Greg Hopkins


Greg Hopkins

Greg Hopkins has been performing in the New England area for the past twenty years. Trumpeter, arranger/composer Hopkins played with Lonnie Smith, and Buddy Rich. Reed man Bill Pierce toured with Art Blakey and Tony Williams. Guitarist Mick Goodrick was with Jack Dejohnette and Steve Swallow. Gary Chaffee is a noted teacher of many famous drummers. Together the group exhibits a mature, hard hitting style.

"Greg Hopkins, the inspired trumpeter/composer who is one of Boston's unappreciated jazz treasures, was listed as the leader of the nonet that appeared at Scullers. On the band's debut CD Jazz! (Summit), he shares billing with pianist Chuck Marohnic and tuba player Sam Pilaflan, Arizona-based musicians who (together with drummer Dom Moio) traveled to New England for the group's East Coast debut." - Boston Globe

Johnny Rodgers Band


Johnny Rodgers Band

with Brian Glassman, Danny Mallon, Joe Ravo and Johnny Rodgers

Nationally acclaimed award winning singer-songwriter-pianist, Johnny Rodgers and the Johnny Rodgers Bands music defies classification, blending the sophistication of jazz with the driving energy of pop, rock and roll. Show Business Weekly says Rodgers performs his own songs as a "combination of Elton John, Billy Joel and James Taylor all rolled into one," and noted New York critic Rex Reed "described him as "a finger popping pianist with range and style."

Rodgers' song "Home to Mendocino" was just declared a winner in the Billboard Magazine World Song Contest. The JRB recorded twelve of Johnnys self penned songs (including Mendocino) for the critically acclaimed debut album Box of Photographs, which featured Grammy Award winner Randy Brecker as guest artist on several tracks.

In between gigs and recording sessions with the Band, Johnny Rodgers is also currently touring Europe and North America with the legendary Oscar, Tony and Emmy Award winning superstar Liza Minnelli, with whom he will be filming her forthcoming TV special this summer in Vancouver.

Exploding on the music scene like a supernova, Daniel Fernandez of Miamis El Nuevo Herald raves "Rodgers group is excellent and I would not know where to start. &a composer and spectacular pianist, the singer is a true dynamo on stage, who jumps from one style to another with the ease of an expert trapezist: jazz, pop, rock" His versatility is uncommon and very authentic."

Darrell Nulisch

A first-class bluesman with more natural soul in reserve than many singers can summon up at the peak of their powers, Darrell Nulisch testifies with stirring authority on I Like It That Way, his second Severn Records release.

Following up 1998's The Whole Truth, this strong release presents the big-voiced Dallas native dipping into a varied soul-streaked R&B bag. From the infectious opener, "You Tore My Playhouse Down"--which he adapted from the Ann Peebles' classic "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down"--to ebullient offerings like "Getaway Place" and "Love Changes Things", he mines a motherlode of deep-blue feeling on B.B. King's "Worried Blues" and goes to church on the gospel-flavored original "Where My Baby Is."

Elsewhere, Nulisch wraps his distinctive pipes around faithful covers of Lee Shot Williams' "I Like Your Style" and Otis Redding's "Trick Or Treat." He grooves on a jazzy, organ-fueled interpretation of Otis Rush's "Mean Old World," reinterprets his own "After All," which he had recorded 10 years ago with guitarist Ronnie Earl, and showcases his blues harp chops on the rootsy shuffle, "Once in a Lifetime."

"I've tried to show progression on all my records," says Nulisch. "And I think this one shows growth in my writing style." On this release, he is again working in tandem with longtime writing partner Steve Gomes. "Steve and I both lean toward this soul kind of thing. Also over the last few years I've gotten into listening to more gospel and jazz, and I think that's reflected in some of the music on this album."

"Sofia has a lovely sound that is human and earthy all at once. She creates such a broad spectrum of colors and sounds. Sofia is so creative and I know there is much to discover down the road." -Maria Schneider

"Sofia is a very gifted Latin American singer. She knows how to combine the best of her Argentine roots with the skills and passion necessary to make many contributions to our music community." -Danilo Perez

"Ojala is a very fine debut from an extremely talented singer, composer and arranger(....) a unique, very attractive and extremely seductive recording" -All About Jazz

Sofia Koutsovitis belongs to a new generation of musicians who imaginatively explore the connection between jazz and contemporary music and the rich musical traditions of South America. An active vocalist, composer and arranger, her primary musical project to date, the Sofia Koutsovitis Group, is grounded in traditional South American rhythms that merge organically with sophisticated harmonies and exploratory improvisations. Singing in Spanish, Portuguese or English, Sofia's voice is alternately graceful and authoritative in interpreting her dynamic original compositions or her own innovative arrangements of pieces by Latin American composers such as Silvio Rodriguez, Astor Piazolla, Paulinho da Viola, and Chabuca Granda. Currently a resident of New York City, since making the move in 2005, Sofia has become a very active member of the new Jazz and Latin American music scene. She is the lead vocalist of several music projects that involve Jazz, experimental music, tango, Afro-Peruvian, Afro-Colombian, Brazilian and Argentine music collaborating with musicians and groups such as Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra, Geoffrey Keezer's Aurea, Aquiles Baez ,Lionel Loueke, Pablo Mayor- Folklore Urbano, Alcatraz, Samuel Torres group and Pablo Aslan's Avantango. Sofia has toured Europe, North and South America singing at renowned international jazz and world music festivals and venues such as Aspen/Snowmass Jazz Festival, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, the Blue Note (NYC), the Chicago World Music Festival, the International Jazz en Lima Festival (Peru) and the Festival de Jazz de Barcelona.

Katie Viqueira


Katie Viqueira

Directly from her native Buenos Aires, former Boston-based vocalist Katie Viqueira returns to Ryles for a rare night of Argentine music, featuring her latest blend of jazz-inflected contemporary Tango, Candombe, Milonga. Backed by pianist Nando Michelin, drummer Bertram Lehmann, and special guest guitarist Claudio Ragazzi, she sets out to trace her musical roots. Billed "a hot Tango star" by the Boston Globe, she has received the highest critical accolades for her performances.

"Originality, that you don't fall upon too often. Yes, there's the drama, mystery, tale and all else one would expect from the big country in the most southern part of South America, but this time it's different . . . pure fusion . . . world music that we all can come home to and enjoy . . ." - JAZZ ZINE

Revolutionary Snake Ensemble


Revolutionary Snake Ensemble

Formed in 1990, Revolutionary Snake Ensemble is an experimental brass band with influences ranging from free jazz to New Orleans second line to contemporary funk. Their 2003 debut "Year of the Snake" was included on best-of-year lists from NPR affiliate WNYC Radio in New York City, the Gambit Weekly in New Orleans, and Radio Popolare in Milan, Italy.

"Forked Tongue" was recorded at Mortal Music Studios, remixed by the Minneapolis-based Balanced Production team of Chris Strouth and Brian Jacoby, and mastered in Los Angeles by Bob Demaa. The disc includes unique arrangements of music by such diverse songwriters as Billy Idol, Ornette Coleman, and Norman Span, as well as original material by Field.

The Snakes have appeared at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (DC), the Krewe of Muses Mardi Gras Parade (New Orleans), the Cambridge River Festival, ArtBeat, the Central Square World's Fair, Tonic (NYC), the Somerville Theater, First Nights Boston, Providence, & Fall River, the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Puffin Cultural Forum, the Big Top (New Orleans), Berklee Performance Center, and numerous other venues.

The group can be heard on Parade of Numbers, an animated counting piece regularly aired on the television program Sesame Street.

Repeatedly nominated in their Best Music Poll by the Boston Phoenix and WFNX Radio, RSE has also been twice nominated by a panel of music writers and critics for a Boston Music Award.

Leader Ken Field is known for his work with Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, Bridgman/Packer Dance, Sesame Street, Willie Loco Alexander, and several solo releases.

"They've pretty much modernized the traditional concept, and they've spun it into a singular sound that's very unique and very vibrant. They accelerated the norm. They went past the tried and true. They managed to do it all with a very distinct musical persona." - All About Jazz writer Glenn Astarita on NPR's Morning Edition
