Providence Cutting Sessions: JAZZ PROGRAM
The goal of this program is to inspire others to contribute to and support a growing jazz community. Students of all levels can contribute to this jazz community through performance, composition, and appreciation. This program’s mission is two-part. First, to give jazz musicians a venue to display their art and talent; second, to compose a new repertoire of jazz standards. “Providence Cutting Sessions” will display new and original jazz compositions by local musicians. These compositions will mainly be in the style of the “Real Book,” which contains hundreds of well-known jazz standards. This program welcomes jazz musicians to come to performances and sit in with the house trio. All instruments are welcome. Original charts will be made available at performances and online in .pdf format (go to www.anglesideside.com for more info). Available charts have been transposed in keys C, B flat and E flat. We welcome composers to submit original songs to be performed (email providencecuttingsessions@gmail.com for more info). We hope this program will be of interest to jazz musicians through out the state. Please encourage students to get involved in this program. http://www.provcuttingsessions.com/

Wednesday September 10 : Choro Democratico
Choro Democratico plays a type of Brazilian music called choro, which is an instrumental style that has its origins in Rio de Janeiro of the late 1800s. Choro melds European dance forms such as polkas and waltzes with typically Brazilian rhythmic feels, including samba and maxixe. The instrumentation usually includes at least one melody instrument, such as flute, mandolin, or violin. The rhythm and harmony are played by the cavaquinho, a kind of high-pitched guitar, while the bass is played by 7 or 6-string guitar. Small percussion such as the pandeiro, similar to the North American tambourine, usually adds the swing that is so essential to Brazilian music. Although the portuguese word chorar suggests crying or sadness, choro music ranges the emotional gamut from meloncholic to festive. Choro is played in various ensemble formats and many groups have updated the style with influences from jazz, pop, and Brazilian folkloric styles.
