SUMMARY:Feestet (ft. Frank McKearn IV) at North Street Cabaret
DESCRIPTION:Feestet—who have finalized their name after previously appearing as Feest\, Helen Feest Quartet\, and Helen Feest Quintet—have covered a lot of ground as an eccentric jazz act that’s not afraid to take risks. Made up of vocalist Helen Feest\, pianist Luke Leavitt\, bassist Ari Smith\, guitarist Anthony Utehs\, and drummer Matty Benjamin Allen\, Feestet’s musical imprint should be familiar to anyone versed in Madison’s jazz scene. For their forthcoming show at North Street Cabaret\, Feestet will be joined by Frank McKearn IV on EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument). An ancestor of the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument)\, the EVI has a fascinating\, tumultuous history that ultimately ends with its production being abandoned in 1996. As a result\, the instrument—created by studio musician Nyle Steiner in the early 70s—is now considered a relative rarity. \n\nMcKearn—a Beloit native—is presently a Chicago-based audio engineer who has a long history with Madison-based jazz musicians (McKearn cites Darren Sterud as a significant mentor). While McKearn is most often regarded as a trumpet player\, his work of late with the EVI has allowed his reputation within the jazz circuit to take on an additional dimension. On May 11\, Feestet and McKearn are set to perform “a special blend of arranged jazz classics\, collaborations\, and original music\,” per the show description on their website. For attendees\, it’ll be a chance to familiarize themselves with a bit of musical history.  \n—Steven Spoerl \n

SUMMARY:Tatsuya Nakatani Gong Orchestra at Garver Feed Mill
DESCRIPTION:We at Tone Madison are excited to partner with Arts + Literature Laboratory\, Communication Madison\, and Garver Events to present renowned percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani and his extraordinary Gong Orchestra project. Nakatani has spent about 30 years tirelessly collaborating\, touring\, and developing his solo work in the worlds of avant-garde and improvised music. He’s developed a wholly distinctive vocabulary of techniques\, textures\, and harmonics. To see one of Naktani’s solo performances is to see an artist marshal that vocabulary into masterful\, thrilling improvisations\, using drumkit\, gongs\, singing bowls\, bows\, and even breath. It’s different every time\, but Nakatani always gives his audience a new appreciation for both the physical heft of percussion and its capacity for delicate\, ethereal sound. \nNakatani has played solo in Madison many times over the years\, but a stop on one of his Gong Orchestra tours is truly a special occasion. At each show\, he works with a group of local players to coax subtle and powerful layers of sound from an array of gongs\, using bows of Nakatani’s own making. The 2012 Taiga Records release Nakatani Gong Orchestra is an immersive document of the sonic possibilities of this project. That said\, the NGO is best experienced in in-person\, and here all those rumbles and ethereal harmonics will be reverberating throughout the massive space of the Garver Feed Mill Atrium. Tickets are $20 for the general public\, $15 for Tone Madison Sustainers and Arts + Lit Lab members. —Scott Gordon \nNAKATANI GONG ORCHESTRA by Tatsuya Nakatani

SUMMARY:Tone Madison 10-year anniversary party
DESCRIPTION:Tone Madison is thrilled to announce we’ll be celebrating our 10-year anniversary with a show at Gamma Ray Bar on Friday\, December 6. \nWe’re just as thrilled to announce our lineup of great Madison-based artists for the evening: carisa\, Avoidancepolicy\, Holly And The Nice Lions\, and FRED REALLY. Unfortunately\, Cult Of Lip\, initially scheduled to close out the night\, have to drop off the show due to an unexpected illness. We hope the band returns to good health soon. \nBefore and between bands\, DJ Mu and Evan Woodward will be spinning in the front room. DJing will start at 6:30. \nProceeds from the show will go towards sustaining and supporting Tone Madison. Because this is happening right in the middle of our crucial year-end fundraising drive\, the impact of your support will be multiplied\, thanks to the NewsMatch initiative. \nThree of the six acts performing feature members who have contributed pieces to Tone Madison. The remaining three have released a record that’s been selected as one of our year-end favorites over the past few years. Every act performing is part of Tone Madison‘s history. You can be a part of that history\, too\, by coming out and supporting the show! \nYou can RSVP here and purchase advance tickets here.
