FEATURING ~
Jeff Lederer / Reeds
Kirk Knuffke / Cornet
Chris Lightcap / Bass
Matt Wilson / Leader, Composer, Drums

Dedicated to Rep. John Lewis and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg;
The Good Trouble Suite comprises three movements: RBG | Walk with the Wind | Good Trouble

Written by Matt Wilson and arranged for big band by Jeff Lederer, it debuted in 2021 with the Kansas All State Jazz Ensemble.

Matt conducted the ensemble via Zoom and the performance was recorded by the performers recording their parts at home. It was quite an intense, but incredibly gratifying, experience.

The enthusiastic response of the performance and to the messages of the spoken word excerpts, was inspiring. The work has since been performed by the LIU Post and Wichita State University jazz ensembles.

The Matt Wilson Quartet is recognized as one of the most adventurous, engaging and fun-loving working jazz groups of the past 25 years, and have performed worldwide. Their latest release, Hug!, was chosen one of the top recordings by the NYC Jazz Record among other notable publications.

Matt Wilson
https://www.mattwilsonjazz.com/

“There are a few more emphatically dazzling drummers working today, but almost nobody in Wilson’s peer group with a broader sense of jazz history, or a more natural sense of time, or a stronger signature as a bandleader, or more goodwill among his fellow players.” Nate Chinen, JazzTimes

Wilson’s motto on stage and in the classroom; “The answer is YES…if it’s legal.”

Few musicians embody the spontaneous energy of jazz like Matt Wilson. The New York-based drummer combines buoyant zeal, idiosyncratic style, infectious humor, joyous swing and an indomitable spirit of surprise. Together, with his universally recognized personal warmth, these qualities have made Wilson one of the most in-demand players and educators on the modern jazz scene, both beloved and respected by his peers, elders and students. Not bad for a mischievous Midwestern boy from Knoxville, Illinois.

And that’s only a drop in the proverbial bucket in the context of an impressive discography that finds his distinctive style on more than 400 albums, with a "Who's Who" of contemporary jazz.

Matt can be heard hosting “Playdate with Matt Wilson” on New York jazz radio station WBGO.

Kris was also selected for the Grammy NEXT program.

Kris's new record “Damn Shame Waste” came out Sept 9th. Singles “Run” and “Win the Game” are in the top 5 most played new adds on SiriusXM’s The Loft as well as being added to FM stations across the country and being featured on iHeartRadio in the wake of her being the top fundraising artist ever for Music Beats Cancer in March.

ABRAXIS
https://www.facebook.com/AbraxisSantanaTributeBand/

A sextet of our region's finest veteran Latin players, comes together to honor the music of Carlos Santana which shattered the barriers between rock and Latin music, across generations, introducing the world to the power and joy of Afro-Latin beats, forging a path for many Latin and fusion artists to follow.

From Woodstock’s 1969 earth-moving performance of Soul Sacrifice and Evil Ways, his work with John McLaughlin, to the esoterically beautiful Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile), Carlos Santana evolved before our eyes and ears. In 2000, the band won six Grammys in one night, followed by three Latin Grammys.

and Special Guest, legendary drummer - Bernard Purdie - the "funkiest soul beat" in the business, who has consistently anchored sessions with the Rolling Stones, James Brown and Tom Jones with equal ease.

VIDEO: James Brown's Bassist, Fred Thomas: https://youtu.be/bVwlMtTUezM

Fred Thomas
https://www.facebook.com/FredThomasoftheJBs/

Fred Thomas occupies a special niche in the history R&B. As James Brown’s principal bassist since 1971 (the “Make if Funky” era), Fred participated in one the most prolific periods in the Godfather of Soul’s incredible career as a member of Brown’s band, the J.B.'s.

Fred can be heard on No. 1 R&B singles “Make it Funky”, “Hot Pants”, “Get on the Good Foot” and the Top 10 R&B singles “I’m a Greedy Man”, “There It Is”, and “Honkey Tonk“. He’s on the all-time classics “Papa Don’t Take No Mess”, "Doing it to Death (Funky Good Time)”, "I Got Ants in My Pants”, "Stoned to the Bone” and instrumental classics like “Pass the Peas” and “Gimme Some More”. Fred’s bass lines are heard on some of the most sampled songs of all time, including Bobby Byrd's "I Know You Got Soul" and Lyn Collin's "Think”.

Bernard Purdie
https://www.bernardprettypurdie.com/

Which musician did Aretha Franklin definitely NOT want missing from the line-up when she recorded her most inspired albums at the beginning of the seventies. Who provided the back-beat for Steely Dan's "Aja", and for whom have Isaac Hayes, Donny Hathaway, B.B. King, "Sweet" Lou Donaldson, Joe Cocker and Hank Crawford reserved that stool behind the drum kit? The list is incomplete; it must be, because no other drummer in the last three decades has seen the interior of a recording studio as often as Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. A native of Elkton, Maryland - Purdie has laid down the beat on over 3000 albums to date.

Crys Matthews began performing in 2010, but the music world really began to take note of her when she won the 2017 New Song Music and Performance Competition grand prize, which included an appearance at Lincoln Center. Performances followed at other renowned festivals and venues, including the Sundance Film Festival, the Kerrville Folk Festival, and the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center. This May her song “Changemakers” garnered song-of-the-year honors at the 2022 International Folk Music Awards.

Anne Powers of National Public Radio labels Matthews a "Rising Folk Music Star," while the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival proclaims, "Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers."

The concert will be at Flying Cat Music's new venue, inside the Phoenicia United Methodist Church (not the attached hall ). $18 advance tickets can be bought online at Flying Cat's website or tickets may be available for $20 cash (only) at the door, which o

ACCEPT ARE BACK!

The German kingpins of heavy metal will release their new, eagely-awaited studio album via Nuclear Blast on January 15th 2021. The ingenious title of the masterpiece is “Too Mean To Die”. Speaking of heavy metal kingpins, when ACCEPT first launched at the end of the 70s, the metal genre didn’t even exist – at first the band could only be labelled with the (quality) seal “crazy loud and crazy wild”. Today we know that this was (and is) metal par excellence. And we also know that ACCEPT opened the door to thrash metal, inspiring giants such as Metallica. Guitarist Kirk Hammett recently stated in the German magazine “Gitarre & Bass”: “Wolf Hoffmann has a huge influence on me.“ ACCEPT, who once had their origins in the city of Solingen, a city of sound, have been a worldwide music phenomenon for more than 40 years. They still impress with razor-sharp guitar licks and a steel-hard sound.
