DESCRIPTION:Myra Melford’s Fire and Water\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\n$35 MEMBER / $40 ADVANCE / $50 DAY OF \n\n\n\nTHIS IS A YOUTH ARTS PASS SHOW \n\n\n\nSEATED ROOM SHOW / ALL AGES \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINALLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT MYRA MELFORD’S FIRE AND WATER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGenre: JAZZ \n\n\n\nHailed by The New Yorker as “a stalwart of the new-jazz movement\,” the endlessly gifted pianist\, composer\, bandleader\, and educator Myra Melford comes to TACAW with her dynamic all-star Fire and Water Quintet. The quintet brings together Melford (composer/piano)\, Ingrid Laubrock (tenor and soprano saxophones)\, Mary Halvorson (electric guitar) and Tomeka Reid (cello)\, and rising star Lesley Mok (drums). Their critically acclaimed debut\, inspired by a set of drawings by the visual artist Cy Twombly\, For the Love of Fire and Water was released in April 2022 on the RogueArt label. A second album\, Hear the Light Singing\, adding “insertions” to the original suite\, written with each player’s unique musical personality in mind\, was released in October 2023 to immense critical acclaim. In the last three years\, the band has toured from Pori to San Sebastien to Austin to San Francisco and everywhere in between. \n\n\n\nMyra Melford’s Fire and Water\n\n\n\nMyra Melford \n\n\n\nThe Bay Area pianist Myra Melford—hard-angled counterpoint\, potent grooves\, free exploration\, intuitive interplay\, chamber-music elements and much more. Born in 1957 and raised near Chicago\, Melford’s early tutelage included both classical training and the Windy City blues and boogie-woogie she absorbed through her first piano teacher\, Erwin Helfer.  \n\n\n\nShe became introduced to jazz during college\, in Olympia\, Washington\, and later studied under Art Lande and Gary Peacock in Seattle before heading east\, first to Boston and then to New York. Once immersed in the city that nurtured Cecil Taylor\, Ornette Coleman and her other avant-jazz beacons\, she began making her own vital contributions to the burgeoning Downtown scene. In these formative years she participated in a workshop with AACM hero Leroy Jenkins\, studied piano with Jaki Byard and Don Pullen\, took composition lessons from Henry Threadgill and began a decade-long tenure in ensembles led by “Conduction” innovator Butch Morris. \n\n\n\nSince debuting on record as a bandleader in 1990\, she’s accrued a discography containing more than 20 albums as a leader or co-leader and boasting collaborations with creative-music luminaries like Dave Douglas\, Ben Goldberg\, Chris Speed\, Erik Friedlander\, Cuong Vu and Marty Ehrlich. Her working groups have acted as both singular\, self-contained units and larger statements of her always developing ideas about composition and improvisation. In her early trio with Lindsey Horner and Reggie Nicholson\, Melford established a searching\, democratic take on trio language that expanded in later groups like Equal Interest\, with Jenkins and Joseph Jarman; Trio M\, featuring Matt Wilson and Mark Dresser; and the freely improvising. A similarly all-embracing mission\, based in writing that is at once intricate and receptive to the whims of the ensemble\, has defined her quintets and sextets\, including the Same River\, Twice\, Be Bread and now Snowy Egret. \n\n\n\nAlong the way\, Melford has received some of the most prestigious honors in contemporary music\, including numerous Down Beat poll placings\, a 2012 Alpert Award in the Arts for Music and\, in 2013\, a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award. That same year\, she earned a Doris Duke Residency to Build Demand for the Arts\, during which she facilitated forward-looking programming at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. A 2000 Fulbright scholarship allowed Melford to study in North India for nine months\, a journey that informed the early music of Be Bread. In 2016\, Snowy Egret was named Midsize Ensemble of the Year in the Jazz Journalists Association’s annual Jazz Awards. whom the New Yorker called “a stalwart of the new-jazz movement”—has spent the last three decades making brilliant original music that is equally challenging and engaging. Over the years\, and inspired by extramusical sources like literature\, history and spirituality\, she’s explored an array of formats\, from ruminative solo-piano recitals to deeply interactive small groups\, ambitious multidisciplinary programs and even the swinging grandeur of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.  Her idiom-bending ingenuity—which has garnered Melford fans from the worlds of jazz\, contemporary classical and the avant-garde—has been a through line in her musical life. \n\n\n\nAn experienced educator as well\, Melford relocated to the Bay Area from New York in 2004 to join the music department at the University of California\, Berkeley. A Professor of Composition and Improvisational Practices for the Department of Music\, she continues to bring cutting-edge jazz and new music to the campus community via her teaching and as a guest curator for the Cal Performances organization. \n\n\n\nTomeka Reid \n\n\n\nDescribed as a “New Jazz Power Source” by the New York Times\, cellist and composer TOMEKA REID has emerged as one of the most original\, versatile\, and curious musicians in Chicago’s bustling jazz and improvised music community over the last decade. Her distinctive melodic sensibility\, always rooted in a strong sense of groove\, has been featured in many distinguished ensembles over the years. Reid released her debut recording as a bandleader in 2015\, with the Tomeka Reid Quartet\, a vibrant showcase for the cellist’s improvisational acumen as well as her dynamic arrangements and compositional ability. The quartet’s second album\, Old New\, released in Oct 2019 on Cuneiform Records\, has been described as “fresh and transformative—its songs striking out in bold\, lyrical directions with plenty of Reid’s singularly elegant yet energetic and sharp-edged bow work.” And\, most recently\, in April of 2024\, what has been considered Reid’s most adventurous Quartet recording to date is the highly acclaimed 3+3. \n\n\n\nA 2022 MacArthur Fellow and Herb Alpert Artist and 2021 USA Fellow\, Reid has received awards from the Foundation of the Arts (2019)\, 3Arts (2016) and received her doctorate in music from the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign in 2017. Reid has been a key member of ensembles led by legendary reedists like Anthony Braxton\, Roscoe Mitchell\, as well as a younger generation of visionaries including flutist Nicole Mitchell\, vocalist Dee Alexander\, and drummer Mike Reed. \n\n\n\nIn 2013\, she launched the first Chicago Jazz String Summit\, a semi-annual three-day international festival of cutting edge string players held in Chicago. From 2019 to 2021\, Tomeka Reid received a teaching appointment at Mills College as the Darius Milhaud Chair in Composition. \n\n\n\nMary Halvorson \n\n\n\nGuitarist\, composer and MacArthur fellow MaryHalvorson has been described as “a singular talent” (Lloyd Sachs\, JazzTimes)\, ”NYC’s least-predictable improviser” (Howard Mandel\, City Arts)\, “one of the most original jazz guitarists of our time” (Peter Margasak\, Bandcamp Daily)\, and “one of today’s most formidable bandleaders” (Francis Davis\, Village Voice). In recent Downbeat Critics Polls she has been celebrated as guitarist\, rising star jazz artist\, and rising star composer of the year. Halvorson’s most recent release\, Cloudward (Nonesuch Records\, 2024)\, features her Amaryllis sextet\, with Adam O’Farrill (trumpet)\, Jacob Garchik (trombone)\, Patricia Brennan (vibraphone)\, Nick Dunston (bass) and Tomas Fujiwara (drums)\, along with special guest Laurie Anderson (violin) on one track. In a 9/10 review by PopMatters’ Chris Ingalls\, the album was described as “a shimmering\, deeply satisfying example of a jazz sextet firing on all cylinders. Prepare to be astonished.” Halvorson is also part of several collaborative projects\, most notably the longstanding trio Thumbscrew\, with Michael Formanek on bass and Tomas Fujiwara on drums. Over the past two decades she has worked with such diverse musicians as Tim Berne\, Anthony Braxton\, Taylor Ho Bynum\, John Dieterich\, Trevor Dunn\, Bill Frisell\, Ingrid Laubrock\, Myra Melford\, Jason Moran\, Joe Morris\, Tom Rainey\, Jessica Pavone\, Tomeka Reid\, Marc Ribot\, Ches Smith and John Zorn. \n\n\n\nLesley Mok \n\n\n\nLesley Mok is a New York City-based percussionist and interdisciplinary artist who works in sound\, installation\, film\, and theater. Interested in the ways social conditions shape our beings\, Lesley’s work focuses on overacting humanness to explore ideas about alienness and privilege. Their work draws from queer and feminist art practices\, Chinese philosophy\, and Afro-Cuban musical traditions.  \n\n\n\nTheir ongoing explorations with composition and improvisation are most notably documented in their debut album The Living Collection (American Dreams Records\, 2023) that features a ten-piece improvising chamber ensemble. The album was named International Debut Album of the Year at the 2024 Deutscher Jazz Preis. Other recent works include stilled leaf-chatter (2022)\, bird in its chest (2022)\, pooling light (2021)\, but I forced to mind my vision of a sky (2020)\, and (2020). \n\n\n\nLesley is a recipient of the 2022 Resident Artist at Roulette Intermedium\, 2021 Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award\, Hermitage Fellow\, 2021 Van Lier Artist at the Asian American Arts Alliance\, and a member of the inaugural cohort of Mutual Mentorship for Musicians. Their work has been commissioned and performed by International Contemporary Ensemble\, Metropolis Ensemble\, and JACK Quartet.  \n\n\n\nAs a percussionist\, Lesley has performed alongside Tomeka Reid\, William Parker\, Ingrid Laubrock\, Halvorson\, Kenny Barron\, John Patitucci\, Cory Smythe\, Jen Shyu\, Kalia Vandever\, Fay Victor\, Adam O’Farrill\, and others. \n\n\n\nIngrid Laubrock \n\n\n\nIngrid Laubrock is an experimental saxophonist and composer\, interested in  exploring the borders between musical realms and creating multi-layered\, dense and  often evocative sound worlds.

Now they’re taking it on the road one last time. \n\n\n\nTOM PAXTON \n\n\n\nAfter 56 years of performing around the world and writing and recording innumerable songs and recordings\, Tom Paxton has found yet another outlet for his creativity; he has joined his friends and song-writing colleagues Jon Vezner and Don Henry––known collectively as The Don Juans––in a writing and performing experience calculated to keep them too busy to get into trouble. A trembling world awaits the results. \n\n\n\nTom’s career has taken him from his days as a drama student at The University of Oklahoma to thousands of concerts in a variety of venues––from coffee houses in Greenwich Village to The Albert Hall in London to Carnegie Hall in New York; from festivals in Hong Kong to Denmark\, from Tokyo to Oslo. \n\n\n\nHe has done over 50 concert tours of England\, Wales\, Scotland and Ireland and has recorded over 50 albums of his own songs. Recordings of his songs by other artists number in the hundreds and include artists such as Bob Dylan\, Johnny Cash\, Willie Nelson\, Dolly Parton\, Judy Collins\, John Denver\, Joan Baez and Peter\, Paul & Mary\, to name just a very few. \n\n\n\nHe began his performing career in Greenwich Village in 1960\, coming in on weekends from Fort Dix\, New Jersey\, where he was toiling away in the Clerk Typist School. (He used his typewriter one day to compose his famous song for children\, The Marvelous Toy\, later a hit for The Chad Mitchell Trio and Peter\, Paul & Mary). Upon his release he stayed in New York and put in several years playing in now-legendary coffee houses like The Gaslight and befriending other singers like Dave Van Ronk (The Mayor of Macdougal Street)\, Bob Dylan\, Phil Ochs and Eric Andersen. \n\n\n\nHis shows with The Don Juans have him on his toes\, he says; “These guys are long-ball hitters and if I don’t want to get smoked I’d better do a little rehearsing. I probably need to do that anyway\,” he says\, laughing. “It certainly couldn’t hurt.” \n\n\n\n“Thirty years ago Tom Paxton taught a generation of traditional folksingers that it was noble to write your own songs\, and\, like a good guitar\, he just gets better with age.” -Guy Clark \n\n\n\nJON VEZNER \n\n\n\nGrammy award-winning songwriter\, Nashville-based Jon Vezner is a tunesmith of rare sensitivity and dry wit. His catalogue of recorded songs\, topped by the poignant “Where’ve You Been\,” reflects his straight-to-the-heart sensibility and emotional awareness. Vezner weaves the particulars of his own feelings with the lives of people he has known into universal themes that deeply touch listeners’ emotions. \n\n\n\nVezner was honored with a Grammy for “Best Country Song” and the Nashville Songwriters Association “Song of the Year” in 1990\, for “Where’ve You Been” — the true story of Vezner’s grandparents — co-written with Don Henry\, and recorded by Kathy Mattea. “Where’ve You Been” was also honored as “Song of the Year” by the Country Music Association (CMA) and the Academy of Country Music (ACM). Jon was also voted “Songwriter of the Year” by the Nashville Songwriters Association International. \n\n\n\nBorn in Minnesota\, Jon Vezner began his musical career as lead singer and bassist for various groups in high school\, going on to earn a B.A. degree in music education and music theory at Minnesota Southwest State University in the mid ′70s. \n\n\n\nJon’s catalogue of songs reads like a songbook itself\, interpreted and recorded by some of the greats in the business such as Martina McBride\, Reba McEntire\, Faith Hill\, Steve Wariner\, The Wiggins\, Clay Walker\, Diamond Rio\, BJ Thomas\, Janis Ian\, John Mellencamp\, Nancy Griffith\, Judy Collins\, and Native American recording artist\, Bill Miller\, to name a few. \n\n\n\nJon’s production credits include artists such as Danny O’Keefe\, Victoria Shaw\, and singing legend Patti Page. \n\n\n\n“Jon Vezner writes about the details\, the details of our hearts and feelings. His gift is in speaking to these ordinary things which connect us to one another. And in recognizing their simple beauty\, he transforms them into something extraordinary.” — Mary-Chapin Carpenter \n\n\n\nDON HENRY \n\n\n\nIn Morgan Hill\, California in the early 70’s\, records like “The Band” by The Band and “Honky Chateau” by Elton John prompted Don Henry to begin writing his own lyrics to Jim Croce melodies. Then he learned to play guitar with a Paul Simon songbook. After that it was an education in The Beatles\, Cat Stevens\, Harry Nilsson\, Carole King\, Cat Stevens\, and Joni Mitchell. \n\n\n\nThen Randy Newman’s ‘Good Old Boys’ and ‘Old Number One’ by Guy Clark changed his life. In April of 1979\, at 19\, Don made his way to Nashville. \n\n\n\nAfter spending 4 years as the tape copy/librarian for Tree Publishing Company\, cataloging some of the best songs by some of the best songwriters in Nashville (Sonny Throckmorton\, Bobby Braddock\, Harlan Howard\, and Curly Putman)\, Don’s own songs started getting recorded and he was moved to full-time staff songwriter. Ray Charles\, Conway Twitty\, the Oak Ridge Boys\, T.G. Sheppard\, John Conlee and Kathy Mattea are just a few who recorded Don’s songs during this period. \n\n\n\nIn 1990\, Don and Jon Vezner received song of the year awards for co-writing Mattea’s critically acclaimed hit\, “Where’ve You Been”. Awards from the Grammys\, as well as from the Academy of Country Music\, the Country Music Association\, and the Nashville Songwriters Association International culminated it “Where’ve You Been” becoming the first song ever to be so honored by all four organizations. \n\n\n\nIn 1991 “Wild In The Backyard” was released on Sony/Epic Records. Billboard’s Ken Schlager chose the debut album as one of 1991’s Top Ten records\, as did Larry McClain of BAM magazine. Rolling Stone liked it enough to profile Don in their “New Faces” column. \n\n\n\nSince\, Don’s songs have been recorded by Lonestar\, Rosie Flores\, The Thompson Brothers Band\, Bryan White\, and Blake Shelton. A 2001 release\, “Flowers and Rockets”\, was followed quickly by “Live At The Bluebird Café”. \n\n\n\nIn 2013 Miranda Lambert had a hit with Don and Phillip Coleman’s song “All Kinds Of Kinds”. \n\n\n\nAt Don’s shows\, you’ll easily spot those who have yet to hear his songs. Upon first experiencing them\, the listener is often moved to laughter or tears\, sometimes both at the same time! And everyone leaves humming\, because Don Henry songs stay with you. \n\n\n\n“The crowd was won over by this guy and his guitar. Long may he write.” Dirty Linen \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about Tom Paxton: WEBSITE / FACEBOOK  / YOUTUBE  \n\n\n\nLearn more about The Don Juans: WEBSITE / FACEBOOK  / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / ALL AGES\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits
