First band:8:00 pm
The Fa Diyez Ensemble

Tev Stevig - oud
Brian Oneill - percussion
Chris Veilleux - ney
Paddy League - kemenche

Bio:
The Fa Diyez Ensemble is comprised of three accomplished multi-instrumentalists from the Boston area with backgrounds in jazz, classical, and various folk music genres from around the world. However, in this case, the ensemble leaves all that behind to focus on performing the classical music of the Ottoman Empire in the traditional way. Through intense study of makam here in the US and abroad, and use of traditional instruments such as ney (reed flute), oud (plucked lute) and bendir (frame drum) , the group performs the pes¸rev and saz semai forms, while also applying the rules of makam to the art of taxim (instrumental improvisation). While the core of the group consists of Chris Veilleux (ney), Tev Stevig (oud), and Brian O'Neill (bendir), The Fa Diyez Ensemble occasionally expands beyond its typical trio formation to include other musicians from the Ottoman Classical community.

Second band:
Kafana

Tev Stevig - plucked strings
Brian Oneill - percussion
Chris Veilleux - clarinet
Greg Loughman - bass
Michael McLaughlin - accordion
Joe Kessler - violin

Bio:
The all-acoustic ensemble Kafana derives its name from a common term in the Balkans, meaning a place to happily gather to eat, drink, and listen to music. The group developed its repertoire over 3 years of weekly performances at a restaurant in Somerville, MA and play music from the Balkans, Greece, and Turkey in their own unique way. Kafana seek to combine elements from these musical cultures with their own varied backgrounds to create modern American folk music: a cultural mash-up of styles that is respectful of the traditions they draw from without being musically shackled by them. Their new repertoire of Balkan and Turkish influenced original compositions (written by multi-instrumentalist Tev Stevig) is a further development of this idea that continues to explore the boundaries of both American and world music. http://kafanamusic.com

For one night only Evan Marien and Randy Runyon bring a special duo performance to Ryles World Wednesdays at ryles concert series.

Guitarist Randy Runyon, will accompany bassist Evan Marien on his original music, which is influenced by 20th century French and Russian music.

Evan was recently voted one of 2009's Most Exciting New Players by the readers of Bass Player Magazine, and was recently profiled in the January 2010 issue of Bass Guitar Magazine.

Randy Runyon has performed with drummer Terri Lyne Carrington at the Blue Note and the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City, given clinics with trumpeter Tiger Okoshi, performed with saxophonist Bob Mintzer and trumpeter Randy Brecker.

Randy recently released his first CD "Arrival" to widespread acclaim. Both Evan and Randy have a unique musical chemistry together and are pleased to share this rare moment at Ryles.

Evan Marien

"...highly original harmonic approach to soloing....an emerging bass talent...one who backs up his stunning bass work with music of depth and subtlety" - Mike Flynn, Bass Guitar Magazine

"One of my current favorite bass players to hit the scene... On Evan's new CD, he displays very mature compositions and playing. His tone(s) is amazing and Evan has a great sense of phrasing and time" - Ray Riendeau, Notreble.com

"I truly think that every electric bassist (at the very least) should check this out. The playing is straight killing, Evans tone is wonderful, the band is smoking but, most importantly, it's interesting to listen to and very musical" - Damien Erskine, Bass Musician Magazine

Randy Runyon

"...Runyon approaches the songs like Kenny Burrell with a Pat Metheny fixation, his dark and stinging notes dancing over the bar lines with a studied logic. Runyon's playing is calm and assured, as if he has nothing to prove. And he focuses on the essence of each melody rather than how fast he can play or the usual guitar pyrotechnics."

"...Runyon plays like an old soul on his self-titled debut as a leader. His song selections are far beyond the usual standards fare including classic and challenging material..."

"A teacher has not done his job well if the student does not surpass him... "This CD is Randy's compliment to me and I thank him very much! - Carl Filipiak - March 2007

This CD should serve as an excellent introduction to Randy Runyon. - Ken Dryden - All Music Guide

Ramona Borthwick celebrates her latest project and second CD release as a leader. "One Of Us" is a celebration of planet Earth and reflects on the urgency for us to act as protectors of its bounties. The ten original compositions written specifically for this project showcase her evolution as an artist and composer, and feature Ramona's distinctive writing, playing and vocal styling, as well as great performances from trumpet player Ingrid Jensen, guitarist Noel Borthwick , bassist Johannes Weidenmueller and drummer Adam Cruz. A gifted composer, Ramona's music conveys a story like quality, spiritual depth, infectious energy and intuitive flow, free of clichés. While being rooted in the jazz tradition, her compositions often draw from other musical influences such as ECM jazz, Brazilian music, and her legacy from India .

The evening's performance will feature her quintet, comprising musicians from Boston and New York , along with special guests playing compositions from her latest release.

** Double-Bill **

Scott Alan - Showtime 7 pm, $35.00
The Sunday Saints - Showtime 9:30 pm, $10.00

Scott Alan

Cutting edge NYC composer/lyricist Scott Alan in concert with several of the Greater Boston area's finest young singers in an evening of cabaret/pop/jazz at it's finest. His music crosses over from musical theater, pop, jazz to gospel with tasty licks of R&B.

Mr. Alan has been hailed as "...the cutting edge of musical theater and pop..." and "...one of the brightest lights of up and coming theater/pop composers..." and has become a favorite of the new generation of Broadway and NYC pop/jazz performers with his music being recorded by Shoshana Bean, Stephanie Block, Eden Espinosa, Liz Callaway, Sutton Foster, Randy Graff, Lisa Brescia, Marcus Paul James and more.

This is a rare opportunity to see and hear one of the finest new composers and some amazing new voices in an evening of highly charged, soaring music in the intimate, world class Ryles Jazz Club.

The Sunday Saints

Sopped in the backbeats of New Orleans R&B and southern funky soul, award-winning vocalist Jordan Valentine and her band The Sunday Saints burn up the stage with a horn-stoked 60s soul barnburner. Evoking the likes of Ike & Tina, The Meters, Lyn Collins, and Booker T, they bring a drum-tight, sharp-dressed soul review to the stage, fueled by future-classic originals and rare gems. As The Boston Phoenix wrote, "Valentine & is a veteran of the Bucket of Blood circuit, where five or six sets of hard entertainment is what keeps bikers and other bar beasts from peeling each others' skins off, and a good singer needs to be able to hold and bend a note in a firestorm of sound - just like she does."

The Saints' show is part revivalist meeting, part Saturday night sin, and all soul satisfaction.
