The Jazz Gallery: Sasha Berliner
2024-06-27 19:30 - 23:30
The show involves a new instrumentation that Sasha has not yet explored in live settings, so it will end up as an inventive experiment in sound and collaboration. Sasha will be debuting new music from her upcoming third studio album, as well as brand new compositions that have yet to be recorded. It is best described as contemporary jazz meets warped tape loops and modular effects.
Sasha Berliner is a musician, composer, producer, and band leader from San Francisco, CA. Sasha got her major start on the NYC scene, shortly after moving there to attend The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, when she debuted at NYC Winter Jazz Fest in 2018, followed soon after by Atlanta Jazz Fest and Burlington Jazz Fest in the same year. Sasha was the also first US recipient of the LetterOne “Rising Stars” Jazz Award in 2019, where she headlined 10 reputable jazz festival throughout the U.S. And Canada. This gave Sasha her her first official foray in to touring as a band leader and facilitated the creation of her debut album, “Azalea” (2019). Shortly after, Sasha was named the 2020 Downbeat Critics’ Poll winner of the “Rising Star – Vibraphone” category. She was both the first woman, and at 21, was the youngest individual in the poll’s history to be granted the win. This is also around the time Sasha first performed with musicians such as Nicholas Payton and Tyshawn Sorey, who later recorded that sextet on an album entitled “Unfiltered” (2019). Sasha’s music work remains primarily based in New York City and Los Angeles after receiving her Bachelor’s degree from The New School. She has gone on to headline international venues like Newport Jazz Festival, The Blue Note, Portland Jazz Festival, Xjazz Berlin Jazz Festival, Transition Festival in Utrecht, and Monterey Jazz Festival. She has also commissioned works for Modern Marimba (Sarasota, FL) and the SWR NewJAZZ Meeting (Baden-Baden, Germany) as artist in residence for fall 2021, which resulted in her suite of live music entitled “Tabula Rasa”. In addition to performing with her own band, her recent notable performances have been with musicians such as Christian McBride, Justin Brown, Marcus Gilmore, Gerald Clayton, Pedro Martins, and Cecile McLorin Salvant. She was a guest lecturer at esteemed universities like University of Champaign-Illinois, UC San Diego, Berklee College of Music, and University of Denver, before taking a part time position teaching Jazz Ensemble and Composition at University of California Irvine and California University of the Arts. Her last studio album, “Onyx”, featuring musicians such as Jaleel Shaw and James Francies, was released on JMI Recordings under the partial guidance of Steve Mandel, the music director for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and past producer/engineer at Electric Lady Studios. The album was #1 on Jazzwise’s “Charting the Jazz Message” chart and Bandcamp Daily for best jazz albums of November 2022, Editor’s Pick for Jazzis, and voted one of the best jazz albums of the year by UK Vibe, Textura, Jazz Vinyl Collector, the 17th Annual Francis Davis Jazz Poll, and Jazzis (honorable mention). Sasha has been awarded grants from NYFA, Mid Atlantic Arts’s Jazz Road, University of California Irvine, and The Louis Armstrong Foundation to fund her ongoing artistic endeavors. She is currently working on her third studio album, “Axial”, which encompasses her dual influence of the west and east coast jazz scenes and delves into new post production techniques and electronic infusions more than her past two studio albums.

The Jazz Gallery: Nasheet Waits: Blood Brothers
2024-06-28 19:30 - 2024-06-29 23:30
NASHEET WAITS, drummer/music educator, is a New York native. His interest in playing the drums was encouraged by his father, legendary percussionist, Frederick Waits. Over the course of his career, Freddie Waits played with such legendary artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Sonny Rollins, Max Roach, McCoy Tyner, and countless others.
Nasheet’s college education began at Morehouse in Atlanta, GA, where he majored in Psychology and History. Deciding that music would be his main focus, he continued his college studies in New York at Long Island University, where he graduated with honors, receiving his Bachelor of Arts in Music. While attending Long Island University, Waits studied privately with renowned percussionist, Michael Carvin. Carvin’s tutelage provided a vast foundation upon which Waits added influences from his father, as well as mentor Max Roach. It was Max that first gave Nasheet’s formidable talent international spotlight, hiring him as a member of the famed percussion ensemble M’BOOM. One highlight of Nasheet’s tenure with M’BOOM was the live concert performance of M’BOOM with special guests Tony Williams and Ginger Baker.
Nasheet’s talent came to the attention of reedman Antonio Hart, who asked Waits to originate the percussion chair of his first quintet. Waits remained a standing member of Antonio’s various ensembles, recording three albums and touring nationally and internationally in noted venues, jazz festivals, as well as live television and radio performances. Nasheet remained a member of Antonio’s group through 1998.
Most recently Nasheet has been a member of Andrew Hill’s various bands, Jason Moran’s Bandwagon, and Fred Hersch’s trio. As an originating member of pianist Jason Moran’s Bandwagon, Jason, bassist Tarus Mateen, and Nasheet have been deemed, “the most exciting rhythm section in jazz” by JazzTimes, The 2001 recording “Black Stars” with the Bandwagon, featuring Sam Rivers was named the “Best CD of 2001” in (Jazz Times, Jan 2002) and “The New York Times”.Nasheet’s recording and performing discography is a veritable who’s who in Jazz, boasting stints with jazz notables such as Geri Allen, Mario Bauza, Hamiett Bluiett, Abraham Burton, Ron Carter, Marc Cary, Steve Coleman, Stanley Cowell, Orrin Evans, Stefon Harris, Andrew Hill, Bill Lee, Jackie McLean, The Mingus Big Band, The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Greg Osby, Joshua Redman, Vanessa Rubin, Antoine Roney, Wallace Roney, Jacky Terrason, Bunky Green, and Mark Turner. Waits has recorded and toured extensively in Africa, Europe, Japan, Canada, South America and the United States.
Amidst his performing, recording and touring activity, Nasheet teaches private lessons to youth and adults, stressing a personal approach to the drums and music. He has been heralded for his musicality and creativity by such virtuosos as Ed Thigpen, Max Roach, Andrew Hill, and Stanley Cowell . True to his personal philosophy of the necessity to balance Tradition and Modernism, Waits collaborates and performs regularly with a wide range of artists. He remains dedicated to exploring his role and creative path in music.

Carnegie Hall Citywide at Madison Square Park: JACK Quartet
2024-07-17 18:00 - 19:15
This July, in conjunction with Rose B. Simpson’s exhibition Seed, Carnegie Hall plans a stunning range of free outdoor concerts on the Oval Lawn of Madison Square Park as musicians take the stage. Join us for an evening performance by the Grammy Award–nominated JACK Quartet.
The New York Times calls the JACK Quartet, “one of contemporary music’s indispensable ensembles,” renowned for expansive programming of twentieth- and twenty-first century string music. Planned in collaboration with the Cuban-born visionary composer Tania León, the program features music by American composers who redefine string quartet repertoire. Ruth Crawford Seeger’s String Quartet 1931 reimagines rhythm and harmony, still sounding fresh almost a century later. Gabriella Smith’s Carrot Revolution (2015) is a thoroughly modern patchwork of “wildly contrasting influences,” weaving elements including J. S. Bach, Celtic fiddle tunes, and The Who. Amy Williams’s new work, Tangled Madrigals, offers a contemporary interpretation of medieval hockets—a dazzling technique in the hands of a string quartet—while the pioneering George Lewis stretches the quartet to its virtuosic limits in a 2022 JACK commission.

Jewell House NYC: 'Isn't It Too Pretty?' Featuring Fanyu Lin
2024-07-17 19:00 - 21:00
ISN’T IT TOO PRETTY?’ – A JEWELL HOUSE ART EVENT AND CONVERSATION FEATURING FANYU LIN
DATE: Wednesday, July 17th
TIME 7pm-9pm
Please join us on July 17 from 7-9 p.m. at the Jewell House to celebrate the exhibition “hOMe”: Breathe in — Breathe out — curated by Lina Takeuchi, showcasing Fanyu Lin’s recent paintings.
The evening will feature a conversation with the artist Fanyu Lin, alongside Richard Vine, esteemed art critic and former Managing Editor of Art in America magazine, and Fei Bo, entrepreneur, investor and Executive Director of the Asian Family Legacy Foundation.
We look forward to seeing you on this beautiful evening of artistic and intellectual exploration!
Isn’t It Too Pretty?
Can a picture be too pleasing? Why is pure visual pleasure so often regarded as suspect by the advocates of serious art? These are some of the questions raised by the abstract paintings of Fanyu Lin, an emerging artist who presents her flowing gestural compositions as part of a holistic way-of-being. Equal parts therapeutic artist, writer, architect, Lin melds the ancient Chinese notion of the artist as sage with the historic Western model of the artist as engaged community member—thereby creating her own surprisingly up-to-date aesthetic. Is her work “merely decorative,” as skeptics in the Modernist and Postmodernist vein might contend? Or does her art offer a richly conflicted but ultimately reassuring response to contemporary issues, both social and individual? These questions and more will be addressed by Lin in her public conversation with art critic Richard Vine and entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist Fei Bo.

Jewell House NYC: Find Your Summer Glow: Breathing, Chakra Activation and Beauty Tips with Reiki & Elixirs
2024-07-18 18:30 - 20:00
FIND YOUR SUMMER GLOW: BREATHING, CHAKRA ACTIVATION AND BEAUTY TIPS WITH REIKI & ELIXIRS
THIS IS OUR REIKI MASTER DARIA’S MONTHLY HEALERS COLLABORATION SERIES : THIS MONTH WE HAVE TWO GUESTS: MAKE UP ARTIST ATSUKO/ EPIPHANY & CHRISTINA IONNO.
1.5 HOURS PRICE: $55/ PERSON
Date: JULY 18th, Thursday
TIME: 6:30pm-8pm
The event includes:
We’ll begin with breath work with Christina Ionno and Chakra Activation with epiphany Chakra Oil by Atsuko. Choose your elixir from ANIMA MUNDI, combined with your choice of crystal-infused water (we have five different kinds). Atsuko will share information about crystals and their effects, while Daria provides REIKI to individuals in the circle. We’ll end with a Q&A session about makeup and REIKI. Meditation cushions and floor mats will be available for everyone to use.
What is Reiki? The word “Reiki” has already existed in the late 19th century in Japan to describe Spiritual Life Force Energy that is applied for healing. Man called Dr. Usui established a method to gather that life force energy after rigorous spiritual and buddhism studies and practices. He had a healing clinic and helped a number of people. Dr. Usui and his disciples established the Reiki treatment method over the years. Now, more and more people are attuned to Reiki and experiencing it. Because Reiki is not like an organized Religion, it’s interpreted much more freely and adapted to global cultures, it does feel more flexible. Similar healing methods have been in existence for ages all over the world wherever human cultures exist. Many manuals mention that Reiki is Uni-versal but plenty of people who experience Reiki feel Multi- versal realities. The way that accesses your past and future, places, other-worldly visions and sensations in a moment shows us that Reiki is about limitless potential.
About Daria Born in Kyoto, grew up in Yokohama, Japan. I spent my youth days admiring modern art and daydreaming. Plenty of years have passed since I moved to the US. I started to study Reiki when we all had chaotic experiences in the US, especially in NYC in 2001. When I joined a group session for the very first time, as soon as a Reiki practitioner started run the Reiki, I felt a jolt of electric current and vision of a spark flying out of my chest area. I became more curious to find what that’s all about and eventually got certified as a Reiki master/teacher in 2002. Over the years, I have added Kundalini Reiki, Green Tara Seichim, Silver Violet Flame, and Access Bars and other energy works to my practice. When I’m not doing energy work, I like to cook, bake, ferment, forage, homebrew and balcony gardening. Check out my Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dariaarao/ About Atsuko: Born in 1980, After graduating from OMULA Beauty College with her major in the make-up course,Atsuko started working as a PR specialist in an apparel company. In 2004, she joined FORUM MAKE-UP SCHOOL to strengthen her proficiency in make-up fields further. Her career as an independent make-up artist, having worked as a make-up assistant, unfolded into various fields such as advertisement, TV commercials, fashion catalogs, and so on. Her experience as a teacher in her workshop and make-up lesson for clients is also fully utilized. Atsuko believes in the make-up that makes the most of the individuality, personality, taste, and charm of the model and takes a holistic approach towards beauty, utilizing her experience in fashion, apparel fields combined with her knowledge and technique in make-up. Her interest and specialty extend to beauty from within: with in-depth knowledge of organic cosmetics and physical /spiritual well-being, she helps her client achieve beauty inside-out. And she got qualified as a healing aroma advisor, medical aroma instructor and perfumer. In 2020, she started “epiphany” a scent brand that uses essential oils and crystals.

Webber/Morris Big Band, now in its ninth season, rejuvenates the legacy of jazz big band with performances of adventurous new works for curious audiences. Co-leaders Anna Webber and Angela Morris compose vital, innovative repertoire that incorporates a jazz lineage with the extended techniques of modern improvisers and the compositional breadth of new music. Their debut album, Both Are True, was released in 2020 to critical acclaim, including being named as one of the top ten jazz albums of 2020 by the New York Times. Performances celebrate the unique current of jazz musicians in Brooklyn, as fluent in exacting notated music as a variety of improvisational languages.
The band heads into the studio directly after this concert at the Jazz Gallery, which will feature Anna Webber’s Just Intonation suite for big band and the NY premiere of a new piece by Morris.
