Esperanza Spalding
Thursday, October 07, 2010 07:30 PM
In her mid-twenties, gifted American-born bassist and vocalist Esperanza Spalding has been called the “new hope for jazz” by The New Yorker. (Not to mention one of Oprah’s “10 Women On The Rise” for 2010.) Her one-of-a-kind sound is a jazz fusion of funk, soul, R&B, Brazilian samba and even a touch of hip-hop. She's an artist not easily categorized. Or forgotten.

Judy Collins
Friday, October 08, 2010 07:30 PM
She has sent in the clowns. And looked at life from both sides now. For over fifty years, Judy Collins has been more than a Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter. She’s been one the pillars of American folk music. Continuing to travel the world, she still thrills audiences with her soaring soprano and her poetic lyrics. We think you’ll agree with writer Richard Farino who once said, "If amethysts could sing, they’d sound like Judy Collins."

DAEDELUS: Remixes The Ring Cycle
Saturday, April 17, 2010 7:30 AM
"Daedelus demonstrates that experimentalism and emotional immediacy are not contradicting forces and neither are intellect and sheer funkiness." - THE WORD
Back by overwhelming demand, and in collaboration with the LA Opera's Ring Cycle Project, Daedelus returns with his own interpretation of Wagner's operatic masterpiece. This is a chance to see one of the most respected new voices of laptop electronica in a first-time experiment with special guest video artists from Europe. For those familiar with the music of The Ring, this promises to be a unique, singular experience.

BRAZILIAN CHORO AND SAMBA WITH KATIA MORAES AND TED FALCON featuring BANDA BRASIL
Saturday, May 15, 2010 7:30 PM
"...Moraes' singing, as always, was a virtual definition of the passion that is an implicit part of Brazilian music."
- Los Angeles Times
A rare opportunity to see famed Brazilian singer Katia Moraes team up with South American folk authority Ted Falcon from the Los Angeles Choro Ensemble. Choro is considered the first popular music of Brazil and often described as the "New Orleans style jazz" from South America. The style often has a fast and happy rhythm, characterized by virtuosity and improvisation.
The Brazilian singer and lyricist Katia Moraes began her career in Rio de Janeiro in the 80's with her energetic band "O Espirito da Coisa" . Since then she has performed and/or recorded with top Brazilian acts like Sergio Mendes, Airto Moreira and Oscar Castro-Neves. Kátia currently performs with Sambaguru and Pure Samba (which was awarded an L.A. Treasure Award by the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department).
Ted Falcon has had a varied and impressive career as a violinist, working with such diverse artists as Suzanne Vega, Weezer and Brazilian legend Gilberto Gil. Though violin is rarely seen in Choro music, Ted's knowledge and skills within the artform led to a professorship at one of the most famous music schools in Brazil. Banda Brasil includes some of the finest Brazilian folk artists in the country.
