SUMMARY:Sam Wilson & Roddy Ellias
DESCRIPTION:Sam Wilson is a guitarist-composer whose practice focuses on creating instrumental music for improvisers. Her current artistic muse is wild spaces and site-specific responses\, evident by her latest release Wintertides (April 2024)\, featuring drummer Jen Yakamovich and bassist Geordie Hart. Written in the winter of 2022 on both the east (Scotsburn\, NS) and west Coast (at Lena Residency\, Galiano Island BC); it’s inspired by contrasting landscapes and the collaboration of bi-coastal communities. Her albums Into a Heart Pt. II and New Doors(Jackson/Wilson Duo) won Music Nova Scotia’s “Jazz Recording of the Year” in 2022 and 2023\, respectively. All of her releases have been nominated for the East Coast Music Awards. In 2021 Sam won the Paul Cram Creation award and composed her first piece for orchestra\, ‘Recover-we’\, which was performed by Symphony Nova Scotia at the 2023 Open Waters Festival. \nSam was raised in Ontario but has made Nova Scotia her home for more than a decade; she currently resides in Halifax. She performs regularly with her collaborator Andrew Jackson in their duo project (Jackson\Wilson Duo)\, as well with her trio that features a rotation of musicians including Caito Macdonald\, Kyle Tully\, Gabriella Ciurcovich\, Jen Yakamovich and Geordie Hart. She has worked with Phillip Greenlief (Elephant Heart)\, Andrew Mackelvie\, Ellen Gibling\, Matt Gallant (Borrowers)\, Nicholas D’amato\, Nicola Miller\, Music Declares Emergency\, Votive Dance\, Upstream Music Association\, among others and supported artists such as Laura Roy and Kaia Kater. She is an alumni of St.FX University and the Creative Music Workshop. \n\nReviewers have described Roddy Ellias as “genius (Bud Freeman)\, “positively brilliant” (Bill McBirnie) and “exquisite …the kind of subtlety you don’t often hear…anywhere.”(Mark Miller).[1] He has performed with Lee Konitz\, Kenny Wheeler\, Tom Harrel\, Dr. Lonnie Smith\, Nat Adderley\, Slide Hampton\, Cleo Laine\, Pepper Adams\, Lew Tabakin\, Michel Donato\, Mel Tormé\, Bud Freeman\, PJ Perry\, Rob McConnell\, the Montreal Symphony\, the National Arts Centre Orchestra\, and Michel Legrand. As an improviser\, “Canadian guitarist and writer Matthew Warnock describes him this way: “as close to being a Zen master on the guitar as he can be.”[2] \nThe Ottawa Citizen reviewed a “concert by pianist Marc Copland\, guitarist Roddy Ellias and bassist Adrian Vedady”\, calling it “deeply lyrical and personal original music.” \n“Ellias has had two concert series at Paradiso with local and imported musicians including an organ quartet with Kirk MacDonald\, a Fourth Stage showcase of his own jazz compositions\, an Ottawa Jazz Festival concert with Jeri Brown\, several festival workshop and Composers’ Collective concerts\, as well as appearances with John Geggie\, Anna Williams\, Tena Palmer\, Garry Elliott\, Petr Cancura\, and many others. And his classical compositions were featured at this year’s Music and Beyond festival.”[3]
