SUMMARY:VIFF Live | Zappostrophe + Frank Zappa’s 200 Motels Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Time to fly your freak flag and jump into Frank Zappaland. A prodigious and prolific talent\, Zappa (1940-1993) composed\, recorded and produced more than 60 albums; music that brought to rock the complexity and sophistication of classical composition\, drawing on jazz\, blues\, pop and music concrete\, but leavened with a surreal and satiric wit. \nAhead of his time\, Zappa also directed music videos and the feature 200 Motels (with Tony Palmer)\, a free-form rock tour riff with Keith Moon as a hot nun and Ringo Starr playing a dwarf Zappa that was shot on videotape in just 10 days. It’s a cult curio that revels in its own sense of possibility. Before the movie\, enjoy a set of Zappa tunes resurrected and reimagined by the electrifying Zappostrophe\, an eclectic 8-piece band who channel surf FZ’s discography. \nBlair Fisher – vocals / trumpet / flute / keys\nBlair Lewis – guitar / synths / vocals / rubber chicken\nLJ Mounteney – vocals / kazoo\nNick Apivor – percussion / vocals\nGuenter Schulz – guitar\nCole Tinney – keyboards\nBrent Gubbels – bass\nJason Overy – drums

SUMMARY:VIFF Live | Biboye Onanuga Plays Monk + Thelonious Monk: Straight\, No Chaser Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Returning to the VIFF stage\, Biboye Onanuga\, presents: ’The Music of Monk’. The Edmonton-based drummer is joined by an iconoclastic ensemble of Vancouver musicians Quincy Mayes (piano)\, Jodi Proznick (bass)\, and John Nicholson (tenor) for an evening of Monk tunes and arrangements before the 1988 documentary Thelonious Monk: Straight\, No Chaser. \n“The key to swing jazz is to swing it.” Monk’s words are often top of mind when I play this music — “Jazz”. One of the beautiful things about this musical tradition is the ability for an individual’s essence to unravel through their playing. Their touch\, feel\, interpretations\, etc . . . they reveal a person. And while technical skill and ability may be heard\, “a genius is the one most like himself” (Monk) — their sound is felt. I am inspired by the players who seek to earnestly express themselves through the medium of music. Monk may have been the greatest of these. So we celebrate him and his contributions the best way we know how – through the music that was uniquely his own. — Biboye Onanuga \nBiboye Onanuga is a British-born\, Nigerian-Canadian drummer\, and imaginative composer. Steeped in the arts scene since high-school\, he quickly became a sought-after player – recently completing his music degree at MacEwan University and already joining nationally-recognized players such as Jim Head\, Rubim DeToledo\, Mboya Nicholson to name a few. Biboye has made meaningful contributions to his local scene through his instrumental hip-hop/jazz band (Good information)\, 3-year-tenure weekly music series (New Standards) and recent Sunday Jazz series (Daze Days). \nAbout Thelonious Monk: Straight No Chaser\nCharlotte Zwerin’s 1988 documentary draws on 14 hours of prime Monk footage shot by Christian Blackwood in 1967 and 1968 (“like finding the Dead Sea Scrolls of Jazz\,” enthused producer Bruce Ricker. Featuring Monk on tour in Europe\, playing in clubs\, recording\, and in interviews\, the film is supplemented with more recent interviews with band mates and the Baroness Nica de Koenigswarter\, among others.
