USAF Airmen of Note

The Airmen of Note, stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., is one of six musical ensembles that form the U.S. Air Force Band. Created in 1950 to continue the tradition of Major Glenn Miller’s Army Air Forces dance band, the current band consists of 18 active-duty musicians, including one vocalist. Through the years, the Airmen of Note has presented its own brand of big band and contemporary jazz forms to audiences via annual tours across the United States, deployments worldwide, and local performances throughout metropolitan Washington, D.C. For smaller, more intimate venues, the Airmen of Note Combo and various individual musicians perform apart from the full band to support military and civilian ceremonial and diplomatic events. Their commitment to musical excellence has earned the foremost jazz artists’ respect worldwide, leading to many collaborative performances and recordings with such luminaries as Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Williams, Sarah Vaughan, and Doc Severinsen. In 1990, the Airmen of Note established the Jazz Heritage Series, featuring the “Note” in concert with legendary jazz icons. The series broadcasts to millions on National Public Radio, independent jazz radio stations, satellite radio services, and online. Additionally, the “Note” produces and delivers recorded music to millions of fans worldwide through hundreds of media outlets. One of the group’s holiday recordings, “Cool Yule,” reached #2 on the JazzWeek jazz chart. As part of the U.S. Air Force Band, the Airmen of Note’s mission is to HONOR those who have served, INSPIRE American citizens to heightened patriotism and service, and CONNECT with the global community on behalf of the U.S. Air Force and the United States. The excellence demonstrated by the Airmen of Note reflects the excellence displayed by all Airmen stationed worldwide, whose selfless service and sacrifices ensure the freedoms enjoyed by citizens of the United States of America.

Omoo Omoo / Masma Dream World / Sunken Cages

Co-Presented with NOVA Arts and SHOWROOMThis event is being held at Brewbakers, 48 Emerald St Keene, NH, 03431 United StatesOmoo Omoo is a psych rock-kinda band from New England. They have existed in some form since 2009 but have been dormant since 2022. Blending elements of psych rock, classic prog rock and jazz, the four piece create a wide range of sounds live and on record. Newly reformed and energized, Omoo Omoo will be more active in 2025 and beyond. Listening to Devi Mambouka, known as Masma Dream World, is bearing witness to a personal journey through hell and back. “In the darkest corners of isolation, pain, and despair, my cries for my mother echoed into the abyss. Instead of succumbing to the void, I was found by the goddess, who saved me from my final attempt to escape this mortal coil.” PLEASE COME TO ME is an invitation to a private ritual of healing, an invocation to the ancestors, and a communion with nature. They are the sounds of an elemental longing, and it will haunt you. As a child in Gabon, she sang to the trees, and her music transports you into the depths of the forest in the night, a scary but thrilling place to get lost. She would hear and see ghosts in her father’s house, and she still hears the spirits… There’s a kinship I recognize in MDW’s music, performance, and rituals. Her gothic love affair with the darkness, the mysteries, walking right up to the abyss and peeking inside with awe and curiosity. She doesn’t run from pain, but straight towards it and through, using it as a tool for creation and transcendence. She walks alongside the ghosts and sings to them. Music for the shadow world. Songs you experience, not just listen to. It demands participation. MDW reaches deep-down to the interior of herself at its most vulnerable proving that sorrow can be transformative, and music can heal. The once silent voice of her childhood nightmares is loud and clear now, a voice that can set fire to monsters. Leila Taylor, August 24, 2024 Sunken Cages is the solo-project of drummer/electronic music producer Ravish Momin. Momin studied with US Jazz master-drummer Andrew Cyrille. He has worked as a sideman with a wide array of musicians including US Jazz legend Kalaparush Maurice McIntyre (AACM/Chicago) and pop-star Shakira. In the past, he led Tarana, a shapeshifting global-Jazz trio, on international and domestic stages for the past 14 years His current projects include ‘Turning Jewels Into Water’ (with Haitian electronic music pioneer Val Jeanty), a duo with dragonchild (DA Mekonnen of Debo Band) and Zelzeleh (with Iranian singer/songwriter Kamyar Arsani.) As Sunken Cages, Momin plays electronic drums. While rooted in Indian and Black Music traditions, he is also influenced by the street sounds of underground dance music from Sao Paolo to Durban to Mumbai. He is signed to Akuphone Records (France.) He has done remixes for Depeche Mode, global electronic music producers Batida (Portugal), Babani Sound System (Mauritius) and Guedra Guedra (Morocco). Doors are at 7pm and music will start at 730pm. This show is all ages and seating is limited and also first come first served. Thanks to a grant from TD Charitable Foundation, this show has an Access For All option which lets you name your price (you can’t buy multiples of this option at the same time, so to buy more than one ticket, it is necessary to do each additional ticket in a different transaction).
