Good day lovely jazz fans. The ladies of JazzEast love concert time, especially when we are selling Really well. Do not snooze, my friends.

*At the Harry Manx concert, we are going to have 5 LURKING FIGURES observing our concerted efforts, looking to see how we can make your experience even better. They are members of a super team from the Management Without Borders program at Dalhousie University. Masters students from different disciplines (in our case business administration, library & information science and public administration) choose a client and then form a team to work on a project. JazzEast is concerned with data collection, of understanding your whims and wishes in order to up our game. After our meeting with the MWB experts on Tuesday, I am sure we got the good ones. Be kind to them and try to look your best.

02. HARRY MANX – ONE NIGHT SOLO PERFORMANCE
----------------------------------------------------------------------

MANX IS POPULAR WITH THE MEDIA.

Did you see the article in the HERALD today? Stephen Cooke penned his magic once again and sketched for us a clearer picture of our blues-roots-raga-man. He sounds super friendly and on the path of the Buddha. The world is a nice looking place with Manx eyes. Most of the article talks about the new album, which is on sale at the show, but only once does MR. Cooke mention JazzEast, at the end with the ticket information (tsk, tsk). It is a good thing we are a confident association and that the Herald had already listed the event under Arts in Brief with our name all over it.

Tomorrow, show-day Thursday, Stephanie Domet is adding her colours to the Manx portrait. During MAINSTREET (3-5pm), Harry Manx is sitting in the CBC Halifax studio and chatting about his album and concerts. I am very curious to hear what else he has to say.

MANX ANECDOTES - FROM CUTIES IN OUR COMMUNITY

*A member and music lover Merle Lister was in the office today. She had a good tale to tell. A friend of hers drove all the way to Moncton to see Manx because she was not going to be in Halifax for our concert. That is love and dedication, man. Our community is the best.
*A dear member and uber jazz fan called today to see if we think he should see Manx. He said that money is tight but Everyone is talking about the concert. He was torn between the not liking blues-folk music and not wanting to miss out. We told him that it is not a jazz show, but that Manx is a master guitar player and is known to be an engaging performer. After some hesitation, he said that sometimes you need to branch out and see something different. We whole-heartedly agree.
*Sarah's father and brother have been taking guitar lessons together. Instead of lessons this week, the two students and their teacher are taking in the beauty that is Harry Manx. The picture they will make is a little too adorable.

SHOULD YOU WAIT TO BUY AT THE DOOR?

The concert is selling very well, yet there are still some tickets left. If you leave it last minute, come down early. The doors open at 7:30 PM. If you are a member (or want to become one), remember you can buy directly from the JazzEast office until 5:00 PM.

HARRY MANX
blues / folk / world
"Mysticssippi" blues man Harry Manx has been called an "essential link" between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. He has created a unique sound that is hard to forget and deliciously addictive to listen to. Blending Indian folk melodies with blues, a sprinkle of gospel, and compelling grooves, Manx's "mysticssippi" flavour is hard to resist, easy to digest and keeps audiences coming back for more.

RENOWNED FLAMENCO GUITARIST JUAN MARTÍN TO PERFORM AT ST. MATTHEW’S CHURCH IN HALIFAX, OCTOBER 8

Celebrated flamenco guitar virtuoso Juan Martín will return to Halifax to perform with a traditional Spanish singer and dancer at St. Matthew’s Church (1479 Barrington St.) on Thursday, October 8 at 8 p.m.

Voted one of the top three guitarists in the world by Guitar Player magazine, Martín is an accomplished musician. He has 20 albums to his credit and a multitude of books and DVDs. Martín’s flamenco method book, El Arte Flamenco de la Guitarra, is studied by music students across the globe and his videos are among the best selling guitar instruction videos in the world. He played for Picasso at his 90th birthday party, has been joined onstage by legendary musicians such as Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and Stevie Ray Vaughan and was the first flamenco artist to perform with London’s Philharmonic Orchestra.
His latest album, Rumbas Originales features 16 of Martín’s original compositions from throughout his career. For over 20 years, Martín has been introducing audiences around the world to his one-of-a-kind style of flamenco. Spanish newspaper El Mundo said, “He has a terrifyingly good technique and an absolute dominance of the guitar, filling the concert hall with crystalline clarity.” The London Times said “he is a giant in the flamenco guitar tradition.” “In Martín’s hands flamenco is not so much a musical style as an entire culture compressed into a quivering box of air”, said The Guardian, UK.
Tickets are $27.50 in advance and $32.50 day of show (including tax) and are available at all Ticketpro outlets, by phone at 1-888-311-9090 and online at www.sonicconcerts.com. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

ISRAELI BASSIST AND COMPOSER HAGGAI COHEN MILO BRINGS HIS SECRET MUSIC PROJECT BACK TO HALIFAX AND THE ACOUSTICALLY IMMACULATE SONIC TEMPLE

"Haggai Cohen Milo revealed over a set of ridiculously infectious music that he's in the soul restoration business!" (Graham Pilsworth, "The Coast", Canada). Halifax, NS – The Secret Music Project made its Canadian debut during the Atlantic Jazz Festival this past July and will return to Halifax to record its debut full-length album in front of a live audience at the beautiful and acoustically immaculate Sonic Temple on October 22, 23 and 25. Formed in 2006 by bassist and composer Haggai Cohen Milo, the group has performed internationally at various festivals and high profile venues, such as the Aspen Jazz Festival (Colorado), Atlantic Jazz Festival (Halifax) and First Night Festival (Boston). The band members have been touring extensively on an international level, collaborating with prominent jazz and world music figures and receiving rave reviews and recognition from the New York Times, the Boston Globe, DownBeat Magazine and All About Jazz. The Secret Music Project plays middle-eastern jazz within a folk-oriented frame, relying heavily on the freedom of improvisation. Raised in different corners of the world, the band members have been influenced by a variety of lifestyles, cultures, and musical genres. With a bass player from Israel, a piano player from Spain, a percussionist from Colombia and a saxophonist from the U.S., the Secret Music Project embodies these distinctions and uses them to create a unique an innovative sound. The Secret Music Project conveys a message that is on one hand complex and intelligent and on the other hand deep and emotional. If you missed this group during the Atlantic Jazz Festival, ask anyone who had the opportunity to hear them live – the music is nothing short of beautiful and invigorating. Tickets are $25 and will be available at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased through JazzEast (902.492-0812) at 1313 Hollis St. (2nd floor). Seating is limited.

ANDREA REDMOND, Jazzed Up
September 2 - 30, 2009

The portraits for “Jazzed Up” were born of two loves: Music and reading. Redmond grew up listening to an eclectic body of music with the likes of her mothers piano playing of old war songs and her father’s affinity to his chest-vibrating record of bag pipes and drums. Among so many other record albums they heard Peter Gun, The Kingston Trio, The Tijuana Brass and Louis Armstrong. Her parents shared their love of music with the family, even though sometimes they seemed lost in each other when one of their favourites played. She loved it all and still does, but has a particular liking of Jazz music. Influenced not only by her families musical tastes, Redmonds' reading also inspired Jazzed up. Intrigued by the biography of Ethel Waters', Redmond was impressed by Ethel’s unconquerable faith, battling poverty and racial hatred to become one of the greatest performers of all time. Jazzed Up is a series of portraits of Jazz Artists. Not exclusively a portrait painter, Redmond has an affinity to painting faces. “The first thing I paint, and almost to the point of completion, are the eyes…they give the piece a heart and soul and only when I’m satisfied with them have I made a commitment to finish a face” Redmond states.
"When I painted Louis Armstrong, Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan I really liked “polishing the brass and polishing their cheeks”. The instruments are part of the men who played them. Before I painted the portrait, “Just Ethel”, I used her face to create the portrait “Rosetta Sings” because I wanted to put a face to a name after hearing the beautiful duet, “Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us." The body of work is completed with two ladies I could see hanging around the clubs; a young dance hall dancer named Sylvia and a beautiful being absorbed by music." Artist Biography: Andrea is an emerging, self-taught artist. Since 2007 she has shown work at Seaside Gallery at Shaw’s Landing, West Dover, Tantallon Library, Glen Artist Show and Sale in Glen Haven, as well as Group Shows-Cross Pollination at the Hydrostone Gallery, a juried Group Show at Art Sales and Rental and All Things Big and Small at Jo Beale Gallery, Peggy’s Cove. Presently, Andrea has works at Art Sales and Rental, Hollis St. and Jo Beale Gallery, Peggy’s Cove. Her paintings can be found in private collections across Canada and abroad. Andrea was raised in Glen Margaret, Nova Scotia, and continues to live in the community today. With an increased concern for the environment, she, and husband, live "off the grid” in a solar and wind powered home. They share their space with a menagerie of cats, dogs, chickens and goats. She notes that while painting calls for lots of imagination it doesn’t require much electricity. Redmond can be reached at reddythree@aol.com and her work can be viewed until September 30th at The Corridor Gallery or online at http://vans.ednet.ns.ca/artist_pages/aredmond.html. The Corridor Gallery is located at 1113 Marginal Road, Halifax, NS in the office of Visual Arts Nova Scotia and is open Monday through Friday 9am-5pm. Visual Arts Nova Scotia supports visual art and artists in Nova Scotia. For further information on the Corridor Gallery or this exhibition please contact Crystal (902) 423-4694 or vans@visualarts.ns.ca.
