This new and captivating music al dialogue — between a prodigious instrumentalist at the height of his powers and a gifted songwriter and wordsmith — deftly bridges continents and traditions\, inventing new song forms.\n\nThe seeds of Our Calling we re first planted when Sissoko and Faccini met at Label Bleu in the early 2 000s. Their friendship grew as they linked and explored uncharted paths be tween Manding traditions and folksong forms. With its ten finely crafted t racks\, Our Calling is a sonic and narrative praise song for migration in all its manifestations: seeds borne by the winds\; Nightingales flying bet ween West Africa and Europe at the turn of the seasons\; humans\, across t he centuries\, and along trade routes\, sharing musical practices and rhyt hms.\n\nThe album’s originality is that it feels deeply Malian at its co re\, while also being seamlessly infused with an essence of folk songwriti ng\; the two elements blending without one ever overshadowing the other. T he duo’s ambition when they began imagining the album was clear: the mus ical language begins and ends with Manding traditions and modes. The songs had that creative brief. Their melodies\, although sung in English\, are constructed and stepped along Manding lines.\n\nThe originality of Sissoko and Faccini’s dialogue is best exemplified with the song “If Nothing is Real” — a song that succeeds in finding a home away from home\, bot h on the African and European continents. It is a testament to the Nightin gale\, or Sorofé Kono in Bambara\, the songbird that first inspired these old friends to compose music of their own calling.\n\nBallake Sissoko Web site\n\ninfo/tickets/questions:  worldclassmusic.live/contact  or  Tic keting Page\n\n \n\n.embed-container { position: relative\; padding-botto m: 56.25%\; height: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max-width: 100%\; } .embed-cont ainer iframe\, .embed-container object\, .embed-container embed { position : absolute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100%\; height: 100%\; } LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T030908Z LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/world-class-music-live-presents-b allake-sissoko-piers-faccini/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Santa Cruz Events X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.santacruzevents.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Moe’s Alley Presents: Space Heater DTSTART:20260912T030000Z DTEND:20260912T050000Z DTSTAMP:20260815T030908Z UID:moes-alley:c349d2623f2b1d8aeaf7758d@santa-cruz-events.local CATEGORIES:dance DESCRIPTION:Moe's Alley presents an epic dance party with Space Heater!

A creation of perfect balance. As time passed\, evil spread ove r the land like a plague\, slowly consuming everything in its path. In the final moments before light was lost to the shadow for all time\, a weapon of infinite power was created\, the Magic Sword. Thus\, restoring balance to the universe. The genesis of things are often small. As the single see d grows to a mighty oak\, so too did the path of the Keeper begin as a sin gle choice in an age long past. Once a humble king\, he was manipulated in to unleashing the Dark One. All of reality was torn asunder as the Lord of Shadow was released from their ancient prison\, having been bound by the power of the the Magic Sword. From that day forth\, the King was cursed to be the eternal Keeper of this powerful key. He has been compelled for mil lennia to find the Chosen One who will unleash the true power of the weapo n and won't rest until the grand design is complete with the Darkness boun d once again. The Keeper of the Magic Sword searches endlessly for the Cho sen One. This prophesied being contains the ability to wield the power of the Magic Sword and seal the prison that holds Dark One for all eternity. Until the chosen one is revealed\, search continues in this realm and many others throughout all of time and space. In what form will the Magic Swor d manifest? Who is the Chosen One? Answers will reveal themselves as the n eed arises. A tale of high adventure as old as time itself. SKYLIMIT Haili ng from Boise\, Idaho\, Skylimit is an Indie and Alt-Pop project by Stephe n Balcos\, founded in 2013. Blending bright synths\, uplifting production\ , and heartfelt melodies\, Skylimit produces songs that feel like late-nig ht drives\, small-town summers\, and moments suspended in time. He recentl y released his debut album “Maryland”\, an album based in a fictional town that features songs about locations and memories with a fun\, high en ergy\, and almost nostalgic tone.

In addition to being a b andleader and solo performer\, Pizzarelli has been a special guest on reco rdings for major pop names such as Natalie Cole\, Kristin Chenoweth\, Tom Wopat\, Rickie Lee Jones\, and Dave Van Ronk\, as well as leading jazz art ists such as Rosemary Clooney\, Ruby Braff\, Johnny Frigo\, Buddy DeFranco \, Harry Allen\, and\, of course\, his father Bucky Pizzarelli.\n\nFor Piz zarelli\, Tony Bennett was more than simply an influence.

The c harming artwork that graces the cover of Pizzarelli’s heartfelt new trib ute album\, Dear Mr. Bennett\, was rendered during an engagement at Feinst ein’s nightclub at New York’s Loews Regency hotel. Dear Mr. Bennett\, released in March 2026\, is on the one hand a loving farewell to a profoun dly influential musician who meant so much to so many. At the same time\, it’s a spirited celebration\, arriving just in time for Bennett’s land mark August 3rd centennial. A five-song EP will follow on August 7th to co incide with the occasion.

I’d get up and go outside\, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I’d had three months ago\, and suddenly a so ng I’d been working on would make sense. That’s how the whole album ca me to be.” The follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Wide Awake \, If I Were a Butterfly finds Baxter co-producing alongside Tim O’Sullivan (Grace Potter\, The Head and the Heart) and Kai Welch (Molly Tuttle\, Sie rra Hull)\, slowly piecing together the album’s patchwork of lush psyche delia and Beatlesesque pop. In addition to working at Thunder Sound (the K entucky studio he called home for months on end)\, Baxter recorded in Cali fornia\, Texas\, Tennessee\, and Washington\, enlisting a remarkable lineu p of musicians: Shakey Graves\, Lennon Stella\, several members of Cage th e Elephant\, Zac Cockrell of Alabama Shakes\, Morning Teleportation’s Tr avis Goodwin\, and legendary Motown drummer Miss Bobbye Hall\, among many others. In an especially meaningful turn\, two of the album’s tracks fea ture the elegant pedal steel work of his father\, Bucky Baxter (a musician who performed with Bob Dylan and who passed away in May 2020). Thanks to the extraordinary care and ingenuity behind its creation\, If I Were a But terfly arrives as a work of rarefied magic\, capable of stirring up immens e feeling while leaving the listener happily wonderstruck.

After debuting in March 2019\, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the local music scene and was dubbed “the hardest working band in town” by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brookl yn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pandemic. Now\ , a core value of the band is to play for as many audiences as possible to increase the visibility of female musicians. \n\nThe band has developed a signature style that sits right at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy. Their sound is deeply inspired by\, and pays homage to\, th e New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat\, multifacet ed energy of their New York home into each performance. In November 2023\, the band released their first full-length album titled Black & Gold\, whi ch is an ode to the Brass Queen’s incredible early fanbase who supported the band from the virtual performances and socially-distanced street corn ers during the COVID-19 pandemic\, to the crowded clubs and packed venues of today.

Shoveling their own path\, Diggin Dirt has seen sustained growth ove r the past few years\, with multiple national tours and festival stops at Jam Cruise\, High Sierra\, Hulaween\, Same Same but Different\, Live Oak\, Cascade Equinox\, Joshua Tree Music Festival and many more. Per a 2024 Ja m Cruise writer\, “This was the soul music I grew up with in the ‘60s and ‘70s\, but I confess I wasn’t expecting [Diggin Dirt] to be throwi ng it down this hard. This group is impossibly tight\, and Zach Alder migh t be the best soul shouter I’ve ever heard\, and I’ve heard a few.” Their infectious sound is fueled by blazing horns\, searing guitars and a relentlessly driving rhythm section\, and tying it all together is the ban d’s frontman who launches the ensemble into rarefied air with his pipes\ , charisma and natural-born soul. With flashes of James Brown or Sly and t he Family Stone\, Otis Redding or Tower of Power\, the band’s sound is b oth familiar and yet refreshingly original\, layering psychedelic rock\, M otown soul\, afrobeat and even reggae atop a thick foundation of late-60s inspired funk.

Shoveling their own path\, Diggin Dirt has seen sustained growth over the past few years\, with multiple national tours and festival stops at Jam Cruise\, High Sierra\, Hulaween\, Same Sa me but Different\, Live Oak\, Cascade Equinox\, Joshua Tree Music Festival and many more. Per a 2024 Jam Cruise writer\, “This was the soul music I grew up with in the ‘60s and ‘70s\, but I confess I wasn’t expecti ng [Diggin Dirt] to be throwing it down this hard. This group is impossibl y tight\, and Zach Alder might be the best soul shouter I’ve ever heard\ , and I’ve heard a few.” Their infectious sound is fueled by blazing h orns\, searing guitars and a relentlessly driving rhythm section\, and tyi ng it all together is the band’s frontman who launches the ensemble into rarefied air with his pipes\, charisma and natural-born soul. With flashe s of James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone\, Otis Redding or Tower of Po wer\, the band’s sound is both familiar and yet refreshingly original\, layering psychedelic rock\, Motown soul\, afrobeat and even reggae atop a thick foundation of late-60s inspired funk.

Connecting residents directly with local farms\, the Felton Market is an essential part of the regional food system as well as a resource for nutritious organic foods and basic agricultural education.

His 2019 releas e Mask of the Muse features Flocks’ rendition of “Ebb Tide” which ha s been streamed more than twenty million times and went viral on TikTok.\n \nGrowing up in the Santa Cruz mountains\, Flocks witnessed lunar grandeur over the churning Pacific surf and filtered through redwood canopies. Fol lowing the advice of his elders\, he spent over a decade living in New Yor k City\, learning from the masters and leading his own bands at the 55 Bar and Cornelia Street Cafe. Flocks is now grounded in Los Angeles where he balances performing with a full schedule teaching at Glendale Community Co llege\, Harvard-Westlake\, and the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts.\n\nAt its foundation\, his latest album Moonshades is a trio explora tion\, acutely aware of the history of saxophone triumvirates led by Flock s’ heroes Sonny Rollins\, Joe Henderson\, and Joshua Redman\, but concer ned with an entirely different avenue\, thanks to bandmates Garret Lang an d Jay Bellerose.

Enjoy industry panels\, filmmaker m ixers\, live music\, culinary events\, beer and cider tastings\, mixology demonstrations\, beachside s’mores\, parties\, and gatherings in some of Santa Cruz’s most memorable locations.\n\nWhether you are a lifelong fi lm lover\, a filmmaker searching for inspiration\, a student exploring the industry\, or simply someone who enjoys discovering something new\, Santa Cruz Film Festival offers a place to connect\, celebrate\, learn\, laugh\ , and be surprised.\n\nCome for the films. Stay for the stories\, the food \, the people\, the parties\, and the wonderfully cinematic energy of Sant a Cruz.\n\nThis October\, don’t just watch the festival. Be part of it.
