PATIO SHOW: The Hot Club of Asheville

The Hot Club of Asheville, led by guitarist Steve Karla, is a collective of Asheville’s finest professional musicians, coming together with a shared love of Gypsy Jazz music. The Club started in 2017, and has been performing weekly shows at various Asheville venues, jazz showcases, and private events since. The band honors the traditional Gypsy Swing in the styles of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli from the 1930-50’s, while infusing the tradition with more modern qualities of jazz expression.

The Hot Club of Asheville is unique as an instrumental band, holding the audience’s attention with classy melodic lines, vibrant improvisations and spirited rhythms. Perfect for an event that may require distinguished yet lively music, the band can function as both background music or the main act. The Core band performs as a quartet of two guitars, violin, and upright bass, and has the ability to play as a trio or add players to suit specific events and the desired sound.

Keith’s Corner at Brevard Music Center: Debussy’s “La Cathédrale Engloutie
Nov 13 all-day
Online

I’ve been involved with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for the last five years. My wife, Emiley, followed her passion for the sea and originally joined the organization as a volunteer, and followed that by accepting a position in WHOI’s administration. She is currently the Deputy General Counsel, and participates in policy and planning for all facets of the organization, which is involved in cutting-edge ocean research all over the world.

When they asked me to perform at their virtual gala in October. I chose Debussy’s piano prelude “La Cathédrale Engloutie,” a piece I have always loved but never gotten around to learning. Debussy’s gorgeous work, which dates from 1910, is a quintessential example of his impressionist style. Its veiled musical imagery paints the subtle play of wind, water, and light. Its program tells of an old Breton legend, about a magical cathedral that rises, on certain crystal-clear mornings, from the watery depths. One hears music that depicts dawn on the ocean, muted sounds of monk’s chanting, bells pealing and the cathedral organ in its full glory as the edifice breaks the surface of the water, and then the long, slow diminuendo as the mystical cathedral returns to the depths.

I chose this piece for them because, at its core, the story it tells is one of humanity’s age-old fascination with what lies below the surface of our oceans. Woods Hole is dedicated to just that knowledge. For more information on this extraordinary institution, please visit whoi.edu.

Drive-in Concert: Keller Williams
Nov 13 @ 7:30 pm – 11:00 pm
Maggie Valley Festival Grounds

Keller Williams: Drive-In Concert at Maggie Valley Festival Grounds

Keller Williams released his first album in 1994, FREEK, and has since given each of his albums a single syllable title: BUZZ, SPUN, BREATHE, LOOP, LAUGH, HOME, DANCE, STAGE, GRASS, DREAM, TWELVE, LIVE, ODD, THIEF, KIDS, BASS, PICK, FUNK, VAPE, SYNC, RAW, SANS and Add, those who have followed his career will know this. Each title serves as a concise summation of the concept guiding each project. GRASS, for example, is a bluegrass recording cut with the husband-wife duo The Keels. STAGE is a live album, and DREAM is the realization of Keller’s wish to collaborate with some of his musical heroes. THIEF is a set of unexpected cover songs, KIDS offers Keller’s first children’s record, PICK presents Keller’s collaboration with royal bluegrass family The Travelin’ McCoury’s, and RAW is a solo acoustic album. Each album showcases Keller’s comprehensive and diverse musical endeavors and functions to provide another piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is Keller Williams. Keller’s collaborative and solo albums reflect his pursuit to create music that sounds like nothing else. Unbeholden to conventionalism, he seamlessly crosses genre boundaries. The end product is astounding and novel music that encompasses rock, jazz, funk and bluegrass, and always keeps the audience on their feet.
