LOIS DELOATCH & FRIENDS PRESENT - ROOTS: JAZZ/BLUES/SPIRITUALS

Lois Deloatch premieres her new recording, Roots:  Jazz/Blues/Spirituals, August 15^th at POLYRHYTHMS Third Sunday Jazz Workshop & Matinee Series in the Redstone Room, at the RME on the corner of 2^nd & Main, Davenport, IA.  The Third Sunday Jazz Event begins with a Workshop at 3 pm, followed by a matinee concert from 6 – 8 pm.

For nearly two decades, vocalist and songwriter Deloatch has been immersed in music, headlining concerts, conducting music education workshops, lectures, and emceeing events.  Noted for her rich contralto voice and expansive repertoire, Deloatch’s performances highlight and integrate spirituals, jazz, and blues as well as original and standard compositions.  Hymn to Freedom: Homage to Oscar Peterson, her fourth recording as leader, was released in limited edition in 2008 and garnered international accolades including selection as one of the Top 10 CDs of 2008 by JazzTimes Magazine’s music critic Owen Cordle. 

The August 15 concert will feature guitarist Scott Sawyer, Deloatch’s longtime music accompanist and co-producer of the new recording.  Bassist Ron Wilson and percussionist Manuel Lopez, III will join Deloatch and Sawyer for the concert.  “Roots:  Jazz/Blues/Spirituals” includes a thoughtful and eclectic mix of compositions including Wade in the Water, Steal Away, and Good Morning Heartache as well as three of Deloatch’s original compositions.

“As jazz vocalist, with a sultry voice and presentation in the tradition of Sarah Vaughn, and as a lyricist, Lois Deloatch gives testament to the well known but not always observed fact that knowing the meaning of lyrics is essential to any meaningful interpretation of a song whether one is a singer or instrumentalist.  Nevertheless, only some voices are blessed with that jazz sound, feeling, and intuition, and Lois is surely one of them.”  Bob Gish, Jazz Improv Magazine.

A longtime resident of Durham, Deloatch hails from Margarettsville (Northampton County), N.C. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from Duke University where she also serves as associate director of corporate and foundation relations.  Her academic pursuits have included research on jazz legends Mary Lou Williams and Thelonious Monk, and her documentary project, “Sam Reed and The Trumpet of Conscience” is a permanent part of Duke University Library’s John Hope Franklin Collection.  Among her volunteer activities, Lois and her husband, Ed Gomes, host “Sunday Evening Classics,” a weekly radio program on WNCU 90.7 FM.   She is the recipient of an Emerging Artist Award from the Durham Arts Council and the 2009 Lamplighter Award for community service from 103.9 The Light.  More information is at www.loisdeloatch.com.  To schedule performances or interviews, please email Kevin Dawson at loisdeloatchmusic@gmail.com.

Polyrhythms Third Sunday Jazz Matinee & Workshop Series at the RME’s Redstone Room is scheduled for the third Sunday, August 15^th, and features an all-ages workshop at 3 pm, followed by the matinee performance from 6-8 pm.   Admission to the workshop session is Free for Kids, $5 for adults.  General admission for the 6 - 8 pm concert is $10 or $15 for reserved seating.  For ticket information, call Polyrhythms: 309 373-0790.  For more information, visit our website: www.polyrhythms.org. 

Doors open at 5:30 pm.  Come early and experience the magic that is jazz performed live.  And remember you can bring the food you ordered downstairs at the Woodfire Grill to eat while you listen and drink in the hottest jazz in the Quad Cities.  Enjoy a set or stay for the whole show. 

Polyrhythms Third Sunday Jazz Series is made possible with major support of the Riverboat Development Authority, the Scott County Regional Authority, and the RME as well as the support of Linqui Systems, AT&T, the Doris & Victor Day Foundation, West Music, Davenport Clarion Hotel, KALA, IL Senator Mike Jacobs, Peeples Heating & Air Conditioning, Greatest Grains and DJ Mixxin Mel.
