BOB PARKER’S JIVE BY FIVE

Drummer Robert Andrew Parker loved jazz from an early age and always had a drum set nearby to play when he wasn’t painting. He played drums in various bands for over 50 years with some great players including guitarist Red Balaban, tenor saxophonist Carmen Leggio, and alto saxophonist Hal McCusick. Jazz informed the artwork that made him a highly regarded artist and illustrator. His favorite music is from the likes of Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Art Tatum, Count Basie, and Louis Armstrong.

Parker led Jive By Five in concert at Music Mountain for over thirty years, performing the great jazz classics. Bob Parker’s Jive By Five returns to Music Mountain led by Christopher Parker, Drums. Christopher Parker has always been a catalyst behind the scenes and especially, behind the drums. Many have written home to say so: Tom Hanks said, “…the hardest working man in show business!" Michael Brecker, "…a natural drummer with a great feel for funk." Tom Scott, "…sweetest human being on the planet." Bob Dylan, "…one of the greats!"

              Violinist Rachell Ellen Wong returns to Cooperstown alongside harpsichordist David Belkovski and cellist Clara Abel, early music specialists of Twelfth Night, to showcase some of the Baroque era’s most groundbreaking composers. This performance begins with Biber’s dramatic Sonata No. 5 in F major, followed by Bach’s intricate Sonata in A major, where the violin and harpsichord engage in a lively dialogue. Veracini’s Sonata in D minor offers a rich tapestry of emotion, pitting the violin versus the cello. The haunting and technically demanding Devil’s Trill by Tartini takes center stage, in Rachell’s own arrangement for solo violin, which is immediately interrupted by Royer’s lively La Marche des Scythes for solo harpsichord. Closing the program are violinist Leclair’s joyful Tambourin and Corelli’s iconic La Folia, a masterclass in fiery violin ornamentation



















     

Caroga Arts Ensemble: Forgotten Sounds

    •   
    • Fenimore Farm and Country Village (map)

    The Caroga Arts Ensemble returns to Cooperstown, featuring KASA Quartet, Linda Chesis, Graeme Steele Johnson, and Bixby Kennedy. In April 2020, clarinetist Graeme Steele Johnson discovered the unpublished manuscript to a forgotten, 127-year-old Octet in the archives of the Library of Congress by the Berlin-born, Boston-based composer Charles Martin Loeffler (1861-1935), one of the most performed American composers of his time. The program centers around Loeffler’s Octet, which Johnson spent a year reconstructing from the 75-page manuscript, creating the first critical edition of the music and revealing a previously unheard kaleidoscopic masterpiece. Clarinetists Bixby Kennedy and Graeme Steele Johnson join forces for an early work by Poulenc, Sonata for Two Clarinets, written at the age of 19. Revel in the sounds of Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro, commissioned in 1905 to feature the latest harp model made by Parisian publisher Maison Erard, as well as Johnson’s arrangement of Debussy’s iconic Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun
