Bach, and George Washington’s favorite composer. Alexander Reinagle was born in Edinburgh and emigrated to America in 1786. He soon established himself as Philadelphia’s most renowned musician, and after George Washington heard him at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Washington engaged him to give piano lessons to Martha’s granddaughter, Nelly Custis. Nelly was ten when she began her instruction in 1789, and within a few years, Reinagle had completed several large Sonatas for the piano which are today known as the Philadelphia Sonatas. Although they were not published till long after his death, he performed them frequently at public concerts, and today they are regarded as the most significant keyboard music composed in Early America. Presenting Reinagle’s work on both piano, as well as the more historically appropriate fortepiano, will be Stephen Siek, whose recording of the Philadelphia Sonatas remains the gold standard. Siek will also present commentary on the work as well as a lecture with projections illustrating the life and work of the composer. This concert is sponsored by a generous donation from Gretchen Brosius. This concert is part of Other Minds' PastForward piano series and is supported in part by a grant from the Ross McKee Foundation. less

The touring band of drummer John Mader (Steve Miller, John Fogarty, Booker T, Patti Austin, Peter Frampton, Bonnie Raitt), the amazing virtuoso bass player Fabio Crespiatico, and keyboard /guitarist Troy Dexter (WilsonPhillips, Don Felder, Dionne Warwick) will be joined by soulful vocalist Hollye Dexter. This is a joyful, uplifting group of musicians to watch and hear. Besides the band’s celebrated virtuosic musicianship, four-part vocal harmony adds a new dimension to Carl’s lengthy musical catalog that spans over three decades. After many years of playing with just a trio, the addition of keyboard player and multi-instrumentalist Troy Dexter brings a second guitar and vocals into the mix. These concerts will focus on new music as well as favorites from Carl’s albums dating back to 1988. Although all the music is rooted and informed by the blues, any single show combines rock, jazz, jam, fusion, and country music in both electric and acoustic settings. Fans of real music, improvised and created in real time with no backing tracks or “playback,” will enjoy the ride. Many fans join us “on the road” in an effort to see multiple shows since no two are alike! An exciting concert for all ages! Carl says, “During my many years with Supertramp, we would make a record, then head out on an extensive tour or two to promote it. The late Rick Davies always bemoaned the fact that the record was a demo for the tour. So I try to reverse that order by taking the music on the road and fine-tuning it before recording. This results in a much better record.” The CVB will play songs from the new Promised Future album as well as a selection of original and non-original music from his 18-CD catalog. The focus is on Carl’s original approach to the guitar, but set in the context of a wid less

How it works: The hosts will encourage audience members to shout out ideas for themes. It could be a theme you have a story about, or a theme you want to hear some true stories about. We'll write them down and then the fun begins. You can also take your time between now and the show and craft a story on our pre-announced theme, which is Coming Clean. We usually have time for about 10 storytellers. Any story is good as long as it's true, about you, and five to six minutes long. We'll have a timer to keep you on track. Remember, no notes or reading allowed. You'll tell it like you're telling friends around the dinner table. Hosted by creator Julie Soller & comic Inanc Ino. Tickets at StorySlam Oakland less

In this off the rails unconventional magic show, we take you on a tour of the impossible. Performing this evening are three great illusionists: Master magician Al Skinner, blends sleight of hand, mind-blowing illusions, audience participation, and comedy into a night designed to amaze guests of all ages. Skinner was Voted Best Magician and People’s Choice entertainer in Northern California. Guests laugh so hard they’ll have tears streaming down their faces. Dennis Thompson is a modern mentalist and “collector of thoughts” whose shows blend psychology, suggestion, and razor-clean audience interaction. With impossible predictions, uncanny mind-reads, and high-energy humor, Dennis turns private thoughts into public astonishment—always elegant, always impossible, never “psychic,” just world-class mystery. William Francis has 15 years of experience entertaining guests at a variety of events from small celebrations to large corporate events for companies including Apple. His repertoire includes close-up magic to interactive stage performances. A favorite young magician currently performing. Tickets at Mischief, Magic & Mentalism less

Featuring material connected to early projects such as Realistic Orchestra, Shotgun Wedding Quintet, and other formative ensembles, the performance reconnects with the sounds that helped define the collective’s foundation. Expect adventurous compositions, layered grooves, and inventive improvisation, with surprise guests appearing from across the Jazz Mafia musical family.

But Guinga is less well-known in the U.S. (he rarely comes here to perform), and considering his successful five-decade career, he's an unusually modest musician. Guinga's full name is Carlos Althier de Souza Lemos Escobar. He grew-up in a working-class suburb of Rio de Janeiro and his uncle taught him how to play the guitar when he was 11. At home, he heard Italian Bel canto, Brazilian and American music on his parents' Victrola. As a guitarist, he began his career accompanying Clara Nunes, Beth Carvalho, Alaíde Costa, João Nogueira, and Cartola. Many of his songs were recorded by acclaimed artists such as Elis Regina, Michel Legrand, Sergio Mendes, Chico Buarque, Miúcha, Ivan Lins, Leila Pinheiro, Fátima Guedes, Mônica Salmaso, and Hamilton de Holanda. He has collaborated with lyricists such as Paulo Cesar Pinheiro, Aldir Blanc, Chico Buarque, Nei Lopes, Sergio Natureza, Nelson Motta, José Miguel Wisnik, Simone Guimarães, Francisco Bosco, Mauro Aguiar, and Thiago Amud, among others. In this show Guinga will sing and play his original music. The Brazilian singer and songwriter Anna Paes and Natalie Cressman (on triombone and vocals) will be his special guests.
