Get ready for more summer fun at the Bing!

July will bring us the sounds of rock and Mexican folk music, an evening of swing dancing in the lobby—as demonstrated by last year’s instructors featured on the cover—food trucks, picnicking, free preshow entertainment, and more.

Last year was our first experiment with summer programming, and it turned out to be a delightful way to experience Bing in a casual and social setting. Summer is a wonderful opportunity for Stanford Live to reach out to audiences who don’t usually come visit us. And it’s a good reminder to all of us that we do much more than present classical concerts. We’re offering informal, lighthearted experiences. Basically, it’s our summer party for the surrounding communities.

Adding to that party atmosphere, we’re inviting audiences to come early and stay late. We’re opening the lobby doors 90 minutes before each of the summer shows to offer additional opening-act performances and other free treats.

Meanwhile, you should have received information on our 2015–16 season. But I thought it would be helpful to give a little more background on some of the featured artists and to explain why they particularly excite me. Look for this season overview on page 14.

Now that we’ve completed three seasons in Bing Concert Hall, I believe we’re shifting the center of gravity of Silicon Valley’s performing arts scene. Bing is now the intimate concert destination south of San Francisco. Since it opened a little more than two years ago, nearly 150,000 people have experienced the world’s greatest artists in this beautiful, comfortable, convenient, and centrally located performance space.

Again, thank you for your support and for joining us on this adventure. I very much look forward to seeing you this summer and in the months to come.

ENGAGING WITH THE ARTS

CAMPUS & COMMUNITY

Italy’s Compagnia TPO wrapped up the 2014–15 season with its entrancing multimedia production of Bleu!, which transformed the Bing Studio into a deep-sea adventure.

In addition to five public performances, Stanford Live also presented student matinees for children with special needs, and the reaction was overwhelming. Barron Park Elementary School education specialist Melissa Brown wrote, “I have been working with children with autism for over 10 years, and this was the first time I have taken my students somewhere where they were completely in their element and were able to be a part of something where they could be themselves and truly enjoy every minute of it!”

The spring quarter offered an array of free student and public events designed to deepen the experience of the performing arts. Other highlights included an “Informance” with mandolinist Avi Avital at the Community School of Music and Arts in Mountain View, a Brazilian street dance class with Compagnie Käfig at Eastside College Preparatory School, a performance by Chanticleer at Toyon residence hall, a family music-making workshop with Doug Goodkin, a master class with music theater legend Ted Sperling, and a student opening-act performance led by Jeremy Hsu prior to the Imani Winds concert.

THE DIRECTOR’S TAKEON THE UPCOMING SEASONA Closer Look at 2015–2016

BY WILEY HAUSAM

LIVE CONTEXT DEEPENS OUR EXPERIENCEThis past season, we introduced an exciting new series called Live Context, which turned out to be a big success. You might remember it from special programs related to The Nile Project and The Demo. Essentially, we connect you to the ideas embedded in key season performances through talks by brilliant Stanford faculty members who are experts in these areas. Sometimes we bring distinguished guests from off campus together with our faculty. It’s something that can happen at the highest level only at Stanford. And believe it or not, most of these events are free!

In the upcoming season, Live Context will expand the exploration of new themes with programs related to performances by the acclaimed Tony Award–winning actress, playwright, and former Stanford professor Anna Deavere Smith; the concert premiere of Stanford composer Jonathan

Berger’s My Lai, based on the 1968 Vietnam massacre, for the Kronos Quartet; and a new work titled to go again from Bay Area choreographer Joe Goode, performed by the AXIS Dance Company.

ANNA DEAVERE SMITH IN RESIDENCEYou probably know the actress Anna Deavere Smith from such television series as Nurse Jackie and The West Wing. I’ve had the pleasure and honor of knowing and working with Anna since we met in the early 1990s. In my judgment, she is one of the most important American theater artists of her generation. Anna is a solo performer who enters communities, interviews hundreds of individuals, and uses their words to form intensely human portraits of communities in crisis that are seeking just solutions. She’s been on the road now searching for our American character for more than 25 years.

This October, we’re going to spend two weeks with Anna and

her work and focus on three pieces that address the theme of arts and social change: Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992; Martin Luther King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail (in collaboration with Stanford’s Office for Religious Life); and her new piece The Pipeline Project, which is about how the inadequate education available to residents of underserved communities puts them on a path that makes them quite likely to end up in our overcrowded prisons. I urge you to be present for all of this. It will change your perception of our society.

NEW WORKS FROM KRONOS AND AXIS DANCEAs all of us who love contemporary music know, the Kronos Quartet is one of the great musical ensembles of the last 30-plus years. You may not know, however, that they have regularly commissioned and performed works that examine the moral issues around war.

This year, they have commissioned a new work based on the tragic 1968 My Lai massacre of Vietnamese villagers by American soldiers during the Vietnam War. The music is by Stanford’s own composer Jonathan Berger and will incorporate traditional Vietnamese musical sounds as well as electronica.

The theme of return and recovery from war that Kronos explores is also taken on by one of the best contemporary dance companies in the Bay Area. The AXIS Dance Company includes dancers with and without physical disabilities. And they’ve teamed up with veteran choreographer Joe Goode, also an esteemed Bay Area artist, to create to go again. This work features the stories of several American veterans who have recently returned home from war—and it’s told through a combination of movement, music, and text. It’s a special and thought-provoking work.

DANCE AT BINGI am delighted to bring dance back to Bing Concert Hall this season. Though these two dance troupes seem worlds apart, Nrityagram Dance Ensemble and Keigwin + Company both present celebratory expressions of community.

The truly extraordinary dance ensemble Nrityagram performs a classic form of dance from India called Odissi, and I’m very excited to bring them to perform in Bing this September. The Odissi form and the artistic culture from which it springs are

Stanford Live supporters and audience members sometimes ask me what I think is so special about the artists we

present and why I’ve selected them. So I thought it might be interesting for you to read about what excites me about particular performances and artists. Several of you have also made observations about the eclecticism of our seasons. I’m pleased to hear this since Stanford and Silicon Valley are international communities that I believe deserve to experience the finest artists from around the globe and in all artistic disciplines and styles. I hope this will pique your curiosity about our 2015–16 season!

STANFORD LIVEFEATURE

so rich and complex that you really must experience the dance firsthand. What’s immediately apparent are the sensuous shifts of weight (creating a series of S-bend curves at the dancer’s knee, torso, and neck) and the rhythmic phrasing. To quote the distinguished New York Times dance critic Alastair Macaulay, “These Indian dances abound in dualisms: masculine and feminine elements, motion and repose, abstract form and mime gesture. The contrasts make for endless expressiveness.”

As many as 100 civilian performers will take part in Bolero Silicon Valley, a community-based movement work that will present a celebratory portrait of life in Silicon Valley today. Basically, it’s a community dance party. It will be created for and with us by two top New York City choreographers who direct Keigwin + Company: Larry Keigwin and Nicole Walcott, with whom I’ve been working since I commissioned Bolero NYC from them in 2007. The New York Times called Bolero NYC “the most inexpensive legal fun to be had for miles around.” Stay tuned for news about how you can audition for the Bolero Silicon Valley cast.

CHAMBER ENSEMBLESBing Concert Hall is absolutely ideal for chamber-size orchestras, as the last couple of seasons have proven. This coming November, the spirited Irish Chamber Orchestra will play a program of Béla Bartók, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Joseph Haydn and will feature the dynamic young

cellist István Várdai. If you love classical music and orchestras in an intimate setting, you don’t want to miss this concert.

For the last several years, the St. Lawrence String Quartet has awarded the John Lad Prize to a rising and promising young classical music ensemble. This year, they’ve named the beautiful Boston-based ensemble Trio Cleonice. The group’s concert will feature works by Haydn and Felix Mendelssohn and Mario Davidovsky’s romantically intense Chacona. If you care about the future of chamber music, you’ll want to hear Trio Cleonice.

SINGERS AND SONGWRITERSCan you believe that folk legend Arlo Guthrie is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his iconic song “Alice’s Restaurant”? He’s going as strong as ever, and this special show will include stories and video about his anti–Vietnam War anthem and the time and place that brought it into being. Whether you’re a boomer who remembers the 1960s or a millennial who has only heard about it from your grandparents, you don’t want to miss this.

There’s also a lot of anticipation and excitement building around the visit of Canada’s young folk trio The Wailin’ Jennys. The group’s pristine vocalizations of classic songs made famous by artists like Tom Petty, Dolly Parton, and Lead Belly are alternately stirring, penetrating, and introspective—realizing the best qualities of the folk tradition.

MUSICAL INNOVATORS Among the new music-makers we’re presenting this season, one of the most interesting and exciting is the young jazz musician Darcy James Argue. He formed a big band some years ago called Secret Society, and I had the privilege of presenting the first production of a new work from the group that went to the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It told the story, entirely through music and images, of what happens when you build the tallest building in the world in Brooklyn. Now he’s making a new work that will explore the subject of conspiracy theories. It too will go to the Brooklyn Academy of Music Next Wave Festival after it receives its concert premiere here at Stanford. I know it’s going to be fascinating and musically rewarding.

Brooklyn Rider and Gabriel Kahane are also some of the hippest young American musical artists out there. Kahane is an acclaimed singer-songwriter and composer, and Brooklyn Rider plays everything from Ludwig van Beethoven to Philip Glass to world music and rock. The group is super eclectic—equally at home in clubs, theaters, and concert halls—and the quartet’s members all play with the energy of rock stars.

FUN FOR ALL AGESAlthough these are hardly “kid shows,” I do want to call out two performances that I think have broad appeal to a wide range of audiences.

When I saw the live presentation of Kid Koala’s Nufonia Must Fall at the Western Arts

Alliance Annual Conference in Seattle last September, I was completely charmed by it. It’s simultaneously smart, hip, classical, complex, simple, full of heart, and appealing to audiences of all ages. What could be more Stanford than the story of a robot on the verge of obsolescence who falls in love with an office drone?

And as you probably know, there’s a longstanding and very popular taiko tradition at Stanford and in the Bay Area as a whole. So I wanted to be sure that Stanford Live would bring you Yamato, the drummers of Japan, presented in Memorial Auditorium. The group features super-exciting drummers, and the theatricality they bring to their show sends the whole experience over the top. If you like drumming, you’re going want to see Yamato.

This is really just the tip of the iceberg. I encourage you to visit our website to see video clips of these and other performers. The year ahead promises another season of superb performances by iconic artists and brilliant young discoveries. I look forward to seeing you at Bing Concert Hall in the fall!•Photos: Anna Deavere Smith, Yamato—The Drummers of Japan, Kid Koala’s Nufonia Must Fall, and Keigwin + Company.

PHILLIP PHILLIPSWhile touring the United States and beyond throughout 2013, singer-guitarist Phillip Phillips kept up with a songwriting practice built on his lifelong passion for rugged, rootsy rock-and-roll music. The follow-up to 2012’s The World from the Side of the Moon (a platinum-plus-selling album that debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and featured the five-times-platinum smash hit “Home”), Phillips’ sophomore album Behind the Light finds the 23-year-old Georgia native offering up a batch of songs marked by a more ambitious and refined sensibility but still powered by the earthy authenticity that has long shaped his sound. With each song written or cowritten by Phillips, Behind the Light also showcases the guitar skills he began honing by learning to play at age 14 and recently sharpened by joining Matchbox Twenty and John Mayer on tour and sharing the stage with Bruce Springsteen at the 2013 Rock in Rio festival.

To record Behind the Light (19 Entertainment/Interscope Records), Phillips again teamed up with Gregg Wattenberg (the Grammy-nominated producer behind The World from the Side of the Moon as well as releases from Five for Fighting, Goo Goo Dolls, Train, and O.A.R.). Holing up in New York City’s Quad Studios in the middle of 2013’s brutal winter—and joining forces with the musicians who form his tight-knit live band—Phillips dedicated himself to broadening his impassioned brand of rock with an edgy ingenuity he’s newly explored through such artists as Radiohead and Peter Gabriel. Moodier and more darkly charged but full of arena-sized rock anthems, Behind the Light features lead single “Raging Fire,” an epic and urgent love song that debuted in the Billboard Hot 100 upon its March 2014 release and quickly earned raves for Phillips’ stirring vocal delivery and thrilling guitar work.

Like “Raging Fire,” all of Behind the Light backs its big emotion and unbridled energy with sprawling arrangements and melody-minded songcraft. After opening with a

cascade of guitars on “Searchlight” (a lush and harmony-laced number that shimmers with a sense of redemption), the album soars on to capture a powerful spectrum of moods. Tracks like the gorgeously string-accented “Unpack Your Heart” embody hope and joyful courage, while dream-like imagery and mournful cello lend “Thicket” a shadowy cinematic feel, and “Fly” emerges as a glorious all-out rocker fueled by tense and nervy pedal steel guitar. And although Behind the Light has its share of brash and brooding moments (such as on “Trigger,” a pained love song intensified by Phillips’ scorching guitar solo), a triumphant spirit prevails throughout the album, a testament to Phillips’ warm yet commanding grasp as a songwriter and performer.

For Phillips, the scope and power of Behind the Light owes much to his taking time to feel out each song and push into territory he hadn’t charted before. “I don’t believe in forcing a song, so if I start out with a particular vision and then it takes a different turn, I’m going to follow that and see what happens,” says Phillips. “With this album, I felt like I was growing with the songs as I was writing them, and because of that, the music’s more complex and there are some really cool changes all over the record.” In terms of the lyrical content on Behind the Light, Phillips drew inspiration from musing on the passage

of time and all its pain and wonder. “A lot of the songs are about growing up and starting to feel that gravity’s making its way into your life,” explains Phillips. “It’s a scary thing, but at the same time, it’s also kind of beautiful.” When it came time to record Behind the Light, Phillips first gathered his band together to further mold each of the songs selected for the album. “We spent some time just playing everything really roughly, sort of jamming it all out, which I think helped a lot in making this album sound more like a band record,” Phillips says.

That bandcentric dynamic has long been key to Phillips, who formed his first group as a teenager in Leesburg, Georgia. An acoustic outfit, the band included Phillips’ older sister and her husband Benjamin Neil, through whom Phillips first learned to play guitar and soon found himself mastering riffs from classic-rock tracks like Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” and Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train.” After graduating from high school, Phillips started studying industrial systems technology at Albany Technical College in Georgia and continued playing music and cultivating his own sound and style. “I grew up on musicians and bands from the ’60s and ’70s, stuff like Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin,” states Phillips, who also names Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan as two top inspirations for his guitar work. “Then as I got older, I found Damien Rice and Dave Matthews and John Butler, which is what really set it off for me in terms of finding my voice as a musician.”

In the summer of 2011, with much encouragement from his family and friends, the then-20-year-old took a break from working in his family’s pawnshop to audition for the 11th season of American Idol. After tearing through full-throated performances of songs by artists like Creedence Clearwater Revival and Wilson Pickett on the Idol stage, Phillips finished out the season as its winner. Released the same day that he claimed his victory, “Home” marked the most successful coronation song of any Idol winner—as well as

PROGRAM: PHILLIP PHILLIPS

Dave Eggar


the highest-ever debut on the Billboard digital songs chart, with 278,000 downloads sold.

After touring extensively since his American Idol experience, Phillips notes that he developed each of the songs on Behind the Light with an eye toward their impact in a live setting. “One of the reasons I took more time with these songs is that if you force it, then you might not feel it, and it’s really important to me that all the songs have so much emotion that I might even feel something new and different every time I play them,” he says. “What I’m most proud of with this album is it really represents how I play live,” Phillips continues. “It’s very jam oriented and free and true to the rock side of things, and the band and I always just try to keep everything as organic and raw as we possibly can.”

DAVE EGGARA musical prodigy as a child, Dave Eggar began playing the cello and piano at age three, performed on Broadway and with the Metropolitan Opera at age seven, and debuted at Carnegie Hall at age 15. He is a graduate of Harvard University and the Julliard School’s doctoral program.

Eggar has performed worldwide as a solo cellist and pianist. A virtuoso of many styles, Eggar has performed and recorded with artists in numerous genres, including Evanescence, the Who, Michael Brecker, Josh Groban, Coldplay, Beyoncé, Pearl Jam, Fall Out Boy, David Sanborn, Kathleen Battle, Ray LaMontagne, Roberta Flack, the Spin Doctors, Dianne Reeves, Brandy, Carly Simon, Phil Ramone, Hannah Montana, Duncan Sheik, Sinéad O’Connor, Bon Jovi, the Manhattan Transfer, Corinne Bailey Ray, and many more.

His list of accomplishments includes accolades and awards from Time magazine; the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers; the National Endowment for the Arts; and the Geraldine R. Dodge and Leonard Bernstein Foundations. At 15, he was the youngest winner in the history of the Young Concert Artists International Auditions

competition. He also won the Sony Records Elevated Standards Award in classical music.

Eggar’s fourth solo release, Kingston Morning, was recorded in Brooklyn, New York; Kingston, Jamaica; and Big Stone Gap, Virginia. It was released on Domo Records in 2010. Eggar’s mission to “not just cross over but cross

through” multiple genres of music is apparent with all his releases. Whether it’s classical, reggae, bluegrass, jazz, pop, or world music, he finds a common voice within his musical vocabulary and introduces it with his own unique, imaginative vision.•

PROGRAMToday’s program will be announced from the stage.

Joey Chang, a.k.a. “CelloJoe,” will perform a 30-minute set at 3:00 pm in the Gunn Atrium.


PROGRAM: THE HOUSE JACKSJULY 19 / 4:00 PM BING CONCERT HALL



http://stanfordshop.com

THE HOUSE JACKSThe House Jacks of San Francisco are the original “rock band without instruments.” Using nothing more than their five voices (and mouths), band members deliver everything from blistering funk to screaming rock to heart-melting ballads for their ever-growing legions of fans. These pioneering musicians have performed thousands of shows and shared the stage with some of the biggest names in music. Their radio spots for Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 have been heard by 50 million listeners on 330 U.S. radio stations and 50 other stations around the world. Their jingles for radio stations in Los Angeles and San Francisco have been heard by more than 1.5 million listeners. Their music can also be heard in places as far-reaching as movie soundtracks and computer operating systems.

A house jack is what you use when you want to move a house. Anyone who has seen the group perform live will tell you that the name is appropriate. “Raise the roof” takes on a whole new meaning with the House Jacks.

The House Jacks have performed thousands of shows at stadiums (from Fenway to Candlestick), theaters and clubs (from Carnegie Hall to the House of Blues), colleges (from Dartmouth to Stanford), and festivals (from the World Expo to the Black and White Ball) in locations around the United States and

internationally, including France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Japan, and Singapore. The group has appeared with Ray Charles; James Brown; Train; LL Cool J; the Neville Brothers; Bill Clinton; Crosby, Stills, and Nash; the Pointer Sisters; Live; Nia Peeples; Johnny Clegg; Blind Boys of Alabama; Colin Powell; the Temptations; George Carlin; Pam Tillis, the Four Tops; the Gap Band; Tower of Power; Starship; Jon Secada; Run-DMC; and many others.

JOHN POINTERJohn Pointer, a.k.a. “Squinty Phil,” grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan; got a degree in cello performance and composition from the University of Texas at Austin; and has been a full-time musician based there ever since.

He created and led the pioneering a cappella and body percussion ensemble Schrödinger’s Cat and was the beatboxer in the Chili’s commercials for baby back ribs. He’s a pretty ridiculous guitarist (seriously…watch a video); he played Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar and Roger in Rent; he has commercially released nine albums with several different groups; and the mayor and city council of Austin declared January 27, 2005, John Pointer Day.

NICK GIRARDBorn and raised in the great state of Maine, Nick Girard became interested in music

in fourth grade when he started playing the clarinet. Upon realizing that girls aren’t overly fond of glasses-wearing, math-loving clarinetists, Mr. Girard switched to drums in middle school, much to the delight of his family and neighbors. Guitar was even better at attracting female attention, so he grew out his hair, bought a Stratocaster, and began writing love songs.

Mr. Girard’s first encounter with a cappella was as a college freshman at the University of Vermont. Enticed by the Top Cats’ marketing slogan “Chicks Dig Guys Who Sing,” Mr. Girard joined the group as a tenor and later became the group’s vocal percussionist.

After graduating from the University of Vermont with a degree in applied mathematics and computer science, Mr. Girard worked as a telecommunications analyst before ditching the nine to five to become a carpenter. In 2006, he started the group Overboard as a side project. Five years, five albums, and seven Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award nominations later, Overboard expanded into a cappella production work and Overboard Productions was born. Mr. Girard’s work for Overboard Productions has since been featured on 20/20, Today, TBS, and NBC’s The Sing-Off.

TROY HORNETroy Horne has starred in the Broadway show Rent and has been featured on NBC’s The Sing-Off and ION Television’s Firebrand TV. Mr. Horne has toured the world with the House Jacks, singing for audiences in the United States and Europe. Mr. Horne has also written music for the television documentary Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel—The Life of an Outlaw; appeared on Star Search; written music for former NFL champion and Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy’s book Uncommon: Finding Your Path to Significance; and most recently completed his new CD I Am, a work of life-affirming music that received a Posi Award for its message of social action.

PROGRAM: THE HOUSE JACKS


In addition to singing with the House Jacks, Mr. Horne is currently working with Nightingale Conant as a musician and motivational speaker and looks forward to serving the planet with his music and message. You can find out more about Troy and his work at www.troyhorne.com.

AUSTIN WILLACYAustin Willacy is a singer-songwriter who has produced four full-length albums of his original music. He has toured extensively throughout the United States as a solo artist and throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan with the House Jacks. Mr. Willacy cowrote the theme song for the movie Thrive. In addition, his songs and compositions have been featured on The Sing-Off; on national TV in Australia; on Road Rules; on National Public Radio; in two documentary films, Word Wars and A Lawyer Walks into a Bar; and on the demo for a new Sony audio system for Ford vehicles. He has also contributed dozens of soundalike vocals to the Karaoke Revolution and Guitar Hero video game franchises.

Mr. Willacy is the director of ‘Til Dawn—Youth in Arts’ award-winning teen a cappella group—and has facilitated more than 35 youth retreats. Mr. Willacy has also cofacilitated four Leveraging Privilege for Social Change Jams and currently serves on the Yes! board of directors. He also served on the board of Rainforest Action Network for four years and is in his fifth year of service on the board of the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse. He donates his time and musical talent to a wide range of educational, social, and environmental organizations.

DEKE SHARONBorn in San Francisco, California, Deke Sharon has been performing professionally since the age of eight. As a child, he toured North America and shared the stage in operas with the likes of Luciano Pavarotti. Heralded as “the father of contemporary a cappella” by Entertainment Weekly, he is responsible for the current sound of modern a cappella, having created the dense vocal-instrumental sound in

college and subsequently spreading it around the world.

In addition to his work with the House Jacks, Mr. Sharon produces NBC’s The Sing-Off, which had the highest ratings of any new, unscripted television show in the United States in 2009 and was the third-highest-rated show on NBC in 2010. He also consults on the show’s international versions in Holland and China. In addition, Mr. Sharon served as music director for Universal Studio’s 2012 film Pitch Perfect starring Anna Kendrick. Mr. Sharon founded the Contemporary A Cappella Society while in college and is responsible for many seminal a cappella programs, including the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards; the International Championship of College A Cappella; the Best of College A Cappella Compilation; the first contemporary a cappella conferences,

the A Cappella Summit; the new Contemporary A Cappella League; and the YouTube channel Inside A Cappella.

He is also contemporary a cappella’s most prolific arranger, having arranged more than 2,000 songs, with many of them in print worldwide with Hal Leonard/Contemporary A Cappella Publishing. His first book, A Cappella Arranging, was published in 2012. He has produced dozens of award-winning a cappella albums for groups such as Straight No Chaser, Committed, Nota, Street Corner Symphony, and the Tufts Beelzebubs; created a cappella groups for Disneyland and Disney World; and frequently tours the world teaching a variety of topics to students and professional singers. His voice can be heard in commercials and video games, most recently in Just Dance Kids 2.•

LAVAY SMITH AND HER RED HOT SKILLET LICKERS Sultry chanteuse Lavay Ms. Smith evokes a sensuous era of glamorous jazz divas and sexy pinups but adds a modern, feminist twist. Whether singing her own compositions or drawing on a large repertoire of classics, Ms. Smith and her all-star seven-piece band bake up an instant recipe for good times.

Vocalist and bandleader of the Red Hot Skillet Lickers, Ms. Smith grew up in Southern California and the Philippines. She has become known as a modern-day jazz and blues song stylist in the tradition of Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Bessie Ms. Smith, and Little Esther Phillips. Her enticing stage style is a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page.

Ms. Smith approaches her material from the standpoint of an independent

woman, combining world-class singing and musicianship with contemporary and provocative lyrics. Her musical stance is echoed in her real-life role as owner of her own record label, Fat Note Records. Her debut CD, One Hour Mama, received widespread critical acclaim and has sold more than 40,000 copies in the United States. Her alluring stage presence and high musical standards ensure that this diva will continue to be a best-selling independent phenomenon.

Ms. Smith’s band—consisting of four horns, piano, bass, and drums—features the finest musicians anywhere. This is truly an all-star ensemble; Ms. Smith’s musicians have performed and recorded with Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Tito Puente, Lionel Hampton, Jay McShann, Johnny Otis, Wynton Marsalis, Big Joe Turner, Ray Charles, Big Mama Thornton, Taj Mahal, and Little Esther Phillips, to name a few.

The band first performed in 1989 and immediately began attracting crowds thanks to Ms. Smith’s big, bluesy voice; exciting stage personality; and glamorous approach. According to Fox TV, the band has become “a San Francisco institution.” In 1998, the readers of San Francisco’s two major newspapers, the Chronicle and the Examiner, voted Lavay Ms. Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers the Best Band in the annual readers’ poll.

Important publications, including JazzTimes, Blues Revue, Jazziz, New York Press, Living Blues, and Alternative Press, have sung the praises of Ms. Smith and her band. The group has made television and radio appearances on shows such as The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Fox TV’s Fox Files, and National Public Radio’s To the Best of Our Knowledge. World-famous celebrities have jumped on the Lavay Ms. Smith bandwagon as well. Johnny Otis says, “Lavay is wonderful! She and her band are a breath of fresh air.” Dan Aykroyd says of Ms. Smith’s debut album, “This CD is guaranteed to make you feel better.” Even President Bill

Clinton has seen the light, proclaiming, “I love this band—they’re great!”

PerformancesLavay Ms. Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers maintain a busy schedule of more than 250 performances per year, including extensive touring throughout the United States and Canada. They have performed at many prestigious venues, including Lincoln Center, the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, the Chicago Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival, the Monterey Jazz Festival, Kansas City’s 18th and Vine Jazz and Blues Festival, the San Francisco Blues Festival, the Toronto Jazz Festival, and the Playboy Jazz Festival. Ms. Smith has performed in 40 states, Canada, Mexico, and Japan. When not on the road, Ms. Smith and her band are showcased at some of San Francisco’s hippest nightclubs, where they have been selling out shows for years.

RecordingsMs. Smith produces her CDs with musical director Chris Siebert for her record label, Fat Note Records. Her debut CD, One Hour Mama, was an independent smash hit, outselling most major-label jazz and blues releases, a true testament to her musical and business savvy. Her second CD, Everybody’s Talkin’ ‘Bout Miss Thing, repeated this success, staying on the Billboard jazz charts for 20 consecutive weeks and rising to number 10. The album received widespread critical acclaim, including a prestigious four-and-a-half-star review in DownBeat magazine.

Ms. Smith’s CD Everybody’s Talkin’ ‘Bout Miss Thing incorporates a variety of classic American musical styles, including swing, bebop, salsa, jump blues, and New Orleans R & B. Enlisting the arranging talents of David Berger, arranger for Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the album includes six outstanding original tunes, many classics, and several obscure gems.•

PROGRAM: TLEN HUICANIJULY 26 / 4:00 PM BING CONCERT HALL

BIOTlen HuicaniHailing from Jalapa, the capital city of the state of Veracruz in Mexico, Tlen Huicani (pronounced wee-KAH-ne) is one of the most faithful interpreters of the traditional folk music of Veracruz and of much of Latin America. Tlen Huicani, the phrase means “the singers” in the indigenous Indian language of Nahuatl, has taken the beautiful harpa jarocha, or folk harp, and made it the centerpiece of its music.

Founded in 1973, the group was named best folk group in Mexico by the Mexican Union of Music and Theater Critics. Group director Alberto de la Rosa is one of the most respected musicians in all of Mexico and is considered among the most outstanding folk harpists in the world. In 2013, the group celebrated another landmark, reaching its 40-year anniversary of making unforgettable music.

Mariachi Mi Tierra Linda will perform a 30-minute set at 3:00 pm in the Gunn Atrium.
