Saturday,
February 2, 2013
8:00
p.m.
This is the
original personal from Jim's "Jimmy and the Swingers"
CD of acoustic swing jazz. Jazz guitarist Jim Kanas brings this
"A team" or Who's Who of musician's musicians together
for a night of burning jazz standards and more! Jazz violinist, Randy Sabien started the Berklee School of music string program at age 21 and
has appeared internationally for decades. Mandolinist, Don
Stiernberg was the famous Jethro Burns' (Homer and
Jethro) protegee at age 19 and has recorded with numerous well known
and respected musicians. Acoustic bassist Larry
Gray is know as one of Chicago's primary figures in
jazz and performs regularly with Ramsey Lewis and Larry Correll.
Jim Kanas who is most know for his American Roots/multi-instrumentalist
format attracts world class musicians as a guitarist and has performed
in the Midwest with the likes of Corky Siegel, Howard Levy, Muriel
Anderson and many more. Don't miss this rare performance of some
of the Midwest's most treasured acoustic string jazz musicians!
the
show...The
band’s repertoire comprises of classics, jazz standards, uncommon
selections and originals running the gamut from swinging renditions
of “All of Me”, “Straighten Up and Fly Right”
with vocals to a funky bluesy version of “Summertime”.
All members are equally versed in bluegrass, country and folk so
a unique version of Hank Williams’ classic “I’m
So Lonesome I Could Cry” is a natural! There will be Native
American Flute combined with String bass, mandolin and violin, a
soundscape that you will not hear anywhere else on the planet! The
band turns the Beatles’ “I Will” into a easy Latin
based gem but turns around turns around and blows outside on Monk’s
“Well You Needn’t”. Think of it this way, come
to hear world class acoustic string jazz and expect to go on a journey
into American roots music and more, and improvisation that deems
every selection original and fresh!

Saturday January
22 Jim Kanas Trio www.JimKanas.com
<http://www.jimkanas.com/> ; Genre: jazz; Venue: Katie's Cup,
502 7th
Street. Starting from a jazz perspective, Jim Kanas has always been
driven
to bring a broader influence to his guitar music including western
swing,
bluegrass and of course folk music. The influences of Bob Wills,
Django
Reinhardt and Norman Blake filtered in. This concert is original
music that
is "root based", eclectic and threaded by the process
of improvisation. The
Jim Kanas Trio, playing swing, folk, bluegrass and a mixture of
country,
jazz and western swing, is defined by its signature sound - tight
three part
vocal harmonies with guitar, acoustic bass and either fiddle or
mandolin.
However, don't be surprised if you hear pedal-steel guitar, twin
fiddles,
banjo, harmonica and dobro.$15 adv.; $18 door

OPEN HOUSE CELEBRATING
TEN YEARS OF THE NACHUSA GRASSLANDS HEADQUARTERS BARN
3pm to 6pm is
an open house with folks stopping in for a short or long visit.
We will have a new slide show playing in a loop that shows all the
steps in building the barn. Worth coming just for that! Want to
see some prairie? Short 20 minute tours of the Headquarters prairie,
or Isabel’s Knob will be ongoing. Eat snacks, see how the
building looks, and say “hi” to friends and acquaintances.
We will have cheesy door prizes. For the kids there will be two
corn toss games, one short and one regular. Mammal’s skins
can be touched and skulls of small mammals can be looked at closely.
Talk about fun!At
6pm we will have a potluck dinner.
Where:
Nachusa
Grasslands Headquarters Barn.
8772 S.
Lowden Rd. Franklin Grove, IL
If you are coming
to the Open House just show up. For the potluck let Susan Kleiman
know if you are coming: susan_nachusa@yahoo.com 815-973-6650.
