WELCOME

TO THE BOWL

Welcome back to the Hollywood Bowl, an iconic venue cherished by music lovers and performers alike for nearly a century. The Los Angeles Philharmonic’s summer home has been the site of more legendary performances by nowlegendary artists than any outdoor venue in the U.S. With its unforgettable concerts, its beautiful natural setting, and its distinctive architecture, the Bowl has become a powerful symbol of Los Angeles, embodying our city’s spirit of openness and accessibility. In recent years, our Music Director Gustavo Dudamel has been writing a new chapter in the Bowl’s history that began with his U.S. debut here in 2005 and continues this summer with an outstanding lineup of diverse programming. Highlights include collaborations with celebrated performers like Yo-Yo Ma and Yuja Wang, a concert performance of Verdi’s opera Rigoletto, and a week-long festival, Americas & Americans.

Americas & Americans, which was first produced at Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2009/10, brings to life Gustavo’s global vision of a multi-

cultural community unified by music. The festival will feature a wide range of programs spanning the musical spectrum of two continents.

Gustavo will introduce audiences to Dominican singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra and will collaborate in concert for the very first time with his great friend Plácido Domingo. Other programs within the festival include performances from Rubén Blades, Eddie Palmieri, Sergio Tiempo, and Colombian superstar Juanes. Not only will Juanes be performing for the first time with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, he will also be joined on stage by children from YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles), Gustavo’s signature education program, inspired by Venezuela’s groundbreaking El Sistema.

We are also pleased to welcome back legendary musician Herbie Hancock in his third season as Creative Chair for Jazz, and the incredibly talented Thomas Wilkins, Principal Guest Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. They join a lineup of preeminent artists from all genres, making the Hollywood Bowl season truly the most diverse in the country. There is always something here for everyone and we hope that you, your family, and friends will enjoy your summer evenings with us, under the stars.

It’s hard to imagine a place more suited to enjoying a night of music and friends. The idyllic canyon setting, timeless architecture, and perfect Southern California weather create summer evenings that are truly magical. Performers and audiences have been drawn to this location for over 90 years, and it’s a pleasure to welcome everyone back for another summer season of incredible music.

This year we’ve been especially busy during the off-season. While the winter months are usually filled with a flurry of activity to ready the Bowl for another season of concerts – including the always fun process of working with artists to populate the upcoming calendar of events – this year our staff and partners have been working diligently to make some much-needed improvements around the park.

Most noticeably, our restroom facilities have undergone their first comprehensive, park-wide renovation project since the Bowl first opened. The striking design is the vision of Rios Clementi Hale Studios, the firm behind our much-heralded entryway renovation a few years ago and an important architectural voice throughout L.A. and the rest of the country. R/C/H has taken cues from the iconic architectural history of the Bowl, married them with the colors of the surrounding hillsides,

and updated the mechanics and layouts of the facilities to create a set of restrooms that are bold, playful, and more energy efficient. I think you’ll enjoy the improvements and appreciate the many ways in which they help us conserve precious natural resources.

Other new items are found throughout the park, including a new moving walkway at the main gate – a complicated feat of engineering that replaces an original device installed in 1962 – and rehabilitated concrete work in a variety of locations, replacing stairwells and bringing back to splendor original concrete promenade plinths that date to the original creation of the Bowl. We hope you enjoy the improved aesthetic and functionality these changes bring, and we look forward to making further improvements in the years ahead.

These changes, valued at just over $5 million, were made possible by the financial leadership of the County of Los Angeles. Our deepest gratitude to the Honorable Zev Yaroslavsky and all of the Los Angeles County Supervisors, CEO Bill Fujioka, the County Department of Parks and Recreation, the Department of Public Works, and the Internal Services Department for their partnership and leadership with these construction projects. We’d also like to thank the MTA and the LA County Arts Commission for their ongoing support.

Thanks also to our many media, corporate, and foundation partners, without whom we couldn’t bring you a Bowl season, and to our many loyal and enthusiastic patrons and supporters. Enjoy the summer.

WELCOME

TO THE BOWL

C2

A MESSAGE FROM SUPERVISOR ZEV YAROSLAVSKY Back in the 1930s, my parents moved from New York to Los Angeles, and as ardent classical music aficionados, they soon adopted the new Hollywood Bowl as their summer home away from home. For them, the Bowl was accessible as well as affordable.

Whenever they would visit Los Angeles from out of town, friends and relatives could always count on my parents to make sure they visited four favorite landmarks: Olvera Street, the Huntington Library, Forest Lawn Cemetery with its impressive statuary, and of course, our iconic Hollywood Bowl. As a youngster, I learned from an early age that these were our true cultural shrines, among our most sacred public places in the entire Los Angeles region. Should our friends happen to be visiting in the summer, they could always count on my parents hosting them for a concert at the Bowl. Even during the off-season, my parents would be sure to squire them around for a strolling tour of the empty amphitheater and its surrounding grounds, which I think they truly revered as one of the wonders of the modern world.

Through my formative years, the Bowl remained a central part of my life. My passion was classical concerts, but I also managed to attend some of the countless amazing folk, pop, and political concerts of the day as well. Despite the rush of social change and numerous upheavals roiling our Southern California landscape over the decades, the Hollywood Bowl endures as a cultural lodestar. Nowhere else in the world is there an outdoor theater of this size, boasting performance of such quality in an environment so convivial, located in the heart of a great metropolis.

And with this year’s enhancements, including improved restrooms, a new speed ramp, and stairways, the Bowl will afford you a concert experience better than ever. As it was for my parents’ generation, our Hollywood Bowl remains one of the top cultural attractions of its kind in the world.

The Hollywood Bowl is a County facility operated by our Department of Parks and Recreation, and as the County Supervisor for this Third Supervisorial District, it’s been my pleasure and my privilege to serve as both steward and champion of this facility. I want to take a moment now to acknowledge with warmth and gratitude the invaluable assistance I’ve had from a very special and longstanding member of my staff here at the County, and earlier in the City, who is retiring this year, Ginny Kruger. A more ardent and dedicated champion of the arts and the preservation of the environment will not be found anywhere. Ginny has advised me, represented me, and advocated for me on arts matters since I first assumed County office in 1994, and has had a guiding hand in virtually every major policy and financial aspect of arts policy and arts-related capital projects during my entire tenure. I have relied on her absolutely for wisdom and support, and while I wish her the very best for a relaxing and well-earned retirement, we will deeply miss her dedicated work on behalf of a cause we cherish so much.

Welcome to another unforgettable concert season in the magical realms of summer nights at the Hollywood Bowl!

Zev Yaroslavsky Chairman of the Board Supervisor, Third District County of Los Angeles 14

MUSIC DIRECTOR

GUSTAVO DUDAMEL

Dynamic conductor GUSTAVO DUDAMEL’s passionate music making invigorates audiences of all ages worldwide. He is concurrently serving as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, and the impact of his musical leadership is felt on three continents.

While his commitment to his music director posts in the United States, Sweden, and Venezuela account for 43 weeks of his yearly schedule, Dudamel also guest conducts with a few of the world’s greatest orchestras each season. This season he returns to the Vienna Philharmonic and the Berlin Philharmonic, along with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France in Paris and the Israel Philharmonic. He also returns to La Scala, where he regularly conducts, for a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2.

As Dudamel concludes his third season as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, his contract has already extended through 2018/19, the LA Phil’s centennial season. Under his leadership the Los Angeles Philharmonic has extended its reach to an unprecedented extent via LA Phil LIVE, theatercasts of Los Angeles Philharmonic concerts that reach audiences throughout North America, and through Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA), infl uenced by Venezuela’s widely successful El Sistema.

With YOLA, Dudamel brings music to children in the underserved communities of Los Angeles, and also serves as an inspiration for similar efforts throughout the United States, as well as for programs in Sweden and Scotland.

It is not only the breadth of the audience reached, but also the depth of the programming performed under Gustavo Dudamel that is remarkable. Programs at the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2011/12 represent the best and the boldest: ranging from a new, LA Phil-commissioned oratorio by John Adams titled The Gospel According to the Other Mary, to The Mahler Project – performing the complete symphonic cycle with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra in both Los Angeles and Caracas – to beginning the Mozart/Da Ponte Trilogy this season with Don Giovanni in a staged realization.

In addition to The Mahler Project, Dudamel leads performances with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela in his native Venezuela. These performances, which mark his 13th season as Music Director of the Orchestra, include an offi cial concert to celebrate the bicentennial of Venezuela.

Along with a South American tour, the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela and Gustavo Dudamel tour Europe this season with appearances at the Salzburg Festival, BBC Proms, and La Scala, as well as other venues in Italy, Switzerland, and Turkey.

Entering his fi fth season as music director of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Dudamel conducts the Orchestra in Gothenburg and Stockholm, and on tour to Portugal and Spain. A three–CD box set of live performances with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, including Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9, Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2, and Nielsen’s Symphony No. 4 and Symphony No. 5, was recently released on the Deutsche Grammophon label.

An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist since 2005, Gustavo Dudamel has 15 recordings on the label, ranging in repertoire from Stravinsky’s Le sacre du printemps to Beethoven’s Symphonies Nos. 5 and 7. 2011 releases on iTunes include John Adams’ Slonimsky’s Earbox and Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1 (“Jeremiah”), and Brahms’ Symphony No. 4, all with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. His most recent release with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela is titled Tchaikovsky Shakespeare.

In the area of video/DVD, six releases capture the excitement of important concerts in Gustavo Dudamel’s musical life, including The Inaugural Concert documenting his fi rst gala concert in 2009 as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, New Year’s Eve Concert Gala 2011 with the Berlin Philharmonic, and a Birthday Concert for Pope Benedict XVI, among others. A documentary featuring Dudamel, Let the Children Play, was shown in over 500 movie theaters nationwide in June 2011. Gustavo Dudamel has been featured three times on CBS’s 60 Minutes and recently appeared on a PBS special, Dudamel: Conducting a Life, with Tavis Smiley. He has also taped a program for Sesame Street that aired during the 2011/12 season.

Gustavo Dudamel is one of the most decorated conductors of his generation. In May 2011, he was inducted into the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in consideration of his “eminent merits in the musical art.” The previous year he received the Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts at MIT. Dudamel was inducted into l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres as a Chevalier in Paris in 2009, and received an honorary doctorate from the Universidad Centro-Occidental Lisandro Alvarado in his hometown of Barquisimeto. In 2008, the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra was awarded Spain’s prestigious annual Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts and, along with his mentor José Antonio Abreu, Dudamel was given the Q Prize from Harvard University for extraordinary service to children.

Although named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most infl uential people in 2009, Gustavo Dudamel hails from humble beginnings in the small town of Barquisimeto, Venezuela. Born in 1981, he began violin lessons as a child with José Luis Jiménez at the Jacinto Lara Conservatory. He continued his violin studies with José Francisco del Castillo at the Latin American Academy of Violin. His conducting studies began in 1996 with Rodolfo Saglimbeni and he was given his fi rst conducting position, Music Director of the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra, the same year. In 1999 he was appointed Music Director of the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra and began conducting studies with the orchestra’s founder, Dr. Abreu. In 2004 Dudamel was brought to international attention by winning the inaugural Bamberger Symphoniker Gustav Mahler Competition. These early musical and mentoring experiences molded his commitment to music as an engine for social change – a lifelong passion.

Gustavo Dudamel, his wife Eloisa Maturén, and their infant son divide their time mainly between Caracas and Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC The LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC is reinventing the concept of a 21st-century orchestra under the vibrant leadership of Gustavo Dudamel.

Now in its 93rd season, the Philharmonic is recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras and is received enthusiastically by audiences and critics alike. Both at home and abroad, the Philharmonic is leading the way in innovative programming and redefining the musical experience.

This view is shared by more than one million listeners who experience live performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic each year.

The Philharmonic demonstrates a breadth and depth of programming unrivaled by other orchestras and cultural institutions, performing or presenting nearly 300 concerts throughout the year at its two iconic venues: Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, a popular summer tradition since 1922. The orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles also extends far beyond regular symphony concerts in a concert hall, embracing the schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a vastly diverse community. Among its wide-ranging education initiatives is Youth Orchestra LA (YOLA). Central to YOLA is the Philharmonic’s plan to build, with community partners, youth orchestras in communities throughout Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded by William Andrews Clark Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur musician, who established the city’s first permanent symphony orchestra in 1919. Walter Henry Rothwell became its first music director, serving until 1927 and, since then, ten renowned conductors have served in that capacity: Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-1929); Artur Rodzinski (1929-1933); Otto Klemperer (1933-1939); Alfred Wallenstein (1943-1956); Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959); Zubin Mehta (1962-1978); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984); André Previn (1985-1989); Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009); and, Gustavo Dudamel (2009-present).

In October 2003, the doors to one of the world’s most celebrated venues – the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall – were opened and the Los Angeles Philharmonic took the stage in its new home, which has become known not only as a local cultural landmark, but also as

20

“…a sensational place to hear music... In richness of sound, it has few rivals on the international scene, and in terms of visual drama it may have no rival at all.” (The New Yorker) Praise for both the design and the acoustics of the Hall has been effusive, and the glistening curved steel exterior of the 293,000-square-foot Walt Disney Concert Hall embodies the energy, imagination, and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestra.

Inspired to consider new directions, Dudamel and the Philharmonic aim to find programming that remains faithful to tradition, yet also seeks new ground, new audiences, and new ways to enhance the symphonic music experience. During its 30-week winter subscription season of 110 performances at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Philharmonic creates festivals, artist residencies, and other thematic programs designed to delve further into certain artists’ or composers’ work.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic’s commitment to the presentation of music of our time is evident in its subscription concerts, the exhilarating Green Umbrella series, and through its extensive commissioning initiatives. The Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, devoted exclusively to performing compositions on the cutting edge of the repertoire, attracts leading composers and performers of contemporary music.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association expands the cultural offerings by producing concerts featuring distinguished artists in recital, jazz, world music, songbook and visiting orchestra performances, in addition to special holiday concerts and series of organ recitals, chamber music, and baroque music.

Through an ongoing partnership with Deutsche Grammophon, the Philharmonic has a substantial catalog of concerts available online, including the first full-length classical music video released on iTunes.

In the 2010/2011 season the orchestra launched LA Phil LIVE, a series of concerts with Gustavo Dudamel broadcast live from Walt Disney Concert Hall to more than 450 movie theaters across the U.S. and Canada.

THE MUSICAL MIRTH OF

THe PRODUCERS

credit Steven R. Stack

Mel Brooks has fond memories of a Hollywood Bowl concert he attended some years back. “It was Pavarotti,” recalls the revered comedic performer-writer-producer. “It was fantastic – to eat chicken under the stars was great! A little wine, a little chicken, a little opera… I loved it.”

This summer, Brooks will be spending several more nights under the stars, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association presents its fully staged version of The Producers (July 27-29), the Broadway sensation for which Brooks co-authored the book, with Thomas Meehan, and wrote the music and lyrics.

Based on his 1968 movie of the same name – for which Brooks won an Oscar for best original screenplay – the show is about flamboyant but financially struggling theatrical producer Max Bialystock and meek accountant Leo Bloom, who team and scheme to make money by recruiting investors for a production so awful that it will be a guaranteed Broadway flop; they’ll raise more funds than necessary and keep the difference.

They’ll also oversell each investor’s share, with total promised percentages going beyond – way beyond – 100% of the show’s earnings, but who cares, as the show will flop. But their choice, the musical Springtime for Hitler, is so truly terrible that – uh oh – audiences mistake it for campy Nazi satire and make it a hit. And why not? With a gay Führer who sings, “Heil, myself!” and showgirls strutting about wearing German sausage headpieces, what’s not to like?

And what’s not to like about The Producers, a zany, over-the-top good time that epitomizes Brooks’ trademark wacky humor. Even if the lead characters are crooks, they’re lovable crooks. And who can resist a production number of little-old-lady investors, brandishing their walkers to a sprightly beat?

Originally starring Nathan Lane as Max and Matthew Broderick as Leo, The Producers opened in New York in April 2001 and ran for six years and 2502 performances. It won a record-breaking twelve Tony Awards (of 15 nominations), including Best Musical, Book of a Musical, and Original Score. Susan Stroman, repeating her duties for the Bowl as director and choreographer, won Tonys in those categories, as did Robin Wagner for scenic design and William Ivey Long for costumes; both designers are on board at the Bowl.

In a booking business where scheduling and licensing issues are the

24

norm, it took Brooks mere minutes to say “Yes” when approached about a Hollywood Bowl production.

“The Bowl is a great stamp of approval,” he enthuses, his familiar wit mixed with a touch of awe. “There are only a few things I do: the [2009] Kennedy Center [Honors] – that’s big stuff. This June, AFI is having a graduation ceremony, and they want me to be a speaker. They’re giving me a doctorate; I’ll probably wear a stethoscope. The Bowl is iconic. It was a thrill to be asked – I’m very happy.”

At the Bowl, the feeling is mutual.

“I’ve been working directly with Mel, and I can’t tell you what a thrill that’s been,” says Brian Grohl, the Association’s Pops Program Manager and Hollywood Bowl Orchestra Manager, who produces the amphitheater’s annual Broadway productions with Steve Linder.

They first met in February to discuss casting, which was not finalized until the end of May. Max Bialystock will be played by Richard Kind, who was in The Producers on Broadway and is well known for his television work in shows such as Spin City and Mad About You. Jesse Tyler Ferguson, best known for his Emmy-nominated portrayal of Mitchell Pritchett in the ABC hit Modern Family, will play Leo Bloom. Rebecca Romijn – Mystique in the X-Men films and Alexis Meade in the television series Ugly Betty – will play Ulla. Tony-winning Broadway veterans Gary Beach and Roger Bart, who both starred in the original Broadway production of The Producers as well as the 2005 film adaptation, will recreate their roles of Roger De Bris and Carmen Ghia.

The Producers veterans will serve as anchors for the cast. That’s because the rehearsal schedule is a mere two weeks – in contrast to the customary four weeks of rehearsal and ten days of tech that directorchoreographer Stroman says she would have in New York for a project of this scope.

The first week, the show is blocked and rehearsed at a location away from the Bowl; for the second week, cast and crew are on stage – but only when the Los Angeles Philharmonic is not rehearsing and performing its Tuesday and Thursday concerts.

“We have a practice load-in of the set at the Bowl the Saturday before we move to the Bowl for rehearsals,” Grohl says. “Then we’re onstage Monday – the whole set is loaded in and loaded out that day. The same thing happens again Wednesday: loaded in, loaded out. We have our first

dress rehearsal Wednesday night with the orchestra or band – that is the only chance to run the show with the cast and the orchestra in the dark.” The lighting design, first tried out Monday night, will also be tested then. The final dress rehearsal is Friday morning in broad daylight.

Stroman considers the schedule her greatest challenge in transferring the show to the vast Bowl stage. Then there are the onstage logistics. “We’re going to try to do as much of The Producers as possible,” she says; there will be some “tweaks” in trimming the book.

“It’s definitely different, because we’ll have the orchestra on stage. For a comedy, it’s a little tricky – we won’t have any slamming doors.”

For the scenic design, “We can use some of the original props, but that’s about it,” says Robin Wagner in an email. “We are basing the look of the set on the original, and working closely with Stro for her to achieve her original blocking.” The Bowl, he adds, “is such an imposing structure, it is inspiring us to take a whole new look at the show. It’s an exciting challenge!”

Says “Stro”: “We’ll do our best to make it funny.” As Stroman’s best has thus far garnered her a total of five Tony Awards and seven addi- tional nominations, there’s hardly cause for worry. The size of the Bowl stage does have at least one advantage: “Originally, there were 21 in the cast,” she says. “There will be 31 here – there are a lot of moments we can enhance in the ensemble.” In the New York production number “Springtime for Hitler” for instance, the ensemble members playing the dancing Nazi storm troopers were flanked by life-sized storm trooper puppets, which they manipulated; at the Bowl, there will be real dancers.

Brooks, too, has plans for that 105-foot-wide stage. “Late at night, after everybody leaves,” he says, “I intend to get a bike and go all around the empty stage, and kvell [be delighted] at the beauty, the almost 20,000 seats. The whole idea of it – when I was a little kid, there was nothing better than entertainment under the stars. It’s so thrilling.”

2012/13 SEASON AT WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL

poetry and more. After its concert premiere this past May, the LA Phil will mount it as a fully staged production in March 2013, directed by Peter Sellars (who created the libretto), and take it on tour to Europe.

The pioneering Mozart/Da Ponte Trilogy with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic reaches its second installment in May 2013 with a production of The Marriage of Figaro featuring an installation designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel and costumes by legendary couturier Azzedine Alaïa. (The fi rst part of the three-year project was Don Giovanni this past May, in a production designed by Frank Gehry, with costumes from the fashion house Rodarte.)

Under the passionate leadership of Music Director Gustavo Dudamel, the LA Phil continues to challenge convention – interpreting the classics with renewed dynamism, inspiring through rich education programs, and forming cutting-edge collaborations across multiple genres.

Subscriptions to the new season are still available, and Create Your Own packages (fi ve or more concerts chosen from the full range of series and non-subscription programs) are also on sale now.

“This will be my fourth season with these wonderful players,” says Dudamel. “The LA Phil musicians bring their experience, tradition, and wisdom to everything we do – it’s total joy to be part of this extraordinary place!”

It all begins September 27 with Dudamel leading The Philharmonic Dances, the annual Opening Night Concert and Gala for this year. The program features music by Tchaikovsky, Bernstein, and Adams, in an evening honoring the rich tradition of dance rhythms. Very special guest dancers, presented in collaboration with the Music Center, will be announced soon.

Dudamel’s Vision The season is framed by exceptional programs that exemplify the vision Dudamel brings to his music directorship. To open the subscription season, celebrated Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes joins Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the start of a threeyear traversal of Beethoven’s music for piano and orchestra, including the fi ve numbered concertos and the Choral Fantasy.

The next week Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s book Where the Wild Things Are comes to life in Oliver Knussen’s charming one-act opera. This U.S. premiere of a co-production by the LA Phil, the Barbican, and the Aldeburgh Festival is directed by Netia Jones, using innovative technologies that combine live images of performers with the late illustrator’s incomparable artwork. It shares the bill with Ravel’s beloved Mother Goose, also with video.

Much as the extraordinary El Niño was John Adams’ take on a Nativity oratorio, The Gospel According to the Other Mary is his vision of the Passion, drawn from stories of Lazarus and Jesus, plus Latin American

32

Salonen and Mehta Return Two of the orchestra’s beloved former Music Directors return next season. In November, Conductor Laureate Esa-Pekka Salonen brings two programs celebrating the centenary of Witold Lutosławski, one of the 20th century’s pre-eminent composers, including performances of Lutosławski’s Symphony No. 4, which was originally commissioned by

the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the West Coast premiere of Salonen’s own Nyx. (A Green Umbrella concert conducted by LA Phil Resident Conductor Lionel Bringuier features works by Lutosławski, plus Salonen and Steven Stucky, two of Lutosławski’s most important advocates.)

Salonen also leads his London ensemble, the Philharmonia Orchestra, and an exciting cast in a one-night-only concert performance of Alban Berg’s Expressionist operatic masterpiece, Wozzeck.

Fifty years ago a young Zubin Mehta conducted his fi rst program as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In December he recreates that historic occasion with the very same program, featuring music by Mozart, Hindemith, and Dvorˇák. In October, Mehta brings another orchestra with which he is closely connected, his beloved Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, which was born the same year he was. They will be joined by the fabulous Yuja Wang for Chopin’s First Piano Concerto.

Special Projects and Festivals There will be several other special projects and festivals during the season. In April 2013, the LA Phil will focus on the contributions of Brooklyn artists to American music, from Aaron Copland (featuring guest organist Cameron Carpenter) to emerging voices. Brooklyn has emerged as a veritable hotbed of young compositional talent, from Ted Hearne to those pushing the boundaries of art rock and electronic music, such as Tyondai Braxton. Gifted Hungarian composer/ conductor/teacher Peter Eötvös will take part in a mini-residency, including the world premiere of his DoReMi, a Concerto for Violin and Chamber Orchestra (co-commissioned by the LA Phil and performed

by Midori), as well as a Green Umbrella staging of his operatic setting of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America. Returning after his unforgettable Beethoven sonata cycle, acclaimed pianist András Schiff will begin a survey of the complete solo keyboard works of J.S. Bach in six recitals over two seasons. This season: The Well-Tempered Clavier, Books 1 and 2, the French Overture, and the French Suites.

Notable Classical Collaborations The classical season includes the full gamut of presentations from

solo recital and chamber music series to Visiting Orchestras (the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra), with performances by artists such as Itzhak Perlman, Hélène Grimaud, Hilary Hahn, Renée Fleming, Susan Graham, Gil Shaham, Lang Lang, and LA Phil guest conductors Christoph Eschenbach, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and Marin Alsop. In addition to the Lutosławski, Eötvös, and Brooklyn programs already mentioned, the boundary-breaking Green Umbrella series includes a program conducted by Dudamel that matches the world premiere of a new ensemble piece by Unsuk Chin with John Adams’ now-classic Chamber Symphony, and a program conducted

by Adams that includes the world premiere of an ensemble work by Daníel Bjarnason.

Non-Classical Series Legendary Broadway lyric soprano Barbara Cook launches the Songbook series, celebrating her 85th birthday with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Ann Hampton Callaway takes an unforgettable journey through the timeless songbook of Barbra Streisand, including songs Callaway wrote for Streisand, and Max Raabe & Palast Orchester capture the musical glories of the 1920s and ’30s.

Wayne Shorter opens the Jazz series with the world premiere of his piece for Grammy-winning bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding and the LA Phil. Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis returns for a night of swing, matchless vocal improviser Bobby McFerrin offers a project inspired by the spirituals his father sang, and the LA Phil’s Creative Chair for Jazz Herbie Hancock expands the boundaries of jazz in a one-of-a-kind evening especially for Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Tropicália superstar Gilberto Gil makes his World Music series debut at Walt Disney Concert Hall with the funky, folkloric rhythms from northeastern Brazil known as forró, and passionate and powerful Latin American vocalists Ely Guerra, Eugenia León, and Tania Libertad perform acoustic sets in tribute to legendary Mexican musical rebel Chavela Vargas. Japan’s powerhouse taiko ensemble Kodo brings its One Earth Tour to the series, and The Chieftains, Ireland’s premier traditional music group, celebrates its adventurous new album Voice of Ages.

Non-Subscription Events In addition to the Visiting Orchestras, two of the fi nest youth ensembles perform for Sounds About Town: the USC Thornton Symphony conducted by Carl St.Clair, Music Director of Pacifi c Symphony, and the Colburn Orchestra conducted by our own Gustavo Dudamel.

The Grammy-winning “orchestra of voices” Chanticleer returns to open the Deck the Hall holiday concerts with a fresh take on seasonal classics. Also returning are the Holiday Organ Spectacular with organist David Higgs and soprano Lisa Vroman, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy with A Swingin’ Christmas, and the annual Holiday Sing-Along with an all-new show. Brand new this year is Aaron Neville: A Christmas Celebration and the Hot Lava Holiday Show from Honolulu lounge meisters Don Tiki.

Tony Award-winning actress, singer, and songwriter Idina Menzel, star of Broadway’s Wicked and the original stage production of Rent, will ring in the New Year at Walt Disney Concert Hall with two performances of her brand new live show.

WELCOME TO

“CLUB HOLLYWOOD BOWL”

By Carol Merrill-Mirsky

Kids on fi eld trips to the Hollywood Bowl see this sign as they come up the stairs to the second fl oor of the Hollywood Bowl Museum. They are greeted by Latin music in the air and a smiling docent/dancer ready Welcome to to get them started on an active learning experience.

As part of its current exhibit, Música y Sabor: Latino Artists at the Hollywood Bowl, the Hollywood Bowl Museum has joined with Let’s Move! – Museums & Gardens, a national initiative spearheaded by First Lady Michelle Obama to get kids moving and eating healthy food.

With the help of Latin music expert Betto Arcos we developed a lesson for students grades 3 and up that begins with careful listening to six examples of Latin music in different genres and from different countries. Anyone who wants to get a feel for the breadth of Latin popular music can’t do better than listen to these great selections:

Club Hollywood Bowl

Flamenco (Spain): “Río de la Miel” by Paco De Lucía Tango (Argentina): “Danzarín” by Grand Orchestra of Tango Cumbia (Colombia): “Yo Me Llamo Cumbia” by Leonor González Mina Ranchera (Mexico): “Cucurrucucu Paloma” by Lola Beltrán Samba (Brazil): “Samba de Los Angeles” by Gilberto Gil Salsa (Cuba): “Cucala” by Celia Cruz & Johnny Pacheco We brought in salsa and bachata dancer and teacher Leslie Ferreira to develop a dance lesson and train a small staff of dancer/docents. A step-by-step lesson in merengue begins with the full group following the docent, then fi nding a partner and learning more complex movements. Our philosophy is to encourage participation, not force it. We allow partners to be boy/girl or boy/boy, or girl /girl. It doesn’t matter. We use props (ties for the boys, boas, beads, and fl owers for the girls) to get everyone in the mood. We are fi nding that the more challenging the movements, the more satisfaction and fun the kids have.

The museum education fi eld trip is active in more ways than one. In addition to the dance lesson, docents lead students on a walking tour of the Hollywood Bowl. They walk up hills, go onstage (in the off-season), and climb stairs to the top of the Bowl, where docents talk about the Bowl’s architectural and musical history.

For adults, the Hollywood Bowl Museum has an ongoing exhibit on the fi rst fl oor called Hollywood Bowl: Music For Everyone. Taking its cue from the Bowl’s slogan from the 1950s, “Music for Everyone,” the exhibit traces the history of symphonic music, opera, jazz, rock, pop, world

38

music, and dance at the Bowl through sounds and images. Museum technology is changing all the time, so we’ve added focused speakers that look like gigantic clear lampshades. When you stand directly under them, you get the best possible sound from the various video screens.

That’s true also for the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame exhibit, which lets you select a video from among the 38 honorees.

On the second fl oor, we are featuring a revised and enhanced version of Música y Sabor: Latino Artists at the Hollywood Bowl. Since its very inception, the Bowl has presented artists from Mexico, Latin America, and Spain in many genres of classical and popular music. The exhibit has touch-screen computers that let you view programs and listen to music by the likes of Xavier Cugat, Yma Sumac, Plácido Domingo, Carlos Chávez, José Iturbi, Lola Beltrán, Lucho Gatica, Tito Puente, and many more – many of them recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl, and videos of Philharmonic Music Director Gustavo Dudamel, Mariachi USA, and L.A.’s own Ozomatli.

The Hollywood Bowl Museum is open year-round. Field trips are available by appointment for grades 3 and up. Please call 323.850.2058 or email museum@laphil.org. Summer hours are Tuesday – Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Off-season hours: Tuesday – Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays by appointment. Admission is free.

Hollywood Bowl Renovations Several important elements of the Hollywood Bowl infrastructure were renovated this past spring, before the season opened. The site of the Hollywood Bowl, nestled in the Hollywood Hills, was chosen in no small part for its natural beauty, so it is fi tting that we have a commitment to preserving that beauty and natural setting. That commitment goes back to 1924, when the Hollywood Bowl Association deeded the property to the County of Los Angeles, and it continues today. The Hollywood Bowl was the fi rst amphitheater in California to be certifi ed as an Audubon Society Cooperative Sanctuary, based largely on its environmental management plan and “green” practices.

The Hollywood Bowl Restroom Renovation included the reconstruction of the restrooms, improving their aesthetics and the fl ow of traffi c,

and upgrading technology to keep the Bowl in line with its green initiatives. The two main goals were creating spaces that feel lighter, brighter, and cleaner, and making design changes to help people get in and out of the restrooms more effi ciently. The renovated restrooms total 16,164 sq. ft. This included 240 toilets, 131 waterless urinals, and 145 sinks. 161 dual fl ush valves were added to save water, and 23 automatic hand dryers were added to save paper. All down lights were replaced with high effi ciency LED fi xtures, a nd all faucets are now automatic/touchless. The architect for the project was the Rios Clementi Hale Studios, and funding

LA Phil Welcomes New Member Michael Larco, Assistant Principal Violist of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra since 2005, has recently been invited to join the viola section of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, where he will begin his tenure in July 2012.

He has collaborated in concert with Itzhak Perlman, Lynn Harrell, Alisa Weilerstein, and Rachel Barton Pine. Recent appearances have included a Chicago “Dame Myra Hess” recital debut, broadcast live on WFMT, with pianist Soojin Ahn, and performances at the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society with tenor Anthony Dean Griffey, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (West Palm Beach), Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall, Chamber Music Rochester (NY), and the Skaneateles Festival (NY).

He has served as principal violist of the Juilliard Orchestra and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra and has performed in the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

An active chamber musician and coach, Larco has been a faculty member at the Hartt School at the University of Hartford, and at School for Strings (NYC). Most recently, he has coached alongside the Biava String Quartet at the David Einfeldt Chamber Music Seminar at the Hartt School. Larco was a founding member (2000-2005) of the New York City-based Fountain Ensemble.

Larco received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Juilliard School, where he studied with Heidi Castleman, Misha Amory, and Samuel Rhodes. In 1999 he was awarded the Frank Huntington Beebe Scholarship for studies in Europe. While living in Italy during 1999-2000, he studied both at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, with Thomas Riebl, and in Cremona, Italy, with Bruno Giuranna.

came from Proposition A, approved by Los Angeles County voters in 1996.

The first project completed was the replacement of the concrete stairway that traverses the east pedestrian walkway from the third to the fourth promenades of the Bowl. In addition, the West Gate parking deck was re-surfaced, and substantial repairs were made to the theater aisle stairway piers. The replaced stairway was originally constructed in 1954. The parking deck was constructed in 1995, and the aisle stairway piers in the theater were originally installed in 1926. Funding for the project came from the Los Angeles County’s Deferred Maintenance Program.

The final completed renovation was the replacement of the moving walkway at the Main Gate. That speed ramp enhances the flow of traffic inside the Bowl and also aids patrons with mobility issues in accessing all parts of the Bowl. The new ramp will help 75% of Bowl audiences get up the hilly terrain. Through years of wear-and-tear the former ramp went through various phases of maintenance due to mechanical issues. The original speed ramp was built in 1962 and partially replaced in 1989. This project was also supported by the County’s Deferred Maintenance Program.

NEWS continued piano-vocal score of the 40-minute Prologue, however, which was then forgotten until Dr. Olga Digonskaya discovered it among the composer’s papers in the Glinka State Museum of Musical Culture in Moscow in 2004. British composer and writer Gerard McBurney orchestrated the Prologue, encouraged and supported by the composer’s widow, Mme. Irina Shostakovich, who attended the premiere performances. “The LA Phil was this evening, on every level, brilliant,” Mark Swed wrote for the Los Angeles Times.

UK Radio Broadcasts The Los Angeles Philharmonic has launched its first international radio broadcast partner-

ship with Classic FM, the biggest classical music radio station in the UK. The LA Phil becomes “Classic FM’s Orchestra in America,” the first overseas partnership of that nature in the station’s 20-year history.

A new, 14-part, Friday evening concert series, “Live with the LA Phil,” began June 1, with the all-Mendelssohn program conducted by the orchestra’s Music Director, Gustavo Dudamel, in October 2011. (These will be the same concerts that aired locally on KUSC.) In addition to the concerts, the series includes interviews with many of the featured soloists, such as violinist Hilary Hahn and pianist Richard Goode, as well as photo galleries and further interviews online at classicfm.com.

“I am so happy to once again be collaborating with Classic FM,” Dudamel said. “The new signature place for the broadcasts of our Los Angeles Philharmonic concerts builds on my ongoing relationship with Classic FM, which over the years has broadcast my concerts, recordings, and interviews from around the globe. This new partnership is an important step to bring our music to more parts of the world and increase our global reach.”

In addition to his concerts with the LA Phil, Dudamel’s two sold-out concerts with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela at London’s Royal Festival Hall in June will also be broadcast on Classic FM.

LA PHIL YOUTH AND FAMILY PROGRAMS CREATING LIFELONG MUSICAL TRADITIONS For LA Phil Music Director Gustavo Dudamel, music is a fundamental human right. A product of Venezuela’s esteemed El Sistema youth orchestra movement, Dudamel is a passionate champion of music education, and his joyous spirit infuses the LA Phil’s educational efforts. Whether a child grows up to be a professional musician like Dudamel, a recreational player, or simply an avid fan whose life is enriched by music, the youth and family programs of the LA Phil are designed to instill a love of music that lasts a lifetime.

With programs ranging from familyfriendly concerts to high-level mentorships for young musicians and composers, the LA Phil provides opportunities for children to become involved with great music at every stage of their development. For more than 40 years, SummerSounds: World Music for Kids has provided the youngest children, ages 3-5, with an introduction to the diverse world of musical expression. This year SummerSounds is designed to reflect the programming happening on the Hollywood Bowl’s main stage. If you like reggae, traditional Filipino music, or mariachi music, you can bring the little ones to SummerSounds beginning on July 9.

As children continue to grow, the opportunities for musical learning with the LA Phil grow with them. Once a child outgrows the SummerSounds experience,

48

he or she can participate in the Toyota Symphonies for Youth series at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Designed for children ages 5-11, Toyota Symphonies for Youth are educational concerts that allow children to encounter the orchestra while learning basic musical concepts in a fun and informative environment.

Budding young musicians can take part in the Youth Orchestra Mentorship or Composer Fellows programs, and more than 12,000 students visit Walt Disney Concert Hall to hear the LA Phil each year as part of the Symphonies for Schools program. In addition, both of the LA Phil’s venues offer low-cost, accessible programming that is popular with families and teenagers, including John Williams’ annual visit to the Hollywood Bowl and Casual Friday concerts at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

By the time a child who has grown up with the LA Phil reaches adulthood, his or her passion for and knowledge of music is firmly in place. And, as some of these young people go on to become parents themselves, the cycle begins again. From generation to generation, the LA Phil has brought and will continue to bring the transformative power of music into the lives of Southern Californians.

Most of you already know that the Hollywood Bowl is a County of Los Angeles Public Park. As such there is a crew of behindthe-scenes folks who maintain the green spaces and picnic benches scattered about the grounds. The park is open every day of the year, and the museum– which tells the story of the Bowl – is open certain hours. (See page 38 for a story about the museum, with its hours.)

You are also welcome to wander into the theater during some rehearsals. What a great place to bring your out-of-town guests and take their picture in front of the iconic shell.

If you have read this column over the past few years you know we are constantly working on the facility and the grounds. We have planted new trees and installed watersaving irrigation controllers and removed exotic invasive plant species. It seems that

the nature of nature is change. Plants are not as static as you might assume and other factors of nature such as wind and rain play a big part in how we react.

Speaking of wind, you might remember the unusual windstorm that struck Los Angeles County last fall. Fortunately, the Hollywood Bowl did not suffer ill effects from that storm but 33 other County Parks did. Over 1,300 trees were lost or damaged with a total value of $7 million. The loss included valuable specimens from the 1860s that were over 60 inches in diameter and valued at more than $100,000 each.

Here at the Bowl we know that trees and plants add to the ambiance of this world-renowned outdoor entertainment venue, and we don’t take them for granted.

All year long our grounds maintenance crews work hard to get our plant pallet in shape for the summer entertainment season. Everyday between shows they trim, edge, weed, water, and fertilize to enhance the dual role of the Bowl as County Park and world class music venue.

So, enjoy tonight’s show, but think about coming back to see this magnifi cent park on another day. Explore the picnic areas and take in the views of the city skyline. Visit the museum. You’ll see the Hollywood Bowl in a different light and fi nd a new appreciation for the behind-the-scenes folks who keep it looking beautiful.

PATIO PLEASURES

INGREDIENTS 2 2/3 lb. fresh whole organic chickens, quartered Spicy Marinade 12 cloves garlic, unpeeled 3 fresh chiles (jalapeño, habanero, or Serrano) 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing cup freshly squeezed orange juice 5:211 PM 1/4 cup minced cilantro leaves 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon ground turmeric sea salt and freshly ground black pepper DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the garlic on a lightly oiled baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes, until soft and easily pierced.

When cool enough to handle, remove the peels and mince.

2. Olga To prepare Kern the marinade, halve the chiles lengthwise, remove the stems and seeds and mince. Mix together with the garlic, oil, orange juice, cilantro, salt, turmeric, and salt and pepper in a large bowl.

3. Add the chicken to the marinade and refrigerate for 3 hours, turning twice.

Remove the chicken from the marinade when you are ready to grill.

4. Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill. When the coals are hot, make a two-level fire by pushing some of the coals to one side. Sear the chicken over the hotter side, turning once, then move to the cooler side to finish cooking. Cover the white meat with a pan to retain moisture. If

you are using a gas grill, turn one burner to high and the other to medium. Preheat with the lid down. Sear the chicken on the hotter side, then move pieces to the cooler side, and grill, closing the lid until the chicken is fully browned and the juices run clear when the meat is pierced near the bone. Brush the chicken lightly with olive oil while it’s being grilled to keep it moist. Depending on the size of the chicken, breasts will take 8-12 minutes, legs and thighs up to 15 minutes.

5. Arrange pieces on a serving platter and serve.

Note: Grill a piece of chicken without the marinade for babies a year and older. Cut the meat into tiny pieces.

ABOUT THE

ARTISTS

GLEN CAMPBELL is a bonafide “living legend,” whose career spans 50 years and fans that cross generational and international lines. A revered triple-decker talent, he is a musician, singer, and humorist.

Glen has released over 70 albums and sold more than 45 million records, with 75 trips up the charts, landing 27 in the Top 10. He made music history by winning a Grammy in both country and pop categories in the same year; “Gentle On My Mind” snatched country honors and “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” won the pop prize. He has racked up 12 RIAA Gold albums, four platinum albums, and one double-platinum album. Earlier this year, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy Awards.

Glen was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005 by the Country Music Association of America. In 1999, he won the coveted AMC Pioneer Award for “outstanding and unprecedented achievements in the field of country music.” He garnered trophies for Male Vocalist of the Year from both the CMA and the ACM, and took CMA’s top honor as Entertainer of the Year.

Glen expanded into the gospel world with a series of gospel albums that won him a prestigious Dove Award, and has been profiled on A&E’s Biography, VH1’s Behind the Music, and CMT’s Inside Fame. In 2000, a Glen Campbell Special was taped in Sioux Falls, SD, for PBS. The DVD is still aired and offered as a reward during PBS fundraising.

Glen had a No. 1 television show with the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, which premiered in 1969. The popular CBS-TV musical variety series was simulcast on the BBC from England to Singapore to Australia, and paved the way for five BBC specials, giving P2

PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE

Glen a global presence he enjoys to this day.

The show’s reruns were picked up by CMT cable in 2002, exposing Glen and his guests to new generations.

Glen starred with John Wayne in the classic movie True Grit. He recorded the title song and performed the hit on the Oscars telecast. His tell-all autobiography, Rhinestone Cowboy, shot to the best-seller list in 1994.

He played guitar for such artists as Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Merle Haggard, Elvis Presley, Jan and Dean, and The Righteous Brothers, among many others, in his early career as a soughtafter session musician, as a member of The Wrecking Crew. He toured with The Beach Boys in 1964-65, until his own solo career took off.

Worldwide, Glen Campbell is considered one of the outstanding guitar musicians of his generation, has one of the most formidable chart histories in country music, and has recorded standards that have stood the test of time, such as “By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” “Gentle On My Mind,” “Galveston,” “Rhinestone Cowboy,” and “Wichita Lineman.” He has performed with symphony orchestras in the U.S. and at performing art centers and notable venues in the U.S., United Kingdom, Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

Several critically acclaimed Glen Campbell hit compilations have been released in the last few years. His most recent releases are Meet Glen Campbell, by his old Capitol Records label, and Ghost on the Canvas, released by Surfdog Records.

“The best rock ’n’ roll is never preconceived,” says DAWES’ Taylor Goldsmith. “It’s almost a country mentality: ‘This is what we do. We write songs.’

That’s how it is for Dawes.”

A self-described “American rock ’n’ roll band,” Dawes represent everything pure and true about that fundamental

delineation: four talented friends making music together, fueled by a shared belief in the power of their songs. With their 2011 release Nothing Is Wrong, the Los Angelesbased band – singer/guitarist Goldsmith, his brother Griffin on drums, keyboardist Tay Strathairn, and bassist Wylie Gelber – continued to master their blend of singer/ songwriter reflection with folk, country, and AORinspired arrangements, all ringing guitars, soaring harmonies, and heartfelt melodies.

A collection of songs expertly built upon the template laid by 2009’s extraordinary debut, North Hills, Nothing Is Wrong saw Dawes displaying staggering growth and evolution while still manifesting their distinctive, unforgettable voice.

In 2009, Dawes emerged from the ashes of California combo Simon Dawes with North Hills, which drew instant acclaim for its rootsy revitalization of classic “El Lay” rock. And like any American rock ’n’ roll band worth its salt, Dawes followed up by touring nearly non-stop.

As a result, Goldsmith was only able to write during rare free moments, in the course of brief visits home or while crashing at a friend’s for a few days. “Both of these Dawes records were written in a one-to-two year span of time,” Goldsmith says. “With North Hills, there was an ‘I just want to go somewhere and experience things’ quality. And then with this record, we’re in the thick of going out and playing shows and being on tour.”

Goldsmith took a brief break from the band to record with friends and tourmates John McCauley of Deer Tick and Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit as the collaborative supergroup Middle Brother, and in September 2010, Dawes reunited with producer Jonathan Wilson at his new Echo Park studio. A gifted singer/songwriter/musician in his own right, Wilson has proven a true kindred spirit whose vision and

HBOWL_PROG_WK1.f_PerformancesHB11 6/7/12 2:46 PM Page P3

tastes are in perfect sync with the band. “We’re so lucky to know him,” Goldsmith says. “It’s really crazy how good he is at everything.”

Along with critical approbation and an ever-growing fan following, Dawes has earned admiration from many of their greatest heroes. Benmont Tench of The Heartbreakers joined the band on organ on both North Hills and Nothing Is Wrong, while the new album’s “Fire Away” saw guest vocals from Jackson Browne, who has since invited the band to both support and back him on a European tour. In addition, after Goldsmith contributed vocals to Robbie Robertson’s star-studded new How To Become Clairvoyant, the legendary gutarist/ songwriter asked Dawes to serve as his backing combo for a number of promotional performances, sensing in them the character of a true band, a tight-knit unit who know how to work together and instinctively play off each other’s individual gifts.

While Nothing Is Wrong marked a new milestone on this remarkable band’s musical journey, it remains but a single step on what all involved see as a long-term trip. “Our attitude is always, what can we do to take it to the next place?” Goldsmith says. “To share our music with more people, make better music, and be happier people through our music.”

JACKSON BROWNE has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music and has defined a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion, and personal politics. He’s been honored with inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2004) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2007). Beyond his music, Browne is known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment and social justice, human rights and the arts. He’s

a co-founder of the groups Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE), Nukefree.org, and the Success Through the Arts Foundation, which provides education opportunities for students in South Los Angeles.

Tracing the roots of Browne’s career leads back to the mid-’60s and folk clubs in Los Angeles and Orange County. Born in Germany to American parents, Jackson’s family returned to Los Angeles when he was three. Except for a brief period in NYC in the late 1960s – when he was an integral presence in the coffeehouse scene there – he has always lived in Southern California.

Jackson Browne, his debut album, came out on David Geffen’s Asylum Records in 1972.

Since then, Jackson has released a total of eighteen albums. Jackson Browne’s overall body of work was celebrated in 2004 with the release of Elektra-Rhino’s 2-CD compilation, The Very Best of Jackson Browne, featuring 32 songs selected from throughout his career.

Browne’s legacy as an advocate for social and environmental justice is as influential and enduring as his music. In 2010, he received Duke University’s LEAF award for Lifetime Environmental Achievement in the Fine Arts.

In 2008, he received the NARM Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award, and, in 2007, he received ASCAP’s Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award. In 2004, Jackson was named an honorary Doctor of Music by Occidental College in Los Angeles, for “a remarkable musical career that has successfully combined an intensely personal artistry with a broader vision of social justice.”

In 2002, he was the fourth recipient of the John Steinbeck Award, given to artists whose works exemplify the environmental and social values that were essential to the great California-born author.

KRIS KRISTOFFERSON returned to the essentials of his finely honed craft on his New West album Closer to the Bone (2009).

Like the master singer-songwriter’s 2006 New West bow This Old Road, the new album was produced by Grammy-winner Don Was. The previous collection – Kristofferson’s first recording in almost a dozen years – was hailed by critics as “one of the finest albums of his storied career” (Rolling Stone), “a stripped-down stunner” (Esquire), and “a return to his best work” (Q). Kristofferson

said, “I like the intimacy of the new album.

It has a general mood of reflecting on where we all are at this end of life.” Much like its predecessor, Closer to the Bone was a deftly observed, honestly executed work about love, separation, loss, and mortality. The subject matter ranged from the musician’s family (“From Here to Forever,” “The Wonder”) to Kristofferson’s late friend Johnny Cash (“Good Morning John”).

Kristofferson’s New West albums marked the latest works of a distinguished career that has encompassed the authorship of such classic American songs as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Sunday Morning Coming Down,” and “Help Me Make It Through the Night”; stardom in such feature films as Lonestar, the Blade Trilogy, A Soldier’s Daughter Never Cries, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, and A Star is Born; honors including three Grammys and a Golden Globe Award; and years of outspoken political and social activism. In November 2009, he was feted as a BMI Icon at the performing rights organization’s Country Awards. Kristofferson is also a member of the Songwriter Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Recently, the performer has been on a vigorous schedule of international solo appearances. Kristofferson says, “I was overseas doing a film when I got the opportunity to work in Ireland, and I didn’t have time to marshal the troops. So I went out by myself, and it worked. I’ve been really surprised at selling out the shows everywhere. People are filling up the houses.”

“Something was making a direct communication with the audience,” he adds, “and I guess it must be down to the essence of the songs.

Because God knows, there’s better guitar players and singers. But it seems to be working with my material – just me and the song.”

They say there are two sides to every story, but that old saying might not quite cover it if we’re talking about JENNY LEWIS. Starting with her rock band Rilo Kiley, she

’09, helmed by Rilo Kiley’s Pierre De Reeder, Jenny and Johnny played as many instruments as possible, right down to the drums, bringing in Jason Boesel for additional embellishments. The result became Jenny and Johnny’s debut album I’m Having Fun Now, released in August 2010 on Warner Bros. Records.

COURTNEY TAYLOR-TAYLOR is best known as the lead singer of influential Portland, Oregon rock band The Dandy Warhols. Courtney has written and produced

transformed before our eyes from a shy indie-rocker to the authoritative, take-noprisoners singer/songwriter/frontwoman we know today. Tack sharp and unafraid of subject matter of any height or weight, channeling songs through either Rilo Kiley or her solo work, her staggering range as a writer has brought her critical acclaim around the globe.

Rilo Kiley formed in 1998 and went on to release four critically lauded albums: Take Offs And Landings (2001), The Execution Of All Things (2002), More Adventurous (2004), and Under The Blacklight (2007), taking them from the clubs of Silverlake to L.A.’s Greek Theater and winning them an army of ardent fans.

Lewis’ debut solo release Rabbit Fur Coat (2006) was a homespun affair released on Conor Oberst’s Team Love imprint and featured The Watson Twins. The collection of stunning songs and ungarnished delivery was a huge hit with critics with songs like “Rise Up with Fists” and “You Are What you Love” showcasing Lewis’ impressive songwriting and delivery skills.

Her second solo album Acid Tongue was released in 2008 on Warner Bros. Records and saw a notable collaboration with long-time Lewis admirer Elvis Costello (on the Johnathan Rice-penned “Carpetbaggers”). Some of Lewis’ most talented friends appear on Acid Tongue – Johnathan Rice, Ben Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service), Chris Robinson, Farmer Dave Scher, Jason Boesel, Jason Lader, and Rabbit Fur Coat producer M Ward.

During hours of downtime on her Acid Tongue world tour, Jenny and Johnathan Rice began writing a batch of songs different from anything they had previously created. During a nine-day demo session in L.A. in October

the majority of the band’s seven studio albums, including the hits “We Used To Be Friends,” “Bohemian Like You,” and more.

Courtney wears many hats outside of The Dandy Warhols. He’s recently published his first graphic novel, One Model Nation, as well as releasing a CD of the band featured in the text. Courtney and The Dandy Warhols are presently in the midst of a world tour in support of their latest album, This Machine, which was released in the U.S. on April 24, 2012 on The End Records (Sony Red Music).

It’s not all that hard to find an artist who’s capable of offering a guided tour of life’s dark clouds – nor is it rare to come into contact with one who can hone in on the silver lining.

But the ability to do both with equal grace, well, that’s an altogether rarer gift – and it’s one that LUCINDA WILLIAMS displays with remarkable élan on her latest Lost Highway album, Blessed.

Blessed, recorded at the end of what Williams calls “a really big writing streak that gave me enough to make two albums,” brings those textures to play in some of the most straightforward songs she’s ever written. While it’s not a concept album as such, Blessed brings together a dozen masterfully-

crafted pieces that fall into place beautifully, their welcoming sonic tenor offering an ideal foil for the conversational narrative that runs through the dozen short stories – tales that take in plenty of topical territory, but invariably end up offering the listener a sense of affirmation.

Williams has never hesitated to wave a flag of iconoclasm, but she’s never used it as a shield. Ever since the release of her 1978 debut Ramblin’ on My Mind, the Louisianabred singer-songwriter has been ready, willing, and able to call upon both her natural affinity for roots music and her familial literary tradition. She learned the importance of professional integrity around the same time most kids are learning their ABCs, thanks in large part to her award-winning poet father Miller Williams – who invested her with a “culturally rich, but economically poor” upbringing where artistic expression was of primary importance.

In recent times, Williams has shown herself to be the kind of artist who’ll never back down from a challenge, whether collaborating with surprisingly kindred spirits like M. Ward and Flogging Molly or putting her own spin on iconic tunes like Bob Dylan’s “Positively 4th Street” and Jimmy Webb’s classic “Galveston.”

Whatever the topic, Williams’ voice – both literally and figuratively – is unmistakable. It’s a voice that conveys experience without worldweariness, purity of spirit without naiveté.

“I had this image in my mind of how a stranger can affect you, and you them, at the same time…It’s all about the hope that there’s good in humanity if you look for it – which is really the feel of the whole album.”

By the time Blessed’s final notes resound, that hope will not only be clear, it’s likely to be passed on to the listener – paid forward in the most touching way.

ABOUT THE

PROGRAM

Miles Davis (1926-1991) Few musicians have had the kind of farreaching impact and influence that Miles Davis had. As The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll summarized it so effectively, “Miles Davis played a crucial and inevitably controversial role in every major development in jazz since the mid-’40s, and no other jazz musician has had so profound an effect on rock. Miles Davis was the most

widely recognized jazz musician of his era, an outspoken social critic, and an arbiter of style – in attitude and fashion – as well as music.”

Davis was born in Alton, Illinois, and moved with his family to East St. Louis a year later.

He was nine or ten years old when he first began playing trumpet, but did not study it seriously until he was 13, when he began lessons with Elwood Buchanan, a local musician who started Davis on the clear straight tone that would become his signature. Davis began playing professionally while still in high school; particularly important were a few weeks in 1944 subbing in Billy Eckstine’s P6

band with Charlie Parker. Davis graduated from high school that year, and in September he moved to New York City, ostensibly to attend the parentally-approved Juilliard School of Music but really on a personal mission to find Charlie Parker. He succeeded on both counts, though he found little to interest him at Juilliard and dropped out a year later.

By that time he was working regularly in jazz clubs, joining Parker’s quintet in the fall of 1945. Davis made several important bebop recordings with Parker, but he was already moving towards the more melodic style of cool jazz and at the end of 1948 he left Parker’s group. Davis began working instead with Gil Evans on a nonet project that had little success in the clubs, but left a legacy of session recordings (1949-1950) that were finally released in 1956 as Birth of the Cool. In the interim, Davis had moved on stylistically with groups of his own, adding the use of a close-miked Harmon mute to his distinctive sound. He began his enduring association with Columbia Records in 1956 with ’Round About Midnight, and the following year began a series of innovative albums with arrangements by Gil Evans, including Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess, and Sketches of Spain.

In 1959 Davis reunited with another Evans, pianist Bill Evans, for one of the great monuments of jazz, Kind of Blue. This was a defining moment for modal jazz, with its pared down harmonic movement and empha-sis on expressive melodic nuance, and it has become almost the sonic definition of jazz itself for the broadest audience, certified quadruple platinum and still selling.

(In 2009 the U.S. House of Representatives commemorated the 50th anniversary of the album, unanimously passing a measure affirming jazz as a national treasure.) In addition to Davis, the personnel included Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane on saxophones, Bill Evans on piano (except for one track, “Freddie Freeloader,” with Wynton Kelly), Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb (the sole surviving member of the

group) on drums. They had previously played only two of the five tracks in concerts, and four of the five (except “Flamenco Sketches”) were recorded in first takes.

By the mid-’60s Davis was working with a new quintet that included Wayne Shorter on saxes, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams. They created another important series of recordings, in which Davis began experimenting with electric instruments (bass, keyboard, and guitar) and rock rhythms that pointed the way towards Davis’ fusion style. That became fully formed in 1969, with the release of In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. These also featured augmented instrumentation and were edited down from longer takes. Davis and his new groups opened for major rock acts such as the Grateful Dead, Neil Young, and Santana, and recorded live albums drawn from those performances. In the first half of the 1970s, Davis continued to expand instrumentation and shift styles.

Troubled by a range of ailments, Davis entered a sort of enforced semi-retirement after a Newport Jazz Festival performance in New York in July 1975. He returned with renewed health and enthusiasm in the 1980s, however. One of his regular collaborators during this decade was bassist Marcus Miller.

Davis recorded his last albums for Columbia in 1985. He signed with Warner Bros. in 1986, and his first album for his new label was Tutu, which was also his first with then-new digital studio tools. Miller was the primary producer and composer on the album, which honored South Africa’s Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Miller has now “revisited” that album, as well as tracks from its 1989 follow-up, Amandla, and some of Davis’ early ’80s funk-fusion material.

Miles Davis died in Santa Monica after a stroke (and other complications) on September 28, 1991. He received nine Grammys, including the Lifetime Achievement Award, and countless other honors. The latest is a commemorative U.S. stamp, which was dedicated on the East Coast earlier this month and on the West Coast today on the terrace of the Hollywood Bowl Museum. The image on the stamp is from the cover of Davis’ 1971 album A Tribute to Jack Johnson, which was also the soundtrack to a documentary film about the boxer.

ABOUT THE

ARTISTS

A musician as versatile and in demand as Marcus Miller rarely has down time between projects. In fact, he is usually working on at least three at once. Marcus’ other focus, as well as his studio work and film scoring, has recently been TUTU REVISITED, an endeavor that began as a one-off concert in Paris to close the inaugural “We Want Miles” commemorative exhibit that bowed there in the summer of 2009. The title track of the album Tutu has since become one of jazz’s last classic compositions, instantly recognizable from its opening dramatic strikes. Since the song’s debut, it has been re-recorded by the likes of Al Jarreau & George Benson, The Manhattan Transfer, Cassandra Wilson, S.M.V. (Stanley Clarke, Miller, and Victor Wooten), and several “live” renditions by Marcus. But there has never been a look back at other songs from the seminal album on which Marcus showcased the raw beauty of Miles trumpet amid a sea of synthesizers, drum machines, and keyboards (all of which Miller played himself)…until now.

“To me, Tutu captured Miles negotiating his way through a world that was half man/half machine, and finding a way to bend that word to his will,” Marcus muses. “In my opinion, it is a pretty good representation of what the ’80s had to offer. When I was approached about revisiting that music in concert, I hesitated…because one thing universally understood about Miles is that he never looked back. Still, I was intrigued by the idea of saluting Miles and began to think of how I could present that music in a fresh context. I figured the best way to do that is with young musicians.”

After the first rehearsal where the young guns played the Tutu material practically note for note off the vinyl, Miller implored them to find their own voice within the music. And though Miller was a veteran of Davis’ early ’80s “comeback” tours – first working with him at age 21 on his The Man With The Horn LP – by the time of Tutu, he was not a member of the touring band. Now, Marcus gets to explore Tutu’s music live for the first time.

“Writing for Miles was nice because everything we did in that period he left his fingerprint on. It took me to another place and made me find sounds I wouldn’t have normally found. I was very inspired and could hear myself coming into my own. Miles rec-

ognized this, too, and told me, ‘Hey, you’re in that period! Recognize it and write as much as you can because these periods come and go…’ That was saying a lot because he had told Wayne Shorter (the saxophonist / prolific jazz composing genius for whom Miller produced High Life in 1995) the same thing two decades before me. After Miles gave me the benediction, I had a supreme level of confidence. I no longer cared what anyone thought of what I did. It freed me to just focus on making the best music I possibly can.”

As a multi-instrumentalist, MARCUS MILLER is highly proficient as a keyboardist, clarinetist/bass clarinetist, and primarily as a world-renowned electric bassist, topping critics’ and readers’ polls for three decades.

His résumé as an A-list player brims with over 500 recording credits as a sideman on albums across the spectrum of musical styles: rock (Donald Fagen and Eric Clapton), jazz (George Benson, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Sample, Wayne Shorter, and Grover Washington, Jr.), pop (Roberta Flack, Paul Simon, and Mariah Carey), R&B (Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan), hip hop (Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg), blues (Z.Z. Hill), new wave (Billy Idol), smooth jazz (Al Jarreau and Dave Koz), and opera (collaborations with tenor Kenn Hicks and soprano Kathleen Battle).

As a film music pro, Miller rose from writing the go-go party classic “Da Butt” for Spike Lee’s School Daze to becoming the go-to composer for 20+ films (from the documentary I Love to the animated children’s fable The Trumpet and The Swan to the Eddie Murphy/Halle Berry classic Boomerang).

As a producer, writer, and player, he was the last primary collaborator of jazz legend Miles Davis, contributing the composition and album Tutu to the canon of contemporary jazz music. The breadth of his collaborative talents were best showcased in his work with the late, great soul man Luther Vandross, contributing to well over half of his albums as a producer, composer, and/or player on a string of hits capped by “Power of Love/Love Power,” for which Marcus won his first Grammy, 1991’s R&B Song of the Year.

Style, soul, and intense professionalism have set Marcus Miller at the top of his game for three decades now. Marcus was born in 1959 and raised in a musical family that includes his father, William Miller (a church

organist and choir director) and jazz pianist Wynton Kelly. By 13, Marcus was proficient on clarinet, piano, and bass guitar, and already writing songs. Two years later he was working regularly in New York City, eventually playing bass and writing music for jazz flutist Bobbi Humphrey and keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith. Miller soon became a top call session musician, gracing well over 500 albums, recording with musicians and in countries around the globe - from Frank Sinatra and Elton John to Bill Withers and LL Cool J. After two R&B-leaning solo albums for Warner Bros. in the ’80s followed by co-leading The Jamaica Boys (with drummer Lenny White and singer Mark Stevens), Marcus took a hiatus then returned rejuvenated with the galvanizing The Sun Don’t Lie (1993) and Tales (1995), both of which found him brilliantly connecting the dots of black music’s evolution. Following the fan-demanded Live and More in 1997, Miller released M2 (“M-Squared”) on his own 3 Deuces Records label and won his second Grammy, 2001’s Best Contemporary Jazz Album. A second double live CD, The Ozell Tapes: The Official Bootleg (2003), came next, followed by Silver Rain (2005) and Free (2008), featuring his Grammynominated crowd-rouser of Middle Eastern Funk, “Blast.”

2007 found Marcus in a new realm, as host of the North Sea Jazz Cruise, followed by the Playboy Jazz Cruise in 2009 and subsequent Smooth Jazz Cruises annually. In 2008, he coled the all-star bass trio S.M.V. with Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten for an album (entitled Thunder) followed by an extensive world tour. A concert Marcus arranged and produced with his own band and the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra featuring trumpeter Roy Hargrove and vocalist Raul Midon was recorded the same year and subsequently released as A Night in Monte Carlo. In the fall of 2009, Marcus put together a new band of young musicians for “Tutu Revisited” a project that started as a special one night PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE

only event to coincide with the acclaimed We Want Miles exhibit at Cité de la Musique in Paris - then became a two-year global sensation beautifully captured for posterity on the CD/DVD Tutu Revisited featuring Christian Scott. In 2011 Marcus went on from Tutu Revisited to co-lead another trio, DMS, a funk-jazz collaboration with George Duke and David Sanborn. In the summer of 2012 Marcus conceived of and produced the “Tribute to Miles” tour, a nine-city tour of Europe with fellow Davis alumni Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, in which they presented their unique vision of every era of Miles’ music.

In the midst of all of his tours, Miller still miraculously made time to continue working in the studio, co-producing George Benson’s concept album Songs & Stories and Dave Koz’s Grammy-nominated CD Hello Tomorrow.

He also co-produced a track with Herbie Hancock and internationally renowned singer Juanes entitled “La Tierra” for Hancock’s ambitious The Imagine Project.

Now, duly fortified and deeply inspired, Marcus Miller returns to composing and exploring new music of his own on Renaissance, his upcoming CD to be released on Concord in August 2012, with a sharper focus than ever before, a new band of curious and like-minded young musicians, and a mission to travel the world – country by country, city by city, venue by venue – to take the message of this musical movement straight to the hearts, souls, and minds of the people.

He is currently assembling a full-length hip-hop remix tribute to honor the classic recordings of Miles Davis. More recently, he co-produced the Miles Davis hip-hop remix EP, Evolution of the Groove, featuring Nas and Santana.

He is Executive Producer of the forthcoming Miles Davis film, starring Don Cheadle, directed by Antoine Fuqua and scored by multi-Grammy-winner Herbie Hancock. The U.S. Postal Service honors Miles Davis with a Forever stamp, available in June 2012.

The Hollywood Bowl and the Los Angeles Philharmonic honor Miles with “A Celebration of Miles Davis” tonight, featuring the MILES ELECTRIC BAND, led by Wilburn, Jr., along with performances by Jimmy Cobb & the Kind of Blue Band and jazz great Marcus Miller.

Pianist/composer John Beasley’s playing and music is best described by Los Angeles Times critic Bill Kohlhaase: “Beasley, the onetime keyboardist for Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis, reflects a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic chordal clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk, and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice.”

Beasley’s latest CD Positootly! earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Jazz Album. He is currently in the studio recording with his new band, 3 Brave Souls, reuniting with fellow Miles Davis alums bassist Darryl Jones and master drummer Ndugu Chancler for a rousing brand of jazz inspired by funk, soul, and their shared Louisiana roots.

Currently, he is juggling touring, composing for a documentary, title for a TV series and films, while arranging for the Luckman Jazz Orchestra and The Tonight Show band, and writing/arranging music for other artists.

He was former Music Director for tours with A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire), Queen Latifah, Steely Dan, and Artistic Director

for the 25th-anniversary gala event for the Thelonious Monk Institute.

As a child, Mino Cinelu (percussion) first learned to play the guitar. He discovered the drums and percussion and then became a professional musician at the age of sixteen.

Traveling between London and New York, he collaborated with a huge number of musicians, both in the studios and onstage, people whose origins (jazz, funk, rap, electro, flamenco, and pop) were as diverse as Mino’s associations with them were prestigious (Miles Davis, Sting, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Lou Reed, Vicente Amigo, Stevie Wonder). As a composer, multi-instrumentalist, programmer, and producer, Mino has left his mark on many kinds of music, and his reputation has earned him the status of “a man of all talents.” He has two solo albums, Mino Cinelu and Quest Journey, and the CD of the soundtrack of the film La Californie, which was prize nominated at the Cannes Film Festival.

Robert Irving III completes a distinguished lineage of post-bop pianists who collaborated with the legendary Miles Davis.

Irving’s composition “Space” inspired Davis’ comeback in 1979. He soon evolved into the roles of Davis’ producer, musical director, and film composer to become the jazz icon’s longest collaborator (1979-1988).

During this time Irving scored music for the film Street Smart, which starred Morgan Freeman in his first Oscar-nominated performance. The score featured the trumpet of Miles Davis. As a musician and as producer of three Grammy award nominated projects, Irving worked closely with music greats Sting, Wayne Shorter, Ramsey Lewis, Billy Joel, Sister Sledge, Terri Lyne Carrington, Diane Reeves, David Murray, Doudou N’Diaye Rose, Regina Carter, Wallace Roney, John Scofield, Kirk Whalum, Markus Klinko, Grover Washington Jr. and many others. More recently, Irving’s orchestral creation, “Sketches of Brazil” received three standing ovations during its recent debut before a record crowd of 12,500 at Chicago’s Millennium Park. Irving presented the piece in homage to his mentors Miles Davis and Gil Evans on the 50th anniversary of their seminal recording Sketches of Spain. Irving is currently completing his first memoir entitled, “Harmonic Possibilities.”

possesses an ever-increasing collection of instruments with which to execute his craft.

In his over 40 years of playing, he has performed with Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Herbie Hancock, Dianne Reeves, Karen Briggs, Kenny Loggins, the Zawinul Syndicate, George Howard, Ronnie Laws, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Supremes, and dozens of others, including numerous ethnic music and dance troupes. Munyungo was born in Los Angeles, and is the nephew of the legendary jazz, pop, and blues singer Nellie Lutcher. In addition to his concerts, tours, and recording work, Munyungo is one of the co-producers of the Watts Towers Day Of The Drum Festival, which brings together master drummers from all over the world to present their expertise, and the Watts Towers Jazz Festival, which presents great jazz musicians performing music from many different musical genres.

Munyungo is currently working with Stevie Wonder and the Miles Davis Electric Band.

Darryl Jones (drums) was born in Chicago.

At age 7 he began studying drums with his father. Two years later, after seeing a neighbor play bass guitar in an elementary school talent show, he switched to bass. He studied music under Dr. Joseph Miller at Chicago Vocational High School, which had an advanced music program. After attending Southern Illinois University in Carbondale for one year Darryl returned to Chicago to study at the American Conservatory of Music and began working in the local music scene playing with legendary jazz and blues artist Phillip Upchurch, among others.

Darryl emerged onto the international music scene in 1983 after auditioning for and being hired by music giant Miles Davis.

After moving to New York City in 1984 Darryl began performing with many of the great musicians in that scene, including guitarists John Scofield (a Miles Davis band member at the time), Hiram Bullock, and longtime Miles Davis collaborator Gil Evans.

In 1985 Darryl joined Sting, former frontman of The Police, along with Branford Marsalis, Kenny Kirkland, Omar Hakim, Janice Pendarvis, and Dolette McDonald to record The Dream Of the Blue Turtles. This band also appeared in the feature-length film Bring On The Night, as well as a world tour and live recording of the same name.

During the next ten years Darryl toured and/or recorded with Herbie Hancock, Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton, Madonna, Joan Armatrading, and others.

In 1993 he recorded Voodoo Lounge with

the Rolling Stones and joined them on the subsequent world tour. Darryl has been recording and touring with The Stones since then. In 1996 Darryl scored the film Love Jones and acted in a few small roles in films.

Currently, Darryl is teaching at the Musicians Institute, studying guitar building, and co-leading two trios: Stone Raiders, featuring Living Color drummer Will Calhoun and guitarist Jean Paul Bourelly; and 3 Brave Souls, with Miles Davis alumni John Beasley and Ndugu Chancler.

Blackbyrd McKnight (guitar) encompasses many styles of music to make up what he calls “progressive funk-rock.” Blackbyrd was grooved in the cradle by his father’s broad collection of jazz recordings as an infant, brainwashed by Jimi Hendrix in his teens, entered the University of Funk in his twenties, and has never stopped evolving and rocking people ever since. In the early stages of his career, Blackbyrd worked primarily with jazz musicians, such as Charles Lloyd, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock & the Headhunters, and more.

He redirected his path towards funk when he joined the P-Funk Camp in 1978, and has been funking people up ever since. He was the musical director of George Clinton and Parliament/ Funkadelic from 1980 to 2008. Other than working with P-Funk artists such as George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, and Bernie Worrell, Blackbyrd has also worked with Miles Davis, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ron Wood & Bernard Fowler of the Rolling Stones, Bill Laswell, HR of Bad Brains, Macy Gray, Fishbone, and Wyzard of Mothers Finest, to name but a few.

His first solo appearance in New York – with Will Calhoun, Melvin Gibbs, and Ronny Drayton at the Knitting Factory in September 2007 – anticipated his musical movement into the future, as well as his collaboration with Bernie Worrell to form the supergroup SociaLybrium in 2008.

Blackbyrd has recharged himself after resigning his duty as a musical director of P-Funk in early 2008 and he is now back on the scene with his long-awaited first solo album ’Bout Funkin’ Time, which was released in November 2009. He has started performing as a solo artist and looks forward to rocking your neighborhood.

Nicholas Payton is the embodiment of every trumpet player who came before him, and he leads the way for all who follow. Hailed as a virtuoso before he was even out of high school, his maturation as a prodigious talent has earned him praise as one of the most important artists of our time.

In 1994, Nicholas Payton made his recording debut as a leader with From This Moment (Verve), where he was immediately recognized as a “young lion.” Since then, Payton has consistently committed himself to developing a distinct voice beyond the strict labels that fans and critics alike have sought to pin on him.

Nicholas Payton was born September 26, 1973, in New Orleans, Louisiana, into a musical family. Encouraged by his mother, a pianist and vocalist, and his father the legendary bassist, composer, and educator Walter Payton, Nicholas showed talent for music at a very early age. He received his first trumpet at age four and by age nine was sitting in with local bands including the Young Tuxedo Brass Band.

By the age of 12 he was a member of the All Star Brass Band that performed and toured extensively. As he grew up and studied, Nicholas successfully learned how to play several instruments, including but not limited to the trumpet. He is an accomplished pianist, bassist, and drummer, and plays tuba, trombone, clarinet, and saxophone, et al. During his high school years, Payton attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts to study with Clyde Kerr Jr. and after graduation attended the University of New Orleans, where he studied with Ellis Marsalis.

Nicholas has toured with scores of musicians, including Clark Terry, Marcus Roberts, Ray Brown, Elvin Jones, and Roy Haynes, and many more. He has also performed and recorded with many musicians representing a multitude of musical genres from jazz, R&B, and hip-hop, and is credited on well over 120 recordings as a composer, arranger, special guest, or sideman.

Nicholas has recently completed his 9th recording as a leader. Bitches (2011) is a bold autobiographical solo masterwork, released on his own imprint, BMF Productions, in partnership with independent label and distributor In and Out Records. Payton explains of the album’s concept: “The idea was to express how mature men feel in a relationship when things don’t work out. It’s actually a very vulnerable record…a love record essentially. The title might suggest something else to people, but none of the lyrical content is derogatory.”

If it sounds like Nicholas Payton is a genius musician, a gifted composer and producer, a skilled astute writer and sometime social provocateur, and a shrewd businessman, he is all that, and more. His craft and artistry defy all restrictions, leaving little that he cannot do – it’s clear that Nicholas is rooted in more than just traditions.

Antoine Roney is an American jazz tenor and soprano saxophonist, brother to trumpeter Wallace Roney. Born in Philadelphia in 1963, he graduated from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts of the D. C. public schools and attended college at The Hartt School of Music of the University of Hartford, where he studied with alto saxophonist, Jackie McLean.

Throughout the ’80s and ’90s he worked with Donald Byrd, Jackie McLean, Clifford Jordan, Ted Curson, John Patton, Rashied Ali, Arthur Taylor, Jesse Davis, Ravi Coltrane, Michael Carvin, Freddie Hubard , Elvin Jones, and Wallace Roney, and has released five albums as a leader. Antoine Roney has extensively traveled throughout the world for performance and cultural studies.

Badal Roy (tabla) was born into a Hindu family in a predominantly Muslim, eastern Bengal region of India (which later became East Pakistan, then Bangladesh). He speaks the Bengali, English, Hindi, and Urdu languages. His father was a government official who served in the distinguished position of Joint Secretary. His nickname Badal (meaning “rain,” “cloud,” or “thunder” in the Bengali language) was given to him by his grandfather after he began crying in the rain as a baby.

An early inspiration for Roy was American popular music, and he particularly enjoyed the music of artists such as Elvis Presley, Pat Boone, and Nat King Cole. His first exposure to jazz came when he saw a concert by Duke Ellington and his 60-member orchestra at the Metropole Hotel in Karachi, West Pakistan in 1959; he and his brother were the only Pakistanis in attendance (the rest of the audience was white).

Roy received a master’s degree in statistics. He came to New York City in 1968 to work on a Ph.D. With only eight dollars in his pocket, he began working as a busboy and waiter in various Indian restaurants, including Taste of India and Raga. He later settled in East Brunswick Township, New Jersey.

Roy began playing the tabla at age 10 or 11, studying with his uncle. After coming to New York, he began performing with Steve Gorn at a Manhattan restaurant called Raga, eventually attracting the attention of Miles Davis.

Davis invited Roy to join his group, and he recorded on Davis’ albums On the Corner (1972), Big Fun (1974), and Get Up with It (1970-74). Roy subsequently performed and recorded with many leading jazz musicians,

including Davis, Dave Liebman, Pharoah Sanders, John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Herbie Mann, Pat Metheny, Lester Bowie, Airto Moreira, Charlie Haden, Purna Das Baul, Yoko Ono, and Ornette Coleman (playing in Coleman’s electric band Prime Time). In the 1990s Roy began performing with the Brazilian guitar duo Duofel. He has also collaborated with Ken Wessel and Stomu Takeishi in a fusion trio named Alankar. They currently have one album, entitled Daybreak.

Roy has appeared and offered workshops at RhythmFest, the Starwood Festival, and at the SpiritDrum Festival, a special tribute to the late Babatunde Olatunji (co-sponsored

by ACE and Musart) with Muruga Booker, Jim Donovan of Rusted Root, Halim El-Dabh, Richie “Shakin’ ” Nagan, Jeff Rosenbaum, and Sikiru Adepoju, among others.

He often plays with Muruga Booker in the Global Village Ceremonial Band, and with Michael Wolff & Impure Thoughts. In 2004, Roy worked with Richie Havens on the album The Grace of the Sun. In the first half of 2006, Roy traveled to Japan in order to appear in a tribute for David Baker, his recently deceased recording engineer and friend.

In addition to tabla, Roy also plays a variety of percussion instruments, including shakers, bells, rainstick, and flexatone. His notable students include Geoffrey Gordon.

In 2008, the album Miles From India, a tribute to Miles Davis on which Roy appeared, received a Grammy nomination.

Unlike many tabla players, Roy does not come from a family of professional musicians and is essentially self-taught, although he studied with his late maternal uncle Dwijendra Chandra Chakraborty as a child, and also studied briefly with Alla Rakha. Consequently, his playing is freer than that of many other tabla players, who adhere more strictly to the tala system of Indian rhythm. He often plays a set of up to eight tabla (tuned to different pitches) and two baya at a time, which he plays melodically as well as rhythmically.

The theorem of turntablist as musician has been long proven in the capable hands of DJ Logic, who with jazz as his foundation has become a wax innovator by crossing genres and sprinkling his sound across the map. As one of the world’s most accomplished turntablists, DJ Logic is widely credited for introducing jazz into the hip-hop realms and is considered by most as a highly respected session musician and an innovative bandleader.

Since his emergence in the early ’90s amidst the Bronx hip-hop scene, the New

York City based deejay has been amassing a veritable mountain of collaborations, including full-fledged bands with members of Blues Traveler (The John Popper Project Featuring DJ Logic), a trio with Steve Molitz & Freekbass (Headtronics), and a Global Jazz Band with Jason Miles (Global Noize), along with other collaborations with artists such as Medeski, Martin and Wood, Christian McBride, O.A.R., Carly Simon, Marcus Miller, Jack Johnson, Vernon Reid, Warren Haynes, Charlie Hunter, Jack DeJohnette, John Mayer, Ben Harper, Mos Def, and The Roots, to name but a few.

DJ Logic’s role as an electronic-music ambassador keeps him at the top of his game.

Whether the scratch artist instructs tablas to flirt with drum ’n’ bass (such as on his Nina Simone and Billy Holiday remixes found on Sony Legacy’s Remixed and Reimagined volumes), or while meshing freestyling MC’s with Afro-Cuban rhythms (such as on “Share Worldwide Funk,” a remix produced for Jack DeJohnette and Golden Beams Collected, Volume 1), Logic can always be found paying homage to his predecessors while contributing his vision to the deejay genre.

While the context of his work may vary, DJ Logic’s spinning skills are definitely beyond reproach. He works with a phenomenal roster of invited guests, and he knows how to pick his collaborators as well as his samples. With a growing catalogue of recordings under his belt, DJ Logic’s supreme musicianship and eclectic tastes will allow him to journey wherever an infectious groove may take him.

No explanation is necessary for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Kind of Blue. And no event seems more appropriate than a touring group under the leadership of Jimmy Cobb – the sole surviving member of the illustrious few who recorded that album in 1959 – playing the music of, and inspired

by Kind of Blue. Cobb calls his current group JIMMY COBB’S SO WHAT BAND, having chosen a select lineup from the current jazz scene that makes the term “all-star” seem inadequate in describing their collective experience and top-tier talent.

JIMMY COBB (drums) is the legendary master of 4/4, who – at the age of 83 – possesses a swing that is as driving and intricate as ever. Known for a memorable five-year stint in Miles Davis’s rhythm section from 1958 to ’63, he was born in 1929 in Washington D.C., and is the product of the city’s vibrant music scene, which overlapped

rhythm and blues and modern jazz. His wellmatched abilities as an accompanist and soloist made him an in-demand sideman starting in his teen years; before hitting the road with Earl Bostic in 1950, he had already played with the likes of Billie Holiday, Pearl Bailey, and Charlie Rouse. Through the ’50s, he provided steady and sympathetic support for Dinah Washington (whom he married), Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Cannonball Adderley, and ultimately Miles Davis. When Davis moved on to another lineup, Cobb and his rhythm mates – pianist Wynton Kelly and bassist Paul Chamber – remained together as a unit through the ’60s, performing as a trio or in the studio on a number of landmark recordings by the likes of Wes Montgomery, J. J. Johnson, and Kenny Burrell. From the ’70s on, Cobb remained a favorite accompanist, playing with Sarah Vaughan, Sonny Stitt, Nat Adderley, and Joe Albany. Most recently, he has served as an educator, session specialist, and bandleader, heading Cobb’s Mobb – with whom he has recorded three critically hailed albums to date: Cobb’s Groove, Marsalis Music Honors Jimmy Cobb, and Cobb’s Corner.

Vincent Herring (alto saxophone) is a Kentuckian who fell under the spell of a Floridian – the ever-funky and fluid Cannonball Adderley. Herring has proceeded, since arriving in New York City in 1983, to create his own sound and stamp on the jazz circle.

After playing with a wide stylistic variety of bands – from Lionel Hampton’s swing to Horace Silver’s hardbop to David Murray’s avant-garde, he settled in with Nat Adderley’s group, playing music made famous by his mentor (Nat’s brother and partner). In 1993, Herring struck out on his own. Of his 16 albums, standouts include 1993’s Secret Love, 1999’s Sterling Place All-Stars (with fellow Brooklynites pianist Ronnie Matthews, bassist Richie Goods, and drummer Carl Allen), and Live at Smoke, recorded in 2007 in one of New York’s leading uptown nightclubs.

Javon Jackson (tenor saxophone) is a member of the last graduating class of the University of Art Blakey – and stands as a devotee of the hardbop sound propagated by such pioneers as Hank Mobley and Joe Henderson. He grew up in Cleveland and

Denver, attended Berklee School of Music, and after Blakey, developed his sound in bands led by the Harper Brothers, Benny Green, Freddie Hubbard, and Elvin Jones.

To date, he has recorded fourteen solid and well-received albums as a leader, beginning with One for All in 1991 and, most recently, Celebrating John Coltrane and Lucky 13.

Jeremy Pelt (trumpet) is one of the most talked-about trumpeters of the past decade.

The Los Angeles native and New York resident burst onto the jazz scene in New York in 1998. Armed with dual degrees from Berklee College of Music in jazz performance and film scoring, it was not long before his talents were recognized and he played his first professional gig with the Mingus Big Band. That gig led to many long-lasting associations with members in the band, and provided a great opportunity for growth. Pelt quickly became a first-call musician and his efforts earned him an extensive feature article by legendary journalist and producer Nat Hentoff in the Wall Street Journal.

Since his arrival, Pelt has been fortunate enough to play with many of today’s and yesterday’s jazz luminaries, such as Jimmy Heath, Frank Wess, Jimmy Cobb, Ravi Coltrane, Charli Persip, Keter Betts, Bobby Short, Bobby “Blue” Bland, The Skatalites, Cedar Walton, Nancy Wilson, and many, many more.

Pelt has been the recipient of nonstop worldwide critical acclaim and progressively greater audiences ever since his debut release, Profile, as a leader, in 2002. With his impeccable, lyrical sound and animated, biting solos, it is easy to see why firebrand trumpeter Jeremy Pelt has been voted Rising Star on the Trumpet five years in a row by DownBeat Magazine and why he won a Jazz Journalist Association award for up and coming musician of the year. The New York Times says, “Pelt plays brilliantly, with warmth and depth.” Critics agree that Pelt has proven himself to be not only a fitting guardian of the jazz tradition but also an adept composer and leader in his own right.

In addition to nine critically acclaimed CDs as a leader (Soul on HighNote Records, being the latest), Pelt appears on over four dozen discs as a sideman including those of living legends Wayne Shorter (Alegria), Cedar Walton (Seasoned Wood), and Gerald Wilson (In My Time).

Buster Williams (bass) is simply one of the most instantly recognizable and respected standup bassists in jazz today. He has ridden the stylistic shifts in the music scene –

from acoustic to electric and back again – with aplomb, and left an indelible mark on all the bands fortunate to include him. Born in Camden, New Jersey, Williams fell under the spell of Oscar Pettiford and pursued music studies in Philadelphia. The roster of stars with whom he toured through the ’60s includes great players like Jimmy Heath, Gene Ammons, and Sonny Stitt, and vocalists Dakota Staton, Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughan, and Nancy Wilson. As a funkier and more amplified sound found its way into the scene, he worked with the Jazz Crusaders, Miles Davis, and Bobby Hutcherson/Harold Land, but it was with Herbie Hancock’s groundbreaking group Mwandishi – in which Williams juggled both standup and electric bass – that his legend was made. He later joined groups led by legendary pianist Mary Lou Williams and Ron Carter. Williams’ work as a leader – beginning in 1976 – and as a member of both the Timeless All Stars and the Monk-tribute group Sphere, have secured his A-list status. From the ’80s to the present, it’s difficult to find a jazz headliner he has not accompanied. In 2008, Williams began releasing a series of live albums exclusively for download through his company, Buster Williams Productions.

Larry Willis (piano) is one the most talented yet unsung pianists of the same generation as McCoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock.

Part of the reason is a restless (and somewhat reverse) approach to jazz styles: first being associated with free jazz ensembles, then fusion during the ’70s and finally proving himself in hardbop groups in the ’80s and ’90s. A native New Yorker, Willis graduated from the Manhattan School of Music and immediately joined bands led by Jackie McLean and Hugh Masekela, and recorded with Lee Morgan and Stan Getz. After adopting synthesizer and electric piano in the ’70s, he worked on sessions with Cannonball Adderley, Joe Henderson, and Richard “Groove” Holmes, and joined the rock/jazz fusion group Blood, Sweat & Tears in 1972. In the ’80s, he returned to a more acoustic path, playing with Nat Adderley, Woody Shaw, and others. Willis has made albums as a leader since 1970, on the whole preferring tighter lineups of quartets and quintets. 2008’s The Offering features fun and fractured overview of jazz styles (including a funky treatment of the Star Wars theme).

ABOUT THE

ARTISTS

“I’ve never made a record that was such a timeline,” says BEN HARPER of his album Give Till It’s Gone (2011). “It’s a real extension of the last year and half in my life, and all these sounds are inspired by my experiences. It’s as honest a musical statement as I could make.”

The recent past has certainly seen Harper at a creative peak, juggling several highprofile, far-flung projects. Yet somewhere amidst all this activity, he found the time and the focus to write a new set of songs that represents the most personal and diverse collection in his career.

The first clue to his intentions can be found in the fact that Give Till It’s Gone is credited simply to Ben Harper. “You can’t tell which band is playing – it just sounds like me,” he says. “I wanted to create a fresh sound that was also directly connected to the feel of everything I’ve ever done.”

The songs on Give Till It’s Gone are nothing less than a revelation. They express one man’s struggle, confusion, and, ultimately, redemption. Harper lays it all out in “Don’t Give Up On Me Now,” the album’s opening track. “I need to change / I don’t know how,” he sings. “You can wait your whole life not knowing what you’re waiting for.”

Elsewhere, he offers both defiance and tenderness, veering from fury in “Dirty Little Lover” to the surrender of “Feel Love.” At times, his fears and his vulnerability are almost too much to bear; “my last line of defense is gone,” he pleads in “Pray That Our Love Sees the Dawn.” Harper has never been afraid to dig deep into his emotions for his songs, but there’s a sense of maturity and

experience on Give Till It’s Gone that add new weight to his efforts.

He rattles off the ways in which different encounters have left their mark on his work, such as the impact of a recent show in London at which he opened for Neil Young.

“He was singing ‘Rockin’ in the Free World,’ and my mind turned into a tunnel,” he says.

“All I heard was ‘rock, free, rock, free.’ I went back to my room and I wrote the song ‘Rock n Roll is Free’ in its entirety, I was so inspired

by Neil that night.” Harper notes that he intended that the title of this liberating anthem, the album’s first single, to have multiple meanings. “Rock ’n’ roll has never been as free as it is now, in every sense of the word,” he says. “It’s just waiting for you all the time, and it won’t cost you to take musical chances, to expand your palette and your mind. It’s great to be part of this transitional age that’s happening.”

The “turning point” in Give Till It’s Gone, Harper says, came with the recording of “Spilling Faith,” a psychedelic-tinged song that sounds like an outtake from Revolver, featuring the inimitable drumming of Ringo Starr. The two musicians became friendly after meeting at a benefit concert at Radio City Music Hall in 2009, and Harper’s band Relentless7 backed up Starr on a number of promotional shows. “Ringo came in the studio and we all just talked for an hour,” says Harper. “He said, ‘I want this to be a really positive, uplifting song’ – he laid out the guidelines. So we all co-wrote the song, and the recording is live, exactly as it went down.

That song unlocked the entire record,” says Harper. “It was a huge musical moment for this band, and I’ll never forget that day as long as I live.”

Other musical heroes played different roles in the development of songs for Give Till It’s Gone. Jackson Browne’s studio in Los Angeles was the location of most of the album’s recording sessions, and when Harper was cutting “Pray That Our Love Sees the Dawn,” he had a sudden flash that he should add the pioneering songwriter’s unmistakable voice to the song. “I played it for him, we set up the mics, and in an hour it was done,” says Harper.

The inspiration for “Don’t Give Up On Me Now,” meanwhile, came at a birthday tribute concert for Roy Orbison. “I was with his

family, and I was deeply affected by him that night,” Harper says. “I could just hear him singing this song.”

Harper’s non-musical interests also helped steer his direction. “I’m a skater,” he says, “I do it a few hours a day, and it’s a huge part of my life now.” He points out some lyrics on the song “Clearly Severely” – “If it hurts, do it twice / avoid the void” and “there is no breath left for words” – and explains that “if you’re skating and you start talking and lose focus, that concrete is a pretty severe confrontation.”

This sense of physical risk mirrors the emotional tightrope Ben Harper walks on Give Till It’s Gone. “It’s not a safe record,” he says with pride. “Hopefully, it has a grittiness, a sense of confrontation. There were a couple of songs where I thought, ‘Am I really going to put that out there?’

“But it’s great to be this many years in and still be uncertain, still feel like you don’t fully have it down. When you think you have something down, then it never really sounds the same.”

In just a year or so, soulsters FITZ & THE TANTRUMS went from the living room to the main stage. The recipe for meteoric success?

Six killer musicians, five dapper suits, irresistible songs, some serendipity, and one vintage organ.

Since their first show at Hollywood’s Hotel Café in December 2008, Fitz and co. have toured with Maroon 5, played to thousands at Colorado’s world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre, shared the stage on New Year’s Eve with Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, and performed on KCRW’s esteemed show

Morning Becomes Eclectic, all on the strength of their stellar five-song EP, Songs for a Breakup, Vol. 1.

It all began when… [cue flashback sounds] “I got a call from my ex-girlfriend,” Fitz explains, “and she said, ‘My neighbor is moving out in a hurry and has to sell everything.

And, he has this organ…’ ” Fitz, the Svengali frontman of the crew, describes the find like the discovery of a compass, or that treasure map in Goonies, which undoubtedly leads to adventure. Not one to say no, Fitz called some piano movers, cashed in some favors, and seven hours later, the organ went from the curb to his living room. That night, Fitz stationed himself in front of that vintage instrument and wrote a blue-eyed soul anthem, “Breaking the Chains of Love.”

“Sometimes, the Music Gods just give it to you,” Fitz says.

In that same living room, he recorded Songs for a Breakup, Vol. 1, a burst of effervescent swingers and floor-stompers, infused with the energy of long-forgotten songs.

Like the EP, Fitz recorded the group’s debut full-length, Pickin’ Up The Pieces, back at home, to bottle the lightning that struck in those first jam sessions. He now delves into more acerbic lyrical territory, going on the offensive against gold diggers on the exceptionally funky “MoneyGrabber,” and even gets political on the piano-banging, handclapdriven call to action, “Dear Mr. President.”

In their sound and on the stage, Fitz & The Tantrums are nothing but professionals, and never less than classy. Enter The Tantrums, Fitz’s airtight ensemble, keeping it real like it’s 1969. Funky drummer John Wicks is a Motown B-side aficionado and prolific session player; Jeremy Ruzumna manned the keyboards and was musical director for Macy Gray. James King backed De La Soul, and bassist Joseph Karnes is a well soughtafter session player. Then there’s Noelle Scaggs, the powerful voice behind Fitz’s croons. Make no mistake, Scaggs is not just there for “doo-wops” and handclaps. She shimmies and flirts, she stokes the crowd and simmers them down, and she has no qualms about keeping Fitz in check. “She is not just a backup singer,” Fitz says, “We have repartee. Onstage, we’re Ike and Tina.”

There, on the stage, Fitz & The Tantrums is not just a band; it’s an explosion. Scaggs high steps it to the tight-as-hell rhythm section, while Fitz, cooler than cobalt, croons like Daryl Hall for a new generation. It’s obvious that this is no tryst for the band; this is a full-blown, head-over-heels love affair.

Pickin’ Up The Pieces is available on the Dangerbird Records website: dangerbirdrecords.com/downloads/fitz-and-thetantrums.

Often referred to as “The Hendrix of the Sahara,” VIEUX FARKA TOURÉ was born in Niafunké, Mali in 1981. He is the son of legendary Malian guitar player Ali Farka Touré, who died in 2006. Ali Farka Touré came from a historical tribe of soldiers, and defied his parents in becoming a musician. When Vieux was in his teens, he declared that he also wanted to be a musician. His father disapproved, due to the pressures he had experienced being a musician; rather, he wanted Vieux to become a soldier. But with help from kora maestro Toumani Diabaté, Ali gave his blessing for Vieux to become a musician, shortly before Ali passed.

Vieux was initially a drummer / calabash player at Mali’s Institut National des Arts, but secretly began playing guitar in 2001. Ali Farka Touré was weakened with cancer when Vieux announced that he was going to record an album. Ali recorded a couple of tracks with him, and these recordings, which can be heard on Vieux’s debut CD, were amongst Ali’s final ones. It has been said that the senior Touré played rough mixes of these songs when people visited him in his final days, at peace with – and proud of – his son’s talent as a musician.

In 2005, Eric Herman (still Vieux’s manager today) of Modiba Productions expressed an interest in producing an album for Vieux; this led to Vieux’s self-titled debut album, released

by World Village in 2007. Ali Farka Touré’s quest to tackle the problem of malaria is continued, as 10% of the album’s proceeds are donated to Modiba’s “Fight Malaria” campaign in Niafunké.

To date, over 3000 mosquito nets have been delivered to children and pregnant women in the Timbuktu region of Mali. On this first album, Vieux paid homage to his father and followed Ali’s musical tradition, giving new

versions of West African music that is echoed in American blues. The album features Toumani Diabaté, as well as Vieux’s late father.

One of the tracks, “Courage,” is on the soundtrack of the film The First Grader (2010).

On his second record, Fondo (Six Degrees, 2009), Vieux branched out and presented his own sound: while remaining true to the roots of his father’s music, he used elements of rock, Latin music, and other African influences. The album received a great deal of critical acclaim from across the globe, and Vieux was clearly moving out of his father’s shadow.

In June 2010, Vieux performed at the opening concert for the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. That month Vieux also released his first live album, LIVE. His live performances are highly energized, and Vieux is known for dazzling crowds with his speed and dexterity on the guitar as well as his palpable charisma and luminous smile, both of which captivate audiences in spite of any language barriers (though Vieux does speak eight languages).

In 2011 Vieux released his third studio album, The Secret, so named because the listener will hear the secret of the blues with a blend of generations from father to son. It was produced by guitarist Eric Krasno (of the Soulive trio) and features South Africanborn vocalist Dave Matthews, Derek Trucks on electric slide guitar, and jazz guitarist John Scofield. The title track is the last collaboration between Vieux and his late father.

With the heralded release of The Secret, Vieux Farka Touré has clearly established himself as one of the world’s rare musical talents and guitar virtuosos with a distinct style that always pays homage to the past while looking towards the future.

ABOUT THE

PROGRAM

The July Fourth Fireworks Spectacular this year explores the musical heritage of the United States, from marches and jazz to musical theater and dance. American pop icon Barry Manilow joins conductor Sarah Hicks and the Los Angeles Philharmonic for an evening of classic hits to celebrate our country’s 236th birthday.

John Williams (b. 1932) has to be one of the most prolific and popular composers of our time. He is the vastly influential and popular dean of American film composers, of course, but his works for the concert hall also have met with acclaim from both critics and audience – Soundings, composed for the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s inaugural festivities for Walt Disney Concert Hall, was a great success, and it joined a long list of works composed for leading orchestras and soloists around the world. Williams has also become one of America’s leading composers of music for important public occasions. Since the 1980s, he has written several works to mark anniversaries or other events, among them the spirited Liberty Fanfare (1986) for the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty.

A child prodigy, the multifariously talented Morton Gould (1913-1996) wrote his first compositions at the age of six. One of Gould’s most frequently performed pieces, American Salute is based on a song that is firmly entrenched in American lore — the Civil War tune “When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again.” This sturdy but plangent modal melody is treated in a set of free variations in which both the rhythm and the melody are exploited imaginatively and with great orchestral brilliance. The song’s rhythmic element is the first to be put through a series of transformations, which includes a wide spectrum of sonorities. The melody itself calls forth a variety of modifications, a snappy, syncopated jazz episode, and a dazzling, rip-snorting finale.

Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) and Aaron Copland (1900-1990) defined American classical music in the 20th century, in part by making a virtue of eclecticism. Equally famous as a composer, conductor, and pianist, the protean Bernstein wrote symphonies, film scores, and shows with characteristically P16

polystylistic flair. West Side Story, which opened in Washington, D.C. in 1957, completely overthrew the reigning gentility of a Broadway show with its gritty urban version of the Romeo and Juliet story and insouciant musical swing from operatic flights to jazz fights.

The commission for Copland’s Rodeo came, surprisingly enough, from the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo, but with the choreography and scenario by Agnes de Mille. The ballet was precedent-setting – there were said to be 22 curtain calls at its premiere at the Metropolitan Opera House on October 16, 1942 – and the success of this ballet ensured that dance would thrive as an integral part of American musical theater. The ballet takes place at Burnt Ranch, where a Cowgirl finds herself competing with visiting city girls for the attention of the local cowboys, especially the Head Wrangler. Hoedown begins with dynamism and verve, signaling the Cowgirl’s rebirth: She has suddenly put aside her cowpoke duds and reappeared as the prettiest girl in the room. Copland borrows two square dance tunes – “Bonyparte” and “McLeod’s Reel” – to aid in this romp, a fanciful and uplifting take on the American square dance.

Jazz, itself a fusion, is perhaps the quintessential American music. Louis Prima (19101978) followed the major trends in jazz during his life, from Dixieland through big band swing and Vegas lounge music to fusion styles. He wrote the swing standard “Sing, Sing, Sing” in 1936, and Benny Goodman’s performance of it at Carnegie Hall in January 1938 made it a natural for inclusion in the 1955 biopic The Benny Goodman Story.

Robert Lowden (1920-1998) served in the U.S. Army Band during World War II and went on to compose and arrange for Claude Thornhill’s big band and for 101 Strings. His Armed Forces Salute gathers the songs and marches of the branches of the United States military, with allusions to other patriotic music in the transitions. The earliest version of the Army’s song was the “Caisson Song,” written by three lieutenants stationed in the Philippines in 1908. In 1917 John Philip Sousa was asked to adapt it as a march for the Field Artillery, and in that form it became a huge popular hit. “Semper Paratus” (Always Ready), the official song of the U.S. Coast Guard, was

composed by Coast Guard Captain Francis S. Van Boskerck while stationed in Alaska in 1927. The “Marines Hymn” gradually acquired anonymous lyrics in the 19th century. The tune now used is based on the Gendarmes Duet from Jacques Offenbach’s opera Geneviève de Brabant, which premiered in Paris in 1859. “The United States Air Force” – also known as “Off we go into the wild blue yonder,” its first line – was written by Captain Robert MacArthur Crawford as the “Army Air Corps Song” in 1939, and won a competition organized by the Air Corps, with a $1,000 prize from Liberty magazine. (In 1947 the words “United States Air Force” replaced “Army Air Corps” in the title.) “Anchors Away” is the fight song of the U.S Naval Academy, and was composed in 1906 by Lieutenant Charles A. Zimmerman, the bandmaster at the Academy.

In the last half of the 1800s, Austria had its waltz king – Johann Strauss Jr. – and America had its march king – John Philip Sousa (18541932). Sousa was known the world over as a bandleader and the composer of dozens of marches, as well as of operettas, orchestral suites, and songs. The three marches on tonight’s program are American classics. The Washington Post was completed by Sousa in 1889, a commission for the Washington Post newspaper award ceremonies for promising journalists and essayists. Sousa penned Semper Fidelis in 1888. The march takes its title from the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps: Semper Fidelis – Always Faithful. It was dedicated to those who inspired it – the officers and men of the United States Marine Corps.

In Sousa’s own words: “I wrote Semper Fidelis one night while in tears, after my comrades of the Marine Corps had sung their famous hymn at Quantico.” It became one of his most popular marches, and Sousa himself considered it his best. The Stars and Stripes Forever! was written in 1896 while Sousa was aboard ship from England to the United States.

ABOUT THE

ARTISTS

With worldwide record sales exceeding 80 million, BARRY MANILOW is ranked as the top Adult Contemporary chart artist of all time with 47 top 40 hits. Manilow has produced, arranged, and released over 40 albums over the course of his career. Manilow’s latest album, Live in London, is available now.

In the winter of 2010, Manilow received his latest Grammy nomination for The Greatest Love Songs of All Time, co-produced by Manilow, Clive Davis, and Michael Lloyd. The platinum album The Greatest Songs Of The Fifties was released January 31, 2006, and became his first No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 album chart and first No. 1 album since the triple-platinum double-LP Barry Manilow/Live. The platinum album The Greatest Songs Of The Sixties was released October 31, 2006, entering the chart at No. 2.

With those two albums, Manilow became the first artist since 1981 to have two albums in the top two positions in one calendar year on the Billboard chart. Next came The Greatest Songs Of The Seventies, released September 18, 2007, entering the Billboard charts at No. 4, making it Manilow’s 33rd charting album, his 11th Top 10, and his 10th Top 10 debut, and making him the only artist to have three top four debuts on the Billboard 200 chart in two years.

The Greatest Songs Of The Eighties marked the fourth collaboration between Manilow and Clive Davis, when he returned to the Arista label after a five-year absence (which was distinguished by new albums on Concord and Columbia.) As the founder and president of Arista Records for its first 25 years, Davis was a perennial collaborator with Manilow on virtually all his recordings. They first worked together on “Mandy,” Manilow’s debut No. 1 single, after he became the first performer signed by Clive Davis to Arista in 1974, the first year of the label’s existence.

Manilow’s roots are in his native Brooklyn, where music was an integral part of his life.

By the age of seven, he was taking accordion lessons and playing on a neighbor’s piano.

Chosing a career in music while still in his teens, he attended New York College of Music and the Juilliard School of Music while working in the mailroom at CBS. He subsequently became musical director for a CBS show named Callback that led to a lucrative sideline on New York’s advertising jingle circuit.

In 1971, Barry Manilow met Bette Midler and became her music director, arranger, and pianist. The following year, he signed with Bell Records to record his debut solo album. In 1974, Clive Davis founded a new label, Arista, along with Columbia Pictures.

Davis had the right to choose any artist on the Columbia Pictures-owned Bell Records to bring to Arista. Davis chose Manilow and the rest is history. He famously brought Manilow a recent U.K. hit song entitled “Brandy” (by its writer Scott English). Clive changed the title to “Mandy” so it wouldn’t be confused with the Looking Glass U.S. hit “Brandy.” When Manilow’s Arista single reached No. 1 in early 1975, it ignited one of the most incandescent careers in pop.

Manilow is ranked as the top Adult Contemporary chart artist of all time, according to R&R (Radio & Records), with no less than 25 consecutive Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1975 and 1983. The list includes all-time favorites that Manilow still sings today: “Mandy,” “It’s a Miracle,” “Could It Be Magic,” “I Write the Songs,” “Tryin’ to Get the Feeling Again,” “This One’s for You,” “Weekend in New England,” “Looks Like We Made It,” “Can’t Smile Without You,” “Even Now,” and the Grammy-winning “Copacabana (At the Copa).” All of these songs (and more) were anthologized on the commemorative 1992 four-CD boxed-set, Barry Manilow: The Complete Collection and then Some. To date, 29 albums by Manilow have been certified platinum, while Barry Manilow/Live (1977), Even

Now (1978), and Greatest Hits (1978) are each certified triple platinum.

In June 2002, Manilow was inducted into the National Academy of Popular Music’s Songwriters Hall of Fame alongside Ashford & Simpson, Michael Jackson, Randy Newman, and Sting. Manilow is a member of the Board of Governors of the National Academy of Jazz.

His autobiography, Sweet Life: Adventures on the Way to Paradise, was published by McGraw-Hill in 1987.

In 2008 he created the Manilow Music Project as part of his Manilow Fund for Health and Hope (manilowmusicproject.org).

Answering the call of need at a time when arts and music programs in most schools is the first casualty in budget cuts, MMP provided $500,000 worth of musical instruments, as well as sheet music and music stands to 21 local schools in the Coachella Valley.

Manilow performed his first ever Hollywood Bowl orchestra-backed concert on October 24, 2009, where, in association with the Manilow Music Project and the Grammy Foundation, he raised a donation of $100,000 in musical instruments for the LAUSD. An avid philanthropist, Manilow raised nearly half a million for local charities in the Palm Springs/ Coachella Valley leading into Christmas 2009, which with this latest charitable donation takes his efforts well over one million dollars. MMP has been the driving force in instrument drives and donations in major markets across the country, and continues with every new show Manilow performs.

Noted in The New York Times as part of “a new wave of female conductors in their late 20s through early 40s,” SARAH HICKS has secured her place in “the next generation of up-and-coming American conductors.” In October of 2009 she was named Principal Conductor, Pops and Presentations, of the Minnesota Orchestra; in addition to conducting most Pops and Special Presentations, she is instrumental in creating new Pops productions while also heading the innovative classical series, “Inside the Classics,” for which she recently completed a Microcommission Project with composer Judd Greenstein. Hicks currently holds the positions of both Associate Conductor of the North Carolina Symphony and Staff Conductor of the Curtis Institute of Music. Throughout her career she has collaborated with many diverse artists, from Jaime Laredo and Hilary Hahn to Ben Folds and Smokey Robinson; she recently finished a two-month tour with Sting as conductor of the final leg of his Symphonicities Tour.

Hicks has guest conducted extensively both in the States and abroad, including the Chicago Symphony, the San Francisco Symphony, the Atlanta Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Columbus Symphony, the Milwaukee Symphony, the Detroit Symphony, the National Symphony, the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, the Prime Philharmonic (Seoul, Korea), the Chattanooga Symphony, and the Charleston Symphony. Upcoming appearances include a debut with the Indianapolis Symphony P18

and the Hawaii Symphony as well as return engagements with the Florida Symphony, the Chicago Symphony, and the San Francisco Symphony.

Hicks’ past positions include Associate Conductor of the Richmond Symphony Orchestra, Resident Conductor of the Florida Philharmonic, Assistant Conductor of the Reading Symphony, and Assistant Conductor of the Philadelphia Singers, the chorus of the Philadelphia Orchestra, whom she has led in radio broadcasts heard nationwide. She has also been Music Director of the Hawaii Summer Symphony, an ensemble she founded in 1991 in her hometown of Honolulu and which she led for five seasons.

Hicks was invited to Japan by the New National Theater Tokyo, where she acted as assistant conductor to a production of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, and has performed Verdi’s Aida with the East Slovak State Opera Theater. Her extensive work with the Curtis Opera Studio includes performances of Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmelites and numerous vocal concerts; she led the Opera Studio’s production of Handel’s Alcina in 2005 and led the Minnesota Orchestra in a semi-staged production of Humperdinck’s Hansel und Gretel in 2009.

A committed proponent of the performance of new music, Hicks recently conceived and completed a Microcommission Project (the first of its kind) with the Minnesota Orchestra, in which hundreds of people made “micro” donations to fund a major new work by composer Judd Greenstein.

For more information, go to minnesotaorchestra.org/insidetheclassics/microcommission.html. She regularly leads the Curtis Symphony Orchestra in readings, recordings, and performances of contemporary works. In addition to premiering works by young composers from both the Curtis Institute and the University of Pennsylvania, she has collaborated with Ned Rorem and Jennifer Higdon.

She has also conducted performances with Composers in the Shape of a Pear (Cleveland) and the Aspen Contemporary Ensemble.

Hicks was a faculty member at the Curtis Institute of Music from 2000-2005, and continues her affiliation with Curtis as Staff Conductor. She has prepared the Symphony Orchestra of the Curtis Institute for readings and concerts with leading conductors, including Wolfgang Sawallisch and Sir Simon Rattle. Her work with the Curtis Symphony led to a one-season appointment as assistant conductor to the UBS Verbier Festival Orchestra, an ensemble she trained intensively for Music Director James Levine, to whom she acted as assistant conductor.

Sarah Hicks was born in Tokyo, Japan and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. Trained on both the piano and viola, she was a prizewinning pianist by her early teens. She received her BA magna cum laude from Harvard University in Composition; her AIDS Oratorio was premiered in May of 1993 and received a second performance at the Fogg Art Museum the following December. She holds a degree in conducting from the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with renowned pedagogue Otto-Werner Mueller. Hicks’ talents have been recognized with numerous prizes and scholarships; she received the Thomas Hoopes Prize for composition and the Doris Cohen Levy Prize for conducting from Harvard University, and she was the recipient of the Helen F. Whitaker Fund Scholarship and a Presser Award during her time at Curtis.

In her spare time, Hicks enjoys running, yoga, her German shepherd, cooking (and eating) with her husband, blogging, traveling, and songwriting.

ABOUT THE

ARTIST

Best known for his work in film and television, GEORGE FENTON is one of the UK’s most successful composers, writing scores for over 100 films and collaborating with some of the most influential filmmakers.

In 1990 he composed the score for the BBC Natural History series, Trials of Life, his first collaboration with Alastair Fothergill and the start of a creative relationship that has

spanned over 20 years, culminating in the Earth Trilogy: The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, and Frozen Planet. This trilogy has changed the face of natural history filmmaking, bringing the wonders of the planet to mass audiences worldwide.

Fenton’s scores matched the ambition of these series, masterfully using music to underscore the stories unfolding on screen.

Following the success of The Blue Planet, for which he won Ivor Novello, BAFTA, and Emmy awards for Best Television Score, Fenton created the show, The Blue Planet in Concert, which has been performed by the world’s leading orchestras. Following its international success, Fenton was asked to create Planet Earth in Concert, which toured America in 2010 and is set to embark on its first UK tour this summer. Frozen Planet in Concert completes the trilogy and premieres at these concerts at the Hollywood Bowl in July 2012.

Alongside his work in natural history, Fenton has continued to compose for theater and film. Recent projects include the soundtrack for Ken Loach’s latest film The Angels’ Share, which won the Jury Prize at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, and the music for John Hodge’s acclaimed new play The Collaborators, which premiered at the National Theatre, London last year.

Throughout his career Fenton’s work has been recognized with numerous awards, receiving five Oscar nominations, multiple Ivor Novello, BAFTA, and Emmy awards; a Classical Brit; the Nina Rota award at Venice; a Lifetime Achievement award from the Royal Television Society, and a Fellowship of the Royal College of Music and BASCA.

ABOUT THE

ARTISTS

Allan Pineda Lindo, better known as Apl.de.ap, is a hip-hop musician, record producer, and member of the Grammy-winning group The Black Eyed Peas. Born in Angeles

City, Pampanga in the Philippines, Apl.de.ap would grow to become one of the world’s most recognizable Filipinos in entertainment and popular music. Today, he is on a mission to go back to the Philippines to build a bridge that links the country, its people, and culture to the global entertainment world in such a way that has not been done before.

Like many Filipinos, Apl.de.ap left the Philippines to create a better life for himself and family. The eldest of seven, he would farm sweet potatoes, corn, sugarcane, and rice to help earn money for his family. At 14 years of age, through an adoption program, Apl.de.ap would leave the Philippines for the United States. Within weeks of his arrival, he would meet William Adams (a.k.a. will.i.am).

Together, the two, with Jaime Gomez (a.k.a.

Taboo ) and Stacy Ferguson (a.k.a. Fergie), would later form one of the world’s biggest music groups - The Black Eyed Peas.

“With an education, we can be anything!”

That sums up the message that Apl.de.ap, the Filipino-American member of the multiGrammy-winning Black Eyed Peas, wants to deliver to the Filipino youth through his upcoming advocacy. A joint advocacy of the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation (NCAF) P22

PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE

and the Apl.de.ap Foundation, “We Can Be Anything” will support private sector efforts to build public school classrooms and other learning centers all over the Philippines. The advocacy campaign is being made possible by enlightened sponsors like PLDT Smart Foundation, One Meralco Foundation, Philippine Airlines, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, as well as network partners like ABS-CBN and TV5 and mall partners, SM Supermalls and Ayala Land, Inc. As special ambassador for education of NCAF’s iamninoy-iamcory movement, Apl.de.ap is boosting programs like the Bayanihang Pampaaralan (BP) program of the 57-75 Education Reform Alliance. By consolidating the efforts of various companies and non-government organizations (NGOs), BP seeks to build 10,000 new classrooms in two years or less.

According to Undersecretary Rizalino Rivera of the Department of Education (DepEd), with the current backlog of 66,800 classrooms, the private sector boost to the construction effort is most welcome. By official estimates, it would take over P40 billion to fill this gap. Since the government has very limited funds with which to build classrooms, public schools often have to cram 60-65 students in each classroom meant for 40 pupils. Some schools are forced to hold classes in corridors and under trees. “I was born here, and I’d like to give back to the Philippines by making it possible for more kids to go to school,” Apl.de.ap said. “I would not have gotten this far were it not for an education, and I’d like to be able to help the young ones out there to achieve their dreams.” He composed the upbeat song, “We Can Be Anything,” released recently by MCA Music, to make the advocacy campaign resonate among the youth. “It’s not just about building classrooms,” explained Rafael C. Lopa, NCAF president. “Ultimately, it’s about empowering the youth and securing our future.” To support the campaign, visit www.wecanbeanything.com.

will.i.am, a multi-faceted entertainer and creative innovator, is a seven-time Grammy winner. Known for his work with The Black Eyed Peas, who have sold 31 million albums and 58 million singles worldwide, he also

works with some of the industry’s biggest names, including Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, David Guetta, and film composer Hans Zimmer.

Frontman and founder of The Black Eyed Peas, will.i.am has released two songs from his upcoming solo CD, #willpower, on Interscope Records. The first two singles from the CD released in 2012 are “T.H.E (The Hardest Ever),” featuring Mick Jagger and Jennifer Lopez, and “This is Love,” featuring Eva Simons.

His songs and imagery have entertained and inspired millions, and the power of his words resonated deeply in his song “Yes We Can” that mobilized an entire generation to action during the 2008 presidential campaign. Demonstrating that music, brands, and causes can be intertwined to entertain and inform, “Yes We Can” garnered an Emmy Award for Best New Approaches in Daytime Entertainment.

In 2011, will.i.am executive produced and starred in his first prime time TV special “i.am FIRST: Science is Rock and Roll” to get young people excited about math and science education, as well as technology and science related careers. Earlier this year he starred as a Coach on the hit reality TV show “The Voice” UK edition that aired on BBC One. While in London, will.i.am was a featured performer in “Concert for The Queen” in celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee.

As a musician, producer, director, and advocate for education, he is an enthusiastic user of technologies in both his professional

HBOWL_PROG_WK1.f_PerformancesHB11 6/7/12 2:46 PM Page P23

and personal lives. In recognition of his ability to harness technology to enhance entertainment, creativity, and communication, Intel Corporation appointed will as Director of Creative Innovation in 2011.

With a commitment to inspire kids to stay in school and go to college to become the leaders of tomorrow, will.i.am advocates regarding the importance and power of a good education through his i.am angel foundation’s i.am scholarship. The i.am scholarship provides future leaders and innovators with comprehensive financial assistance to complete post-secondary education.

Recognized and honored by numerous industry organizations, will.i.am is the recipient of multiple Grammys, a Latin Grammy, an Emmy Award, two NAACP Image Awards, the BMI President’s Award, and a 2008 Webby Award.

The multi-talented and exceptionally stylish Jaime Gomez, also known to his band mates and fans as TABOO, is not just a member of the global chart-topping sensation The

Black Eyed Peas, but also an accomplished dancer, actor, author, shoe designer, and philanthropist, and is quickly becoming a global DJ sensation.

Born in East Los Angeles, Taboo followed his dream of being an entertainer and rose

from humble beginnings to unimaginable success.

The fates aligned in 1995 when Taboo was introduced to his fellow band mates will.i.am and Apl.de.ap at a break dancing club in LA. The trio formed a friendship that would later evolve into a group that called themselves The Black Eyed Peas, as they felt their music was “food for the soul.”

In 2003, vocalist Fergie joined the group and they released the breakout album Elephunk launching The Black Eyed Peas into superstardom. Monkey Business, their fourth album, followed with more global hits such as “Don’t Phunk With My Heart” and “My Humps.” With their fifth album debuting at the top of the charts, The E.N.D. has broken several Billboard records, with singles like “Boom Boom Pow” and “I gotta feelin” staying at No. 1 for over 27 weeks. In November 2010, they released their sixth album, The Beginning. In February 2011, the group had the honor of performing at the Superbowl XLV halftime show, solidifying them as one of the biggest acts in music history. Taboo also has the distinction of being the first Mexican-American to headline the Superbowl halftime show.

Having sold over a staggering 55 million albums worldwide, the Grammy-winners have brought their enigmatic fusion of pop, hip-hop, and dance music to a huge global audience. Taboo has been a driving force of their unique style and energy, which comes across on or off the stage.

OGIE ALCASID is one of the most versatile personalities in showbiz. He is a model of how a true artist should be. He was introduced to the market in 1988 when he signed up with OctoArts International and made his debut album with the carrier single “Nandito Ako.” This cut became a chart topper and reached gold in month’s time. From then on, Ogie become one of the most sought after OPM hit makers.

Since the year 1990 up to the present, Ogie’s accomplishments and achievements have received many major credits and awards – recognition that is worthy to be given to a very talented artist.

In 1990, with the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Award, Ogie received recognition

as the Most Popular Male Recording Artist.

He also represented his country at the 1990 ASEAN Song Festival held at Kuala Lumpur. In 1991, his song “Pagkakataon” was honored by the Awit Awards as Best Revival Recording.

For three consecutive years, he received nominations from the Awit Awards. In 1993, his song “Mahal Kita, Walang Iba” from the album A Step Ahead won him the Best Performance by a Male Recording Artist.

The next year, he got the same recognition for “Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang.” In 1995, his song “Bakit Ka Lumayo” received the Best Produced Record of the Year.

In 1997, he revived Boyfriends’ hit “Salawahan” and it once again landed on the No. 1 charts. Ogie reached one of the major highlights in his career in 1999 when he celebrated his 10th year in the showbiz industry.

He released a Greatest Hits compilation CD that soon went Gold and performed a success concert at the Music Museum.

Year after year, Ogie has created quality projects. In 1999, he signed with MCA Universal, releasing an album entitled Now and Then, composed of revival and original cuts. The album went gold, and the song “Kung Mawawala Ka” was a hit single. He won several awards for all his efforts, including Awit Awards for Song of the Year and Best Ballad Recording.

The years that followed spelled more awards for Ogie, especially for his composition “Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw.” He proved to be one of the best songwriters through his album entitled A Better Man, on which 11 of the 12 cuts are his original compositions. Two songs from this album have already become huge hits, “Ikaw Sana” and “Hanggang Ngayon” (a duet with Regine Velasquez).

After the success of his sold-out concert at the Araneta Coliseum October 4, 2002, he recorded an album entitled OA Sa Hits Live. In 2003, he released the album Mga Kuwento ng Pag-ibig, which achieved a Double Platinum Record Award. This was followed by more albums, such as I Am a Singer, Lumilipad, and Greatest Hits: An Audio-Visual Anthology, which went Platinum. In 2006, Ogie founded his own record label, IndiMusic. From 2007 to the present, Ogie has been one of the most prolific songwriters and in demand performers of the Philippines.

Truly, Ogie Alcasid is one of the country’s prides. He is a Jack-of-all-trades who doesn’t only excel in the music industry; he’s making his presence known in the acting industry as well, with nearly 40 films to date on his record.

He has appeared on TV shows such as the very popular Bubble Gang and Party Pilipinas. He’s a comedian, a stage performer, a dramatic actor, and most of all, a singer, composer, and songwriter. He is behind the fame of many known singers as well. He’s very generous in writing songs for most of the country’s main artists.

Regine Velasquez, “Asia’s Songbird” and Ogie’s “better half,” has performed many songs written by Ogie. There’s nothing anyone like Ogie Alcasid can ask for; he has a career that continues to stay at the top.

DESSA is the long-recognized “Divette” of the Philippine music industry, the petite diva whose remarkable performance made her a star as she bagged the 1993 Federation

Internationale Des Organisations de Festivals (FIDOF) award in Russia. The advocate of Filipino artists in international singing competitions, she has nevertheless earned recognition as she makes her countrymen proud by bringing more international awards, such as the Saga Yoshinogari Festa ’98, the Asian music festival held in Saga, Japan, and the “Best Interpreter Award” in the 1999 Asia Song Festival in Malaysia.

The powerful voice that echoes in concert venues, studios, lounges, and most places where music aficionados gather has also given her to the title of “The Front-Act Queen,” where performances of international artists such as Patti Austin, Color Me Badd, Mike Francis, Denise Williams, David Benoit, Richard Elliot, Bryan Adams, Lisa Stansfield, and Cece Peniston have been graced by this young diva. Aside from her regular performances and special invitations for corporate events, she has also invaded theater as she performs in numerous musical acts, such as the Valentine musical entitled Something Stupid Called Love, held at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Dessa also performed the Philippine National Anthem in the recently held Manny Pacquiao vs. Hector Velazquez fight for the 19,000 capacity crowd at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

Dessa continues to make waves with her local achievements. With her capability to carry out diversified music in her unique and notable interpretation, there is no doubt that mounting a full performance would be easy. As she started at a young age, she has reaped the fruit of her patience and love for her craft to stand out and create a name that she would be known for. This young achiever has never stopped exploring her talents, true to her vision. Every day is a challenge and each opportunity deserves the greatest devotion.

In a review written about BECCA GODINEZ following a Christian concert, the writer said, “Becca Godinez’ wonderful concert …touched the hearts of many people.

Her warmth, humility, wit, sense of humor, and genuine love for people endeared her to many.”

Years ago, Becca was told that she fell under the heading of “total artist.” She is a singer, songwriter, actress, director, and producer. For these, she has earned two gold records, several awards and distinctions, and has traveled to many parts of the world to perform. In 2010 Becca spent time in a recording studio in Los Angeles working on a Christmas CD. She said that it was wonderful recording and singing carols in August. She was able to fulfill her dream of writing a Christmas song after years of trying. “The words fell into place and the

Currently, Becca is recording another CD of original compositions and will be returning to her thespian roots. Although blessed as an artist in the diverse milieu of the performing arts, Becca’s deepest love is centered in Christian music. It is in her walk with the Lord that she finds true meaning, purpose, and unfathomable peace. She says, “I love the stage, I enjoy performing, and when I stand in the spotlight, I am grateful for it. Yet, what shines into each person’s life in that hall should always be God’s light. My hope is that I may ever be counted a worthy vessel.”

result is the song, ‘The Meaning’ – which speaks of the true reason for the season.” I worked with an amazingly talented arranger/ producer, Yong Nalasa, who is gifted with an ear for beautiful chords. He hears arrangements that are not the “usual” – and best of all, we collaborated well, agreeing to musical ideas as though we had known each other for ages.

Becca took a reprieve and traveled to Italy to work on a CD project of her ex-husband, Morris “Feelings” Albert. There was a lot to do in a short time frame, but it was also the first time that Morris and Becca worked on a project with their daughter, Natasha. The opportunity to collaborate not just as a family, but also as artists, was beyond expectation – a true gift.

Returning to Los Angeles, Becca put the final touches to her Christmas CD, then left for a series of appearances and shows in the Philippines. She hit the ground running – performing, ministering, and appearing on TV and in various shows and ministries there. While in Manila, Becca was also invited to return to the legitimate stage, something she walked away from years ago. With newfound excitement, she is seriously considering the offer. A recent highlight was Becca’s nomination and ensuing award to the Trimedia Hall of Fame, not just for her work as an artist but for her humanitarian work, which she continues to this day. She was also blessed with the opportunity to sing at Catalina Jazz Grill, where a group of artists performed to raise funds for the victims of a typhoon that left many in her country homeless.

HARANA KINGS is the result of Florante Aguilar’s search for master haranistas, as chronicled in the documentary film Harana.

They represent the truest practitioners of the

vanished custom of serenading. Between 40 and 50 years ago, they were witnesses to and active participants in this once-popular Filipino courtship tradition. Their services were so highly sought after that fifteen serenades in a single night was a common affair in their respective provinces.

One of Aguilar’s fondest memories of his boyhood was playing octavina and guitar in a rondalla ensemble led by his neighbor’s gardener. Francisco or Ti Ikong, a septuagenarian at the time, was a virtuoso of the banduria and octavina, and had kept his band of equally virtuosic (and equally vintage) rondalla players. At the age of 9, Florante found himself jamming with the most authentic and experi-

enced practitioners of rondalla music, as well as the art of harana. The harana, though the name of this particular musical style, also refers to the traditional practice of courtship itself, whereby a maiden is serenaded beneath her window at night.

Men with lesser singing abilities often sought the assistance of master haranistas, who were familiar with the many songs that were sung in various stages of courtship. The Panawagan (sometimes called Pamanhikan) were a subset of songs that were sung outside the window respectfully, announcing their presence. The Pagtatapat (proposal) were songs sung once they were let in the house. These songs were often declarations of love and/or admiration for the subject. This stage also encourages the woman to respond through her own song.

Men sometimes hung by a thread, waiting for the song with which a woman chose to respond, to find out whether it was reciprocal, unrequited, or simply playful. The visit always ended with a subset of songs called Pamaalam (goodbye).

Although the practice has since died out, the music survives, preserved and even elevated to an art form worthy of a concert piece. Florante Aguilar champions Philippine music, not only through solo guitar, but with singers and ensembles performing throughout the United States.

Born in 1934, Felipe Alonzo hails from Bantay, Ilocos Sur. He is well known in his community and is often seen performing around the city of Vigan during Christmas and town fiestas. He learned many of the songs when he was growing up performing in sarswelas, which he refers to as entablados – live comic operettas performed in the town plaza. In 1974, Alonzo, who is a self-taught guitarist, recorded Ilocano haranas for Villar Records.

Born 1946 in Maragondon, Cavite, Romeo Bergunio recently won first place in a harana-singing contest for seniors in his hometown. He learned from his father and grandfather many old and unknown songs not often heard on the radio, thus preserving the songs completely through oral tradition. He specializes in kundiman songs, both in their rudimentary form as well as in the more formalized structure championed by Philippine composers such as Nicanor Abelardo.

Celestino Aniel was born in 1946 in the

town of Naic, Cavite. Aniel learned many popular songs through the radio and recordings from the 1950s to the 1970s, such as those of Ruben Tagalog, Larry Miranda, Ric Manrique, Jr., and Cenon Lagman. Aniel’s singing style is also a nod to popular crooners such as Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and Perry Como, a style that was adopted and incorporated into harana during American occupation in the 1940s. Aniel is often seen singing around his hometown for friends and small gatherings.

Critically acclaimed classical guitarist FLORANTE AGUILAR is considered one of the leading proponents of Philippine harana music in America today. He is comfortable playing traditional Western classical music as a virtuoso, and also ventures into contemporary music and other genres with ease.

But his true love and affinity belongs to the bygone-era music he grew up with in the Philippines: the harana. Florante has been chosen by the San Francisco Arts Commission to create and compose brand new works: Lalawigan – A Tagalog Song Cycle, and Aswang – Tales of Philippine Lore.

Born in Manila, Florante grew up in the Cavite province, where he learned to play the octavina in a rondalla group. At an early age, he picked up the guitar by way of rock and roll and by sixteen was enrolled at the University of the Philippines College of Music, where he was trained as a classical musician. In 1985, Florante toured Europe, the United States, and Asia for 6 1/2 months, performing in major cities both as a soloist and ensemble player. Later, he moved to New York to study under scholarship at the Manhattan School of Music with Sharon Isbin, Grammywinner and current guitar department chair of the Juilliard School. Florante also studied with internationally recognized Filipino guitarist and conductor Michael Dadap, and has performed in master classes of guitar luminaries such as David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, David Starobin, Frederic Hand, and Benjamin Verdery. Florante later accepted a position with the pioneering Buffalo Guitar Quartet, where he toured and recorded the critically acclaimed CD New Music for Four Guitars (New World Records). Florante received his Bachelor of Music Degree at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 1996 under the tutelage of David Tanenbaum.

VANESSA HUDGENS began her career in the world of musical theater at the tender age of 8. Immediately realizing the incredible future that lay before her, she has tirelessly

pursued her dream with much success. These early roles – in such productions as Evita, Carousel, The Wizard of Oz, The King & I, The Music Man, Cinderella, and Damn Yankees – gave Vanessa the opportunity to showcase her impressive singing and acting skills.

The recognition Vanessa received quickly brought her to the screen. She made her feature film debut in Catherine Hardwicke’s Thirteen, starring Holly Hunter and Evan Rachel Wood. Soon thereafter, she co-starred in the action-adventure film Thunderbirds and was a recurring guest star on Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zach & Cody. Her other television credits include appearances on Quintuplets, Brothers Garcia, Still Standing, and Robbery Homicide Division.

It was, however, Vanessa’s role in Disney Channel’s breakaway sensation High School Musical that has garnered her much praise and attention. She played Gabrielle Montez, the sweet girl torn between her attraction

to both basketball jock Troy Bolton and the school musical auditions. With critics and fans clamoring for more, Vanessa was also seen in the film’s highly successful followups: High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year. Vanessa followed up her High School Musical hits by starring in Bandslam, a film centered around a high school misfit and a popular girl who form an unlikely bond through their love for music.

In 2010, she starred in CBS Films’ Beastly, a modern-day take on the fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast,” and Zack Snyder’s highly anticipated Sucker Punch, for Warner Bros.

In August of that same year, she made her Hollywood Bowl debut in the musical Rent.

Although acting has consumed much of her time, Vanessa still has been able to devote herself to singing and performing. In 2006 she released her debut solo album V – a captivating variety of rock, electronic and R&B styles – and toured with the Cheetah Girls. She followed up in 2008 with her second album for Hollywood Records, called Identified.

Hudgens resides in Los Angeles.

From filling clubs across the nation to being seen weekly as a regular guest on Chelsea Lately, JO KOY has come a long way from his modest start performing at a Las

The New York Times gracefully calls them, “The most visible yet invisible pop figures in the entire world.” Known all over the world as LEGACI, these four gentlemen have been

Vegas coffee house. His infectiously explosive energy on stage, insightful jokes, and family inspired humor cross all boundaries and led Daily Variety to name him one of the “10 Comics to Watch.”

Born in Tacoma, Washington, Jo credits his mother for his comedic and acting talents.

Growing up, his mother constantly encouraged him to take part in school talent shows or present impromptu performances for his family and friends. This encouragement led to the Las Vegas coffee house, then a move to Los Angeles, and finally a performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2005. He became one of a select few to ever receive a standing ovation on the show.

Since his Tonight Show performance, Jo was part of Carlos Mencia’s “Punisher Tour” in 2006. He has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Call with Carson Daly, BET’s Comic View, Jamie Foxx Presents: Laffapalooza, and appeared in various VH1 I Love the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s episodes. His Comedy Central special Don’t Make Him Angry aired in January 2009

wowing audiences with their harmonies and vocal acrobatics. Micah, Jason, Chris, and Del all hail from the San Francisco Bay Area and for years shared a passion to make music that moves people; and move people they did.

With over 25 million views and counting, it was Legaci’s YouTube channel and their cover of Justin Bieber’s smash hit “Baby” that got the attention of Bieber and his manager, Scooter Braun. Legaci was asked to tour with Justin as his official backing group. They accepted, and since then they have traveled exclusively with Bieber, singing for millions of anxious fans in 22 different countries around the world. During the middle of every concert, Justin introduces Legaci to his audience and has them perform their own mix of a cappella pop melodies. Giving them the spotlight each night, Justin has Legaci appear center stage, where they show the screaming crowds that they are not just ordinary backup singers. Since their start with Bieber, Legaci has performed their medley for more than 130 of his shows.

Legaci’s fame has been steadily rising.

With over 140,000 subscriptions, Legaci is recognized as one of the most popular singing groups on all of YouTube. As a social networking phenomenon, Legaci maintains over 40,000 “likes” on Facebook and over 120,000 combined followers on Twitter.

Legaci has been no stranger to major media outlets, sharing the stage with Bieber on shows such as The Oprah Show, Saturday Night Live, The View, The Tonight Show with David Letterman, and The Late Show with Conan O’Brien. They were also chosen to accompany Bieber for Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards, The American Music Awards, and the MTV’s Video Music Awards in 2010. Continuing with Bieber throughout 2011, they performed for shows such as Dancing with the Stars, The Today Show, The European Music Awards, The Rockefeller Tree Lighting Special, The Disney Christmas Parade, and most recently for the President of the United States for Christmas in Washington, D.C. They are also a part of the cast in Bieber’s hour-long special, This is Justin Bieber, as well as the movie box office smash Never Say Never 3D, where they performed with Boyz II Men, Miley Cyrus, and Usher.

After two years of being on the road with Justin Bieber for the My World Tour, Legaci finally released their debut single, entitled All Day, with a full-length album that debuted in the spring of 2012.

MARTIN RAMON RAZON NIEVERA is a singer, songwriter, and actor from the Philippines. Currently, he is one of the main hosts of the musical variety show ASAP ROCKS, which is aired daily/weekly on ABS-CBN. Along with twin sister Victoria, Martin was born on February 5, 1962, in Manila, Philippines to Bert Nievera and Conchita Razon. Most of his childhood was spent in Hawaii, where his father sang with the group known as The Society of Seven. The Nievera family then took up residence in the Bay Area in California in the late ’70s. Martin graduated from Clayton Valley High School (Concord, California) in 1980.

He was previously married to singeractress Pops Fernandez, with whom he has two sons, Robin and Ram Nievera. Martin P28

PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE

has another son, Santino Martin Nievera, from his current relationship.

Inspired by his father’s talent and success, Martin returned to the Philippines in 1982 to begin his own singing career and by June of the same year released his first LP, Martin...Take One. The album achieved platinum status in just five months, which was quite a feat for a newcomer in the industry.

Martin then began co-hosting the TV variety show Penthouse Live! with Pops Fernandez, then the Philippines’ “Concert Queen,” who would later become his wife.

His second LP, The Best Gift, which was produced in 1984, also reached platinum status. In 1987, Penthouse Live! was renamed Martin and Pops Twogether, in celebration of their marriage.

Alas, the marriage failed in 1998, and for the sole purpose of winning back his wife, Martin wrote and recorded a song he named “Forever.” The song quickly achieved Double Platinum in January, moved up to Triple Platinum in May, and later soared to Quadruple status. Even though he failed in his

quest for reconciliation, Martin and his music were warmly embraced by his adoring public, and “Forever” has become an all-time bestseller. The two sequels, “Forever Forever” (Platinum in June, Double Platinum in August, and Triple Platinum in December 1999) and “Return to Forever,” also talk about the split.

Martin’s success in the field of music carried over to his career as an actor. He has appeared or starred in eleven movies and seven television series and specials. Martin After Dark, his television show on the GMA Network, which lasted for almost a decade (1988 – 1998), won Best Celebrity Talk Show and garnered for him Star Awards’ Best Celebrity Talk Show Host consecutively from 1989 to 1991 and then again in 1993, 1994, and 1996.

In 2006, the Aliw Awards Foundation Hall of Fame distinguished Martin as Entertainer of the Year and Recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Honolulu Adviser likewise named him Best Male Singer and Star of the Year in 1988. He also won at the Abu Golden Kite Awards in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as Best Interpreter for a Composition in 1990.

His transfer to the ABS-CBN network in 1998 to 2002 gave the public Martin Late@Nite as well as a television show with Gary Valenciano in July 2010, Twist & Shout. Martin’s film credits include dramas, romance, science fiction, comedy, and action.

Martin had his 25th anniversary series of shows in September 2007 at the Captain’s Bar of the Mandarin Hotel in Makati, and marked a major anniversary solo SRO concert at the Big Dome, Araneta Coliseum billed aptly as “Martin Nievera XXV.” He appeared with Hawaii’s Society of Seven and Lani Misalucha at the Flamingo Las Vegas from February 13 through April 13, 2008 and performed a pre-Valentine/post-birthday concert with Pops Fernandez entitled “Missing You” on February 6, 2009 at the Araneta Coliseum.

In August 2009, Martin Nievera and Gary Valenciano had their first concert together, entitled “AS 1.” Later, the duo collaborated on an album. AS 1 toured the U.S., Canada, and the Middle East from 2009 to 2011. AS 1 was followed by another back-to-back concert with Sarah Geronimo in February 2011 and Side A in November 2011, both major concerts in the Araneta Coliseum.

HBOWL_PROG_WK1.f_PerformancesHB11 6/7/12 2:46 PM Page P29

In 2012, Martin shared the concert scene with the Philippines’ mega-star Sharon Cuneta at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and in Cebu for a Valentine show billed as “Once in a Lifetime.” He premiered his newest reality show on ABS-CBN in June 2012.

JEREMY PASSION is a 25-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer from San Francisco, CA. Known as one of the pioneers of R&B/Soul acoustic music on the internet, Passion has

Passion released his first full-length album in December, as well as a brand-new EP.

In its 8th year, PHILIPPINE CHAMBER SINGERS – LOS ANGELES (PCS – LA) continues to make its mark within the community with its dynamic, diverse, and decorated group of Filipino singers. Founded in 2004 by a group of friends from different choral backgrounds from the Philippines, PCS – LA has now grown to include their secondgeneration Filipino-American counterparts who have been introduced to the caliber of choral singing deeply rooted in the Filipino culture. From their humble beginnings of

Christmas caroling and performing at local weddings and funerals, this small circle of friends has blossomed into a tight-knit and talented ensemble bonded by their passion for choral singing. PCS – LA remains humble in accomplishing their aim, which is to promote the Philippine culture through music. PCS – LA continues to represent the Filipino-American community by participating in notable community events, such as the LA Phil’s Bienvenido Gustavo! at the Hollywood Bowl and The Mahler Project’s “Symphony of the Thousand” at the Shrine Auditorium. Under the Artistic Direction of Gelo Francisco (founder) and Emmanuel Miranda (resident conductor), PCS – LA hones its own members as effective choral musicians. It also prides itself in participating and leading countless community outreach events; a realization of one aspect of its mission vision has been the invitation of some 20 male community-choir singers from all over Southern California to join this historic event at the Bowl.

While making small splashes, PCS – LA continues to grow, making waves from one end of the Pacific to the other, from the Philippines to the U.S.; upholding the Filipino culture through choral music; making waves in the community to support the community’s initiatives; and making musical “waves” in pursuing its purpose of maintaining the choral art and bringing it to the widest audience possible.

HBOWL_PROG_WK1.f_PerformancesHB11 6/7/12 2:46 PM Page P31

After Sandwich’s record deal with BMG expired, the band continued to make music independently. In 2003, Sandwich began recording their third album Thanks to the Moon’s Gravitational Pull, and released it in January 2004. A few months later, vocalist Marc Abaya decided to focus on a different career path and left the band. Guitarist Raymund Marasigan took over the vocals and to strengthen their sound, they asked Mong (guitars), who had jammed with them for some time, to formally become a member of the band, thus leading to the present lineup.

More than a year after working as an indie band, Sandwich was signed by another major label (EMI Music) in 2006. The booming music industry soon witnessed the redefinition of OPM Rock as the new material of Sandwich was released on their fourth album, Five on the Floor in February 2006.

If you’ve ever dined at a mom-and-pop Italian restaurant, you’ve no doubt experienced the pleasure of sipping wine from a jelly jar.

It’s not always about the wine. Sometimes, it’s the experience – in this case, a rustic, old-world experience.

For sheer elegance, on the other hand, it’s hard to beat sipping Champagne from a delicate crystal flute.

The experience can be everything when it comes to wine, elevating what’s in the glass if the experience is positive, or destroying the wine if the experience strikes an off note.

Here are three simple things anyone can do to take the wine-tasting experience to another level: • “Season” the wine glasses. I learned this trick on one of my early trips to Italy.

Stemware, no matter how carefully stored, can pick up off-putting aromas from the kitchen or pantry. There is no way to detect these odd smells unless you poke your nose into each glass, which might annoy friends and family gathered around the dinner table.

To solve this problem without resorting to the time-consuming practice of polishing the crystal before the company arrives, simply pour a splash of wine into one glass and give

• When serving fine Champagne or aboveaverage domestic sparkling wine, avoid using Champagne flutes, no matter how elegant you think they are. Better bubblies have subtle aromas and textures that are utterly lost when served in a flute-shaped glass.

The more common practice in the Champagne region today is to serve the better bubblies in a white wine glass, which allows for swirling, which will accentuate and bring up the flavors and aromas that would be missed in a traditional flute.

If you’re not sure about this, try serving a good bottle of Champagne both ways. You might be surprised at how full and rich the bouquet is on a glass of Champagne that has been liberated from the straightjacket of the Champagne flute.

• Take care to serve your wine at the proper temperature. White wines need not be ice cold, and red wines need not be “room temperature,” particularly if the room happens to be 70 degrees or above.

White wines such as Chardonnay or Rhone blends are more expressive when served cool rather than cold. Red wines, too. Warm red wine can be flat, tannic, alcoholic, bitter, or all of the above. A few minutes in an ice bucket will make a world of difference, particularly with lighter reds such as Beaujolais, Chianti, or Dolcetto.

Of course, if all you can muster from the pantry is a jelly jar and a bit of wine from a box, that’s OK, too. It’s just a different experience.

– Robert Whitley

GO METRO Despite what you may have heard, you can get to many Los Angeles attractions without a car. Metro is the nation’s second-largest public transportation agency, operating 2,200 buses and six rail lines, including a subway that can take you from downtown to Hollywood in about 15 minutes.

Whether you’re interested in seeing stars along the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame, catching rays at Santa Monica Beach or touring any number of L.A. landmarks, Metro can take you there.

Where to Start

Use the Trip Planner at metro.net or call 323.GO.METRO for customized travel itineraries.

Note that some popular attractions served by Metro Rail are listed to the right.

Fares

Metro’s base fare is $1.50. Pay each time you board a Metro bus (drivers don’t carry change, so you’ll need exact fare) or at a self-service ticket vending machine when entering Metro Rail stations.

For complete information, check metro.net.

Two children under the age of 5 may travel free with each fare-paying adult.

Eating and drinking is not permitted on any Metro bus or train.

Note: Metro has installed turnstiles at many Metro Rail stations; others simply operate on the honor system. However, fare inspectors randomly check passengers for valid tickets or passes. You may never be checked, but if you are and you don’t have proof of valid fare, the inspector may issue a citation and you may be fined.

Hours

Most bus and rail lines start around 4 a.m. and keep running past midnight. But they’re less frequent in the late evening, so check the timetables at metro.net regarding your return trip.

This collection is only $45.

Chris Delamarter, music buyer for The Bowl Store and the LA Phil Store, says of these CDs, “They’re tons of fun! My personal favorite is the Rodgers and Hammerstein collection, because I’ve always been a big fan of their music and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra plays the overtures so well. If I need something to make me feel good, that’s a CD I can turn to, and it will help almost immediately!”

Quantities are limited on these titles, so patrons are encouraged to get theirs soon.

When they’re gone, they’re gone!
