Spar and Automatic
Mary Margaret O’Hara voice Aidan Closs percussion Larry Potter vibraphone
Vocalist Mary Margaret O’Hara is adored by a legion of fans for her songs and fierce independence. It’s freedom she seeks and freedom she finds in improvising with her voice. Her duo project Spar and Automatic with multi-instrumentalist Aidan Closs finds O’Hara at the height of her powers as an artist, as they have developed such short-hand, such rapport with one another, so as not to let anything stop their dialogue of exploration through the abyss… joined by vibraphone master Larry Potter.

“The Ronley is quite a peculiar creature”… read her bio. We love The Ronley around here! A brilliant mish-mash of roots, folk cabaret, world, jazz, blues & electronica… like an old pair of silk slippers, Hamiltonians will slip into this sweet-voiced, inventive Toronto artist’s creative work, … of this, we’re certain… what exactly will happen on stage that night, we’re not so sure, as every night she creates a thing of one-off beauty!
Ronley Teper is one of Canada’s most unique and interesting musical artists. At once a storyteller, a performance artist, and a singer/songwriter, she combines these disciplines into provocative stage shows as a ringleader with the help of her improvisational band, The Lipliners. The Lipliners began as a monthly residency at the legendary Tranzac club in Toronto. Teper invited some of Toronto’s finest musicians to publicly improvise around her storytelling and songwriting. Over the past decade this process has developed a body of work that listeners often compare to Tom Waits, Frank Zappa and Laurie Anderson. This Summer Solstice the Lipliners will bring together the concept of space and time in an interactive, improvised stage show creating and contrasting the stories of the solstice experience from a series of modern times, pagan times, roman times, to just who knows what time… earth, water and fire. the coming of the Lipliners Circus of Solstice.
Born in South Africa, Teper grew up in Toronto. A self-taught musician, sheʼs been an active composer and member of the Toronto arts scene for over a decade. Sheʼs toured extensively through the US, Europe, and Canada, and receives airplay on CBC, BBC and college and university radio programs. In 2010, she was invited as a guest speaker at the first TEDx talks in Bangkok, Thailand. Here, she organized vocal improvisation music workshops for children in Bangkok International Schools, and performed throughout the country. She recently returned from an artist residency and tour in Reykjavik, Iceland and is composing music in collaboration with the puppet company ‘Quality Slippers Productions’ which will unveil its latest show, Exit, Pursuit By A Bear as part of the Summerworks Festival on Theatre Passe Murailleʼs Main stage

Chris was then accepted into the prestigious jazz program at the University of Toronto where he completed his undergraduate degree in jazz performance studying with Geoff Young, Gary Williamson and Chris Donnelly. Chris feels at home in a wide variety of genres and has performed in venues across Canada such as Edmonton’s Winspear Centre, the Rex Jazz Bar in Toronto, the Trane Studio, Koerner Hall and many more. His playing is mainly jazz based, but also includes many outside influences, allowing for a refreshing stylistic approach to the piano that showcases his sensitivity, creativity, and energetic spirit all at once. Now at the age of 25 Chris is beginning to make a name for himself in the Canadian jazz scene and is collaborating with and learning from some of the best musicians in Toronto.
Brass generalist, composer, arranger, and singer-songwriter Ben Bowen studied jazz trumpet at York University and Humber College, and completed his Honours Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at York in 2009.

D.Alex Meeks is a percussionist by common distinction. His hands make the clatter in tintinnabulist parade duo King Weather, bastard chamber ensemble Clarinet Panic, and the rock and roll group Hooded Fang. He is a friend of the word, the foremost living performer of the vernacular compositions of American musician Holiday Rambler, and the defacto proprietor of Dust, the quietest big band in the known world.

Space is the Place Double-Bill: Sun Rooms & Intersteller Orchestra
(Chicago/Oslo)
Sun Rooms
Jason Adasiewicz vibraphone Mike Reed drums Ingebrigt Håker Flaten bass
The Chicago group Sun Rooms formed in 2008 with Nate McBride playing bass, first experimenting as a free improvising trio and later focused attention on arranging tunes that Adasiewicz wrote during his wife’s first pregnancy in the summer of 2009.
Delmark Records released the band’s records Sun Rooms in 2010 and Spacer in 2011 to critical acclaim including: The New York Times Ben Ratliff’s Top 10 Pop and Jazz Records of 2010, The Village Voice Top 50 Jazz Records of 2010, The Chicago Tribune Howard Reich’s Top 10 Jazz Records of 2010, The Chicago Reader Peter Margasak’s Top Albums of 2010, Dusted Magazine Derek Taylor’s Top Jazz Records of 2010, the Chicago Tribune as a Top 10 Jazz Record of 2011.
Ingebrigt joined Sun Rooms in the summer of 2013, playing his first show with Jason and Mike in Brazil and later toured Italy and Beligum, which culminated in a recording at a studio in Amsterdam, where the trio collectively arranged a batch of new tunes that Adasiewicz wrote while recovering from spinal surgery early in the year. From The Region will be released on Delmark in August of 2014.
Vibraphonist, drummer and composer Jason Adasiewicz is an integral member of Chicago’s jazz and improvised music scene, bringing his aggressive yet lyrical style to over 10 working groups including Mike Reed’s Loose Assembly, Peter Brötzmann/Jason Adasiewicz Duo, Nicole Mitchell’s Ice Crystals, Rob Mazurek’s Starlicker, Josh Berman and His Gang, Ingebrigt Häker Flaten Chicago Sextet, James Falzone’s Klang and Ken Vandermark’s Topology and Audio One. Adasiewicz performs frequently in Europe and is a member of groups lead by Peter Brotzmann, Eric Boeren and Mats Gustafsson. Adasiewicz won the 2011 Downbeat Annual Critic’s Poll in the Rising Star Vibes category. His quintet Rolldown, with Josh Berman, Aram Shelton, Jason Roebke, and Frank Rosaly, formed in 2004 and have released two records, Rolldown (482 Music, 2008) and Varmint (Cuneiform Records, 2009). Starlicker (with Rob Mazurek and John Herndon) Double Demon (Delmark 2011) was named by the New York Times as a Top 10 Pop and Jazz Record of 2011 and the Los Angles Times as a Top 10 Jazz Record of 2011.
Drummer Mike Reed is the rhythmic catalyst in a number of Chicago’s most arresting ensembles, including the David Boykin Expanse, Rob Mazurek’s Exploding Star Orchestra, My Silence, and duos with Jeff Parker and Mars Williams. Reed has also shared the stage with many of his AACM mentors such as Roscoe Mitchell, Wadada Leo Smith, Nicole Mitchell and the late Fred Anderson. As a bandleader, he’s best known for Mike Reed’s People, Places & Things, a capaciously inventive group devoted to unearthing and reinterpreting Chicago’s forgotten hard bop anthems. Over the past decade, Reed has built a democratic musical empire as a player, bandleader, director of the Pitchfork Music Festival, and founder of the Emerging Improvisers Organization, a nonprofit group that sponsors weekly jazz and improvised music performances.
Norwegian bassist and composer Ingebrigt Håker Flaten is also a musician whose experience is both geographical and aesthetic. While the fertile Scandinavian new jazz scene offered a vast amount of opportunities to work in different bands with musicians whose concepts are as individual as the grains in a reed, Flaten has found home and on-the-bandstand education in places as far flung as Chicago and his current residence Austin, Texas. A muscular player whose tone and attack run the gamut from Paul Chambers to Buschi Niebergall, his sense of both openness and control serves ensembles as diverse as The Thing, Free Fall, Atomic, Scorch Trio and the Kornstad/Håker Flaten Duo. In addition to his own Chicago Sextet and Austin-centric Young Mothers, Flaten has also recorded and performed with Frode Gjerstad, Dave Rempis, Bobby Bradford, the AALY Trio, Ken Vandermark, Stephen Gauci, Tony Malaby, Daniel Levin, Dennis Gonzalez and numerous others. Flaten studied at the Conservatory in Trondheim (1992-1995), turning professional shortly afterward, yet his hunger to play in new situations with new musicians – schooled or amateur, frequently recorded or just starting out – puts him in a rare class, that of a truly broad-minded artist. That mettle has served him well, living and developing the music under his own steam and drawing from influences as diverse as Derek Bailey, George Russell, Chris McGregor, filmmakers Ingmar Bergman, contemporary pop melody and gritty punk music as well as everyday sights and sounds.

Intersteller Orchestra
Nick Buligan trumpet Nicole Rampersaud trumpet Jay Hay tenor & baritone saxophones Jeremy Strachan tenor saxophone Karen Ng alto saxophone Tom Richards trombone Heather Segger trombone Mike Smith bass Mike Gennaro drums
Influenced by larger improvising ensembles like Globe Unity, Sun Ra, Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath, AACM big band and David Murray’s octets, this 9-piece band daringly combines the talents of some of Toronto’s younger generation of jazz musicians. “Given that this band contains some of the city’s finest players,” writes Toronto’s Joe Strutt on his blog Mechanical Forest Sound, “every show they play should be an event … do make a point of coming out and digging this.”
The orchestra was formed in June 2013 by saxophonist Jay Hay and drummer Mike Gennaro as an extension of their long-standing duo. Drawing on their pool of musical peers in Toronto’s jazz and creative music scene, the pair cobbled together a revolving line up of musicians to form an ever changing palette of sound and texture.
The band’s repertoire comes from the members. They perform original compositions by Jay Hay and Tom Richards, as well as Don Cherry and even a Brazilian folk tune. These composed elements are balanced with improvised interactions and conducted improvisation. The result is an openness and freedom that allows the players to interact and an air of spontaneity to permeate the performance.
All these musicians have played together in some combination before. Jay, Jeremy and Mike Smith in Canaille and recently Famous Wildlife Movies. Jay and Jeremy in The Swyves. Tom, Jay, Jeremy and Mike Smith in The Big Sound. Jay and Karen have a new group with Joe Sorbara called The Imperative. Jay and Mike Gennaro play as a duo. Tom and Jay play with Enoki’s Insect Orchestra. Most of the members of the orchestra are members of AIM Toronto.

New York Vs. Chicago Double-Bill: Golden State & Sun Rooms
(Brooklyn/Amsterdam/San Diego)
Golden State
Harris Eisenstadt drums, composition Michael Moore clarinet Sara Schoenbeck bassoon Mark Dresser contrabass
Harris Eisenstadt has led critically acclaimed ensembles since 2003, and Golden State is his newest and most fully realized project as a composer/bandleader to date. Founded in 2012 in Southern California while Eisenstadt was in residence at the California Institute of the Arts teaching in Wadaa Leo Smith’s African American Improvisational Music department, Golden State at first brought together flutist Nicole Mitchell and bassoonist Sara Schoenbeck, two of the world’s leading figures on their respective instruments in contemporary composed / improvised music, and the iconoclastic contrabassist Mark Dresser. A fifth member, singular American expatriate, clarinetist Michael Moore, will join Golden State as a sub for Mitchell during Golden State’s summer 2014 Canadian and American festivals tour. The ensemble has performed extensively on both coasts of the U.S. despite its recent formation and geographicmichael_moore-2 challenges – Mitchell and Dresser live in California, Eisenstadt and Schoenbeck live in New York, and Moore lives in Amsterdam. Summer 2014 Canadian and American festivals are Golden State’s international festival premiere performances.
Golden State’s eponymous 2013 debut on the Songlines label garnered universal critical praise in North American and European publications and appeared on numerous best of 2013 lists. Dusty Groove praised its “unique sense of timing and spacing,” while Step Tempest called it “irresistible… music that breathes.” All About Jazz Italy cited Eisenstadt’s “bold structures and compositional voice,” while the New York City Jazz Record proclaimed “Eisenstadt’s sophisticated themes… suggest that his music has the potential to be as transformative as other non-idiomatic composers like Anthony Braxton.” Jazzrightnow.com calls Golden State “Eisenstadt’s most exploratory work to date,” while Emusic.com gave it Jazz Pick of the Week and cited Eisenstadt as “a prolific, distinctive stylist who operates with a consistently high level of quality control.” All About Jazz claims “Eisenstadt’s compositional prowess continues to yield significant rewards.”
