Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival * July 30 - August 1, 2010 * Kaslo, BC2

On behalf of the Kaslo Jazz Etc. Society I would like to

welcome you to our 19th annual festival. Again, we will meet

for another weekend of great music and festivities. This

year’s music program has a tough act to follow, considering

last year’s line up; however, I feel we have out done ourselves

once more. As well, we have continued to tweak and fine

tune, making even more changes which we feel will add to

your festival experience. Change must be a constant if we

are going to continue to flourish as one of North America’s

top ten venues. (USA TODAY 2007)

This year’s program offers a multitude of entertainment

opportunity. Friday night will begin with South Thunderbird,

a 1st Nations blues band out of Winnipeg, followed by

the eloquent Ruthie Foster. This will be Ruthie’s second

appearance at Jazz Fest. Saturday’s line up is loaded with

variety. Blues, rockabilly, silky, sultry, smooth and jagged

jazz, circus sound, and hot Latin dance will fill the day.

Sunday will continue with hot lick blues guitar, flamenco

and Latin beat, jazz standards and originals, instrumentals

and vocals, and jazz fusion. Outreach workshops will occur

on all three days prior to our daily program, followed by jazz

and blues jams each night.

This year, we have carefully changed some of the spatial

elements of both site layout and program scheduling. The

site itself will feel less crowded, making it more convenient

for you to enjoy the food court, various vendors, or just

simply cruise and peruse. We have eliminated the up-stage,

putting all acts front and centre. This will allow us to provide

better viewing and sound in our natural amphitheatre. We

have also arranged for a little extra down time between

performers to allow you to revitalize before the next act.

Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival could not function if it wasn’t for

our community’s hands-on involvement. Hundreds of

people give their time and effort to help make this event

a success. Reciprocity, between the KJES, its volunteers,

sponsors, regional businesses, local, provincial and federal

governments, makes this great event happen.

Again, thank you and welcome to

Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival 2010.

Bub Patience, President KJES

For the better part

of a decade, the

progressive jazz

power-trio known as The

Bad Plus – Ethan Iverson

(piano), Reid Anderson

(bass) and Dave King

(drums) – have created

a singular aesthetic

force that challenges

commonly held ideas

of what differentiates

one style of music from

another.

They present a

highly original mix of

rock and pop songs,

original compositions

and classical pieces;

reworked with an

intense but egalitarian

approach. On stage, the quality and integrity of music by

the likes of Yes, Rush, Bowie, Black Sabbath and Blondie

are transformed alongside the likes of Stravinsky, Babbit

and Ligeti. “They’re all pieces that we’ve all had emotional

responses to in the moment, to the point where we said,

‘Well, let’s just do this’”, says Iverson. At the same time,

“We’re not going to treat one kind of music like high art

and another like disposable entertainment,” says King. “We

consider the whole spectrum to be worthy of our detailed

attention and worthy of the same respect.”

“The 20th century is filled with music by great composers,

but it’s a mistake to assume that all of those composers are

limited to classical or jazz or other types of music that are

commonly considered to be ‘high art,’” says Iverson. “There

were rock and pop songwriters of that same period whose

work was just as significant as the work of the classical

composers. They’re all part of a continuum of great music,

and as such, they’re all worthy of recognition and respect...

recognizing the value of every aspect of 20th century

music, regardless of the genres in which their composers

specialized.”

For more than three decades and after more than thirty

recordings, Spyro Gyra has maintained a position at

the forefront of modern, popular jazz by successfully

managing several feats of creative dexterity. “That’s what

has kept this band going,” says Beckenstein. “There are

always balances to be found - between the

individual player and the group, between

the songwriter and the player. It’s about

both satisfying yourself and satisfying your

audience. And when you’re improvising in

front of a crowd, you’re really walking down

that wire. There are always surprises that way,

but our openness to those surprises is what

makes this band what it is.”

While heavily influenced by the fusion sounds

of the 1970’s, including Return to Forever,

Miles Davis and Weather Report, Spyro Gyra

managed to appeal to a somewhat broader

audience than some of the earlier fusion bands,

and to build a legacy of devoted listeners. Band

member Beckenstein says, “...Whether it’s

touching their emotions or connecting them

to something that reminds them of something

much bigger than themselves, there’s this

beauty in music that’s ... very transportive. I

would hope that when people hear our music or come to

see us, they’re able to share that with us. That’s the truly

glorious part of being a musician.”

MonkeyJunk is a band that draws heavily on the

legends of the blues and translates that influence

into a contemporary blend of swamp R&B, soul

boogie and bedroom funk. This triple threat trio comprised

of Steve Marriner, Tony D and Matt Sobb draws on nearly

sixty years of combined experience playing blues live and

in studio and it shows.

In 2008, MonkeyJunk was nominated for a Maple Blues

Award for best new artist - after only having been

in existence for 6 months and without a record. In

February 2009, MonkeyJunk represented Canada at

The International Blues Challenge held in Memphis, TN;

competing amongst 100 bands from all over Europe,

Australia and North America. After the smoke cleared on

Beale St., MonkeyJunk placed third overall.

In April 2009, MonkeyJunk released their debut CD, Tiger In

Your Tank, to critical acclaim thanks to strong support from

satellite radio and CBC Radio (Canada Live and Saturday

Night Blues) as well as many specialty blues radio shows

from all over the world. MonkeyJunk was also featured on

Dan Aykroyd’s internationally syndicated “House Of Blues

Radio Hour”, Oct 4th, 2009 as the ‘bluesbreaker of the

week’. The band toured from coast to coast in Canada and

played at festivals including Montreal International Jazz

Festival and the Ottawa Bluesfest.

In 2010, MonkeyJunk was nominated for six Maple Blues

Awards and took five of them. At the Canadian Independent

Music Awards, March 2010, MonkeyJunk won Best Blues

Artist. They are currently nominated for a 2010 Blues

Music Award (USA) for Best New Artist Debut.

Ruthie Foster’s

latest musical

offering, The

Truth According to

Ruthie Foster, tackles

life’s big issues and

repeatedly testifies

to her core message

- that through all

of life’s ups and

downs, you must

stay true to yourself

and the music it

brings out. Fans of

the Kaslo Jazz Etc.

Festival will well

remember Ruthie’s

performance in

2004 as one of

the most widely

appreciated and

talked about shows

in the Festival’s

history.

Ruthie’s performance career has taken her from choir lofts

to folk bistros and onto stages in Europe, Australia and

North America. There’s Southern blues in her groove, rock

in her rhythm, a blend of gospel redemption, country poetry

and jazz elegance in her singing; at the core burns the heat

of soul music. Lately, Foster set up shop in the legendary

Ardent Studios, cutting almost everything live and going

for feeling above all else. The credo that has guided her

on musical and personal journeys ever since growing up in

Texas.

With a sound that ignores demographic lines and a charisma

that can ignite any audience, Foster is an artist of all-

encompassing appeal. This was only a matter of time. Even

as a young girl, she was taking in a wide variety of music,

whether through the hymns her mother taught her, the

Beatles songs she analyzed in a book given by her guitar

teacher, the 45s her truck-driving uncle would drop off during

his visits, the old-school country she heard while watching

various country variety shows with her grandfather, or the

pop songs that crackled through the family radio.

It didn’t matter to me what genre it was,” she remembers.

“I just took it all in as great music - music that moved me.”

South Thunderbird named for the band’s lead singer,

Isaac Mandamin’s spiritual name are considered

to be the hottest Native American blues band

around. From their start in 2005 this band have been

making waves and in that short time have acquired a

small treasure trove of awards which all started with

the nomination for their debut CD “Tough Go” for four

national awards. If you like a mixed sound that contains

a bit of Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie

Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan and Colin James then the

South Thunderbird Band will get you out of your seat

and dancing in no time flat!

Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival * July 30 - August 1, 2010 * Kaslo, BC10

This group brings

together the vision

of several musicians

from different backgrounds

and apprenticeships who

interpret Mexican musical

themes as a basic repertoire.

Camilo Nu presents a musical

potpourri that delights

the ears with the sound of

flamenco, jazz and Latin

beat, sounds which identify

each member of the group. The Camilo Nu Band has been

labeled by well-versed music critics as “world jazz”. The

musicians who have joined together to create this project

have traveled to many parts of the world to discover music

and maestros from these same music genres- places such as

Morocco, Spain, USA, Cuba, Argentina, Mexico, and France to

name a few- jamming and sharing their ideas with musicians

in clubs and well-attended music festivals.

You’ll discover the band’s sound is reminiscent of French

jazz that then takes on a Mexican “jarocho” sound and

gently eases into Andalusia music and Latin jazz – a cocktail

of sound that involves different ways of feeling and thinking

into a single language.

Terminal Station is

a Blues-Rock band

in the best sense of

the word. They take the

traditional blues sound

and kick it into high gear.

Their music is raw and

exciting – full of fat bass

lines, explosive drumming,

risk taking guitar solos

and impassioned vocals.

The members of Terminal

Station, Liam MacDonald

(drums), Jeremy Holmes

(bass), and Scott Smith

(vocals, guitar), have

been key players in Vancouver’s blues and roots scene for

the better part of a decade. They have played with such

Vancouver artists as Herald Nix, Ridley Bent, Michael

Kaeshammer, Jim Byrnes, Rich Hope, Aaron Pritchett,

Bocephus King, Headwater, Bottleneck, and Cousin Harley.

Over the last few years, Terminal Station has played

hundreds of shows and earned a reputation as a must see

live act.

W ith over twenty years of playing with the finest jazz

musicians in the U.S. & Canada, Cheryl Hodge has

certainly made her mark. In Nov 2009 she was the

“featured artist of the month” on COAST To COAST AM with

George Noory, with spotlight on the latest cut “That’s Why

I’m Here”, from faculty album, “SOUVENIR”. Winner of the

GRINDIE Award from RadioIndy.com Cheryl continues to be

a headliner and adjudicator at several jazz festivals. She

has been a top ten artist in jazz charts for ‘09 with songs:

“Indigo” and “Guide to Recovery”, “Give In”, “Do You”,

and “Adios” from ‘09 Indigo Album, featuring Brad Turner

on trumpet, and John Stowell on guitar, and other greats.

Hodge is a gifted pianist and isn’t afraid to visit the outer

stretches of “scatting” yet loves singing R&B (think Etta

James). Currently she has happily headed up the vocal and

songwriting departments at Selkirk College, Nelson, British

Columbia.

www.cherylhodge.com

Jude Davison has been writing, recording, and

performing original music for over 25 years. His songs

have been heard on radio and featured on TV shows

and films around the world. His latest album, Circo de

Teatro is truly unique sounding and borrows and combines

sounds from Americana, Roots, R&B, Dixieland and Mexican

Mariachi music, and forges this with the theme of a traveling

circus.

Since its release in 2009 it has been garnering rave

reviews around the world. The Georgia Straight (Vancouver)

called it “a sonically ambitious CD, peopled with colorful

characters”, while All Access Magazine (Los Angeles) called

it “a spectacle of sound . . . think Fellini meets Estrella

de Jalisco de Ernesto Molina after they had coffee at the

Country Music Hall of Fame”. Consistently though, the

album gets compared to Tom Waits and Allgigs (UK) went

as far as to suggest, “what say Tom Waits does a cover of

‘Amphetamine Sam’ for his next album, it work a treat”.

Utilizing a 10 piece band of some of Nelson’s finest and most

seasoned musicians - Bessie Wapp, Sydney Gailbraith, Craig

Korth, Tim Bullen, Keith Todd, Rick Lingard, Mark Spielman,

Darren Mahe, Steven Parish - this performance will bring to

the stage the album in its entirety.

for the guitar and began his self-education listening to the

recordings of jazz and blues greats. He released two albums

in Russia – Heavy Steppin’ (2002) and Troublemaker (2003)

and soon found himself in the limelight of public attention

with the help from the radio program “All That Blues” and

the national TV channel “Culture”.

Arsen is highly sought after for European blues festivals and

his songs are played on numerous blues radio and internet

stations all over the world. Arsen currently resides in British

Columbia. www.myspace.com/arsenshomakhov
