SUMMARY:Sumi Tonooka Trio
DESCRIPTION:[art-event id=”15880″] \nPNC Arts Alive presents Jazz Cultural Voices.  The PNC Arts Alive initiative has demonstrated a belief in the Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts and a commitment to providing us with the funding that makes this event possible. \nSumi Tonooka (pronounced To-NO-ka) is the first artist to be presented in the Jazz Cultural Voices lineup.   She has been called a “fierce and fascinating composer and pianist” (Jazz Times)\, “provocative and compelling” (New York Times)\, and “continually inventive\, original\, surprising\, and a total delight\,” (Cuadranos de Jazz\, Madrid). \nDuring a career spanning more than 30 years that has taken her from bases in Philadelphia & Boston\, to New York & Seattle\, Tonooka has been developing a body of work that surprises and delights audiences – quietly piling up accolades from jazz writers and fellow musicians. \nHer recent activity as a composer includes receiving the Music Alive: New Partnerships\nresidency with The South Dakota Symphony Orchestra through New Music USA to take place in November 2015. The residency will culminate with a premier of her symphonic work Full Circle and a new work for woodwind quintet.\nTonooka is also a recent recipient of the 2105 Artist Trust award and received the Carl & Jini Dellaccio GAP title to compose a new jazz chamber work Driftwood.\nIn addition to her symphonic and chamber works\, jazz recordings and performances\, Tonooka has composed over a dozen film scores\, including the Academy Award-nominated Family Gathering by Lise Yasui and Daring To Resist by Martha Lubell\, aired on PBS. She is also featured in A Note of Hope\, released in 2011\, a full-length documentary from Citygate Films on the youngest victiims of HIV/AIDS in Africa. She toured West Africa as part of a sextet featuring her musical compadre of two decades\, jazz violinist John Blake\, Jr. Their recorded output includes A New Beginning: Live at The Village Gate\, Kindred Spirits (as a duo)\, and the Traveler featuring Boris Koslov on bass and Johnathan Blake on drums. As a member of the Rufus Reid Quintent\, Tonooka appears on the CD and DVD The Rufus Reid Quintent: Live at the Kennedy Center (Motema). The group appeared at Dizzy’s Club Cocoa Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York in 2007 for the release performance.\nTonooka’s career has been chronicled on several highly regarded jazz books\, including Living the Jazz Life by Royal Stokes\, ln The Moment by Francis Davis\, and Madame Jazz by Leslie Gourse (all on Oxford University Press). As a professional response to an inherent void within the music industry\, Tonooka\, along with alto saxophonist Chris Burnett and tenor saxophonist Erica Lindsay\, co-founded the Artists Recording Collective (ARC)\, an internationally recognized brand and professional recording label. She now divides her time between her responsibilities as the Chief\, Public Relations Officer for ARC\, composing and performing for an increasingly widespread audience of jazz aficionados. In his liner notes to pianist\, composer and educator Sumi Tonooka’s fifth CD\, Long Ago Today\, journalist Russ Musto restated his praise from thirty years ago:”…it has been a pleasure to hear her blossom into one of the most talented musicians of her generation.”
