"Ohad Talmor's latest project, his aptly named "NewsReel" 5tet, is your answer if you ever had any doubt about what directions New York's current forward thinking generation of musicians is heading toward: beyond styles or genres, these five musicians own such a wide vocabulary, ranging from any form of Jazz to contemporary Classical or classical Indian music and deliver it with such mastery and honesty that you know the future is here, and it is exciting again !"

Molecules have shapes, and their geometries determine ultimately their every chemical, physical and biological property. Tiny electrons, scooting around the much bulkier atoms, and governed by the lovely logic of quantum mechanics, actually tell those big guys how to arrange themselves.

An expert on la liaison chimique, Odile Eisenstein of the University of Montpellier, France, takes us by the hand into the world of molecular shapes, from the simple tetrahedron of methane to the less intuitive world of molecules containing metal atoms. Gerard Parkin, who is rumored to make a living studying such molecules, will do some non-electronic magic. And making shapes, exploring different forms of holding energy together, sometimes in "nonintuitive" ways, will also be expressed in the music of Todd Capp and his quartet (Todd, Bryan Eubanks, Andrew Lafkas, and Joe Giardullo).

“Milne and his band Dapp Theory are masters of understatement. … there’s a balance to the music that is tenuous when considered intellectually, but just plain funky when considered physically.”
-Jake TenPas – Albany Democratic Herald

“There's an energy and a passion in their work that transcends genre…”
- Luciana Lopez – The Oregonian

Timucin Sahin has been recognized as one of today’s truly unique voices of contemporary jazz music by publications such as San Francisco Bay Guardian, AllaboutJazz, Jazzwise and Jazz-Times as well as by many others.

Over the past years, Sahin shared the the stage with musicians such as Randy Brecker, Greg Osby, Mark Turner, Mike Mainieri and many more and won numerous prizes. Both his compositions and his playing on his double-neck guitar – his trademark – radiate an incomparable individualism. His music sounds compassionate, melodic, almost melancholic at times, only to break out into wild, rock-influenced energy in the next moment. You hear an ingenious amalgam of contemporary chamber music,jazz,non-western music influences.

His very rare chamber music works are known for their intense progressivity.He has been commissioned by and composed for Amsterdam Percussion Group,Jorge Isaac,Verso as well as his own chamber group "Occult" which is based in Netherlands.

Sahin will be presenting his latest record "Bafa" on the 4 th of november which features John O' Gallagher,one of the most unique alto saxaphonist in NY scene,Thomas Morgan on bass who is extremely versitile and established in the scene at a very young age, and Tyshawn Sorey on drums who has experienced a meteoric career over the past years and one of the most exiting drummer of our times.

“From Turkey comes Timucin Sahin with his music that shows how far away from the American tradition jazz has drifted, all the while remaining vibrant and true to its essence.”

With her latest indie EP In The City + In The Woods, Tracy Bonham show us her sensitive side. This is an EP mostly made up of acoustic performances where she plays every instrument, sometimes shifting from guitar to violin and back again in one song. With the help of loops and effect pedals Bonham creates an exciting and creative musical landscape for her songs to exist. Along with these performances is a studio recording of a mixed up cover song; Beyonce's "Crazy In Love". "Who knew there would be a Klezmer-swing version of this song?" says Bonham. "The idea came to me because I thought I had heard it playing in a restaurant over the noise of people dining and talking. Turns out it was my imagination. I figured it must be a sign to do it myself".

Bonham has performed on TV shows such as The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Late Late with Craig Fergusson, A & E's Breakfast For The Arts, and Saturday Night Special with Roseanne Barr. Her songs have recently been played on TV shows such as What About Brian, Brothers and Sisters, The L Word, The Closer, AMC Network, and Rockstar Supernova.

Currently Tracy is writing, recording, and string arranging in Brooklyn and Woodstock, NY.
