WELCOME TO THE CENTER! Thanks for joining us as we head into the home stretch of our 2023-2024 Center Presents Season, presented in partnership with Allied Solutions.

Our spring schedule includes performances by acclaimed classical violinist Ray Chen; European vocal ensemble Gregorian on their Pure Chants tour; the Atlanta-based Fleetwood Mac tribute Rumours; the return of humorist David Sedaris; and Michael Feinstein in a tribute to the late Tony Bennett.

Also on the calendar is the Center’s first visit from Grammy-nominated drummer Sammy Miller and his boisterous New York City jazz combo, The Congregation, who will play a free matinee for local students as well as an evening show at the Palladium on April 19. Miller shares the group’s guiding principles in our cover story on Page 6.

This spring, visitors to the Center should note that the Palladium’s east entrance is closed temporarily, as local government contractors continue upgrades along the Monon Greenway. Street-level entry and elevator access are available at the West Lobby entrance off 3rd Avenue SW. Looking ahead, the lineup of national and international artists booked for the 2024-2025 Center Presents Season will be announced publicly on May 21, after a sneak preview event for our donors and subscribers the previous evening.

Expect an initial total around 50 events featuring the best in pop, rock, classical, jazz, country, comedy and other genres.

As always, we offer our deepest thanks to the volunteers, donors and community partners who make our work possible, and to patrons like you who make it all worthwhile.

Joyful Jazz

Sammy Miller and The Congregation bring classic sound to new audiences

BY SCOTT HALL

Sammy Miller is a Grammy-nominated jazz drummer. He studied at

Juilliard. He’s played the New York clubs where the “serious” players do battle with little regard for the listeners. But the academic, intellectual, esoteric side of jazz is not his scene.

Though it’s hard to sum up a musical act in words, it helps if they have a mission statement, and this one does: Sammy Miller and The Congregation are on a mission to put the generosity back into jazz and bring art back to the people. Indeed, their latest album is a two-volume live set titled Joyful Jazz at Lincoln Center.

“I always see (jazz) as a playful and inviting form,” Miller says. “I want to be a gateway drug for people to this music.”

You’ll find that gateway at the Center for the Performing Arts on April 19, when Miller brings his combo to the Palladium to play a free morning matinee for local students and an 8 p.m. evening show for everyone else.

Though his father and grandfather were born in Indianapolis, Miller grew up in Southern California, one of five children playing in a pop-rock family band that gigged around the area.

It doesn't have to be funny, but it has to be authentic. It often ends up being funny, too.

– Sammy Miller “That's what we did every day after school instead of sports,” he says.

“We'd get together in our living room and play.”

His life took a turn at a young age when an older brother started bringing home records by the legends of bebop and post-bop jazz: Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Kenny Garrett, and so on. Miller “totally got hooked” and began visiting the local library to check out CDs in bulk.

“I didn't understand what was going on at all – I loved how it made me feel,” he says. “I just got every CD I could get, and I was like, ‘I'm gonna figure this out.’”

SAMMY MILLER AND THE CONGREGATION FRIDAY, APRIL 19, AT 8PM THE PALLADIUM

Halfway through high school, he transferred to the L.A. County High School for the Arts, where he reveled in being around other students who also were “jazzed about jazz.” After graduating, he enrolled at the New School in New York and later moved on to Juilliard.

As he built a professional career, Miller developed his own concept of what a band should be. The Congregation’s music is heavily influenced

by Dixieland-style group improvisation, as well as the New Orleans tradition of letting the good times roll and making people dance. They take inspiration from early jazz figures like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Jimmie Lunceford and Roy Eldredge, who incorporated humor into their music and theatrics into their stage shows. Miller has studied their live recordings and film clips.

“The music was just one part of it,” he says. “It was an experience, and it was powerful, and it was joyful and irreverent at times.”

Improvisation can extend well beyond the notes the musicians play, Miller argues. The same spontaneity can be applied to stage banter and other aspects of performance. The Congregation tries to mix it up every night.

9

“It's the same structure as a jazz song, where we have a theme and then there's variation,” he says. “I think the same thing should be true in between the songs. I'm going to talk about whatever's going on in my life, and then there's room for improvisation. The audience is a participant. It doesn't have to be funny, but it has to be authentic. It often ends up being funny, too.”

Another key aspect of the group’s mission is educating younger generations about the joys of jazz, through special performances like the local matinee and by other means. As the pandemic was shutting down the touring music business, Miller launched Playbook, an online platform that supplements the work of music teachers and band directors with instrument-specific instructional videos by a roster of professional musicians.

“As students are learning songs, each instrumentalist has a mentor who helps them understand how to approach that specific piece,” Miller says.

“I was just interested in giving teachers the tools to teach music so their students play after they graduate high school, giving people the skills to be lifelong musicians.”

As with his band’s performances, the aim of Playbook is to emphasize the wonder and the pleasure of learning, playing and listening to jazz. If kids hear it, they get it, Miller says.

“You can't just say, ‘It's America's art form’ – you have to show them why they should care about it,” he says. “So I'm trying to show them, so that they can pay it forward and share the joy and comfort it brought me as a child. It's powerful, powerful, soul healing.”

JAZZTALK: A CONVERSATION WITH SAMMY MILLER

Monday, March 25 at 7pm | Online

Join us online March 25 for an engaging live conversation with Sammy Miller, who is bringing his NYC-based band The Congregation to the Palladium on April 19 for a Student Matinee and an all-ages evening performance in the Drewry Simmons Vornehm Jazz Series.

CHILD & ADULT MUSIC CLASS: ALL AROUND THE GARDEN

April 12-May 24 | The Palladium

Mice scamper, bunnies bounce, bees buzz, and flowers dance beneath rainbows as birds fly through the treetops looking for the perfect place to nest. You and your child will have a magical, musical spring in this interactive caregiver/child music class with singer/guitarist “Ms. Michelle” Marti, who will bring plenty of instruments and toys to support her age-appropriate curriculum.

Designed for children ages 18 months - 5 years, Child & Adult sessions encourage young children to become engaged in the arts. Child & Adult Music Class is presented in partnership with Westfield Veterinary Care.

WORLD VOICE DAY

Tuesday, April 16 at 6:30pm | The Palladium Grab your sheet music, family and friends and come sing onstage during the Center's annual World Voice Day celebration, as we transform the Palladium into a cabaret for one special evening. Singers of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to join our piano accompanist and MC for an open-mic night that is informal, free and open to the public. The performers and audience will sit nightclub-style at tables on the stage, with a cash bar for anyone who needs a little liquid encouragement.
