SUMMARY:Teri Roiger Quartet feat. Roy Nathanson
DESCRIPTION:Teri Roiger – vocals \nRoy Nathanson – saxophone \nJohn Menegon – bass \nBill Ware – vibes \nMatt Garrity – drums \n  \nROY NATHANSON is a prolific saxophonist\, composer\, bandleader\, poet\, actor and teacher. BILL WARE is a vibraphonist\, composer\, bandleader\, arranger and composer. The two have a long musical friendship that started with the Jazz Passengers\, co-founded by Roy Nathanson and Curtis Fowlkes in 1987. Nearly four decades and 13 albums later\, the band has recorded and performed with Elvis Costello\, Deborah Harry\, Jeff Buckley\, Jimmy Scott\, and Mavis Staples. \nTERI ROIGER\nVOCALIST\, PIANIST\, SONGWRITER\n“Teri has an intuitive laid back sense of time reminiscent of Abbey Lincoln and Betty Carter but with her own uniqueness.” JACK DEJOHNETTE (legendary jazz drummer & NEA Jazz Master) \nAn American jazz musician vocalist\, pianist\, songwriter\, educator\, and producer\, Teri lives in New York City and also spends time in New York’s Hudson Valley. She began playing piano at age 5\, and played church organ throughout her teens. When she discovered jazz in her early 20s – and shortly after made her first demo with the legendary stride pianist Butch Thompson – her musical path was set. \nThroughout the years\, her music has taken many exciting twists and turns. She has performed as a DUO with her husband\, bassist John Menegon\, throughout the U.S.\, Canada\, Mexico\, and Europe\, and they have been featured artists at the San Miguel Jazz Festival (Mexico)\, Panama Jazz Festival (Panama)\, and Bolzano Jazz Festival (Italy)\, where they presented concerts and masterclasses. The depth of her experiences and love of jazz is apparent when she brings all their talents to live performances\, the recording studio\, and through her moving lyrics and compositions. \n  \nBILL WARE – VIBRAPHONE \nHarkening back to a violinist whose freedom from slavery was bought in performance\, Bill Ware’s place within American music is best described as a proud lineage. Vibraphonist\, bassist\, composer\, pianist\, educator and creative adventurer\, Ware’s genre-bending career\, well into its fourth decade\, has been nothing short of riveting. A founding member of the Jazz Passengers and Groove Collective\, he’s also collaborated with Steely Dan\, John Zorn\, JD Parran\, Marc Ribot\, Bobby Sanabria\, Deborah Harry\, the BBC Concert Orchestra\, Chico Mendoza\, Bobby Previte\, Joe Henderson\, Jerome Harris\, the Buffalo Philharmonic\, the Minnesota Symphony\, Elvis Costello\, Arturo O’Farrill\, Andy Summers\, Marshall Crenshaw\, Pink Floyd’s David Gilmore and many more. \n  \nJOHN MENEGON – BASS \nNew York City bassist John Menegon started his career playing bass in Montreal. After having worked for several years on the Canadian jazz scene with the great guitarists Sonny Greenwich\, Mike Gauthier & Nelson Simons\, and saxophonists Steve Grossman & Pat LaBarbara\, he went on to hone his skills in NYC in the mid-80s. Since moving to New York to study Jazz at Long Island University on a full scholarship\, John has performed/recorded with Dewey Redman\, David “Fathead” Newman\, Matt Wilson\, Frank Kimbrough\, John Hicks\, Yoron Israel\, Jack DeJohnette\, Kenny Burrell\, Joel Frahm\, Pat Metheny\, Kenny Barron\, Paul Bley\, Anthony Braxton’s Tri-Centric Orchestra\, Nick Brignola\, Jimmy Cobb\, Al Foster\, Slide Hampton\, Sheila Jordan\, Lee Konitz\, Joe Lovano\, and many others. In addition to touring\, recording\, and composing\, he has created and taught Jazz Workshops on the music of Jaco Pastorius\, Miles Davis\, and Charles Mingus at Williams College (Williamstown\, MA). He has also taught master classes at Jazz Festivals around the world\, including the Panama Jazz Festival\, Bolzano\, (Italy) and San Miguel de Allende. \nMATT GARRITY – DRUMS \nDrummer\, Matt Garrity has been on the New York music scene since 1994. He has performed and recorded with some of the best in the business\, including Grammy winners: Joe Lovano\, Vincent Herring and Steve Slagle\, as well as David Williams\, Teri Thornton\, Peter Bernstein\, David Amram\, Eric Alexander\, Judi Silvano\, Gary Versace\, Ron McLure\, Ed Cherry\, Joel Forrester\, Jeremy Pelt and Jerome Richardson.

SUMMARY:Music & Art Fundraiser for Cats
DESCRIPTION:Sister and brother Gabby (gray Russian Blue) and Chuckleberry Finn (black Maine\nCoone) have been my family since they were born in 2017 to a feral mama I rescued while\ncaring for a cat colony in Rockland County. Instead of letting their mother give birth outside \nto an uncertain fate on a dangerous road\, I trapped her so she could safely have her kittens.\nOver the years\, Gabby and Chuckleberry have been inseparable from\nme and each other\,  especially after I had to defect from Rockland to Ulster County\, due\nto what became a difficult situation from the work I was doing.\nMy cats have brought me deep comfort and joy through thick and thin in my life\, and in I\nhave done everything I could throughout\, to care for them and the other cats in my life.\nI have dedicated myself to taking care of their health needs throughout the years\, and\nnow at this time\, and now Gabby urgently needs seven teeth extracted\, while her\nbrother Chuckleberry needs a large cyst on his back removed after three years of\nmonthly costly drainings at the vet. Total estimated costs for these surgeries plus pre-\nop appointments and essential post medications is $5\,500—far beyond what my\nmusician’s income can cover. I have always given to my community in the ways that I\ncan\, through music\, love\, and support for local wildlife. Now I need assistance to give\nGabby and Chuckleberry the care they deserve\, so they can recover and continue living\nhappy\, healthy lives.\nThose who know me know how much cats have shaped my life\, and how deeply I care\nfor them. I am grateful for any help you can offer\, whether through this GoFundMe camp\naign (including sharing this URL) and/or by attending our upcoming Fundraiser/Music \nConcert & Art Show to be held on July 29th (7 to 10 p.m.) at Lydia’s Cafe in Stoneridge\, NY–there is a\nminimum donation of $25 to get into the event. A big big "thank you" upfront to owners\nMark and Roni of Lydia’s\, total lovers of cats\, who offered their venue for the fundraiser.\nPlease note that any amount you offer will be useful.\n*Although the fundraiser is a SEPARATE event from the GoFundMe campaign online\,\nall collected go to the same place. I humbly thank everyone for their kind support.\nWith love\, Marianne
