"Rest In P: All-Star Salute/Funkraiser for Garry ‘Starchild’ Shider" - 10 July New Jersey / 11 July NYC

The Black Rock Coalition and Sweet Relief
in association with SoulPatrol.com present:

"Rest In P: All-Star Salute/Funkraiser for Garry ‘Starchild’ Shider"


GARRY MARSHALL SHIDER
(1953-2010)
THE FUNK WILL GO ON!!!

Saturday, July 10 @ Multi Media Arts Center (MMAC), Bloomfield, NJ;
Sunday, July 11 @ B.B. King’s Blues Bar & Grill, New York, NY
Confirmed artists: Living Colour, Bernie Worrell, Miss Lady Kier, The BRC Orchestra and special surprise guests

NEW YORK – Garry Marshall Shider, iconic diaper-clad singer and guitarist and right-hand to George Clinton in the Parliament/Funkadelic menagerie, died on June 16, 2010 from complications stemming from an ongoing battle with lung and brain cancer.

Barbara Thomas, administrator of the Garry Shider Medical Fund, issued the following statement:

Dear family, friends and fans,

It is with a broken heart to say that on Wednesday, June 16, 2010, that we lost one of the greatest vocalist, guitarist, music arranger and showman of our time-Garry "Star Child" Shider.

Over the past four months, Garry fought each day against one of the deadliest diseases, so that he could do what he loved, which was to return to the stage. Which he did. For those who know Garry, you know that his determination was fierce and that he was not going to give up on life.

Over the past forty years, Garry put his stamp and signature of everything that he did musically. HIs talent was and always will be unmatched.

I, along with my fundraising partner, Pete Shipman, Jr. and the Shider family would personally like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who so generously made a donation to the Garry Shider Medical Fund. You all reached out unselfishly in Garry's time of need. We cannot thank you enough. Also, we want to personally thank Rob Max and the Sweet Relief Musican's Fund, for assisting us with our fundraising administration, and Aaron and Muruga Bookvich and Darrell McNeil and the Black Rock Coalition family for stepping up immediately to assist Pete and I with our fundraising efforts by organizing benefit concerts which are upcoming. We must also thank all of the artists who truly wanted to help Garry by immediately signing on to perform at the benefit concerts.

We hope that everyone throughout the world will continue to support musicians that are in need. Remember, no person should be denied healthcare. We urge you all to continue to keep healthcare and health insurance for all, on the minds of those who will listen. Garry would want it that way.

Thank you Garry for the musical joy that you gave us. Goodbye to our Star Child.

Barbara Thomas and Pete Shipman, Jr.
Fundraising Team for the Garry Shider Medical Fund

Fundraisers organized by the Black Rock Coalition (BRC), Sweet Relief and Soul-Patrol.com ahead of Garry’s transition, will move forward as planned at Multimedia Arts Center in Bloomfield, NJ on Saturday, July 10 and at B.B. King’s in New York on Sunday, July 11. “The family was always candid about this being a possibility,” said Darrell M. McNeill, director of operations for the BRC. “We prayed for the best but were prepared for the worst. Now we need to tend to Garry’s legacy—the funk must go on. We’re celebrating the music he created and will keep him alive through the music.”

Shider had been in an extremely dire state of affairs, fighting cancer, touring whenever he could. Like so many performers of Shider’s renown, he didn’t have health insurance. The Black Rock Coalition and Sweet Relief are working in partnership to raise funds and administer to the costs of Garry’s care and funeral arrangements.

“Garry’s unfortunate departure won’t lessen the financial burden on his family,” McNeill added. “Whatever money we raise will ensure they won’t have to deal with any outside problems. It will be difficult enough adjusting to his absence.”

Confirmed performers include Living Colour, Bernie Worrell (SociaLybrium; ex-P-Funk, ex-Talking Heads), Miss Lady Kier (ex-Deee-Lite), Melvin Gibbs (SociaLybrium, Harriet Tubman, ex-Rollins Band) and Ronny Drayton. FUNK-KIN, a New Jersey based band comprised of Shider’s brothers and cousins, will open at MMAC show only. Recently added to the bill were P-Funk guitarist Dwayne “Blackbyrd” McKnight for both shows and Jerome “Bigfoot” Brailey for the B.B. King’s show only. On both nights, there will be an all-star P-Funk jam, powered by the Black Rock Coalition Orchestra. Other special guests will be named in later press updates.

The benefit details are:

Sunday, July 11 @ B.B. King’s Blues Bar & Grill, 237 West 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10036-7297, (212) 997-4144, www.bbkingblues.com, 6PM doors, 7PM show, $25 advance/$30 door.

The BRC and Sweet Relief are also asking for donations through Garry Shider’s Relief Fund website for those who cannot attend: www.garryshidermedicalfund.com. All proceeds go to the administering of Shider’s medical care and financial expenses during treatment.

For more information, go to www.facebook.com/blackrockcoalition, www.sweetrelief.org and www.soul-patrol.com.

“Reorientation Suite” by Neel Murgai Ensemble at Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, April 24

Brooklyn Conservatory of Music proudly presents

Neel Murgai Ensemble

Performing the World Premier of “Reorientation Suite”

Saturday, April 24, 2010, 8pm

“...artfully composed……gorgeous” – Huffington post


Who: NEEL MURGAI ENSEMBLE feat: Neel Murgai (sitar) Mat Maneri (viola), Sameer Gupta (tabla), Greg Heffernan (cello)
When: Saturday, April 24, 2010, at 8PM
Where: Brooklyn Conservatory Concert Hall, 58 7th avenue, Brooklyn

(Q/B train to 7th Ave, 2/3 train to Grand Army Plaza)
Cost: $10, tickets to be sold at the door, no advance purchase


Brooklyn Conservatory of Music’s Jazz is thrilled to present the highly acclaimed Neel Murgai Ensemble, April 24 at 8pm. Called “artfully composed…gorgeous” by the Huffington Post, NME will bring an intriguing blend of instrumentation that will redefine North Indian classical music.

On the heels of a self titled debut release from Innova Records, the Neel Murgai Ensemble brings their unique sound to the Brooklyn-Queens Conservatory of Music for the world premier of “Reorientation Suite”. This new body of work has been commissioned by the American Composer’s Forum and reflects a new focus to sitarist/composer Neel Murgai’s music. The all star lineup and instrumentation remains the same, with Neel on sitar, Mat Maneri on viola, Sameer Gupta (Marc Kerry’s Focus Trio) on tabla and Greg Heffernan (Paradox Trio) on cello.

Inspired by issues of orientalism and exoticism that pervade the reception of Neel’s work, “Reorientation Suite” deconstructs ‘world’ and ‘ethnic’ music, while hoping to reorient performer and listener alike to a new understanding. This suite of new music draws from raga, minimalism, jazz and experimental music, but is brought to life by the dynamic cross-cultural improvisation that is the ensemble’s signature sound. An experienced composer and performer, Neel has played in venues ranging from the Kennedy center to Late Night with David Letterman. He has worked with Bill T. Jones, Wyclef Jean, Cyndi Lauper, Samir Chatterjee, Tobias Gebb, Loren Conners and Louis Belogenis amongst many others, and has composed music for the feature films, “The Yes Men Fix the World” and “A Decent Arrangement”.

Underwritten by the American Composer’s Forum with funds provided by the Jerome Foundation.

JASON KAO HWANG/ SPONTANEOUS RIVER with PATRICIA NICHOLSON AND DANCERS
Spontaneous River is an orchestra of over 35 string improvisers. It is only in recent years that so many string players have engaged in the art of improvisational music. Spontaneous River is an ensemble and a community that represents this emerging movement. The power of Spontaneous River is drawn from both the sonic unity of strings and the undeniable individualism of each musician’s “voice.” Mr. Hwang’s compositions are often spontaneous architectures consisting of notated passages and guided improvisations, to express stories abundant with flora, fauna and dreams of the human spirit. Spontaneous River will make a studio recording the following day.

Patricia Nicholson and Dancers hear music as dance and feel dance as music. Their motions of rhythm, melody and texture create contemporary rituals from timeless sources.

Dancers: Patricia Nicholson, Ruomi, Jason Jordan, Mia Kang
Violin : Trina Basu, Sarah Bernstein, Charles Burnham, Julianne Carney, Fung Chern Hwei, Mark Chung, Rosi Hertlein, Jason Kao Hwang, David Soldier, Curtis Stewart, Midori Yamamoto, Helen Yee
