It will run every second sunday of the month following the "Songwriters i n the Round". The goal of this program is to inspire others to contribute to and support a growing jazz community. Students of all levels can contri bute to this jazz community through performance\, composition\, and apprec iation. Cutting Sessions took place in the 1930’s and 1940’s in many cit ies around the United States. Some of these cities included Kansas City\, Milwaukee\, Chicago\, and of course\, New York City. They were held in sma ller clubs where jazz was played. Musicians would come to these sessions a nd join the band on stage to perform well-known songs of the time\, or sta ndards. One rumor of how the term “cutting sessions” came about is if th e musician did not know the song\, he/she would essentially be “cut” fro m the stage. While this may have been true of these sessions in their time \, there is another belief in how these performances got the name “cuttin g sessions\,” and this is more our vision of the program. Cutting session s offered musicians the opportunity to “cut their teeth.” In other words \, these sessions gave musicians a chance to get their experience in a rea l life situation of performing jazz on stage\, with professionals\, in fro nt of an audience. The “Providence Cutting Sessions” is a program recent ly created by the Artistic Director of AS220\, Bert Crenca\, and a trio of local jazz musicians\, Nick Sollecito\, Mike Bernier\, and Alex Chapman. This program’s mission is two-part. First\, to give jazz musicians a venu e to display their art and talent\; second\, to compose a new repertoire o f jazz standards. “Providence Cutting Sessions” will display new and ori ginal jazz compositions by local musicians. These compositions will mainly be in the style of the “Real Book\,” which contains hundreds of well-kn own jazz standards. This program welcomes jazz musicians to come to perfor mances and sit in with the house trio. All instruments are welcome. Origin al charts will be made available at performances and online in .pdf format (go to www.anglesideside.com for more info). Available charts have been t ransposed in keys C\, B flat and E flat. We welcome composers to submit or iginal songs to be performed (email providencecuttingsessions@gmail.com fo r more info). I hope this program will be of interest to jazz musicians th rough out the state. Please encourage students to get involved in this pro gram.

Constant dizziness and the smell of burni ng sugar became a permanent part of their psyches\, and is consequently th eir biggest influence. One morning while brushing their teeth\, toothpaste running sideways out of their mouths\, Nedelle pronounced the word ’Cryp tacize’ and the house appeared to incline in the opposite direction! Soon after this strange incident\, they discovered something even stranger on youtube - a drummer named Michael Carreira\, who they sought out and convi nced to join their uncanny crusade.

It will run every second sunday of the month following the "Songwriters i n the Round". The goal of this program is to inspire others to contribute to and support a growing jazz community. Students of all levels can contri bute to this jazz community through performance\, composition\, and apprec iation. Cutting Sessions took place in the 1930’s and 1940’s in many cit ies around the United States. Some of these cities included Kansas City\, Milwaukee\, Chicago\, and of course\, New York City. They were held in sma ller clubs where jazz was played. Musicians would come to these sessions a nd join the band on stage to perform well-known songs of the time\, or sta ndards. One rumor of how the term “cutting sessions” came about is if th e musician did not know the song\, he/she would essentially be “cut” fro m the stage. While this may have been true of these sessions in their time \, there is another belief in how these performances got the name “cuttin g sessions\,” and this is more our vision of the program. Cutting session s offered musicians the opportunity to “cut their teeth.” In other words \, these sessions gave musicians a chance to get their experience in a rea l life situation of performing jazz on stage\, with professionals\, in fro nt of an audience. The “Providence Cutting Sessions” is a program recent ly created by the Artistic Director of AS220\, Bert Crenca\, and a trio of local jazz musicians\, Nick Sollecito\, Mike Bernier\, and Alex Chapman. This program’s mission is two-part. First\, to give jazz musicians a venu e to display their art and talent\; second\, to compose a new repertoire o f jazz standards. “Providence Cutting Sessions” will display new and ori ginal jazz compositions by local musicians. These compositions will mainly be in the style of the “Real Book\,” which contains hundreds of well-kn own jazz standards. This program welcomes jazz musicians to come to perfor mances and sit in with the house trio. All instruments are welcome. Origin al charts will be made available at performances and online in .pdf format (go to www.anglesideside.com for more info). Available charts have been t ransposed in keys C\, B flat and E flat. We welcome composers to submit or iginal songs to be performed (email providencecuttingsessions@gmail.com fo r more info). I hope this program will be of interest to jazz musicians th rough out the state. Please encourage students to get involved in this pro gram.
