The band that reminds the world that it's cool to swing, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is the perfect choice to set the vibe for Fox's first Chasing Rainbows Gala of the 2021-2020 Season! Unless you've been lucky enough to see Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington or Cab Calloway in person, you probably have not seen swing music played with such fervor, precision or, most importantly, perfection. The band's vibrant fusion of classic American jazz, swing, and dixieland has energized the Fox stage and romanced Fox fans many times. If you missed them before, now is your chance! Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's all original core line-up includes Scotty Morris (lead vocals and guitar), Kurt Sodergren (drums), Dirk Shumaker (double bass and vocals), Andy Rowley (baritone saxophone and vocals), Glen "The Kid" Marhevka (trumpet), Karl Hunter (saxophones and clarinet) and Joshua Levy (piano and arranger). Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's efforts to promote and revitalize swing music have taken shape as much more than a simple tribute. Taking inspiration from the creators of this uniquely American art form, the band's original horn-infused music and legendary high-energy show introduces the genre to a new and younger generation while remaining cognizant and respectful of the music's rich legacy. The group's first phase of stardom featured an appearance in the 1996 indie film Swingers, a movie that not only launched the careers of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau, but introduced Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to an audience beyond their Los Angeles base. The band's music has appeared in countless films and television shows, including The Wild, Despicable Me, Phineas and Ferb, Friends, Third Rock From The Sun, Ally McBeal, and So You Think You Can Dance. They have appeared live on Dancing With The Stars, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center, The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a remarkable seven appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and the Super Bowl XXXIII Halftime Show. The band has also appeared as special guests with many of the country's most distinguished symphony orchestras, and has performed for three U.S. Presidents.

New York Festival of Song’s 2021 Next Festival kicks off with 9 UNDER 34: Composers Younger Than NYFOS, co-curated by baritone Gregory Feldmann. The evening will feature works by composers born after NYFOS’s first program was presented, performed by baritone Gregory Feldmann and mezzo-soprano and 2021 Naumberg Award winner Erin Wagner, together with pianists Nathaniel LaNasa and Shawn Chang and cellist Thapelo Masita. Works include songs by Jake Landau, Sato Matsui, Shawn Chang, Iván Enrique Rodríguez, David Clay Mettens, Emily Cooley, Tariq al-Sabir, Curtis Stewart, and Molly Joyce. Co-curator Feldmann says about the 9 UNDER 34 program, “In building this program, I hoped to present composers from a wide array of backgrounds and demographics that were writing songs about what mattered to them. The final result has had several themes emerge that, while not unique to our generation, are absolutely core conversations of today: Identity, the shifting social and environmental landscape, and our ability to communicate and connect within these new landscapes. The songs feature texts ranging from 19th century Scotland, to the lesser known words of Francis Scott Key, to nonverbal individuals with autism in Chicago, to personal reflections.” Works by composers born after NYFOS’s first program: JAKE LANDAU: “Mary’s Song” from Scotch Lyrics SATO MATSUI: “Fushigi uta” from Songs of Curiosity SHAWN CHANG: “Green” and “Yellow” from Portraits of Unrelated Colors IVÁN ENRIQUE RODRÍGUEZ: “Alabaster Thread” DAVID CLAY METTENS: 2 songs from The sustaining air EMILY COOLEY: Beautiful Small Things TARIQ AL-SABIR: The Sixth Extinction CURTIS STEWART: Do You See the Flag?

The Presidio Theatre in San Francisco presents the world premiere of Emmy Award-winning jazz innovator, composer and performer Mark Izu's Songs for J-Town in one concert only. Songs for J-Town is a Japanese American Jazz concert dedicated to the artists' and communities' grandchildren's children and the ancestors who carry them. Mark Izu (Contrabass and Sho) with Mas Koga (Shakuhachi, Flutes and Saxophone), Jimi Nakagawa (Taiko and Traps), Jim Norton (Woodwinds), Caroline Cabading (Vocals), devorah major (Spoken Word), Sara Sithi-Amnuai (Trumpet and Sheung), Karl Evangelista (guitar) and Brenda Wong Aoki (Storyteller). Shinto Blessing by Rev. Mas Kawahatsu, digital collage by Andrea Wong, film by Tonilyn Sideco. Songs for J-Town is a concert featuring music from the history of San Francisco's Japantown, beginning with the story of the Sun Goddess by Brenda Wong Aoki and a blessing by Konko Priest Mas Kawahatsu to sanctify the space, exorcise the historical ghosts of anti-Japanese propaganda and begin healing from what the military did to Japanese Americans during the Incarceration and to the Japanese people in the 1940's during WWII. The concert centers on an instrumental jazz performance infused with Gagaku, a 1500-year-old ceremonial Japanese music honoring the Sun Goddess, that Izu studied for 26 years under his mentor Togi Suenobu. The concert also features songs that bring back the swing and big band tunes that were popular with Japanese American political prisoners in internment camps after they were forcibly removed from their homes in Japantown during the height of anti-Asian hysteria in the 1940s. There will be resistance songs that call back to the Japantown of the 1970s, the birthplace of Asian American Jazz, a genre which Mark Izu helped pioneer during the struggle by Black and Japanese residents to fight the forced evictions of tens of thousands of neighborhood residents during waves of demolition led by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency.
