SUMMARY:Waterloo Makes Music: Shirley Cook with Ava Preston Trio
DESCRIPTION:Waterloo Makes Music (WMM) is a free concert series\, programmed by Cleveland Rocks: Past\, Present\, Future\, as a gift to all the music lovers in the community\, and a celebration of Cleveland’s amazing musical legacy. Held in the Waterloo Arts & Entertainment District\, the Tower series features local Waterloo area bands/musicians.\n\nFriday\, May 6\, 2022\n7pm at the Beachland Ballroom\nFree Show\n\n\nShirley Cook:\nShirley Cook is a sultry\, smoky\, and internationally acclaimed jazz singer from Cleveland\, Ohio. Ms. Cook has been bringing her improvisational jazz vocals to the Cleveland music scene for over 36 years. She’s been noted by the Plain Dealer as having a “deep alto voice reminiscent of the late Carmen McRae.” Also\, by the Call & Post for being a “dynamic jazz vocalist who has her own style with ballads and tempos.” Ms. Cook’s captivating and highly interactive performances have a way of making you feel like she’s singing to you and only you. Through her music\, Ms. Cook shares her personal experiences in hopes people will be able to connect and see themselves within her music.\nOver the course of her career\, Ms. Cook has derived numerous aspects of her style from her early roots in the gospel church. Born in Stotesbury\, West Virginia\, Ms. Cook moved to Cleveland at the age of two. At the age of eleven\, she began singing in a gospel music group alongside some of her aunts. They performed for numerous church and social functions throughout the city. Throughout her early life\, Ms. Cook continued to sing with her aunts and through the help of a friend\, was introduced to the inspirational music of the late Billie Holiday\, Etta James\, Abbey Lincoln\, and many more.\nAlong with her work on the stage\, Ms. Cook has devoted many years of her life to the care and nurturance of the Cleveland jazz scene. She has helped to organize the annual Tri-C Jazz Fest on multiple occasions. When asked to organize the event\, Ms. Cook rounded up 72 local musicians in a span of two weeks. Ms. Cook has an astounding record within the community and unceasingly projects her love for jazz in everything she does. Ms. Cook currently resides in the Cleveland area and continues to showcase her charismatic spirit through her performances.\n\n\n\nAva Preston:   \nAva has also performed as a guest singer at a number of national venues including Birdland Jazz Club (New York)\, Bluebird Café (Nashville)\, Andy’s Jazz Café (Chicago) and the Monty Alexander Jazz Festival (Easton\, MD). She has participated in some prestigious summer jazz workshops for vocalists including Grammy Camp\, Stanford Jazz Workshop\, Litchfield Jazz Camp\, New York Voices\, Jazz Port Townsend and Tri-C JazzFest Academy. \nAva sings a variety of genres and languages including songs in French\, Portuguese and Spanish. Ava draws inspiration from jazz legends like Ella Fitzgerald\, Sarah Vaughn\, Billie Holiday\, Cyrille Aimee and Astrud Gilberto. Ava believes music is a universal language that can unite people and promote acceptance of differences around the world.  \nAva’s mentors include internationally acclaimed trumpeter Dominick Farinacci (TED Speaker & former Global Ambassador to Jazz at Lincoln Center)\, pianist Theron Brown (Director of the Rubber City Jazz & Blues Festival)\, vocal icon Kim Nazarian (Grammy Nominated New York Voices)\, guitarist Kurt Reed (Director of Fairlawn & Hudson School of Music)\, and singer/songwriter Susan Anders (Acclaimed Nashville Vocal Coach) among others. \nAva’s artistic influences and inspiration are best explained in her own words. She writes:  \n“I find people inspiring most of all. Listening to the vocal “greats” including Ella Fitzgerald\, Billie Holiday\, Sarah Vaughn\, Louis Armstrong and Nina Simone and appreciating their strong voices\, not only in their singing\, but in equality for all\, truly made jazz into a movement as much as a genre. More modern artists such as Sarah Bareilles\, Nora Jones\, Alanis Morissette\, Stevie Nicks\, Eva Cassidy\, Esperanza Spalding\, Jazzmeia Horn\, Jean Baylor\, Somi\, and Diana Krall stimulate my creative expression.  \nI believe that music is a universal language that can unite people around the world. My platforms are dedicated to promoting unity and anti-bullying. My hope is to move society in a positive direction with my art. Although world peace is a nice thought\, I believe it is an unrealistic absolute for a flawed human condition. My goal is to spread world tolerance and the acceptance of differences through my music.” \n\n\nwww.avaprestonmusic.com\n\n\nThis specific show on May 6th is presented in collaboration with Soul City Cleveland\, Fanon Hill’s documentary project that exists as a movement for community education about local culture.\n\n\nThe WMM Series is made possible with support from The Ohio Arts Council and Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

Soul City Cleveland\, the National Rites of Passage Institute and the Youth Resiliency Institute\, are helping us celebrate the artistry\, self-determination\, and wisdom of elder Black musicians during a special concert taking place on June 4\, at the Beachland Ballroom\, in celebration of African American Music Appreciation Month. East Cleveland-native Fanon Hill is already creating the film Soul City Cleveland as a love letter to Black music\, Ohio\, and the unheralded elder musicians who most embody its spirit of self-determination. \nFrom studio sessions with Jimi Hendrix\, to launching world-renowned independent record labels\, the stories that Soul City Cleveland has uncovered tell the story of Black music in one of America’s most important musical cities\, taking viewers on a music-filled journey from Cleveland to Japan\, the U.K and beyond. In addition to creating this documentary\, Soul City Cleveland and Cleveland Rocks PPF are planning to host a variety of activities and events throughout the year that help to reduce the social isolation and invisibility of elder Black artists while actively preserving\, promoting\, and celebrating their rich contributions to music culture in Cleveland. \nOur June concert event will be a celebration of that mission\, and will also kick off the live music season in the Waterloo Arts District with a roster of some of our greatest black musicians paired with an exhibit of artwork and photography reflecting this remarkable music culture. Our show will feature Cleveland jazz great\, Eddie Baccus\, Sr. Joining him will be an All-Star Soul City Cleveland lineup including Cecil Rucker\, Sr.\, on vibraphone and Shirley Cook as the featured vocalist. Also on the bill is Eugene Ross\, one of Cleveland’s most versatile entertainers.

Ross has performed at the White House\, Martha’s Vineyard\, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and beyond. \nThe event will include a photo exhibition anchored by the photography of 20-year-old Soul City Cleveland Stories photographer\, Khairiya Reid. Reid has been documenting Soul City Cleveland film focal points and locations significant to Greater Cleveland’s African American music heritage as part of Soul City Cleveland Stories. \nA partnership between Cleveland Rocks: Past\, Present and Future\, the National Rites of Passage Institute and the Youth Resiliency Institute\, Soul City Cleveland Stories is a culturally responsive community arts pilot project designed to connect youth and young adults residing in under-resourced communities to elder Black artists through generative immersion. By supporting this concert\, you will not only be getting the opportunity to attend a one-of-a-kind celebration of African American musicianship in Cleveland – you will also be helping to preserve and share this legacy for generations to come! \nDonate Now: https://ioby.org/project/waterloo-makes-music-soul-city-cleveland
