Jazz in the Forest: JP Thoma & the Jazztones
Saturday, June 17, 2023, at 5:30pm
Come join us on June 17 at 5:30 pm. at the Volcano Art Center Niaulani Campus for a great evening of musical enjoyment. Featuring the music of jazz trumpet virtuoso Miles Davis. His last 30 years were some of his most creative and productive in a long life, and encompassed experiences with many jazz greats, including Charlie Parker, Gil Evans,John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Wayne Shorter. His musical innovations have been felt throughout the jazz world.
The introductory fanfare by Joaquin Rodrigo – “Concerto de Aranjuez” – from the1959 album Skecthes of Spain, is played here by Parker Smith on trumpet & Jean Pierre Thoma on flute with percussion accompaniment by Owen Matsui, pianist Asha Azama and bassist Ken Vincent, bringing us into the classical flavor of Spain, and leads to the interpretation of some of the best compositions in the Davis repertoire. The vocal interpretation of “Summertime” from the opera “Porgy and Bess” by Parker Smith reminds us that not only is this summer, but that the impact of the Miles Davis repertoire covered everything from small combo recordings to full orchestral productions.
The 2nd half of the program moves forward in time to a selection of perhaps less well-known Davis additions to the jazz realm. “Seven Steps to Heaven” is the album which really stepped out for Miles into new rhythmic directions and was followed by explorations which led the way for many other jazz groups – “Tutu” is full of surprises, and Miles’ reworking of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time is aimed at the dancing crowd.

Experimental Catalyst Abstract Watercolors
Join Big Island artist, Patti Pease Johnson for the Experimental Watercolors workshop on Saturday, June 24, from 9am – 12:30pm at Volcano Art Center. Cost for the workshop is $75 and $70 for VAC Members plus a $15 supply fee. Beginner and intermediate artists are welcome.
Imagine glass being shattered. The random shapes and patterns are totally unpredictable. Now take these haphazard glass pieces and marry them with watercolors; then add your own playful attitude. This is Experimental Watercolors! Like music on paper, colors flow in delicate waves.
Each student will create three to five separate 8×8 inch watercolor paintings on cold press watercolor paper using pre-broken glass as a catalyst to spark creativity. Students will also be taught theories of good composition, along with color theory and color wheel use. Abstract qualities are the focus in this workshop using three – four paints right out of the tube with the glass. After the first drying and glass removal, each piece is brought to further expressiveness by using detailed watercolor techniques of washes, spatters, lifting, value gradations, dry brush and more.
When asked to describe the experience Patti explained, “You can’t help but wonder what is going to happen after your first piece of glass is put on watercolor paper. In painting, the more chances you take, the more you will stretch the limits of your understanding, and in turn the more you will grow as an artist.”
Patti Pease Johnson’s artwork can be found at galleries and shops across the State and in collections around the world.

Movie Night: Pather Panchali (1955), November 3rd, 6pm
With the release in 1955 of Satyajit Ray’s debut, Pather Panchali, an eloquent and important new cinematic voice made itself heard all over the world. A depiction of rural Bengali life in a style inspired by Italian neorealism, this naturalistic but poetic evocation of a number of years in the life of a family introduces us to both little Apu and, just as essentially, the women who will help shape him: his independent older sister, Durga; his harried mother, Sarbajaya, who, with her husband away, must hold the family together; and his kindly and mischievous elderly “auntie,” Indir, vivid, multifaceted characters all. With resplendent photography informed by its young protagonist’s perpetual sense of discovery, Pather Panchali, which won an award for Best Human Document at Cannes, is an immersive cinematic experience and a film of elemental power.
