Son of Ellis, brother of Wynton, the New Orleans-born Branford Marsalis has been exploring the outer reaches of jazz since first emerging from his brother’s band in the mid 1980s. Yep, don’t forget your face mask.īranford Marsalis: Jazz royalty comes to the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in the person of the great sax man Branford Marsalis and his quartet. (with a VIP pre-party at 5:30 p.m.) Only one fashion accessory is required for admission. The designers come from near (merely steps away at the Tannery lofts) and far (from the East Coast, Hawaii, and other points), all participating in an unforgettable runway show with live music and other surprises. Pivot: The Art of Fashion: The red-letter date of the year in the realm of Santa Cruz fashion takes place this year at the Tannery Arts Center, as close to 40 artists and designers showcase their latest apparel creations, from the chic and desirable to the zany and outrageous. Join the party and lend a hand Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Among those slated to perform are Mira Goto, Anthony Arya, Carolyn Sills Combo, Hank & Ella, Patti Maxine, Michael Gaither, and several others. Now, after years of hosting similar fundraisers, Ralph is the man of the hour in a show that serves as a kind of all-star game of local musicians. Ralph Anybody fundraiser: One of the region’s most familiar radio voices, KPIG’s Ralph Anybody, suffered a big loss recently when a tree fell on his home. Saturday’s concert begins at 7:30 p.m., Sunday’s at 2 p.m. The concert will begin with Samuel Barber’s heartbreaking “Adagio for Strings” and also feature pieces by Corelli and Tchaikovsky, as well as the astronomically inspired “Starburst” from contemporary composer Jessie Montgomery. On Saturday evening at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, and again Sunday afternoon at the Mello Center in Watsonville, the symphony will present “Remembrance & Rejuvenation” as a way to honor the trauma of the past year and to move forward into the new one. And now, finally, the opening concert of the symphony’s ambitious new season is upon us. Santa Cruz Symphony: It’s been a loooong time since local music lovers have been able to see the Santa Cruz Symphony Orchestra perform live. See the Western Music Hall of Famer live Friday at Michael’s on Main in Soquel. Stamey’s songs have a poignance and power as broad as the wide-open West. Stamey doesn’t waste much time with non-cowboy themes in his songs, as you might pick up from his most popular tunes like “Buckaroo Man,” “Montana,” “The Bandit Joaquin,” and “Somewhere West of Laramie.” If you’re thinking he’s some kind of tongue-in-cheek Gene Autry parody act, think again. He also makes history with far-flung first descents in the Eastern Alaska Range and the Himalaya of Nepal, where the stakes are as high as the peaks themselves.Dave Stamey: Any conversation about contemporary cowboy music has to begin with Dave Stamey, a cowboy and rancher, who’s also an accomplished singer-songwriter. With these friends, Jeremy leaves tracks on signature lines in the close-to-home playgrounds he’s made his own around Jackson Hole and Lake Tahoe. His crew for the film includes Bryan Iguchi, Luca Pandolfi, Lucas Merli, Ryland Bell, and others. Jones has gathered friends old and new to pass the torch to the next generation of big mountain rippers. HIGHER traces Jones’ snowboarding journey from hiking Cape Cod’s Jailhouse Hill as a child to accumulating several generations’ worth of wisdom and expertise about thriving and surviving in the winter wilderness.
HIGHER–like the chapters that preceded it–is produced and co-directed by Jeremy’s brothers Steve and Todd Jones, who are the co-founders of Teton Gravity Research.
Now Jones and his crew are elevating their game and taking their quest to the next level for the third and final installment of the DEEPER, FURTHER, HIGHER trilogy. His 2012 sequel, FURTHER, took him to the planet’s most remote mountain ranges and earned him a nod as a 2013 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, and his environmental advocacy work with Protect Our Winters won him recognition as one of President Barack Obama’s 2013 Champions of Change. ABOUT JEREMY JONES’ HIGHER: Ten-time Big Mountain Rider of the Year winner Jeremy Jones revolutionized backcountry snowboarding with DEEPER, his 2010 ode to splitboarding and human-powered adventure.
