BAM cafe 2 Friday, November 4 at 9pm Travis Sullivan's Bjorkestra "This is the hippest of New York's downtown jazz scene, spun into a context that can be easily digested by younger fans with an appetite for pop music. " -Boston Globe Travis Sullivan's Bjorkestra blends the music of eclectic artist Bjork's visionary techno pop with the harmonic and improvisational elements of modem jazz. Comprised of some of New York City's finest jazz musicians, this eighteen-piece ensemble features full hom and rhythm sections, talented vocalist Diana Kazakova, as well as laptop electronics. Individual members of Bjorkestra have performed with the likes of Charlie Hunter, Ray Charles, The Spam Allstars, Jessica Simpson, and the "Saturday Night Live" band. Saturday, November 5 at 9pm NextNext: Shusmo Concluding BAMcafe Live's NextNext music series (of groundbreaking artists in their 20s) is Shusmo, a New York-based musical ensemble that strives to blend various elements of jazz and Middle Eastern music. Founding member Tareq Abboushi, grew up in Ramallah and plays the buzuq, a pear-shaped lute with a long neck found mainly in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories. The group has recorded the theme music for WBAI radio's "Fen Meshnoon with Dean and Maysoon," and performed at The Jerusalem Festival. Friday, November 11 at 9pm Greta Gertler "A spacious voice and a welcome weakness for lushly orchestrated 70s-era singer-songwriter pop." -The New Yorker Australian-born, Brooklyn-based pianist and singer-songwriter Greta Gertler's sound is a unique mix of sweet pop, Slavic rhythms, New Orleans swing, jazz, and contemporary classical sensibilities. For tonight's show, she performs with her backup band, The Extroverts, featuring Matt Moran on percussion, Ros Caswell on tuba, guitarist Pete Galub, lap steel blues and jazz guitarist Michael Gomez, and Eliot Krimsky on glockenspiel and organ. Gertler's latest recording, Nervous Breakthroughs. cemented her reputation as an intriguing and ultra­ talented musician on the rise, who the TheW all Street Journal described as possessing a "sweet lyrical voice, an arrestingly quirky sensibility, and a chamber-pop band that fits no pigeonholes." Saturday, November 12 at 9pm Fred Ho and the Afro Asian Music Ensemble "The music merges Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus with Chinese instruments and vocal styles from Western opera, Chinese opera, and jazz; for a fusion that never seems forced. " -The New York Times Composer and interdisciplinary artist Fred Ho and his Afro Asian Music Ensemble return to BAMcafe for an evening of epic music spanning Africa, Asia, and the Americas-all sources of their musical and thematic inspiration. For tonight's performance the ensemble plays excerpts from Ho's compositional oeuvres including-The Black Panther Suite, the martial arts-sword epic Deadly She-Wolf Assassin at Armageddon, and many others. Ho will be joined by Ed Jackson on alto sax, David Bindman on tenor, Royal Hartigan on drums, Wes Brown on bass, Art Hirahara on piano, and Jennifer Kidwell on vocals. Friday, November 18 at 9pm Daniel Isengart: Do you Nomi Now? more .... BAMc afe 3 "A Cabaret Sensation"- Time Out New York In an avant-garde fusion of opera, German cabaret, and pop, Daniel Isengart brings to life the repertoire and style of the late countertenor and New Wave icon, Klaus Nomi. An extremely refined, dramatic performer, Isengart's acclaimed one-man show consists of a unique blend of intense German kabarett, intelligent popular hits, and sophisticated French chansons. He has drawn audiences of all ages and backgrounds to such diverse performance spaces as the notorious Bar d'O in Greenwich Village, Cafe Sabarsky at the Neue Galerie, and Berlin's legendary cabaret establishment, Bar Jeder Vernunft. Isengart is keen on moving away from the cabaret cliche, revealing the understated and sensitive side of Germany's popular songs. His interpretations of Nomi' s repertoire (Nomi himself was a cabaret enthusiast) should make for an electrifying night. Saturday, November 19 at 9pm Songs from a Random House New York's Songs from a Random House is an electric ukulele/viola/upright bass/percussion/voice combo formed in the mid-80s by musicians Steven Swartz and Alan Drogin. The group's current lineup also features violist Gregor Kitzis, string bassist Jason DiMatteo, and drummer John Bollinger. The group's unique instrumentation and exciting live shows led The Boston Patriot-Ledger to say the band has "a sound and song craft unlike any other band heard in popular music right now ... alternately mysterious, propulsive and comedic." With tonight's performance the group marks its 20th anniversary and will play music from its latest CD gLISTEN. Friday and Saturday, November 25th & 26th at 9pm Akim Funk Buddha's "Hip Hop Holiday" Storytelling, throat-singing, beat-boxing B-Boy emcee Akim Funk Buddha returns to BAMcafe over Thanksgiving weekend to present two nights of collaborations with New York City's hottest emerging talents. After leaving his native Zimbabwe in 1990, Akim began experimenting with hip-hop, tap dancing, poetry, and Mongolian throat-singing, merging these into a smorgasbord of expression. He and his creative cohorts utilize all these forms while reconstructing, restoring, and reclaiming hip-hop in the service of art and culture. One night will feature Zimbabwe Legit, Akim's hip-hop ensemble with his brother Dumi (head of the Hip Hop Restoration Council in Washington, D.C.). The next night will feature the EboNYasia project-exploring multiculturalism in hip-hop and performance art forms-and including cellist Dana Leong.

  • Recent Critical Praise for My Brightest Diamond's This Is My Hand
    Recent critical praise for My Brightest Diamond’s This Is My Hand Favorite Songs of 2014 “‘Pressure’: This baroque pop gem opens with drum corps and woodwinds, tacks on a tribal rhythm breakdown and just goes for it. All the way.” “…one of the most powerful and dramatic voices of the past decade.” “…an ability to cultivate intimacy through flawless, complex production with a beating heart.” “As a musician, Worden (who performs as My Brightest Diamond) builds her songs deliberately and impeccably…words are painted, sounds are sculpted, and the nature of Worden’s voice itself adds dimension—more than a single vocalist usually can. Her wholly enveloping, finely tuned alto sounds by turns forceful, vulnerable, cooing, playful, and endlessly emotive.” “…has a feeling for both the grandeur and the grain, building every sweeping gesture in her music out of a swarm of small details.” The Best of 2014 “…added to her smart, savvy chamber pop the influence of funk and marching bands. Her flawless voice pecks, jabs and floats above a world of rhythm that gives the new music its motion and undeniable heartbeat.” “At times, This Is My Hand all but commands listeners to dance.” “On her new album, This Is My Hand, she continues to reach far and wide with great success, adding marching-band rhythms and funky horns to her mix.” “…sounds like a modern-day Nina Simone…” “…This is My Hand works on a visceral level, conjuring Worden’s intended image of tribal, fireside collaboration through a rich diversity of texture, detail, and tone.” “…successful exercise in percussive, jagged art-pop that explores themes of self-acceptance, sensuality, and community.” “...unique and oddly beautiful.” “…presents an invigorating progression of Worden’s sonic palette…” #3: MBE Producer Ariana Morgenstern’s Top Albums of 2014 “…gorgeous new album…” “This Is My Hand is an album I would recommend to anyone—for exactly all the reasons that it’s hard to write about.

  • Sorcerer Society" by Rob Cesternino
    30 ROCK "Sorcerer Society" by Rob Cesternino Cell: (323)382-3083 [email protected] ACT ONE FADE IN: INT. STUDIO BACKSTAGE - MORNING LIZ walks through the hallways of 30 Rock. JENNA spots Liz and runs over. JENNA Today is the greatest day of my life. My IMDB star meter is up four percent! LIZ Are they finally airing your episode of "Competitive Eating with the Stars". JENNA No, that was last month. Last night I was a guest star on an episode of the new NBC series, “Sorcerer Society”! FLASHBACK TO: INT. SORCERY CLASSROOM - DAY Jenna is dressed as a sorceress standing before a classroom at Sorcery High School. JENNA I'm Mrs. Mongothsbeard, I’ll be substituting for your regular sorcery teacher, who was caught making a very bad potion called “crystal meth”. CUT BACK TO: INT. LIZ’S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS Liz and Jenna walk into Liz’s office. LIZ Jenna, that show sucks! It totally bastardizes the books. 2. JENNA "Sorcerer Society" was a book? Liz points to her shelf of thick “Sorcerer Society” books. LIZ Those books were my only friends in junior high school... besides the teachers. JACK bursts into Liz's office carrying one of the trades. JACK Everybody is buzzing about Jenna this morning and, for once, it’s not because of some compromising photos on “TMZ”. JENNA This is the best thing to happen to me since they dropped the class action lawsuit against my "Jenna Maroney Birth Control Powder"! JACK “Sorcerer Society” is a runaway hit. It’s like "Twilight" meets "Harry Potter" meets "Heroes", before it jumped the shark.

  • Meta-Television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Introduction the Last Decade Has Seen a Number Of
    PREVIOUSLY ON “Cut the Shitcom”: Meta-television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Toni Pape Introduction The last decade has seen a number of fictional TV series about television and film production. These television shows – including the ones to be analysed here: Entourage, Extras, and 30 Rock – relocate the process of creative revitalization in front of the camera. Meta-television, as I understand it here, then is television about the media industry and, more particularly, about the production and quality of film and television itself.1 The three above-mentioned television programs present contemporary writers, actors, directors, etc. working on movies and television shows. Especially Extras and 30 Rock offer a critical overview of how television formats are produced, and they significantly do so in a period of time during which the working conditions for television-makers have fundamentally changed. In a most general sense, the criticism that these shows purport works on two levels. First, as we will see further on, there is an explicit criticism implied in the way the TV shows at hand present the making of a TV show. Thus, there is for instance Andy Millman, the protagonist of Extras about whom I will have more to say later on, who clearly states his dissatisfaction as a disillusioned actor/writer: ANDY: I wanna do something that I’m proud of. And I won’t be proud of shouting out catch phrases in a stupid wig and funny glasses. […] So basically, I’m not going to prostitute myself anymore or my work, ok? (Extras “Orlando Bloom”, 21’30”) In a very outspoken way, the programs in question take stock of television’s outworn creative standards and its resulting mediocrity.
