SUMMARY:Author event: Michael Eric Dyson "Jay-Z:Made in America"
DESCRIPTION:Uncle Bobbie’s Welcomes Author Michael Eric Dyson for an author talk on his new book “JAY-Z: Made in America”. The discussion will be moderated by Marc Lamont Hill. \nAbout the Book: JAY-Z: Made in America is the fruit of Michael Eric Dyson’s decade of teaching the work of one of the greatest poets this nation has produced\, as gifted a wordsmith as Walt Whitman\, Robert Frost and Rita Dove. But as a rapper\, he’s sometimes not given the credit he deserves for just how great an artist he’s been for so long. \nThis book wrestles with the biggest themes of JAY-Z’s career\, including hustling\, and it recognizes the way that he’s always weaved politics into his music\, making important statements about race\, criminal justice\, black wealth and social injustice. As he enters his fifties\, and to mark his thirty years as a recording artist\, this is the perfect time to take a look at JAY-Z’s career and his role in making this nation what it is today.

SUMMARY:Diane Monroe: Violin Woman\, African Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Diane Monroe: Violin Woman\, African Dreams at Cliveden\n\nSunday\, November 24 @ 3pm\n$20 – $25\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nComposer and violinist Diane Monroe draws on her decades-long\, genre-defying career to craft a musical memoir that bridges jazz\, classical and traditional African music\, revealing an African-American violinist’s trials and triumphs. This story of personal and collective histories will be told through a collage of original music\, visual art and spoken word. The evening-length suite will be performed by an ensemble that includes violin\, banjo\, west African kora and Western String quartet. \nWith musical boundaries lessening\, artists are ever-more challenged to define our own identities and voices. With this work I am challenging myself to not only disrupt musical classifications and hierarchies\, but also to examine what it means for me to be an African-American woman.\nFor this new piece\, Monroe has worked with visual artist and scholar Curlee Raven Holton\, drawing inspiration from his paintings and prints\, using that inspiration to reflect on her life journey and to write music fueled by her experience as an African-American woman—Monroe employs a quintessentially Western instrument to collapse boundaries between musical styles that often occupy distinct silos. Holton’s artwork will be incorporated into the scenic design for the premiere performances at Cliveden. \nMonroe’s other collaborators on the project include renowned string quartet PubliQuartet\, internationally recognized master of West African kora and storytelling Yacouba Sissoko\, and Ayodele Maakheru\, who has played banjo\, guitar\, and multiple other stringed instruments on Broadway and across the world for over three decades. A rhythm section composed of bassist Lee Smith\, hand percussionist Leonard “Doc” Gibbs and drummer Harry “Butch” Reed completes the eclectic ensemble. \nPerformances will run 85 minutes with a 15-minute intermission. \nViolin Woman\, African Dreams has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiane Monroe \n\nDiane Monroe is a violinist whose versatility and expressive artistry consistently brings audiences to their feet. Her visibility as a jazz artist began with her long-standing membership as first violinist of the Uptown String Quartet and the Max Roach Double Quartet. These critically acclaimed groups have appeared on The Cosby Show\, CBS News Sunday Morning and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. Monroe is more\, however\, than simply a fine performer. Her original compositions and arrangements have been highlighted on TV shows and in performances with the two ensembles at major concert halls and festivals throughout the world. Monroe has also been leading her own ensembles for more than 15 years. The Diane Monroe Quartet appeared at the Kennedy Center’s Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival and continues to play at venues across the country. \nMonroe is a Philadelphia native and graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and University of the Arts. She has taught at Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, Swarthmore College\, Lehigh University and Temple University. In 2002\, she received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Monroe is a 2018 recipient of both a Fellowship and a Project grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. \n\n\n\n\nNovember 22-24\nPerformances at 8:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays\,\n\n3:00pm on Sundays \nWhere?

SUMMARY:Diane Monroe: Violin Woman\, African Dreams at Cliveden
DESCRIPTION:Violin Woman\, African Dreams with Diane Monroe\n\nNovember 22 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm\n$20 – $25 \n\n\n\nVIOLIN WOMAN\, AFRICAN DREAMS \n\n\n\nNovember 15-24\, 2019 | Performances at 8:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays\, 3:00pm on Sundays\nComposer and violinist Diane Monroe draws on her decades-long\, genre-defying career to craft a musical memoir that bridges jazz\, classical and traditional African music\, revealing an African-American violinist’s trials and triumphs. This story of personal and collective histories will be told through a collage of original music\, visual art and spoken word. The evening-length suite will be performed by an ensemble that includes violin\, banjo\, west African kora and Western String quartet. \nWith musical boundaries lessening\, artists are ever-more challenged to define our own identities and voices. With this work I am challenging myself to not only disrupt musical classifications and hierarchies\, but also to examine what it means for me to be an African-American woman.\nFor this new piece\, Monroe has worked with visual artist and scholar Curlee Raven Holton\, drawing inspiration from his paintings and prints\, using that inspiration to reflect on her life journey and to write music fueled by her experience as an African-American woman—Monroe employs a quintessentially Western instrument to collapse boundaries between musical styles that often occupy distinct silos. Holton’s artwork will be incorporated into the scenic design for the premiere performances at Cliveden. \nMonroe’s other collaborators on the project include renowned string quartet PubliQuartet\, internationally recognized master of West African kora and storytelling Yacouba Sissoko\, and Ayodele Maakheru\, who has played banjo\, guitar\, and multiple other stringed instruments on Broadway and across the world for over three decades. A rhythm section composed of bassist Lee Smith\, hand percussionist Leonard “Doc” Gibbs and drummer Harry “Butch” Reed completes the eclectic ensemble. \nPerformances will run 85 minutes with a 15-minute intermission. \nViolin Woman\, African Dreams has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiane Monroe \n\nDiane Monroe is a violinist whose versatility and expressive artistry consistently brings audiences to their feet. Her visibility as a jazz artist began with her long-standing membership as first violinist of the Uptown String Quartet and the Max Roach Double Quartet. These critically acclaimed groups have appeared on The Cosby Show\, CBS News Sunday Morning and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. Monroe is more\, however\, than simply a fine performer. Her original compositions and arrangements have been highlighted on TV shows and in performances with the two ensembles at major concert halls and festivals throughout the world. Monroe has also been leading her own ensembles for more than 15 years. The Diane Monroe Quartet appeared at the Kennedy Center’s Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival and continues to play at venues across the country. \nMonroe is a Philadelphia native and graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and University of the Arts. She has taught at Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, Swarthmore College\, Lehigh University and Temple University. In 2002\, she received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Monroe is a 2018 recipient of both a Fellowship and a Project grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. \n\n\n\n\nNovember 22-24\nPerformances at 8:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays\,\n\n3:00pm on Sundays \nWhere?

SUMMARY:Musicians Gathering #42 at Rittenhouse Soundworks
DESCRIPTION:Rootology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRootology \nPhiladelphia’s all-star Americana and Roots Band. Featuring members of The Lewis Bros.\, The Dukes of Destiny\,The High Rollers\, and other hot Philly acts. Wanamaker Lewis\, Guitars\, Banjo Vocals ; Larry Feldman\, Mandolin\, Violin\, Lap steel\, guitars\, vocals; Chuck Lindsey\, Vocals. Drums\, percussion; Larry Cohen\, Bass\, vocals\, piano.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/Rootologymusic/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoy Ike\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoy Ike \nPolished and precise\, yet buoyed with an airy grace\, Joy Ike paints with a broad palette that defies easy categorization. Born to Nigerian immigrants\, the singer/songwriter’s music\, voice\, and writing have drawn comparisons to female musicians such as Nina Simone\, Laura Nyro\, and Regina Spektor. But her percussive piano-playing and soaring vocals give homage to her African upbringing. \nLeaving her career as a publicist in 2008\, Joy has spent the last 11 years playing thousands of shows across the country. A write-up on NPR’s All Things Considered says “The depth of subjects she tackles in her poetic lyrics are perfectly complemented by a unique blend of neo-soul\, with just the right dash of pop…a truly compelling act to watch in person\, with the ability to create an intimate setting in locations big and small.” \nWATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm_Q1aODPWk\nSOCIAL MEDIA:\nInstagram: @joyikemusic\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joyikemusic/\nTwitter: @joyike\nWebsite: www.joyike.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaul Broudy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaul Broudy \nPhiladelphian Saul Broudy has been performing for almost 50 years all over North America\, and in Europe\, Australia\, New Zealand\, and the Mid-East. He accompanies his singing on guitar\, but is perhaps best-known as a harmonica player\, having worked and recorded with such artists as Steve Goodman\, Loudon Wainwright\, Jim Ringer\, Utah Phillips\, Mick Moloney\, Jim Dragoni\, and numerous others(he’s recorded on over 25 albums). He has his own album\, “Travels With Broudy”\, and has recorded “In Country: Folk Songs of Americans in the Vietnam War” (Flying Fish) with six fellow Vietnam veterans.\nSaul’s music covers a wide range of grassroots American genres\, from traditional ballads to bluegrass\, country\, blues\, Cajun\, and rockabilly. He holds a PhD degree in folklore from the University of Pennsylvania\, and his shows aim to inform as well as entertain. \nAccompanying Saul this evening\, will be his long-time bassist Dennis Gormley. \nHere are some links where people can hear my music\, and I can also be found on Facebook: \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gBAMwBtJ5E \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOdSEzZoTH8 \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA46rO77vyk \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mApeGmHO5_s \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9A6_TLlyZc \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZRNA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZRNA \nZRNA is a new project formed around the core of Gregg Mervine’s percussion and sampler\, Brendan Cooney’s synthesizers\, and Isabella Sazak’s vocals. Turkish and Balkan rhythms are a huge inspiration for the group (those lilting rhythms that get bodies moving in unfamiliar ways).

A rhythm section composed of bassist Lee Smith\, hand percussionist Leonard “Doc” Gibbs and drummer Harry “Butch” Reed completes the eclectic ensemble. \nPerformances will run 85 minutes with a 15-minute intermission. \nViolin Woman\, African Dreams has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiane Monroe \n\nDiane Monroe is a violinist whose versatility and expressive artistry consistently brings audiences to their feet. Her visibility as a jazz artist began with her long-standing membership as first violinist of the Uptown String Quartet and the Max Roach Double Quartet.

Her original compositions and arrangements have been highlighted on TV shows and in performances with the two ensembles at major concert halls and festivals throughout the world. Monroe has also been leading her own ensembles for more than 15 years. The Diane Monroe Quartet appeared at the Kennedy Center’s Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival and continues to play at venues across the country. \nMonroe is a Philadelphia native and graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and University of the Arts.

SUMMARY:Author Event at Uncle Bobbies: Aaron Glantz-HOMEWRECKERS
DESCRIPTION:Author Event: Aaron Glantz – HOMEWRECKERS\n\nWed Nov 13th 7:00pm  – 8:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUncle Bobbie’s welcomes author Aaron Glantz for an author discussion. \nAbout the book: \nTwo years before the housing market collapsed in 2008\, Donald Trump looked forward to a crash: “I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy\,” he said. But our future president wasn’t alone. While millions of Americans suffered financial loss\, tycoons pounced to heartlessly seize thousands of homes—their profiteering made even easier because\, as prize-winning investigative reporter Aaron Glantz reveals in Homewreckers\, they often used taxpayer money—and the Obama administration’s promise to cover their losses. \nIn Homewreckers\, Glantz recounts the transformation of straightforward lending into a morass of slivered and combined mortgage “products” that could be bought and sold\, accompanied by a shift in priorities and a loosening of regulations and laws that made it good business to lend money to those who wouldn’t be able to repay. Among the men who laughed their way to the bank: Trump cabinet members Steve Mnuchin and Wilbur Ross\, Trump pal and confidant Tom Barrack\, and billionaire Republican cash cow Steve Schwarzman. Homewreckers also brilliantly weaves together the stories of those most ravaged by the housing crisis. The result is an eye-opening expose of the greed that decimated millions and enriched a gluttonous few.
