Inspired by the quiet, thoughtful simplicity of minimalist visual art, eighth blackbird explores what less can mean when translated to music. The stark, simple beauty of Luciers Fidelio Trio and Feldmans Durations I act as analogues to the vast color-filled canvases of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. Langs fast and funky these broken wings obsesses over a simple chord progression, while Pintschers Figura V/Assonanza hovers, barely audible, in the ether. Colliding and contrasting with these explorations of less are more complex, dense pieces by Philippe Hurel and Gyrgy Ligeti, which will test even eighth blackbirds skills.

Imagine yourself in the idyllic French countryside in the 1930s. Sometime before dark, a gypsy caravan sets up camp in a field outside of town, luring the locals out for an evenings fun. The wanderers travel with a film projector, pointing it at the side of a barn. As the images flicker to life beneath the stars, gypsy musicians play their guitars and fiddles, matching every movement on the screen with characteristic virtuosity, passion, and humor. Reviving this lost entertainment, The Hot Club of San Francisco presents Cinema Vivant, an evening of vintage silent films accompanied by live gypsy swing. Cinema Vivant is a celebration of imagination and innovation. Before World War I, European filmmaker Ladislaw Starewicz pioneered stop-action animation, creating a never-before-seen movie experience.

Flamenco Queen Buika, born on the island of Mallorca to African political refugees from Equatorial Guinea, has become a true revelation to those who thought flamenco had little left to contribute to Spanish music and to jazz. Her evident African roots and her cosmopolitanism, developed in clubs in Spain and Americanized during a strange detour to Las Vegas as a Tina Turner impersonator, explain Buikas rare self-possession. But nothing can quite explain her ability to connect; she is one of those rare and wonderful one listen artists. NPR named Buika one of the 50 Great Voices of all time and The New York Times calls her unique blend of flamenco, jazz, soul, and blues luminous... magnificent...superb!
