EulipiaJazz Launches Concert Series in Arlington

Collaborative musical performances and visual art to be presented at
April 26th debut concert during Boston’s Jazz Week

Arlington, MA . . . On Saturday, April 26th at 7 p.m., EulipiaJazz — a new production company based in Arlington dedicated to creating opportunities for local musicians and multidisciplinary artists to perform and collaborate — will present the first concert in what will be a three-part series at Arlington Center for the Arts Theater at 41 Foster Street in Arlington. Planned to coincide with Boston’s Jazz Week and aiming to ignite collective synergy, EulipiaJazz’s debut concert — made possible in part by a generous grant from the Arlington Arts Council — will bring together a group of highly talented and diverse artists presenting an eclectic program of original musical compositions and visual art.
Two musical groups with ties to Arlington will take the stage at this multifaceted cultural event. Founded by Arlington resident Scott Samenfeld (guitar, bass, composer), Muse Stew also features Arlington resident Karen Gruber (congas, djembe, percussion, and violin), as well as Susanna Fiore (piano, hand drums, and percussion). Dedicated to the music of Samenfeld, the group began playing in the Boston area in the 1990s and has produced two CDs: Crossings (1996) and Live at the Zeitgeist Gallery (2004). Joining Muse Stew at this concert will be guest musicians Todd Brunel (clarinet, bass clarinet, and soprano saxaphone) and Jimmy Repa (tenor and alto saxophone).
Also performing will be Flametet, a jazz-improvisational group led by bassist and composer Kit Demos (bass, analog microtonal synth). The group — which also includes Charlie Kohlhase (alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone), Jeff Platz (guitarist and composer), John Mlellan (drums), Pandelis Karayorgis (pianist and composer), and Arlington resident Todd Brunel (clarinet) — has just released a new recording titled A General History of Flame (www.cdbaby.com/flametet).
Adding another creative layer to this imaginative event will be visual art by Ivy Demos, whose work is informed by an improvisational jazz-like aesthetic based on her childhood jazz music studies. Demos’s work is described as “radiant with kinetic energy . . . a kaleidoscopic storm of primary colors, metallics, and textures.”
The April 26th concert will take place from 7:00–9:30 p.m. Tickets are priced at $15 and can be purchased at the door. “Sounds of Swing Orchestra,” the second concert in EulipiaJazz’s three-part series schedule for Tuesday, June 10th, will feature a 16-piece big band.

EulipiaJazz supports improvisation and collaboration between artists across multiple disciplines in an effort to create a vibrant scene for great performances featuring local artists.
