GLOBAL "Janel and Anthony are an important step in the evolution of music. They both exist on so many levels, each piece is like a hundred doors opening up!" – Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins) “Janel & Anthony - guitars and 'cello respectively - play a haunting and humbly virtuosic form of music wherein the elements of electronics, looping, and lo-fi timbres live both in intimacy and in majesty in the same house as acoustic instruments and folk/blues- inspired melodies. As such, it is both timely and timeless, drenched as it is in intoxicating atmosphere; wan, quiet voices submitting to waves of sonic drama. Who could possibly resist it?” – Nels Cline (Wilco, Nels Cline Singers) Janel and Anthony are a Washington DC based instrumental duo whose elegant experimental music has gained the attention of some of the world’s most important improvisers and musicians, and captivated live audiences (and NPR and BBC listeners) locally and abroad. For Where Is Home, their second album and first release on Cuneiform, the duo have created a lush, orchestral work investigating the treacherous emotional terrain at the hyper-mobile heart of 21st century America. Drawing on everything from Hindustani ragas and surf rock licks to Appalachian laments and post-bop harmonies, the album alternates between intricately lapidary, electro-acoustic soundscapes and brief improvised dialogues.

  • As Was--Press Packet
    Rova:Arts Rova Saxophone Quartet As Was The Rova Saxophone Quartet was founded in the San Francisco Bay Area in October 1977 by Jon Raskin, Larry Ochs, Andrew Voigt and Bruce Ackley. The ensemble performed its first concert at the 3rd Annual Free Music Festival at Mills College in Oakland, California, in February 1978. Inspired by a broad spectrum of musical influences—from Charles Ives, Edgard Varese, Olivier Messiaen and John Cage to John Coltrane, Anthony Braxton, Steve Lacy and Ornette Coleman—Rova began writing new material, touring, recording (its first album Cinema Rovaté was released on Ochs' Metalanguage label) and collaborating with such like-minded colleagues as guitarist Henry Kaiser and Italian percussionist Andrea Centazzo. Early in its history, Rova performed both at the Vancouver New Music Society (1978) and the Moers International Festival of New Jazz in Germany (1979). Over the next few years Rova performed widely throughout North America and Europe, and in 1983 it became the first new music group from the U.S. to tour the Soviet Union. Saxophone Diplomacy , a documentary video of the tour, was aired on PBS throughout the U.S. 1983 also saw the release of the landmark recording Favorite Street – Rova Plays Lacy. In 1986, Rova (which had incorporated as a not- for-profit organization the previous year) hosted the Ganelin Trio, the first Soviet jazz group to appear in the U.S. The trio performed with Rova in the first of the Pre-Echoes series of collaborative events, which would later include concerts with Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, Terry Riley and others.

    HITTY HITTY BANG BANG: PERCUSSION BITTER AND SWEET by Ian Muldoon* ____________________________________________________ ell into adulthood I had a recurring dream that I was in a jazz club, an underground one, perhaps The Basement in Sydney, or The Village W Vanguard in New York, and I was with some beautiful people. I am not beautiful. These people were also hip. I am not hip. Of any measurable musical skill or talent, I am devoid as far as can be determined. This is not false modesty, just an acceptance of reality. In this jazz club there is a band playing - possibly one lead by Chico Freeman. It’s a quartet and the drummer is Jack DeJohnette. Half way through the first set, DeJohnette collapses during a drum solo. Mayhem ensues. Ambulance arrives and removes the drummer. Jack DeJohnette: he collapses during a drum solo. Mayhem ensues…. When things settle Mr Freeman takes the microphone and announces that in the light of the circumstances, they have to cancel the remainder of the evening’s music. He goes on “…unless there was someone present of Jack’s genius on drums, we have no choice but to call it a night.” I stand and say: “ I know the great man’s music. Give me a minute to show you…” Silence. I remain standing. I maintain my _________________________________________________________ *Ian Muldoon has been a jazz enthusiast since, as a child, he heard his aunt play Fats Waller and Duke Ellington on the household piano. At around ten years of age he was given a windup record player and a modest supply of steel needles, on which he played his record collection, consisting of two 78s, one featuring Dizzy Gillespie and the other Fats Waller.

  • Press Release
    Contact: Glenn Siegel, Ken Irwin, (413) 545-2876 www.fineartscenter.com/magictriangle THE 2011 MAGIC TRIANGLE JAZZ SERIES PRESENTS: The Celestial Septet: ROVA Sax Quartet + Nels Cline Singers The Magic Triangle Jazz Series, produced by WMUA, 91.1FM and the Fine Arts Center at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, begins its 22nd season on Thursday, February 24, at Bowker Auditorium with an 8:00pm performance by The Celestial Septet: ROVA Sax Quartet + Nels Cline Singers. “The Celestial Septet is a vehicle for time and space travel through dense, narrow thickets and airy, wide expanses of boundary-blurred extrapolations of jazz, rock, late-20th-century European modernism and American minimalism, and 21st-century postmodern fusions,” writes Derk Richardson in the liner notes of the Septet’s recent New World Records release. “The trip is challenging, but the open-minded listener/traveler cannot help but come through the experience with new perspectives on sound and music.” Since forming in 1977, the Berkley-based ROVA Saxophone Quartet has become an important leader of genre-bending music. The Penguin Guide to Jazz calls its music "a teeming cosmos of saxophone sounds" created by "deliberately eschewing conventional notions about swing [and] prodding at the boundaries of sound and space..." Inspired by a broad spectrum of musical influences - from Charles Ives, Edgard Varese and Olivier Messiaen, to John Coltrane, Steve Lacy and Sun Ra - Rova began, in 1978, writing new material, touring, and recording, including adventurous collaborations with guitarists Henry Kaiser and Fred Frith, saxophonist John Zorn, and Italian percussionist Andrea Centazzo. In 1985, the Rova Saxophone Quartet incorporated as the not-for-profit organization Rova:Arts.
