SUMMARY:Classic Film:  Yentl
DESCRIPTION:Yentl  is a 1983 romantic musical drama film from United Artists co-written\, co-produced and starring Barbra Streisand based on the play of the same name by Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer\, itself based on Singer’s short story.  The film’s musical score and songs were composed by Michel Legrand.   The film also stars Mandy Patinkin\, Amy Irving\, and Nehemiah Persoff. \nThe film received the Academy Award for Best Original Score\, and the Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy\, and Best Director for Streisand\, making her the first woman to have won Best Director at the Golden Globes. \n“’This has to be a musical!’ Marilyn and Alan Bergman exclaimed in unison to Barbra Streisand when she showed the songwriters the script for Yentl.  This project\, developed from Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Yentl (1983)\, the Yeshiva Boy\, had been dear to Streisand’s heart since she first optioned the story in 1968.  It tells of a young Jewish woman in Poland who\, after the loss of her father\, disguises herself as a boy so she can go to a Yeshiva (Jewish school for priests) and study the Torah.  S \ntreisand\, who ended up directing\, co-producing and co-writing the film as well as starring in it\, had planned it as an intimate\, non-musical drama until the Bergmans persuaded her to add songs. As quoted by Streisand biographer James Spada\, Marilyn Bergman explained\, ‘We felt it was a wonderful story for a musical\, because it is [about] a character with a secret.  Throughout the picture\, after her father dies\, there is nobody to whom she can talk\, to whom she can reveal her essential self.  And this rich inner life becomes the [song] score.’ \n“Because they felt the music should be lushly romantic and rooted in the European tradition\, the Bergmans considered Michel Legrand the perfect composer to collaborate on the Yentl score.  ‘The kind of music Michel writes is timeless.  It could be the 18th\, 19th or 20th century\,’ said Alan.  Added Marilyn: ‘The challenge was to make the music exotic and colorful\, but not so special that it doesn’t have universality.’  In developing the songs\, the trio joined Streisand for lengthy sessions in the music room of the Bergmans’ Beverly Hills home.  ‘Our housekeeper would bring us food trays and we’d eat up there\,’ recalled Alan.  ‘Sometimes we’d go late into the night.  It was like there was no outside world; the greatest thing about working on the movie was\, where else in the world could you call your director and say\, “Come over and sing this song for us?” \n“The collaboration was so fruitful that Yentl won an Oscar for Best Song Score. The Bergmans and Legrand also were nominated twice in the “Best Song” category\, for “Papa\, Can You Hear Me?” and “The Way He Makes Me Feel.” (The winner in that category was the title tune from Flashdance.) \nYentl\, released through MGM-UA\, won only one other nomination\, that of Best Supporting Actress for Amy Irving.  Noticeably absent in every category for which she was eligible\, Streisand did not attend the awards ceremony;  Yentl‘s nominated songs were performed by Donna Summer and Jennifer Holliday.  ‘In Hollywood\, a woman can be an actress\, a singer\, a dancer\,’ Streisand said later. ‘But don’t let her be too much more!’” \nby Roger Fristoe for TCM

SUMMARY:Jason Anick & The Rhythm Future Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Gypsy Jazz returns to Ogunquit\, led by violinist Jason Anick\, with guitar\, bass\, and Matt DeChamplain at the piano. \n \nJason Anick and the Rhythm Future Quartet return for their third engagement with Ogunquit Performing Arts in recent years. These dynamic performers have received national acclaim for their lilting rhythms\, virtuoso musicianship\, and vibrant musical combinations. \nTickets to this performance available now on this website. Tickets may also be purchased at the Ogunquit Camera Shop\, Dunaway Center\, Ogunquit Playhouse Downtown Box Office\, and Ogunquit Welcome Center beginning three weeks prior to the performance. Free parking for the performance is located behind the Dunaway Center. \nA favorite of Ogunquit audiences\, the acoustic jazz ensemble\, Rhythm Future Quartet has a straightforward agenda: to keep the spirit of Gypsy jazz alive and expanding in today’s musical universe. The virtuosic foursome\, named for a Django Reinhardt tune\, offers up a newly minted sound\, influenced by the classic Hot Club of France\, yet wholly contemporary.\nLed by violinist Jason Anick and guitarist Olli Soikkeli\, the quartet performs dynamic and lyrical arrangements of both Gypsy jazz standards and original compositions that draw upon diverse international rhythms and musical idioms. With Greg Loughman on bass\, and guest performer Matt DeChamplain on piano\, Rhythm Future is dedicated to expanding the boundaries of a vital musical genre. \nThe Fall of 2018 marked the release of their newest album\, “Rhythm Future Quartet and Friends”\, which features the critically acclaimed singer Cyrille Aimée\, brazil’s top bandolimist Hamilton de Holanda\, and guitarist Stochelo Rosenberg. While maintaining the effervescent lilt\, virtuosic musicianship and adventurous musical leanings of their previous recordings\, Rhythm Future Quartet and Travels (picked as one of the best jazz albums of 2016 by All About Jazz and the Huffington Post)\, RFQ and Friends brings vibrant new colors to the mix. \n \nWith its arresting blend of Hot Club of France styled string jazz\, Brazilian and East European idioms\, original compositions and hints of classical music\, the album marks a significant moment in the growth of a continually evolving ensemble. (And one with continually increasing popularity: the quartet’s version of Django’s “Minor Swing” has over four million views on YouTube\, while their video clip of “Bushwick Stomp” from Travels has over three million Facebook views.) \nJason Anick\, an award-winning composer and one of the youngest violin professors at the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Boston\, has shared the stage with an array of artists including Grammy award winning guitarist John Jorgenson\, Stevie Wonder\, The Jim Kweskin Jug Band\, and Tommy Emmanuel. After relocating from Scandinavia Olli Soikkeli quickly became a top call guitarist in the bustling Brooklyn jazz scene. He has performed alongside Cyrille Aimee\, and the celebrated guitarists Frank Vignola and Bucky Pizzarelli\, and many prominent contemporary players. \n \nPianist Matt DeChamplain is from Hartford\, Connecticut. He obtained his bachelors degree from the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz at the Hartt School in 2010 and graduated with his masters from the University of Toledo in Ohio in 2012. Matt has performed at the Berks Jazz Festival\, New York’s JVC Jazz Festival\, Jazz at Lincoln Center\, Django By The Sea Gypsy Jazz Festival and jazz clubs such as the Regatta Bar\, The Side Door\, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola\, Smalls and Yoshi’s. Currently Matt holds a faculty position at The Hartt School of Music (University of Hartford) and has taught at The Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts\, The Artist’s Collective (founded by Jackie McLean)\, the Litchfield Jazz Camp and New Hampshire and Maine’s Jazz All-State programs. While maintaining an active performance and teaching schedule\, Matt continues to arrange and compose.\nBook online now!
