SUMMARY:Bruce Forman and The Red Guitar
DESCRIPTION:Jazz At The Cherry proudly welcomes Bruce Forman and The Red Guitar back to our stage on Sunday\, February 11th\, at 1pm. Doors open at 12:30 for wine and light fare included in the ticket price. \nImagine receiving an invitation to a gala featuring John Coltrane\, Sigmund Freud\, and Faust. Bruce Forman’s “The Red Guitar” is all that more. It draws on Forman’s decades of experience as a formidable jazz guitarist and his considerable skill as a storyteller and teacher\, producing a work that is greater than the sum of its dazzling parts. \n​A story in and about jazz\, The Red Guitar showcases Bruce Forman’s genre—breaking inventiveness and his ability to improvise and create within a classical form. Enlisting the full power of the jazz idiom and integrating it with seasoned and provocative story-telling\, he confronts the dilemma of artistic obsession face-to-face—by creating a work of art that simultaneously explores and demonstrates the hold that music has over its most ardent followers\, the hold that poses itself as a life-or-death\, must-be-solved-question to Forman and his ilk: “The Red Guitar.” Do you play it…or does it play you? \nTickets are $35\, available on Eventbrite.com or by calling (831) 624-7491. You won’t want to miss this mesmerizing\, and delightful performance.

SUMMARY:Writing to Discover Inner Strength

Allow yourself the time to reach inward toward your own hidden resources and invite the imagination to speak\, surprise you\, and reveal its treasures. \nAll are welcome\, although class is limited in size. If interested\, please email Nina as soon as possible at ninasolomita@gmail.com. \nDate: Sunday\, April 21\, 2024\nTime: 1:00-3:00 p.m.\nPlace: Carl Cherry Center\, 4th and Guadalupe\, 4th Ave\, Carmel-By-The-Sea\nFee: $40.00 (If fee is a hardship\, discounts available. Inquire in email.) \nNina Solomita\, MFA is a writer\, editor\, and coach. She has assisted writers in a variety of\nprojects for over 25 years. For more information\, go to ninasolomita.com.

SUMMARY:Reimagined Realism
DESCRIPTION:Reimagined Realism\, an exhibition exploring three unexpected approaches to defining contemporary realism\, opens Friday\, May 24th with a reception from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. The event is free and open to the public. Artists’ Walk-through\, free and open to the public\, will be held Saturday\, June 8th\, 2:00-4:00 pm. \nCurated by Darcie Fohrman\, the three distinct artistic perspectives utilize fine art’s established traditions to fissure and reconstitute social narratives. The individual artists adapt and layer popular subject matter into contemporary social narratives that both celebrate and critique our assumptions about natural forces and cultural environments. The integration of past and present\, the inclusion of extraordinary objects and the juxtaposition of unlike elements\, are just a few of the ways the three Monterey County painters conjure the mysteriousness of everyday reality. Often using exquisite detail and unusual perspective\, the artists convey the wonder of observable reality. \nThe exhibit can be seen Monday through Friday\, from noon to 4 pm. or by appointment through June 22nd. \nExhibition sponsored by Chris and Robin Sawyer \nAbout the Artists: \nKirstine Reiner Hansen’s work focuses on the growing dysconnectivity in contemporary life. She describes it as follows: “The ceaseless barrage of stimuli and our struggle to process life lived between tangible and digital worlds is undermining our sense of self. The fragmented universe of figures and spaces featured in my paintings is a contemplation on this conundrum.” \nDon Hughes’ work incorporates narratives about our dystopian world also being helplessly ironic and humorous. Our politics\, climate\, religion\, morality and anything remotely sexual have been fertile ground for the social commentary\, symbolism\,  and humor of his two- and three-dimensional artworks. \nChris Leib continues his “examination of our precarious evolving pathway\, which started long ago\, through an ever-growing cast of wise\, tolerant Bonobos and rambunctious astronaut children.” While seemingly whimsical\, his paintings are laden with hidden meaning and explore themes of heroism\, Western folklore\, and the schism of instinct and control. \n  \n

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT The Leon Joyce Trio - Jazz at The Cherry
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\nJazz at The Cherry Presents The Leon Joyce Trio\nLocal veteran jazz drummer\, Leon Joyce\, will be leading the way with this exciting jazz trio.  Joining Leon will be legendary guitarist\, Bruce Forman\, and Brian Ho\, one of the hottest jazz organ players to come along in a long time. Sunday\, June 30th\, at 2:00pm. Doors open at 1:30 for wine and light fare (included in the ticket price). Tickets are available at Eventbrite.com or by calling (831) 624-7491. \nGet ready for an afternoon of exhilarating\, straight-ahead jazz at its finest! \nSponsored in part by Lorna Pierce \nAbout the Trio\nLeon Joyce\nSince relocating to Seaside from Chicago in 2011\, Leon has been a mainstay of the regional jazz scene\, largely in the Bay Area. Expect traditional and contemporary jazz stylings\, fueled by a drummer whose feeling-laden\, detailed style invokes Max Roach\, Buddy Rich or Louis Bellson\, rather than the brainiac power styles so present today.  Joyce’s musical career began in high school\, but was really shaped and nurtured when he joined the Marine Corps in 1976. He has supported artists as varied as Nancy Wilson\, Smokey Robinson\, Larry Coryell\, and Ramsey Lewis. \nBruce Forman\nBruce’s life and musical journey provide an American saga which is still in full swing. His musical accomplishments include twenty-one recordings as a leader\, countless sideman recordings\, including Ray Brown\, Bobby Hutcherson\, Roger Kellaway\, and soundtrack performances on three of Clint Eastwood’s distinguished films—most notably Academy Award-winning Million Dollar Baby. Deep immersion in American culture inspires Forman to contribute to the traditions that he draws from.  His music and life reflect every step of his journey and demonstrate the awareness of an artist who’s at the top of his form and very much at home in the jazz world. \nBrian Ho\nWhen one thinks of jazz and the Hammond Organ\, one name comes to mind – James Oscar Smith\, or simply\, Jimmy Smith.  Well\, get ready for Hammond-endorsed artist\, Brian Ho\, as he joins Leon and Bruce on our stage. Brian solos and comps with his right hand\, while his left hand and feet play organ bass in the classic stylistic tradition of the jazz organ pioneers. The San Jose Mercury News says of him:  “Brian Ho is a rising jazz star. These days\, Ho is one of the region’s most promising young jazz Hammond organists.” \n

SUMMARY:Rick Forschino Trio Plays the Music of Enrico Pieranunzi
DESCRIPTION:Two years after their sold-out performance honoring the music of Michel Petrucciani\, Rick Forschino and his trio\, featuring Bill DeLap on acoustic bass and Mike Shannon on drums\, return to present compositions by the brilliant living Italian pianist\, Enrico Pieranunzi\, on Sunday\, October 27th\, at 2:00pm. Doors open at 1:30pm for wine and light fare (included in the ticket price). Tickets are $35\, available on Eventbrite.com. \nEnrico Pieranunzi is not only an incredibly sensitive pianist with a touch akin to that of Bill Evans\, but also a particularly lyrical composer of uniquely beautiful harmonies. Rick became aware of Pieranunzi’s talented genius in 1987 with the release of “Deep Down” which featured bassist\, Marc Johnson\, and drummer\, Joey Baron. Since then\, Enrico has produced over sixty albums that include well over three hundred of his own original compositions. This concert will showcase a personal selection of these compositions\, including his famous 1978 piece\, “Nightbird\,” which gained fame in 1987 when he recorded it with Chet Baker. Baker went on to record and perform this tune multiple times throughout his career. By introducing Pieranunzi’s compositions at The Cherry\, this trio will demonstrate how he has devoted his life to establishing a body of work worthy of the collection of standards we now know and love by the famous composers of the 20th century. \nRick Forschino is a well-known jazz musician on the Monterey scene who is drawn to the more lyrical players who experiment with lush unusual harmonies. Over the many years\, Rick has played monthly with Bill DeLap at the Carmel Art Association and other venues around the Peninsula with multiple artists. They’ve developed a friendship with a shared special interest in the music of Michel Petrucciani and Enrico Pieranunzi.

SUMMARY:Salon Jane Celebrates Ten Years: Photography Reimagined
DESCRIPTION:Salon Jane is honored to present its ten-year celebration exhibit at the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts\, an important part of Carmel’s artistic history and culture\, set in a vital region of photography. The exhibit opens Friday\, November 1st\, with a reception from 5-7pm. In addition\, a walk through with the artists will be offered from 2-3pm on Saturday\, November 9th.\nThe exhibit and events are free and open to the public. \nSalon Jane is a six-member artist collective formed in Monterey\, California\, in 2014. The photographer members are Martha Casanave\, Susan Hyde Greene\, Jane Olin\, Anna Rheim\, Robin V. Robinson\, and Robin Ward. \nOver the past 10 years\, the members of Salon Jane have created an intimate bond\, facilitating a safe and inspiring environment for their artistic risk-taking and creative evolution. At their regular meetings\, they share feedback about their work through hours of in-depth discussion and hold space for art-related life challenges. \nThe Monterey Peninsula has a long tradition of straight photography set forth by Edward Weston\, Ansel Adams and others. However\, the artists of Salon Jane inhabit an island of innovation that pushes against these strict boundaries. Each member artist nods to photography but expands on it in diverse and unexpected ways. \nFrom aerial to underwater\, abstract to representational\, digital to darkroom\, wall art to books\, the work produced by these artists is wide ranging. In content and process\, each artist’s work transcends the ordinary and taps into mystery. While they have evolved beyond formal straight photography\, the members are equally concerned with artistic and photographic excellence and are grounded in historical processes. salonjane.com \nVISIT ONLINE EXHIBIT \nPictured: Salon Jane by Martha Casanave

SUMMARY:The Cherry Trio Plus One
DESCRIPTION:Join The Cherry Trio — Elizabeth Gaver (baroque violin)\, Penny Hanna (viola da gamba)\, Michael Peterson (harpsichord) and guest David Wilson (baroque violin) — to ring in the New Year with music from seventeenth century France\, Germany and England.

SUMMARY:Brush and Chisel
DESCRIPTION:Brush and Chisel\, an exhibition of painting and sculpture by Robin and Chris Sawyer\, opens Friday\, January 10th\, with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. \nThe exhibit pairs artworks from the Sawyers in unexpected ways\, sometimes crossing boundaries and exploring the two mediums through the investigations of color\, surface\, and optical perception. Robin Sawyer’s paintings\, conversely\, engage with her husband’s sculptural concerns by taking up ideas long associated with three-dimensional art\, such as balance\, composition and context. By combining elements of painting and sculpture\, these works exist beyond well-known restrictions of what art can do and upset the balance of previous ideas of what art can be. \nBrush and Chisel can be seen through February 15th during gallery hours: Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 4pm or by appointment. \nAbout the Artists: \nRobin Sawyer’s abstracted figures and landscapes seem to present themselves with an inherent mystery that begs the viewer to look further. In all her work\, she is primarily interested in gestural expressiveness and dynamic color juxtapositions. Robin’s paintings have been widely exhibited in California\, and both nationally and internationally collected. Her paintings are in the permanent collections of the Monterey Museum of Art\, the Triton Museum of Art\, various corporate collections\, and the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. Robin was juried into the Carmel Art Association in 2021. \nArtist Chris Sawyer enjoyed two successful careers in functional three-dimensional works of art—furniture design and fine home building—before devoting himself full time to sculpture as fine art. Chris began working with clay as a young boy. His high school education provided excellent background in the mechanical and industrial arts. He later took studio courses in sculpture at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. In his retirement he is now free to explore stone cutting\, woodcarving\, fabricated steel and cast bronze full time. He derives his abstract imagery from animals\, the human figure\, and geometric forms. He was juried into the Carmel Art Association in 2013.
