KFAR presents... KNISHMAS! It's not a 'silent night' for us... 12/24 @ Cubby Bear
Wrigleyville
On a night when Jews traditionally eat Chinese food or watch movies, KFAR presents
its 6th Annual KNISHMAS event. Billed as the alternative to xmas eve alternatives,
KNISHMAS always features talented acts with a contemporary take on Jewish culture.
This year highlights folk-rockers Even Sh'Siyah with their blend of extended-play,
Allman Brothers style southern rock jams, spiritual themes and lyrics in Hebrew and
English. The Chicago band has released three albums over its ten year history,
"Through Your Gates O Jerusalem," "The Way Jews Rock" and last year's "Wake Up" (all
via Sameach). In addition to its innovative approach to Jewish music, the band
prides itself on being Chicago's most professional Jewish music act; only one of its
members is a full-time time musician, the rest pursuing careers in law, dentistry,
education, the rabbinate- things a Jewish mother can be proud of.
Also performing is singer/songwriter RavShmuel, (aka Shmuel Skaist) a Brooklyn
denizen and frequent regular at Greenwich Village's Sidewalk Cafe. An ordained
Rabbi who heads up a Yeshiva by day, RavShmuel once followed jam band Phish around
the country performing in the pre-show haze with his first band, Gefilte Fish. He
now spends his free time drinking beer, recording and performing his solo material,
which landed him a deal with the Sony JMG imprint last year. His satiric single
"Protocols of the Elders of Zion" became something of a hit on Myspace and YouTube.
This KNISHMAS also hearkens back to a previous tradition when the event, then held
at Hideout and curated by local rocker Ellen Rosner, featured local songwriters'
original Hanukah and Jewy songs. This year, that element returns with fresh
material from Alan Sufrin, Miriam Brosseau, Evan Jacover, Moshe Averick, Rachel Kohl
Finegold and KFAR's own founder Adam Davis, who despite holding a degree from the
Cincinnati Conservatory of Music will be performing at a KFAR event for the first
time ever. By creating a forum for the performance of these new songs by local
artists, KNISHMAS is more than an alternative party event- it fosters the future of
Jewish cultural expression. That's one of the goals of the presenting organization,
KFAR Jewish Arts Center, whose mission is to stimulate, promote and produce the next
generation of Jewish expression.
That sets KNISHMAS apart from other 'Matzo Ball' type events in town that night.
None of them feature live entertainment, nor does any have real content other than
the superficial element of 90% of their attendees being Jewish. "That's fine for
some, but for others, paying $30 for the upclose and personal drunken version of
Jdate is not appealing," says Davis. "We offer a real different vibe. Singles show
up to KNISHMAS too, but its not a singles event- everyone's welcome, even gentiles
not waiting up for Santa. That way the pressure is off and meeting people is
actually easier."
Ticket prices are about half of other events so there's a savings incentive. Of
course, its a Jewish event, so there's one other possible appeal. For although
nobody's counting on a midnight appearance of a fat man in a suit, there's always
anticipation of the possibility of a midnight knish drop.
KFAR Jewish Arts Center is an independent, non-denominational organization serving
Chicago's Jewish community with contemporary Jewish arts presentations and programs
that simultaneously enrich and celebrate our culture. KFAR is dedicated to
stimulating, promoting and producing the next generation of Jewish expression.

The acclaimed New York music duo Good For the Jews will be "Putting The Ha! In Hannukah" throughout December, with a thirteen-city tour of North American cities with large Jewish populations.
Good For the Jews' tour is being sponsored by Heeb magazine. Heeb recently named Good For the Jews singer Rob Tannenbaum to the Heeb 100, an elite list of "young, smart and innovative" Jews in the arts. (See heeb100.com/comedy.html)
In less than a year, Rob Tannenbaum and partner David Fagin have won rave reviews around the country from the (mostly Jewish-owned) media.
"This is not your father's Judaism: Funny, loud, over-the-top. Jews with an edge and proud of it." —Baltimore Jewish Times
"Rob Tannenbaum, the snarky mastermind of What I Like About Jew, has a cutting new band that makes Adam Sandler sound like an altar boy." —New York Magazine
"Their musical interpretations of Jewish life have been called 'hilarious' from coast to coast." —Philadelphia Weekly
"Appeals to the same type of young-adult audience that eats up Jon Stewart and Sarah Silverman." —Chicago Jewish News
"A pair of razor-sharp wiseacres." —Village Voice
"Unorthodox, irreverent and hilarious." —Blueprint
"Hilarious brilliance." —New Jersey Jewish Standard
Good For the Jews is the new band from What I Like About Jew creator Rob Tannenbaum. Tannenbaum was featured in Time Out New York's cover story on "The New Super Jews" and in last year's New York Times feature on "the Jewish hipster moment."
A groundbreaking approach to songs about Jewish life brought What I Like About Jew national acclaim, a four-star review on AllMusic.com, and an NPR profile by Terry Gross of "Fresh Air." "Hilarious," said the Village Voice. "Hilarious," said the Baltimore CityGuide. "Hilarious," said the Jewish Telegraph. "Hilarious," said Jewlicious.com. "Hilarious," said the SF Bay Guardian.

Living Traditions is proud to announce the 23rd Annual Yiddish Folk Arts Program, KlezKamp, featuring our 2007 theme:
Mame-Loshn: Women in Yiddish Culture
December 23-28, 2007
To understand the centrality of women in the world of Yiddish, one need only look to our title for this year's theme, the coziest and most intimate expression used to describe our language: Mame Loshn: Mother Tongue.
For from its earliest incarnations—one of the first books published in Yiddish, the Tzena-Rena (a translation for women of Torah lore,
prayers and commentary)—to the unprecedented number of women on today's klezmer bandstands, the contributions of women to the vitality of Yiddish culture are undiminished.
To celebrate this tradition, KlezKamp—whose staff is 51% women—focuses on heroines such as poet Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman and veteran drummer Elaine Hoffman Watts, both winners of the prestigious National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Folklife Award. (Elaine, along with daughter Susan Watts, will be recording a new CD during KlezKamp, another in our "A Living Tradition" anthology series.) We also welcome dance historian Judith Brin Ingber and legendary onagenarian pianist Shirlee Paul, and welcome back literary scholar Anita Norich.
Beyond the Mame Loshn theme, KlezKamp offers its vast array of Yiddish arts including multi-tiered music classes, an expanded vocal program, all-Yiddish offerings, more general interest classes and our second-to-none KlezKids program and teen theater troupe.
Our venue, the Hudson Valley Resort and Spa, offers luxury in the Catskill tradition, with a kitchen run by celebrated Culinary Institute of American graduate Chef Ed Kelly under the shtreng Glatt Kosher hashgokhe of Ha-rov Gershon Kreuser.
Now in our 23rd year, KlezKamp continues to innovate and inspire as a model for the vigorous and widespread resurgence of Yiddish culture around the world. Be one of thousands who, over the years, have made KlezKamp the Capitol of Yiddishland.

Trio TAQ was founded in Boston in 2002 while Masecki, Stevenson and Ravitz were studying at the Berklee College of Music. During a six-hour session of original compositions and improvisations, Marcin, Garth, and Ziv experienced a chemistry and magic like no other, and forged a lifelong bond and band. They began performing in Boston and New York and in March 2003 made their first trip together to Poland. Audiences were immediately captured by the energy, connectivity, telepathy, and honesty of the music. Over the next four years TAQ continued touring in Eastern and Western Europe at major jazz festivals and piano festivals like the London Jazz Festival and the International Jazz Piano Festival in Prague, as well as in clubs and concert halls. In 2005 TAQ recorded their album “TAQ Live in Minsk Mazowiecki.” Collectively they have performed with an impressive roster of notable artists including Joe Lovano, Lee Konitz, Tomasz Stanko, George Garzone, Ben Monder, Dave Samuels, Avishai Cohen and many others.
Masecki, a jazz prodigy who by age 12 was a regular at the legendary Polish jazz club “Akwarium,” was at 15 a member of the acclaimed Polish group Alchemik, which won the Grand Prix at the Jazz Hoeilaart Competition in Brussels, where Masecki himself won the award for “Best Soloist.” He tours extensively, performing at international jazz festivals, clubs, and major stage concert venues, often performing beside the great trumpeter Tomasz Stanko and opening for such jazz greats as the Branford Marsalis Quartet at the Skok Jazz Sopot in 2005 and recently for Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at the Warsaw Jazz Summer Days Festival. Following last year’s sell-out solo performance at Joe’s Pub, Marcin Masecki will join his outstanding New York based partners Stevenson and Ravitz for a series of Trio TAQ performances that promise to be unforgettable in their powerful energy, technical mastery, melodic richness, and improvisational intricacy. Detailed biographies follow on the next page.
MARCIN MASECKI was born in 1982 in Warsaw, Poland. At age 3 he started training with his father and at 7 took up the piano. He quickly showed interest in improvisation, and by 12 he was a regular at the legendary Polish jazz club "Akwarium". A year later he formed a piano trio and over the next years played frequently in clubs and entered three competitions, winning second place at the 1997 Jazz Sarteano Competition in Siena, Italy, and first place in two competitions in Poland. At 15 Masecki joined the much larger Polish jazz group "Alchemik" and co-wrote most of their output, which was recorded on four CDs. The group enjoyed great success for several years, playing in jazz festivals and clubs all over Europe. At 16 Masecki won the award for "Best Soloist" at the Jazz Hoeilaart Competition in Brussels (1999) while Alchemik won first place. That same year he was voted by Poland's main jazz magazine (Jazz Forum) as the year's "greatest hope for the future of Polish jazz."
Meanwhile he was working intensely on classical music. At 15 he entered the Fryderyk Chopin Music School in Warsaw on a dual major – Jazz and Classical. A year later he performed Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto with the Kielce Symphony Orchestra. At 18 he gave his music school graduation recital held at the Fryderyk Chopin Museum in Warsaw. He continued his studies on a scholarship at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, graduating in 2 1/2 years. During his stay there he formed the trio TAQ with Garth Stevenson on bass and Ziv Ravitz on drums. Upon his return to Warsaw he married, and re-entered the Polish jazz world. In 2005 he entered the Moscow International Jazz Piano Competition and won first place. In Warsaw he got particularly involved in the free improvisational scene as well as intense research into 18th century music, culminating in the building of his own clavichord (predecessor of the piano). In the summer of 2006, at 24, he organized a 6-day festival under his name in which he played every night in a different setting – the first concert was Bach's Viola da Gamba Sonatas and the last was a free jazz quartet. That same year Masecki started working with the DJ collective "Innocent Sorcerers". Together with trumpet player Tomasz Stanko they have performed at various festivals, including the Heineken Open'er Fest in Gdynia.
Other bands he has worked with include Pink Freud, Zbigniew Wegehaupt Quartet, Muzykoterpia, Mitch & Mitch, and artists include Michal Urbaniak, Dave Samuels, George Garzone, and Candelaria Saenz Valiente, among many others. He regularly performs solo improvised concerts as well, recently opening for the Branford Marsalis Quartet. This summer he will also be opening for the Wynton Marsalis Orchestra in the Warsaw Jazz Summer Days festival. His first solo album is scheduled for release in September 2007 on the label LADO ABC.
At the beginning of 2007, in search of artistic adventure, he moved to London, where he now lives. www.marcinmasecki.com
GARTH STEVENSON was born in Kelowa, British Columbia, Canada. He studied piano from a young age and switched to bass in high school. In 2001 he was chosen to represent British Columbia in the National Artists program at the Canada Summer Games in London, Ontario. There, he composed Interplay, a piece for bass, clarinet, Inuit throat singing, piano, trumpet and percussion. At seventeen he received a full scholarship to study at the Berklee College of Music. He excelled in the Berklee community and won many performance and composition awards. He was chosen to represent the Jazz Composition Department at the Student Awards Concert in 2004 with his composition Legacy. In Memory of Lee Ryman. While in Boston he performed with jazz greats such as George Garzone, Joe Lovano, Bob Moses, David Tronzo, Ben Monder, Bob Gullotti, John Lockwood, Mick Goodrick, Hal Crook, and Nat Mugavero, and formed the band TAQ with pianist Marcin Masecki and drummer Ziv Ravitz. TAQ began touring throughout Europe in 2003 where they have become underground legends in the improvisational music world, especially in Poland. He graduated from Berklee in 2004 with a degree in jazz composition and performance; then moved to New York City.
In New York he is busy performing in the improvised music scene. He is constantly exploring the possibilities of sound manipulation on his double bass through the use of effects pedals and processing. He recently performed in the avant-garde Vision Festival in a concert tribute to Leroy Jenkins. He is currently recording a debut solo album for solo bass.
Garth is also a member of the successful folk/rock group, The Sonya Kitchell Band. Their debut album Words Came Back To Me sold over 100,000 copies and led the band to performances on David Letterman, XM Radio, Sirius Radio, and at major festivals including Bonnaroo, The North Sea Jazz Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival. He has performed throughout the United State, Canada, Europe and Japan. www.garthstevenson.com
ZIV RAVITZ. born in Beer-Sheva, Israel, to a family of musicians, was drawn to music at an early age, playing the guitar, keyboard and drum. When he was 9 years old he started focusing on drums and by the age of 13 had begun his professional career, playing the drums at various clubs in Beer-Sheva and Tel Aviv and acquiring experience in a variety of musical styles, such as jazz, rock and avant-garde. In 1999 Ziv was chosen as a reserve drummer for guest performers from Europe and the United States at the Camelot Jazz Club in Tel Aviv. Ziv moved to the US in the summer of 200 to expand his musical experience and grow as a Jazz composer. Since then he has been performing and recording with numerous ensembles in the Boston area as a freelancer and as an artist, using his own compositions, which reflect his individual and unique sound. Ziv had the opportunity to perform with musicians such as Hal Crook, Greg Hopkins, Joe Lovano, Lee Konitz, Eugene Friesen, Mick Goodrick, Eli Dejibri, James Genus, George Garzone, Ben Monder, Avishai Cohen and more. In the winter of 2003, Ziv has become an official recording artist of Huber Music Management and Recording label of Cologne, Germany. In June 2003 Ziv won the Zildjan Scholarship Award. Since then Ziv has toured extensively all across Europe with various groups such as TAQ, Minsarah, Sin, Nicolas Simon Group, and the Iasi Romanian Philharmonic Orchestra. In Dec. 2004 Ziv graduated from Berklee School of Music with a Jazz Composition Degree. Ziv is currently signed as an ENJA recording artist. www.zivravitz.com

Trio TAQ was founded in Boston in 2002 while Masecki, Stevenson and Ravitz were studying at the Berklee College of Music. During a six-hour session of original compositions and improvisations, Marcin, Garth, and Ziv experienced a chemistry and magic like no other, and forged a lifelong bond and band. They began performing in Boston and New York and in March 2003 made their first trip together to Poland. Audiences were immediately captured by the energy, connectivity, telepathy, and honesty of the music. Over the next four years TAQ continued touring in Eastern and Western Europe at major jazz festivals and piano festivals like the London Jazz Festival and the International Jazz Piano Festival in Prague, as well as in clubs and concert halls. In 2005 TAQ recorded their album “TAQ Live in Minsk Mazowiecki.” Collectively they have performed with an impressive roster of notable artists including Joe Lovano, Lee Konitz, Tomasz Stanko, George Garzone, Ben Monder, Dave Samuels, Avishai Cohen and many others.
Masecki, a jazz prodigy who by age 12 was a regular at the legendary Polish jazz club “Akwarium,” was at 15 a member of the acclaimed Polish group Alchemik, which won the Grand Prix at the Jazz Hoeilaart Competition in Brussels, where Masecki himself won the award for “Best Soloist.” He tours extensively, performing at international jazz festivals, clubs, and major stage concert venues, often performing beside the great trumpeter Tomasz Stanko and opening for such jazz greats as the Branford Marsalis Quartet at the Skok Jazz Sopot in 2005 and recently for Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at the Warsaw Jazz Summer Days Festival. Following last year’s sell-out solo performance at Joe’s Pub, Marcin Masecki will join his outstanding New York based partners Stevenson and Ravitz for a series of Trio TAQ performances that promise to be unforgettable in their powerful energy, technical mastery, melodic richness, and improvisational intricacy. Detailed biographies follow on the next page.
MARCIN MASECKI was born in 1982 in Warsaw, Poland. At age 3 he started training with his father and at 7 took up the piano. He quickly showed interest in improvisation, and by 12 he was a regular at the legendary Polish jazz club "Akwarium". A year later he formed a piano trio and over the next years played frequently in clubs and entered three competitions, winning second place at the 1997 Jazz Sarteano Competition in Siena, Italy, and first place in two competitions in Poland. At 15 Masecki joined the much larger Polish jazz group "Alchemik" and co-wrote most of their output, which was recorded on four CDs. The group enjoyed great success for several years, playing in jazz festivals and clubs all over Europe. At 16 Masecki won the award for "Best Soloist" at the Jazz Hoeilaart Competition in Brussels (1999) while Alchemik won first place. That same year he was voted by Poland's main jazz magazine (Jazz Forum) as the year's "greatest hope for the future of Polish jazz."
Meanwhile he was working intensely on classical music. At 15 he entered the Fryderyk Chopin Music School in Warsaw on a dual major – Jazz and Classical. A year later he performed Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto with the Kielce Symphony Orchestra. At 18 he gave his music school graduation recital held at the Fryderyk Chopin Museum in Warsaw. He continued his studies on a scholarship at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, graduating in 2 1/2 years. During his stay there he formed the trio TAQ with Garth Stevenson on bass and Ziv Ravitz on drums. Upon his return to Warsaw he married, and re-entered the Polish jazz world. In 2005 he entered the Moscow International Jazz Piano Competition and won first place. In Warsaw he got particularly involved in the free improvisational scene as well as intense research into 18th century music, culminating in the building of his own clavichord (predecessor of the piano). In the summer of 2006, at 24, he organized a 6-day festival under his name in which he played every night in a different setting – the first concert was Bach's Viola da Gamba Sonatas and the last was a free jazz quartet. That same year Masecki started working with the DJ collective "Innocent Sorcerers". Together with trumpet player Tomasz Stanko they have performed at various festivals, including the Heineken Open'er Fest in Gdynia.
Other bands he has worked with include Pink Freud, Zbigniew Wegehaupt Quartet, Muzykoterpia, Mitch & Mitch, and artists include Michal Urbaniak, Dave Samuels, George Garzone, and Candelaria Saenz Valiente, among many others. He regularly performs solo improvised concerts as well, recently opening for the Branford Marsalis Quartet. This summer he will also be opening for the Wynton Marsalis Orchestra in the Warsaw Jazz Summer Days festival. His first solo album is scheduled for release in September 2007 on the label LADO ABC.
At the beginning of 2007, in search of artistic adventure, he moved to London, where he now lives. www.marcinmasecki.com

In 2001 he was chosen to represent British Columbia in the National Artists program at the Canada Summer Games in London, Ontario. There, he composed Interplay, a piece for bass, clarinet, Inuit throat singing, piano, trumpet and percussion. At seventeen he received a full scholarship to study at the Berklee College of Music. He excelled in the Berklee community and won many performance and composition awards. He was chosen to represent the Jazz Composition Department at the Student Awards Concert in 2004 with his composition Legacy. In Memory of Lee Ryman. While in Boston he performed with jazz greats such as George Garzone, Joe Lovano, Bob Moses, David Tronzo, Ben Monder, Bob Gullotti, John Lockwood, Mick Goodrick, Hal Crook, and Nat Mugavero, and formed the band TAQ with pianist Marcin Masecki and drummer Ziv Ravitz. TAQ began touring throughout Europe in 2003 where they have become underground legends in the improvisational music world, especially in Poland. He graduated from Berklee in 2004 with a degree in jazz composition and performance; then moved to New York City.
In New York he is busy performing in the improvised music scene. He is constantly exploring the possibilities of sound manipulation on his double bass through the use of effects pedals and processing. He recently performed in the avant-garde Vision Festival in a concert tribute to Leroy Jenkins. He is currently recording a debut solo album for solo bass.
Garth is also a member of the successful folk/rock group, The Sonya Kitchell Band. Their debut album Words Came Back To Me sold over 100,000 copies and led the band to performances on David Letterman, XM Radio, Sirius Radio, and at major festivals including Bonnaroo, The North Sea Jazz Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival. He has performed throughout the United State, Canada, Europe and Japan. www.garthstevenson.com

Trio TAQ was founded in Boston in 2002 while Masecki, Stevenson and Ravitz were studying at the Berklee College of Music. During a six-hour session of original compositions and improvisations, Marcin, Garth, and Ziv experienced a chemistry and magic like no other, and forged a lifelong bond and band. They began performing in Boston and New York and in March 2003 made their first trip together to Poland. Audiences were immediately captured by the energy, connectivity, telepathy, and honesty of the music. Over the next four years TAQ continued touring in Eastern and Western Europe at major jazz festivals and piano festivals like the London Jazz Festival and the International Jazz Piano Festival in Prague, as well as in clubs and concert halls. In 2005 TAQ recorded their album “TAQ Live in Minsk Mazowiecki.” Collectively they have performed with an impressive roster of notable artists including Joe Lovano, Lee Konitz, Tomasz Stanko, George Garzone, Ben Monder, Dave Samuels, Avishai Cohen and many others.
Masecki, a jazz prodigy who by age 12 was a regular at the legendary Polish jazz club “Akwarium,” was at 15 a member of the acclaimed Polish group Alchemik, which won the Grand Prix at the Jazz Hoeilaart Competition in Brussels, where Masecki himself won the award for “Best Soloist.” He tours extensively, performing at international jazz festivals, clubs, and major stage concert venues, often performing beside the great trumpeter Tomasz Stanko and opening for such jazz greats as the Branford Marsalis Quartet at the Skok Jazz Sopot in 2005 and recently for Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at the Warsaw Jazz Summer Days Festival. Following last year’s sell-out solo performance at Joe’s Pub, Marcin Masecki will join his outstanding New York based partners Stevenson and Ravitz for a series of Trio TAQ performances that promise to be unforgettable in their powerful energy, technical mastery, melodic richness, and improvisational intricacy. Detailed biographies follow on the next page.
MARCIN MASECKI was born in 1982 in Warsaw, Poland. At age 3 he started training with his father and at 7 took up the piano. He quickly showed interest in improvisation, and by 12 he was a regular at the legendary Polish jazz club "Akwarium". A year later he formed a piano trio and over the next years played frequently in clubs and entered three competitions, winning second place at the 1997 Jazz Sarteano Competition in Siena, Italy, and first place in two competitions in Poland. At 15 Masecki joined the much larger Polish jazz group "Alchemik" and co-wrote most of their output, which was recorded on four CDs. The group enjoyed great success for several years, playing in jazz festivals and clubs all over Europe. At 16 Masecki won the award for "Best Soloist" at the Jazz Hoeilaart Competition in Brussels (1999) while Alchemik won first place. That same year he was voted by Poland's main jazz magazine (Jazz Forum) as the year's "greatest hope for the future of Polish jazz."
Meanwhile he was working intensely on classical music. At 15 he entered the Fryderyk Chopin Music School in Warsaw on a dual major – Jazz and Classical. A year later he performed Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto with the Kielce Symphony Orchestra. At 18 he gave his music school graduation recital held at the Fryderyk Chopin Museum in Warsaw. He continued his studies on a scholarship at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, graduating in 2 1/2 years. During his stay there he formed the trio TAQ with Garth Stevenson on bass and Ziv Ravitz on drums. Upon his return to Warsaw he married, and re-entered the Polish jazz world. In 2005 he entered the Moscow International Jazz Piano Competition and won first place. In Warsaw he got particularly involved in the free improvisational scene as well as intense research into 18th century music, culminating in the building of his own clavichord (predecessor of the piano). In the summer of 2006, at 24, he organized a 6-day festival under his name in which he played every night in a different setting – the first concert was Bach's Viola da Gamba Sonatas and the last was a free jazz quartet. That same year Masecki started working with the DJ collective "Innocent Sorcerers". Together with trumpet player Tomasz Stanko they have performed at various festivals, including the Heineken Open'er Fest in Gdynia.
Other bands he has worked with include Pink Freud, Zbigniew Wegehaupt Quartet, Muzykoterpia, Mitch & Mitch, and artists include Michal Urbaniak, Dave Samuels, George Garzone, and Candelaria Saenz Valiente, among many others. He regularly performs solo improvised concerts as well, recently opening for the Branford Marsalis Quartet. This summer he will also be opening for the Wynton Marsalis Orchestra in the Warsaw Jazz Summer Days festival. His first solo album is scheduled for release in September 2007 on the label LADO ABC.
At the beginning of 2007, in search of artistic adventure, he moved to London, where he now lives. www.marcinmasecki.com

There, he composed Interplay, a piece for bass, clarinet, Inuit throat singing, piano, trumpet and percussion. At seventeen he received a full scholarship to study at the Berklee College of Music. He excelled in the Berklee community and won many performance and composition awards.

While in Boston he performed with jazz greats such as George Garzone, Joe Lovano, Bob Moses, David Tronzo, Ben Monder, Bob Gullotti, John Lockwood, Mick Goodrick, Hal Crook, and Nat Mugavero, and formed the band TAQ with pianist Marcin Masecki and drummer Ziv Ravitz. TAQ began touring throughout Europe in 2003 where they have become underground legends in the improvisational music world, especially in Poland. He graduated from Berklee in 2004 with a degree in jazz composition and performance; then moved to New York City.
In New York he is busy performing in the improvised music scene. He is constantly exploring the possibilities of sound manipulation on his double bass through the use of effects pedals and processing. He recently performed in the avant-garde Vision Festival in a concert tribute to Leroy Jenkins. He is currently recording a debut solo album for solo bass.
Garth is also a member of the successful folk/rock group, The Sonya Kitchell Band. Their debut album Words Came Back To Me sold over 100,000 copies and led the band to performances on David Letterman, XM Radio, Sirius Radio, and at major festivals including Bonnaroo, The North Sea Jazz Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival.
