SUMMARY:Marian Pabón ¡Más fuerte que nunca!
DESCRIPTION:Marian Pabón is what is known as an “all-arounder.” She sings\, dances\, acts\, and writes drama and comedy for both theater and television. Her talent and charismatic personality have made her one of the most beloved artists by Puerto Ricans inside and outside the archipelago. After a 45-year career\, the last 10 writing dramatic monologues and comedy\, Marian faced a cancer diagnosis. During her recovery\, “Más fuerte que nunca” was born\, the stand-up with which she successfully returned to the stage and which she will take to the diaspora with the BoriCorridor Tour. In this powerful piece\, Marian uses humor to share her recent experiences as a patient and survivor. It is an invitation to laugh and reflect.

SUMMARY:Valley Jazz Shares – Aaron Shragge Whispering Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Whispering Worlds seamlessly integrates looping/live processing/sampling with the compelling melodic development found in Raga and the music of the shakuhachi. The quartet’s debut performance paid homage to Jon Hassell at Festival of New Trumpet Music in NY drawing praise from artistic director/trumpeter Dave Douglas: “Delving deeply into the sonic and spiritual worlds of Hassell’s work\, Aaron Shragge presents a deeply felt homage to the trumpeter and composer. This meditative set demonstrated focus and passion\, with beautiful and precise playing. A fantastic vision of what the trumpet can do and be…”  \nAaron Shragge has performed with Daniel Carter\, Ben Monder\, Dave Douglas\, William Parker\, Jon Gibson\, The Sam Roberts Band\, Akim Funk Buddha\, and Medeski Martin and Wood’s Billy Martin at such venues as Symphony Space\, Lincoln Center\, Kennedy Center and The Blue Note. Aaron is an active in the NYC improvised/creative music scene serving on the board of Festival of New Trumpet Music NY/Canada. Aaron’s unique instrument the Dragon Mouth Trumpet was designed to expand the trumpet’s melodic capacity and is the result of over a decade of studying both the Shakuhachi (Japanese\, Flute) as well as North Indian Vocals. Aaron Shragge’s current projects include a duo with Ben Monder\, a Jazz quintet that plays the music of Tom Waits and his continuing solo works for Dragon Mouth Trumpet/Shakuhachi.

SUMMARY:Valley Jazz Shares - Brandon Seabrook
DESCRIPTION:Brandon Seabrook is a guitarist\, banjoist\, and composer living in New York City where he has established himself as one of the most forward-thinking and versatile and guitarists of his generation. He has also made a name for himself as an influential banjo innovator\, described by the New York Times as “a man apparently hellbent on earning the title of World’s Least Rustic Banjo Player.” His work focuses on the juxtaposition of  hallucinatory soundscapes\, angular composition\, and a massive dynamic range that can change in a nanosecond. He has released seven albums as a leader covering everything from pulverizing art-metal to chamber music bridging the realms of extreme rock and the classical avant-garde. Rolling Stone Magazine noted\, “The fiercely dexterous musician has lunched a number of bands combining serious chops with manic intensity and a left- field compositional vision.”\n\nSeabrook honed his guitar skills at the New England Conservatory in Boston. He has since performed extensively in North and South America\, Mexico and Europe\, as a solo artist\, bandleader\, and collaborator. He has been called upon by titans such as Anthony Braxton\, Nels Cline\, Cecile McLorin Salvant\, So Percussion\, and Joey Arias for his idiosyncratic physical performance style \, hyperreal technique and impeccable articulation . He has been profiled in the New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, Premiere Guitar\, Downbeat Magazine\, Rolling Stone\, NPR\, The Chicago Reader\, and The Wire. \nSeabrook Power Plant\, the nuclear trio donned “a manic clusterfuck of merciless banjo torture” by the Village Voice\, is Brandon’s brainchild\, blending the brutal energy of punk-rock with the intricate execution of through-composed avant jazz. The band has released two albums to much critical acclaim. Time Out New York praised the band’s eponymous debut as “not only one of the most baffling experimental releases of the year it’s also one of the best.” \nBrandon is an accomplished solo artist\, named Best Guitarist in New York City by the Village Voice 2012. In 2014\, New Atlantis Records released his first solo album titled “Sylphid Vitalizers.” Noisey called the album a “dissonant guitar army…(with) mind-blowing prog-rock complexities – all at mind-numbing breakneck speed.” Brandon has presented his solo work at Pioneer Works\, Sonic Transmissions Festival\, Secret Project Robot\, NK Berlin\, Lima Jazz Festival\, Dither Extravaganza\, The Smell\, Lawrence University\, and the Ruidismos Festival in Lima\, Peru. \nHis most recent recording\, “BrutalLoveChamp” was released last year on Pyroclastic Records. On October 18\, “Object of Unknown Function”\, his second solo album will be released on Pyroclastic.

SUMMARY:Valley Jazz Shares - Josh Sinton/Jeb Bishop Duo
DESCRIPTION:From the Valley Jazz Share’s website: \n“Called “varied and exciting\,” as well as “one of the most striking baritone saxophonists\,” Josh Sinton has been heard with some of the leading voices of Brooklyn’s creative music scene since arriving in 2004. He’s led bands as varied as Predicate\, musicianer and Ideal Bread as well as performing in the Nate Wooley Quintet\, Anthony Braxton’s Tricentric Orchestra and Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society. He’s studied at the AACM while living in Chicago in the nineties\, the New England Conservatory in Boston in the aughts and with friends and colleagues here in NYC. He performs regularly on his chosen instrument the baritone saxophone as well as on bass clarinet and alto flute. He also writes music (and words) when the occasion demands. He is proud to count Ingrid Laubrock\, Jonathan Finlayson\, Tom Rainey\, Jeremiah Cymerman and Guillermo Gregorio among his colleagues and looks forward to making music with many other musicians. \nJeb Bishop was born in Raleigh\, North Carolinawhere he began playing the trombone at the age of 10. He majored in classical trombone performance at Northwestern University from 1980-82\, studying with Frank Crisafulli.  At the same time\, he developed an interest in philosophy\, eventually majoring in the subject\, and spent 1984-85 studying philosophy at the Higher Institute of Philosophy of the Catholic University of Louvain\, Belgium. He pursue graduate studies in philosophy\, first at the University of Arizona\, then at Loyola University of Chicago (where he was awarded the Crown Fellowship in the Humanities). Returning to Chicago in 1992\, he completed his M.A. at Loyola in 1993. By this time he had already begun to make connections with improvising musicians in Chicago\, having joined the Flying Luttenbachers as bassist (later adding trombone) in late 1992. In late 1995\, Bishop joined the Vandermark 5 as one of its founding members\, and remained with the band through the end of 2004. During this period he also became associated with many other groups\, including the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet\, School Days\, Ken Vandermark’s Territory Band\, Mars Williams’ Ayler XMass and his own Jeb Bishop Trio\, In 2012\, Bishop relocated to North Carolina\, where he made associations with musicians in the area including David Menestres\, Dan Ruccia\, Carrie Shull\, and Eugene Chadbourne\, and helped present and organize performances in the NC Triangle region. In 2015\, he relocated again to Boston\, and is now back in Chicago.”

Now occupying most of an historic Victorian house affectionately called “The Pink Lady\,” the Archives has been stewarded for most of its five decades by curator Ben Power and many dedicated community volunteers and board directors.\nAs a community resource with a mission to remain outside of institutional/university ownership\, the SMA is currently struggling to make ends meet–to pay monthly utilities and basic operating costs. As a national treasure located right in our backyard\, we are hosting this benefit to help the SMA continue its work as a steward of 10\,000s of pieces of queer media and a community resources for researchers\, students\, activists and LGBTQI folks looking to understand more about the people and movements that make up their lineage. \nPlease visit the:\nSMA’s website (https://sexualminoritiesarchives.wordpress.com/) Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/FollowtheSMA) and Instagram @sexualminoritiesarchives\n…for more info as well as episodes from the “Out of the Archives” podcast (https://www.buzzsprout.com/1005022).”
