Umbrella Music presents:
Immediate Sound Series
Immediate Sound, the Hideout's series for jazz and improvised music, is curated by Umbrella Music founding member Mitch Cocanig. Beginning in April of 2006, the programming has taken place on each Wednesday night and focuses on presenting established local, domestic, and international musicians. These concerts represent the range of methods utilized by contemporary improvisers in their music, and give audiences a chance to hear them perform in an ideal environment with exceptional acoustics. Over the course of its first four years, the Immediate Sound Series has provided a stage for artists as wide ranging as Fred Anderson and Nicole Mitchell from the AACM, Joe McPhee, Taylor Ho Bynum and Joe Morris from the East Coast, and Peter Brötzmann, Ab Baars, Mats Gustafsson, PNL, and Terrie Ex from Europe; giving them all an integrated platform from which to present their ideas. In addition, each night features a DJ who spins sounds from different genres, to help put the live performances into the greater context of what music is all about - an exchange of creative thinking in sound.
Tim said... This is a residency that I have dreamed about for 10 years. The Immediate Sound Series brings guests from around town and around the world to the Hideout this Wednesday and every Wednesday forever.

Ramsey Lewis's Proclamation of Hope
Featured vocalist Dee Alexander provides stirring soulful improvisations to accompany the orchestra.
Proclamation of Hope is a large scale, multi-media symphonic concert by jazz legend, pianist and composer Ramsey Lewis.
Pianist Ramsey Lewis
Bill Richert
Composer Pianist Ramsey Lewis leads the night’s performance as he unveils each of the concert’s eight original orchestral movements.
Almost 150 years after his untimely death, Abraham Lincoln is considered by many to be America's greatest President, as much for his leadership during a time of crisis as for his eloquence and humanity. Among those artists who were inspired to pay tribute to Lincoln during his bicentennial year was Grammy-winning jazz legend, pianist and composer Ramsey Lewis. In the summer of 2009, Lewis premiered a new, large-scale, multi-media symphonic poem at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Illinois, which had commissioned the work to commemorate Lincoln's 200th birthday.
Now, public television audiences will have the opportunity to experience Lewis' vision, as his profoundly moving work Proclamation of Hope comes to PBS. The work is scored for wind ensemble, rhythm section and voice and is organized in eight discrete movements. Visual images from a range of sources depict various historical moments and concepts, and are viewed as the group performs the composition.
"I not only hoped to inspire people to want to learn more about Abraham Lincoln, but to portray the gains of African Americans and our country while showing challenges yet to be overcome. I hope my audience will feel the inspiration that I felt composing this work as they listen to my music and watch the stirring images on screen." — Ramsey Lewis

A 90-minute mixed-media symphonic tribute to Abraham Lincoln, written and performed by jazz legend Ramsey Lewis at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

CHICAGO – March 15, 2011 – Almost 150 years after his untimely death, Abraham Lincoln is considered by many to be America’s greatest President, as much for his leadership during a time of crisis as for his eloquence and humanity. Among those artists who were inspired to pay tribute to Lincoln during his bicentennial year was Grammy-winning jazz legend, pianist and composer Ramsey Lewis. In the summer of 2009, Lewis premiered a new, large-scale, mixed-media symphonic poem at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Illinois, which had commissioned the work as part of its celebration of the Lincoln bicentennial. Now, public television audiences will have the opportunity to experience Lewis’ vision, as his profoundly moving work PROCLAMATION OF HOPE comes to WTTW on Thursday, April 14 at 9:00 pm.
PROCLAMATION OF HOPE, taped this past November before an enthusiastic audience at the prestigious John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., was composed by Lewis and conducted and arranged by Scott Hall for a 22-piece orchestra -- wind ensemble, rhythm section and voice. The work is organized in eight movements that draw upon jazz, gospel and blues. Each movement was inspired by an actual historical event from or impacted by Lincoln’s life and vision for America, and considers Lincoln’s profound and lasting influence on the United States’ quest to become “a more perfect Union.” The music is performed against visual designer Michael Coakes’ sweeping mixed-media tableau of historic images and photos. University of Pennsylvania music professor Guthrie P. Ramsey, author of Race Music: Black Cultures from Bebop to Hip-Hop, worked with Lewis to provide accompanying written notes.

From Ella to Mandela
The 55-piece Chicago Jazz Philharmonic returns to the Auditorium! From Ella to Mandela: A Celebration of the African and American Spirit presents both a musical exploration of the contributions of female vocalists to the jazz genre and a Nelson Mandela inspired suite, Hope in Action.
From Ella to Mandela will feature some of Chicago’s most celebrated jazz vocalists - Dee Alexander, Terisa Griffin, and Maggie Brown - paying tribute to the legacies of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, and Billie Holiday. The second half of the program is Hope in Action, composed in honor of Mandela’s 90th birthday celebration. This work seamlessly weaves jazz, classical and South African inspired melodies, interspersed with moments of inspirational oration taken from Mandela’s speeches. The work culminates with a grand chorus featuring Soul Children of Chicago. Also featured are celebrated Chicago saxophonists Ari Brown and Ernest Dawkins and special guest orator, actress T’keyah Crystal Keymah.
