearheads a union of tradition and original artistry, while bounding ahead on an uncharted course. Born in 1985 in Columbus, Ohio to a funeral director and a former Olympian turned education administrator, Aaron Diehl grew up in a nurturing musical environment. His grandfather, Arthur Baskerville, a pianist and trombonist was an early influence. He began studying classical piano at age 7, while his passion for jazz was further fueled while attending the Interlochen Arts Camp as a pre-teen, where he met the pianist Eldar, who exposed him to Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum recordings.

When she walked away with first place in the jazz world’s most prestigious contest, the buzz began almost immediately. If anything, it has intensified in the months leading up to the launch of her Mack Avenue Records debut, WomanChild. “She has poise, elegance, soul, humor, sensuality, power, virtuosity, range, insight, intelligence, depth and grace,” Wynton Marsalis asserts. “I’ve never heard a singer of her generation who has such a command of styles,” remarks pianist Aaron Diehl. “She radiates authority,” critic Ben Ratliff wrote in The New York Times in response to one of her post- competition performances, and a few weeks later his colleague Stephen Holden announced that “Ms. McLorin Salvant has it all…. If anyone can extend the lineage of the Big Three—Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald—it is this 23-year-old virtuoso.” Yet at almost every step of the way, McLorin Salvant has followed a different path from her peers.

Although at least half of the fire towers operated beyond 1972 payroll records for that period do not seem to exist and the likelihood that any of these records might be found are remote. For that reason this is an incomplete accounting of all the Observers, but it is the most comprehensive source available. Dates are provided for the Observers who staffed the fire towers in the Adirondack and Catskill regions beyond 1972 which were obtained from the books by Martin Podskoch; The Catskill Fire Towers; Their History and Lore and The Adirondack Fire Towers; Their History and Lore - Northern and Southern Districts. Yet these records too are incomplete as they are from the recollections of the people interviewed by Mr. Podskoch.
