Saturday December 4th, Alt-Country Band VISIONS is planning a very special evening filled with grandious performances from good friends and good people at the Lily Pad Art Gallery in Cambridge MA.

The evening will also feature performances from our dear friends: Jenny Tuite (Dirty Dishes), Grass is Green, Tamsin Wilson, and Kevin D.
Admission to the show will include a copy of the record, or to get the record now for free visit visions.bandcamp.com
VISIONS is an alt country band from Boston, MA led by songwriter T.J. Petracca that originated as the kerouac inspired folk band Visions of Cody. Their debut album Re:VISIONS was recorded by producer Mark Leombruni and mastering engineer Jeff Lipton (Arcade Fire, Wilco, Spoon.) The album is a ten song concept record that chronicles a sour love affair that spirals out of control and completely engulfs a writer, until he decides the only way he can ever write about anything else is to bury his Cody.

Berklee Global Jazz Institute
The Berklee Global Jazz Institute (BGJI) is a performance program designed to foster creativity and musicianship through various musical disciplines, with pianist and composer Danilo Pérez as its artistic director. The BGJI provides a comprehensive contemporary music environment where students are given opportunities to explore their creativity to the highest level possible, advance the power of music as a tool for the betterment of society, and connect musical creative thinking with the natural environment.
Danilo Pérez ’88, Artistic Director
The Grammy Award–winning pianist and composer Danilo Pérez is among the most influential and dynamic musicians of our time. In just over a decade, his distinctive blend of Pan-American jazz, covering the music of the Americas, folkloric, and world music, has attracted critical acclaim and loyal audiences. Whether leading his own ensembles or touring with renowned jazz masters (Wayne Shorter, Roy Haynes, Steve Lacy), Pérez is making a decidedly fresh imprint on contemporary music, guided, as always, by his love for jazz. Born in Panama in 1965, Pérez went to Berklee in the 1980s and has led his own groups since the early 1990s. As a bandleader, he has earned three Grammy nominations for his ebullient and innovative recordings. Pérez serves as the ambassador of goodwill for Unicef, cultural ambassador of Panama, president and founder of the Panama Jazz Festival, and a faculty member at Berklee College of Music. He has worked as a music educator for more than 20 years.
Marco Pignataro, Managing Director
Marco Pignataro is a multi-talented saxophonist, composer, educator, and jazz columnist. A native of Bologna, Italy, Pignataro has performed extensively across Europe and the Americas, sharing stages and clinics with artists such as Eddie Gomez, Oscar Stagnaro, Danilo Pérez, Arturo Sandoval, Ray Vega, Kenwood Dennard, Antonio Sanchez, Paquito D'Rivera, Billy Drummond, Clark Terry, Billy Hart, and Jon Faddis. Pignataro has, until recently, been the director of the Jazz and Caribbean Music Department and Jazz Saxophone chair at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico. At the conservatory, he developed the jazz saxophone curriculum, cofounded the bachelor of music in jazz and Caribbean music studies, and founded and directed the CMPR Jazz Faculty Ensemble and the CMPR Jazz Festival. His column, Style & Influence, was regularly featured in the quarterly magazine Jazz Improv. Pignataro was elected as an IAJE Executive Board Member of the International Association of Jazz Educators (IAJE), where he served as the first IAJE Latin America Representative and founder and president of the IAJE Chapter of Puerto Rico, the IAJE Latin American Ensemble, and the IAJE Puerto Rico Big Band. He is a RICO Performing Artist, as well as an endorser for Mauriat saxophones and the Applied Microphone Technology Wireless System.

7:30 PM Matt Wilson Christmas Tree-O
Jeff Lederer - saxophone & clarinet
Paul Sikivie - bass
Matt Wilson - drums
Traditions are ways for us to reconnect with events and times. Christmas is
a time of year when traditions are especially important for folks. I have
many that I enjoy. Decorating the tree, singing Christmas carols, going to
church on Christmas Eve, watching the children open their presents, watching
“It’s a Wonderful Life” and, when I was young, doing my best to have the
fortitude to eat a traditional Christmas dish of Sweden, lutefisk. My
brothers and I lovingly referred to it as fish jello. Creates quite a
culinary image right?
I am sure that you have many traditions at Christmas time
that are dear to your heart. We hope as you and your loved ones celebrate
the season that you will welcome a new tradition, the mellifluous sounds of
the Christmas Tree-O. So as you decorate, cook or motor to Grandma’s house,
allow this heartfelt music to lift your spirits and brighten your holiday
season.
10:00 PM Kelly Bartley

7:30 PM Melissa Kassel & Tom Zicarelli Group
Melissa Kassel – voice
Tom Zicarelli – piano
Bruno Raberg – bass
Phil Grenadier – trumpet
Gary Fieldman - Drums
On December 16th Melissa Kassel and Tom Zicarelli return to the Lily Pad for more mirth, music, and mayhem. Forget the shopping. Let the sounds and spirits lift your soul and light the darkest days of the year. Last month we heard new arrangements of Janis Joplin, George Gershwin, and a sleigh-load of original material. This month the group welcomes back percussionist Gary Fieldman along with Bassist Bruno Raberg and Trumpeter Phil Grenadier. Did somebody say Beethoven’s 240th birthday? "The Boston-based vocalist [Melissa Kassel] rarely, if ever, takes the standard approach to standards. Where the typical singer shouts, she might whisper; a passage usually taken quickly, she may stretch out like taffy. Yet it’s all in service to the improvisational moment being shared with her top-notch band: pianist Tom Zicarelli, trumpeter Phil Grenadier, and bassist Bruno Raberg." - Kevin Lowenthal, Boston Globe

8:00 PM PABLO ABLANEDO OCTETo
"Altogether, the sound is definitely jazz but distinctively Argentinean"
OCTETo:
Fernando Brandao (flutes)
Phil Grenadier (Trumpet)
Daniel Ian Smith (saxes)
Kelly Roberge (saxes & clarinet)
Eric Hofbauer (guitar)
Pablo Ablanedo (piano & composition)
Fernando Huergo (bass)
Austin McMahon (drums)
"With his latest effort, Argentine pianist/composer Pablo Ablanedo pronounces a sense of joy. In the liners the artist emphasizes that this work "alludes to the happiness of creation." To that end, Ablanedo and his octet disseminate a set of emotive musings via a Spanishtinged luster combined with polychordal horn charts and more." (4 ½ stars)
Glenn Astarita, Down Beat Magazine (US)
"Argentine composer Pablo Ablanedo makes a disarmingly gentle but firm debut notable more for his ascetic, introspective writing than his low-profile piano. This band plays the through-composed and chamber-like pieces understatedly rather than in-your-face, slowly unfolding a mature, inclusive world vision." (4 stars)
Fred Bouchard, Down Beat Magazine (US)
"...be sure that Pablo Ablanedo's work has its own personality: you will be pleased to listen and listen to From Down There.”
Claude Colpaert, Jazz Hot Magazine (France)
"It would be a mistake to pigeonhole the pianist/composer Pablo Ablanedo as a "Latin jazz artist”: the lush, complex weave of his writing for octet on the new Alegría (Fresh Sounds) has as much to do with Gil Evans as with the tangos of Ablanedo's fellow Argentine, Astor Piazzolla."

The Fringe are one of the genuine living treasures of the Boston jazz scene. Originally formed back in 1971 by tenor-saxophonist George Garzone, bassist Richard Appleman, and drummer Bob Gullotti as an outlet for their free jazz improvisations, The Fringe have entertained and enlightened Boston area jazz audiences for over 30 years. Bassist Appleman left the band in 1985 to become Chairman of the Bass Department at Berklee College and was replaced by veteran bassist John Lockwood.
Along with their impressive tenure with The Fringe, Gullotti, Garzone, and Lockwood are in great demand as session players and have played with many of the greats of contemporary jazz. Along with keeping up with a busy performance schedule, each of them are well-respected educators helping to inspire the jazz musicians of tomorrow.
