			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trumpet sensation <strong>Chris Botti</strong>, known for effortlessly crossing boundaries between<br />
pop and classical, jazz and rock, will bring his chart-topping talents to the <strong>Orange County Performing Arts Center</strong> for a special one-night-only concert <strong>Sunday, January 8, 2011</strong> in Segerstrom Hall. A gifted instrumentalist, talented composer, charismatic performer and former trumpeter for Sting, Botti has risen to new heights of popularity with his critically acclaimed CDs, Live in Boston, December and Italia. Botti’s performance is being offered as a Bonus Event in the Center’s 2010-11 Jazz Series.</p>
<div style="float:right; padding-left: 15px;">
<a href="http://www.allyourjazz.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/images/botti.jpg"><img src="http://www.allyourjazz.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/images/botti-150x150.jpg" alt="botti" title="botti" width="150" height="150" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-3556" /></a>
</div>
<p>Since the release of his 2004 critically acclaimed CD <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002VL0K6?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B0002VL0K6">When I Fall in Love</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B0002VL0K6" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, Botti (pronounced boat-tee) has become the largest selling American instrumental artist. His success has crossed over to audiences usually reserved for pop music and his ongoing association with PBS has led to four No.1 Jazz Albums, as well as multiple Gold, Platinum &#038; Grammy Awards.</p>
<p>The New York Times said about Botti, <em>“It&#8217;s easy to like trumpeter Chris Botti. &#8230; an image of pensive<br />
romance, achieving stardom in the realm of adult-contemporary pop &#8230; Mr. Botti&#8217;s sumptuous, limpid<br />
instrumental voice was the focus of the show.&#8221;</em></p>
<h4>Ticket Info</h4>
<p>Tickets to Chris Botti start at $46 and are now available online at OCPAC.org, at the Center’s Box Office<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sara Gazarek</strong> and <strong>Sachal Vasandani</strong> are two of today’s brightest young jazz artists, and they will combine their formidable talents to open the <strong>Orange County Performing Arts Center</strong>’s <strong>2010-2011 Jazz Series September 24th and 25th</strong> in Samueli Theater. Each are creating jazz music that moves today’s generation. </p>
<p>Singer/songwriter Gazarek is known for seamlessly mingling her uniquely intimate style with the musical and improvisational elements of jazz while Vasandani is simply one of the hottest jazz vocalists/songwriters/bandleaders working today. Recently, Vasandani won the 2010 DownBeat Critics Poll for best Male Jazz Vocals in the Rising Star category. And Gazarek was voted one of the Best New Artists in the JazzTimes Readers Poll.</p>

</div>
<h4>Sara Gazarek</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.allyourjazz.com/2010/09/interview-with-jazz-vocalist-sara-gazarek/">(Listen To Interview)</a></p>
<p>Gazarek is a talented young artist on an amazing musical journey who has emerged as a strikingly original artist with limitless potential. In a follow up to Yours, Gazarek’s widely hailed 2005 debut focusing on American Songbook standards, she delivers a sensational sophomore effort with Return to You. Born and raised in Seattle, Gazarek grew up without much exposure to jazz. </p>
<p>Her preliminary jazz education started during high school and as a senior, she was awarded the first-ever Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation Outstanding Jazz Vocalist Award at the Essentially Ellington Festival in New York City.</p>
<p>She studied at the prestigious Thornton School of Music at USC. In 2003, Gazarek was awarded the 2003 Downbeat Student Music Award for Best Collegiate Vocalist. Shortly after the publication hit the press, she was asked to perform with Oleta Adams, Karrin Allyson, and Diane Schuur as the “as yet undiscovered talent” on the Concord Jazz Festival Tour. Simultaneously, Gazarek joined Barry Manilow, Allyson, and Schuur as a Stiletto Entertainment (management) client and was soon being booked by the industry giant, William Morris.</p>
<p>John Clayton, a mentor and teacher at USC, produced her first album, and insisted she develop the arrangements herself with the band she’d been performing with. She found musical soulmates in her group and the resulting record was a debut that was released to national and international rave reviews. It ranked in the Top 10 on the Billboard Traditional Jazz Charts, Top 10 on the iTunes top Jazz Album Downloads (US, UK, Switzerland, and Belgium), No. 1 on the iTunes Top Jazz Album Downloads (Germany, France), No. 5 on the Jazz Week Radio Charts, No. 4 on the HMV (Japan) chart. In addition, Gazarek was voted the No. 3 Best New Artist in the JazzTimes Readers Poll. saragazarek.com</p>
<h4>Sachal Vasandani</h4>
<p>Vasandani’s sophomore CD, We Move, on Mack Avenue Records was produced with a team of top-flight studio sages (John Clayton, Doug Wamble and Al Pryor). We Move finds Vasandani (who also serves as a producer) maturing as songwriter, tune stylist and bandleader in the wake of his breakout 2007 debut, Eyes Wide Open (Mack Avenue Records).</p>
<p>Vasandani was born in Chicago and grew up in a household where all kinds of music was appreciated. In pursuing his love for music at the University of Michigan, he began to be recognized as a talent of the future, most notably by DownBeat magazine, which awarded him Collegiate Jazz Vocalist of the Year in 1999.</p>
<p>After moving to New York, Vasandani quickly became a part of the jazz scene, and made a musical home in storied clubs like the Zinc Bar. And after the release of his breakthrough debut recording, he toured extensively supporting Eyes Wide Open. He opened for such disparate artists from jazz trumpeter Chris Botti to pop singer Joan Osborne.</p>
<p>On We Move, Vasandani has ample support from his trio comprised of pianist Jeb Patton, bassist David Wong and drummer Quincy Davis. The band has been a group since 2001. Vasandani notes that in addition to their instrumental support, two band members also contributed songs, including Patton’s “Horizons” that is paired with the romping, upswing “Once in a While” (by Michael Edwards and Bud Green) and Davis composed the music on “Ring Road (Back to You).”</p>
<p>In addition to his originals, Vasandani puts his spin on songs from the jazz songbook and canon,including Rodgers &#038; Hart’s “There’s a Small Hotel” with a Vasandani intro (“Escape”) that gives the standard a fresh feel. Also on the CD are “No More,” the Hubert Laws/Jon Hendricks ‘70s song; the Bloom/Kohler tune “Don’t Worry About Me;” “Poinciana;” “There Are Such Things” (by Stanley Adams, Abel Baer, George W. Meyer); “The River of St. Marie” by Joe Williams; and Thelonious Monk’s “Monk&#8217;s Dream” (with lyrics by Hendricks). sachalvasandani.com</p>

<p><strong>Al Williams</strong>—drummer, entrepreneur and promoter of jazz—has a well-earned reputation as a musical mover and shaker. Williams was born in Pasadena, California, and his love affair with music began at the age of eight when he began studying the clarinet. During high school, he played in the school band, the Boys’ Club Concert Band, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Youth Band. At the age of seventeen, he finally convinced his parents to let him pursue and develop his interest in playing drums, which has continued to be his main musical love. </p>
<p>While in college, Williams organized his first band, The Modern Jazz Majors, and their enthusiastically-received performances at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach launched him into the beginnings of a music career, a career that ultimately branched off into two directions—an entrepreneurial /promotional direction, and, of course, the development of his own musical artistry as a drummer and band leader.</p>
<p>As a band leader, he has three well-received recordings to his credit. <em>Sandance</em> and <em>Let’s Celebrate</em>, bring together international favorites like Grammy Winner <strong>Poncho Sanchez, Roy Ayers, The Jazz Crusaders’ Wayne Henderson, and vocalist Barbara Morrison</strong>, and his latest <em>Meeting At The Crossroads</em>. </p>

<p><strong>Mike Stern</strong> got his start as a guitar player with Blood, Sweat &#038; Tears at age 22. He moved to New York City, where he was recruited by <strong>Miles Davis</strong> to play in Miles&#8217; celebrated comeback band of 1981. During his three-year period with Miles, Stern appeared on three recordings with the jazz maestro &#8211; Man with the Horn, Star People and the live We Want Miles. He toured with Jaco Pastorius&#8217; Word of Mouth Band from 1983 through 1985 and returned to Miles&#8217; lineup for a second tour of duty that lasted close to a year.</p>
<p>In 1985, Stern recorded <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000244SAM?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B000244SAM"target="new">Neesh</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B000244SAM" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, his first recording as a leader, for the Japan-based Trio label. A year later, he made his debut on Atlantic with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TTM26A?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B002TTM26A"target="new">Upside Downside</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B002TTM26A" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, featuring such celebrated colleagues as David Sanborn, Jaco Pastorius, saxophonist Bob Berg, bassists Mark Egan and Jeff Andrews, keyboardist Mitch Forman and drummers Dave Weckl and Steve Jordan. Over the next two years, Stern was a member of Michael Brecker&#8217;s potent quintet, appearing on Don&#8217;t Try This At Home.</p>
<p><br ></p>
<p>The 90&#8217;s was a good time for Stern, producing many of his most classic and favorite albums still being enjoyed today. His acclaimed 1993 release, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001200U9I?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001200U9I"target="new">Standards</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B001200U9I" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, earned him the pick of Best Jazz Guitarist of the Year by the readers and critics of Guitar Player magazine. He followed that up with two hard hitting offerings &#8211; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OGRJC6?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001OGRJC6">Is What It Is</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B001OGRJC6" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> (1994) and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PJ5U32?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001PJ5U32"target="new">Between The Lines</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B001PJ5U32" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> (1996) &#8211; both of which scored Grammy nominations. In 1997, he recorded <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00122V4E6?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B00122V4E6"target="new">Give And Take</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B00122V4E6" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> with bassist <strong>John Patitucci</strong>, drummer Jack DeJohnette, percussionist Don Alias and special guests <strong>Michael Brecker</strong> and David Sanborn.  </p>
<p>Stern&#8217;s ninth release for Atlantic was a six-string summit with colleagues <strong>Bill Frisell</strong> and John Scofield that was appropriately titled <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OGTNNO?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001OGTNNO"target="new">Play</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B001OGTNNO" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.

Stern received his 4th Grammy nomination for the 2006 release <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00150XGF0?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B00150XGF0"target="new">Who Let The Cats Out?</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B00150XGF0" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  Stern joined the renowned Yellowjackets for Lifecycle, which was nominated for a Grammy for <strong>Best Contemporary Jazz Album</strong> in 2008.  </p>
<p><br ></p>
<p>In <strong>August 2009</strong>, Stern released his most recent album, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KBGKUG?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B002KBGKUG"target="new">Big Neighborhood</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B002KBGKUG" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />. Aiding him in this latest chapter in his never-ending quest for the new and better groove is a long list of talented guests: guitarists Steve Vai and Eric Johnson; bassist-vocalists Esperanza Spalding and Richard Bona; jamband godfathers Medeski Martin & Wood; drummers Dave Weckl, Terri Lyne Carrington, Cindy Blackman and Lionel Cordew; bassists Chris Minh Doky and Lincoln Goines, saxophonists Bob Franceschini and Bob Malach, trumpeter Randy Brecker and keyboardist/producer Jim Beard.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Child prodigies don&#8217;t always live up to their early promise. Pianist <strong>Eldar Djangirov</strong> (known simply as Eldar), on the other hand, has only soared higher and higher. A decade since catching the attention of Dr. Billy Taylor as an 11-year-old whizkid, Eldar is a veteran touring artist with his fourth major-label release, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LHCQHK?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B002LHCQHK"target="new">Virtue</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B002LHCQHK" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> (2009). With his trio, Eldar will perform at <strong>Catalina&#8217;s</strong> in <strong>Los Angeles, October 29th-November 1st</strong>.</p>
<hr />
<h4>Artist Info</h4>
<div style="float:right; padding-left; 15px;">
<a href="http://www.allyourjazz.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/images/eldar.jpg"><img src="http://www.allyourjazz.com/wp-content/themes/mimbo2.2/images/eldar.jpg" alt="eldar" title="eldar" width="200" height="130" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2783" /></a>
</div>
<p>Kyrgyzstan prodigy <strong>Eldar Djangirov</strong> took an interest in the piano at age three, began serious studies while still in elementary school, catching the ear of Dr. Billy Taylor at 11. After appearing with Taylor on CBS Sunday Morning, Eldar and his family relocated to Kansas City where he could pursue his interest in jazz through studies with local musicians and at Interlochen. </p>
<p>Still in his early teens, he went on to win top prizes at the 2001 <strong>Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival</strong> and the 2002 <strong>Peter Nero Piano Competition</strong>; in 2004 he appeared on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz, her youngest guest ever (at the time). </p>
<p>Following two well-received independent releases (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NAV46G?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B000NAV46G"target="new">Handprints</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B000NAV46G" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, 2003 and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00138F3PA?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B00138F3PA"target="new">Eldar</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B00138F3PA" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, 2005), Eldar signed with Sony Classical in 2004, releasing another Eldar featuring John Patitucci and Michael Brecker.  Next came Live at the Blue Note with Roy Hargrove and Chris Botti, earning four stars from Downbeat and the review, “Few musicians on any axe swing like Eldar&#8230;his groove is intense and overwhelming. It’s not the flash and fire that should stir interest in Eldar. It’s what he does when the razzle-dazzle dies down and we sense substance within and beyond his pyrotechnics.” The New York Times also noted his “formidable technique wedded to a mature grasp of musical structure.” </p>
<p>In 2008, his third Sony release, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PA9Q6O?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B000PA9Q6O"target="new">Re-Imagination</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B000PA9Q6O" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Jazz Album, topped for the award by Herbie Hancock’s River. Here Eldar moved away from strictly acoustic arrangements with electronics and the programming of DJ Logic. Noted Paula Edelstein (JazzUSA.com), “With the release of Re-imagination&#8230; jazz pianist Eldar documents his transition from youthful prodigy to a creative artist with something to say.” </p>

<h4>About The Artist</h4>
<p><strong>Spencer Day</strong>, a uniquely American singer/songwriter, has been enjoying a remarkable musical career. The release of his much anticipated third CD, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002F24SEK?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=alyoja-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B002F24SEK"target="new">Vagabond</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alyoja-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B002F24SEK" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, is his most ambitious and accomplished musical endeavor to date. It spotlights his own distinctively expressive style of American contemporary music, a blend of jazz, pop, soul and folk. His smooth baritone voice interprets his original compositions with compassion and a touch of humor. The album sets the tone for the 21st-century American Songbook.</p>
<p>In New York City, Spencer received rave reviews in Time Out and Backstage magazines, having performed to enthusiastic audiences at the Town Hall, Joe’s Pub, and the Canal Room. He has headlined at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, The Sheldon Concert Hall in St Louis, and the Dakota in Minneapolis.</p>
<p>Spencer recently opened for Rufus Wainwright at the Napa Valley Opera House and appeared at both the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Tanglewood Jazz Festival, by the invitation of Jazz legend Marian McPartland in celebration of her 90th birthday.</p>
