-
- Born in Caracas Venezuela, Otmaro Ruiz began his musical
education at eight years old.
- By 1983, Otmaro Ruiz, had become part of a small, and
elite group of musicians in Venezuela, including: Soledad Bravo, Guillermo
Davila, Nat Adderley, and many others. In 1986, Otmaro Ruiz joined
of one of the most important TV and Radio production companies: Musica
y Letra, joining his partner/mentor Jesus Sanoja, It was this
experience that would prove to be one of the most important factors in
shaping his development as a Composer, Arranger, and eventually, a Producer.
- In 1989, Ruiz moved to Los Angeles, enrolling in California
Institute of the Arts, obtaining his Masters in Jazz Performance. During
this time, it was his association with Drummer/Percussionist Alex Acuna,
that would lead him to another select circle of musicians, including Jazz
Giants Justo Almario, and Abraham Laboriel.
- Ruiz has toured and recorded with: Dianne Reeves,
on the Grammy winning"In the Moment' Live in Concert" and
collaborated with Alex Acuna's "Acuarelas de Tambores"
(also Grammy nominated). Ruiz is continuously sought after, and has
lent his musical talents to virtually every International Jazz Festival,
never losing his versatility his greatest asset, reflecting the love
and respect he feels for all styles of music. Ruiz has just released
"Sojourn" a collection of beautifully crafted original works.

- 9:30 - Raya Yarbrough
-
- She was only seven when her musician father, went back
to the nightclub circuit, and brought her with him. There, in Hollywood
- the real, sticky Hollywood, not the metaphor - she found herself performing
Jazz for diverse and often difficult crowds. This experience shaped her
ability, not only to defend herself with a fork, but to communicate musically.
Today, her style is a kaleidoscope of edgy, truthful songwriting, which
stems from classic jazz roots.
- Raya recently released her debut album on Telarc Records
"Raya Yarbrough"( produced by guitarist-composer Steve
Bartek. formerly of Oingo Boingo, Orchestrator for Danny
Elfman, frequent orchestrator for Jon Brion), which has been
met with great critical enthusiasm from Downbeat, USA Today and
the LA Times among others but before that, in 2003, Raya
began the Alternajazz Festival.
- The Alternajazz Festival is a gathering of musicians
who are on the fringes and forefront of jazz expression. Raya wanted to
create a home for the jazz crossover scene, and an independent route for
creative acts to make a statement and finally, after multiple locations,
it has found a home at the Mint in LA. And here we are.
- In addition, Raya has opened for Terence Blanchard
in New York, and she has also been featured at The Los Angeles Music
Center and at events sponsored by The Thelonious Monk Institute.
While still at the USC Music School, she performed in The Playboy
Jazz Festival at The Hollywood Bowl. Her original songs have been featured
on televisions shows including Girlfriends and Sci-Fi Channel's
hit Battlestar Galactica. and as a studio singer, Raya has
recorded and performed with re-formed Oingo Boingo, and appearing on Neil
Young's ground-breaking album Living With War.

-
- 8:30 - EarthAustria Trio
-
- EarthaAustria, is a unique electric jazz trio.
- EA members Robert Anderson (5 string violin) and
Jacob Szekely (5 string cello) have been pushing the boundaries
of bowed string improvisation since their time as members of the widely
acclaimed SuperNova String Quartet.
-
- Not satisfied with trying to just amplify an acoustic
instrument and play it in an electric setting, they turned to new instruments
and have developed a new musical voice with bowed strings.
-
- They stumbled upon drummer Christopher Garcia,
(best known for his work with Continuum, DeMania, Frank Zappa alumni
-The Grande Mothers Re:Invented) at a performance of Harry Scorzo's
Vio- Fonik in 2007, and they have been rehearsing/recording and peforming
ever since.The repertoire currently consists of original music and original
interpretations of compositions by Jimi Hendrix, Charlie Hunter, Led Zeppelin,
Pat Metheny, Frank Zappa, and "tweaked" jazz standards, where
anything can, and does happen.

- 7:30 - Doug and the Mystics
- Born in Houston, Texas, Doug started playing the piano

tuba and penny whistles. He's toured as a keyboard tech for groups like

Scaggs, Jackson Browne, Tom Petty, Joe Cocker, Stevie Nicks, Bruce Hornsby,
Billy Joel, Simon & Garfunkel, Ry Cooder, The Tubes, Todd Rundgren
and Oingo Boingo. For several years Doug worked with Oingo Boingo,
playing various instruments and singing background vocals when the
band broke up he grabbed the band (without Danny Elfman) and went into
the studio to record a CD called "New Hat" by Doug and the
Mystics. During all this he still maintained the Zydeco Party Band
and has made several CDs with them - the latest is "Do You Know What
it means"
- Does Doug look familiar to you? Aye matey! Doug is also
pirate at Disneyland playing sea shantys on accordion and penny
whistles on Wed., Thur. and Fri., and he also plays three nights a week
in L.A. doing solo piano at the meat-loving Beer frau run, Red Lion
Tavern in Silver Lake.

Paul McCartney playing accordion and singing background vocals,
worked on several films including "BaseketBall" and "The
Bucket List", and just FYI, The Zydeco Party Band was the house
band for "the Late Mr. Pete Show" and "Muppets Tonight".

- OPEN GATE THEATER CONTINUES
-
- Sunday, November 2, at 7:00 p.m.,
- the third in the fall series of Sunday evening concerts
will occur
- presented by Open Gate Theatre,
- a cavalcade of performers in the official
- Dan Morris Memorial Concert.
-
- The concert will take place at the Center for the Arts,
- Eagle Rock, 2225 Colorado Blvd.,
- Eagle Rock (one block west of Eagle Rock Blvd.).
- Admission is $10, students, seniors, and series performers
half price.
- Free parking is plentiful.
- Further information can be obtained by calling (626)
795-4989.
-
- Dan Morris, born and raised
in the Los Angeles area, was a highly gifted multi-percussionist who also
composed his own music and led various versions of his own group, Top Skin
Floor. Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, where he took up drumming
at an early age and played in rock bands before becoming interested in
more adventurous musical endeavors after hearing people like Bill Bruford,
Dan eventually became actively interested in all sorts of music-jazz; progressive
pop; modern classical, Carnatic, African, and other world musics-and ultimately
got involved in playing them all, often incorporating hand drums, mallet
percussion, and electronics into his extended drum set vocabulary at various
times.
-
- Eventually studying at CalArts, Dan immediately became
more active than ever before on the creative music scene after graduating
from there, contributing memorably to the music of such artists as Steuart
Liebig's group Quartetto Stig, James Carney, Noe Venable, Larry Karush,
Brad Dutz's Obliteration Quartet, Michael Jon Fink, Julie Spencer's group
Colored Fish, Matt Piper, Monc, and many others. He may be best known
for being included on a world tour as one of two adjunct percussionists
(along with Steve Hodges) with the Smashing Pumpkins.
-
- A student of such notables as Peter Erskine, Poovalur
Srinivasan, Alfred Ladzekpo, and Julie Spencer, Dan was also a sought-after
drum teacher for many years. His interest in computers, computer games,
and animation eventually took him to a corporate position where he was
last employed, at Activision. Despite a lifetime of often very difficult
and debilitating health challenges, Dan Morris unexpectedly and tragically
died on December 20 of 2007 at the age of thirty-seven after lapsing into
a coma five days prior.
-
- Dan is survived by his wife Marie Morris, who together
with Dan's close friend of many years, Daniel Pinder, has organized this
memorial concert featuring only a few of Dan's many musical friends and
colleagues, as time and space could not allow for the countless artists
touched by Dan's friendship to contribute .
-
- At this writing, scheduled to perform at the event are
- Larry Karush,
- Brad Dutz's Obliteration Trio,
- rock band the Cheat,
- percussion unit the Influx Ensemble,
- Eleni Mandell (accompanied
by Jeremy Drake),
- Takako Uemura,
- Marie Morris,
- Matt Piper,
- and Alex Cline's Band of the Moment
- (including Jeff Gauthier, Dan Clucas, G.E. Stinson,
Wayne Peet, Steuart Liebig, Erin Barnes, and Cline).
-
- The program is subject to change, of course, as some
artists remain unconfirmed.
- Food will also be provided, and a collection of visual
and written tributes to Dan will be on display. It promises to be a very
special occasion as well as a memorable evening of music. Please join
the celebration, musical and otherwise, of the beloved, gifted, and precious
person known as Dan Morris, a uniquely talented artist and product of our
part of the world who left us far too soon.
