So drop in! You may also register at the Portland Shambhala website.

SUMMARY:Lady Be Good: Instrumental Women in Jazz
DESCRIPTION:The International Sweethearts of Rhythm. The Syncoettes. Carol Kaye. The substantial contributions of woman to jazz music have been largely ignored by history\, but their significant role is one that can no longer be denied. LADY BE GOOD reveals the lost stories of female jazz musicians from the early 1920s to the 1970s. Ray’s proud film charts the influence of female players from the struggles and successes of early innovators (Sweet Emma Barrett\, Lil Hardin- Armstrong)\, through the rise of the all-woman big bands (Ina Ray Hutton & Her Melodears\, the Hollywood Redheads)\, to the female musicians that were instrumental players (Dorothy Donegan\, Mary Osborne) and arrangers (Mary Lou Williams\, Melba Liston) for more famous male band leaders\, including Benny Goodman and Quincy Jones. (80 mins.) \nDirector Kay Ray in attendance.\nSponsored by KMHD

SUMMARY:Missa Gaia Earth Mass
DESCRIPTION:Please join me for what is sure to be a moving event in support of The Friends of the Columbia Gorge. The music brings together the sounds of Nature (howling wolves\, humpback whales and others) with the sounds of blended voices\, soprano sax\, cello\, English horn and an exuberant rhythm section! \nA local festival community chorus of 65 voices\, directed by Susan Peck\, will present Paul Winter’s Missa Gaia/Earth Mass on August 24\, to benefit local non-profit Friends of the Columbia Gorge. The music celebrates the sacred beauty of Mother Earth and all her creatures with chorus\, solo voices\, chamber ensemble\, pipe organ\, rhythm section\, world-beat percussion\, and the voices of timber wolves\, harp seals\, humpback whales\, thrushes and loons. \nThis project is partly supported by a community participation project grant from RACC (Regional Arts and Culture Council). Peck has assembled a community chorus with singers from several local churches and community choirs including Portland Gay Men’s Chorus\, Portland Lesbian Chorus\, Aurora Chorus\, Satori\, Portland Peace Choir\, Sing Portland\, and PDX Vox. Singers in the choir have explored the Gorge on a number of hikes\, and were filmed by MetroEast Community Media as they serenaded Wahkeena Falls with excerpts from the concert. http://speckletone.com/missa_gaia_hikes \nVocal soloists are Lauri Jones (New Thought Center for Spiritual Living\, Cabaret Chanteuse) and Dustin Hunley (First Unitarian Church).
