Katrina Charles (University of Oxford), Sarah Dickin (Stockholm Environment Institute), & Wendy Jepson (Household Water Insecurity Experiences Network)
REACH launches new collaboration on the role of gender norms and relations within and beyond the household to advance water security for climate resilience.
Women bear the burden of water insecurity. This is a common narrative in the water sector as women are often responsible for collecting and managing household water. These gendered roles don't change when women work outside the home. Diverse evidence demonstrates this impact on women: Women are 1.5 times more likely to report water-fetching injury than men. In times of drought or water scarcity, women walk further, for longer periods to collect water. Women are often responsible for caring for people in the household when the water makes them sickSuch gendered burdens around household water insecurity manifest in the compromised mental health, increased exposure to gender-based violence , and even physiological outcomes.
While much focus has been on women, men and children also have particular roles and responsibilities in relation to water that influence water security outcomes. Due to these different roles and responsibilities, water insecurity is experienced differently, including differences in how anxiety and fears manifest, but also differences in values and priorities that can influence uptake of interventions.
Women may be responsible for water collection, but restrictive gender norms and roles limit their ability to make decisions that will change the water security outcomes for themselves and their household, such as through having less control over the household finances spent on water. They also restrict their opportunities to engage in community level activities to improve water security, such as speaking up publicly to ensure services meet their needs. Assumptions about these gender norms and responsibilities lead to asymmetries in access to information and access to resources. For example, if only women are trained in the health risks of unsafe drinking water, men may not prioritise investment in safe drinking water. Or if climate information is only accessible via mobile phones, women may not have the information to take decisions on water management that build their resilience.
A gendered approach to improving water security
Addressing water insecurity isn't just about technological changes in improving water access and water safety – although these remain important. To create change we need to understand the ways in which gender norms, roles and relations produce inequalities in water security at the individual level, not just at the household level which is so often the unit of analysis. We need to understand how gendered roles impact on the success of interventions at community level and beyond.
At REACH, we are embarking on a new international, interdisciplinary collaboration, REACH-WISER – Water Insecurity, Equity and Resilience – to provide evidence on the impacts of gender norms, roles and relations on water security and climate resilience. This collaboration builds on the research in REACH's Water Security Observatories, bringing in key new partners:
The Household Water Insecurity Experiences-Research Coordination Network (HWISE-RCN), funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation since 2018, has led global scholarship on the fundamental concerns related to water for human development. The HWISE Network draws from scholars, policy makers, and practitioners globally to advance the goal of sustainable and socially equitable water policy and interventions through the robust evaluation of key water security problems, and aims to create a network that supports scientific discovery and professional development.
Stockholm Environment Institute, an international non-profit research and policy organization tackling environment and development challenges, with an emphasis on gender equality, social equity and poverty. SEI led the development of the first quantitative tool for measuring women's empowerment in the WASH sector, together with researchers from Queen's University and REACH.
Working with the Water Security & Sustainable Development Hub to ensure gender norms are part of a systems thinking approach to water security.
We look forward to working with these new partners to advance equity in water security and build capacity for gendered water research.

Trish Clowes All You Need To Know
Saxophonist Trish Clowes has been described as "one of the most agile and original jugglers of improv and adventurous composition to have appeared in the UK in recent times" (John Fordham, the Guardian). A BASCA British Composer Award winner and former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Clowes has received critical acclaim for all four of her releases for Basho Records.
Her My Iris quartet – with Chris Montague on guitar, Ross Stanley on piano and Hammond organ and James Maddren on drums – has been hailed as "the jazz of the future" (Augsburger Allgemaine). The band have toured and performed in the UK, Ireland and Germany, including appearances at the Barbican (EFG London Jazz Festival), the National Opera House (Wexford), Gateshead International Jazz Festival, Turner Sims, Women in (e)motion Festival and the Stadthaus Ulm. They have also recorded broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and Radio Bremen. Their 2017 album, also called 'My Iris', received plaudits and acclaim from jazz critics. Dave Gelly of The Observer wrote that 'with just four players, the variety of tone colour is remarkable' and Cormac Larkin in The Irish Times suggested that "(My Iris) represents the front rank of the new generation of UK jazz." My Iris will release a brand new album in May 2019.
Born on May 11th 1984, Clowes was raised in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and moved to London in 2003 to study at the Royal Academy of Music, notably with saxophonist Iain Ballamy and composer Pete Churchill. Clowes was later honoured as an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (2013). She formed her first group 'Tangent' following a development award from the Musicians Benevolent Fund (now Help Musicians UK) in 2008. Clowes' first album 'Tangent' in 2010 featured this band, special guest pianist Gwilym Simcock and an orchestra conducted by Jules Buckley and was noted for its "promise – and ambitious vision" (Guardian). Her second album 'and in the night-time she is there' (2012) featured an improvising string quartet led by Thomas Gould and Clowes recorded her "highly individual" (Schweiz am Sonntag) third album 'Pocket Compass' (2014) while a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, working with the BBC Concert Orchestra on three tracks.
Clowes has been commissioned by BBC Radio 3 on two occasions to write for the BBC Concert Orchestra. The first commission, 'The Fox, the Parakeet and the Chestnut', was premiered at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in 2014, featuring a quintet with Gwilym Simcock, Mike Walker, Calum Gourlay and James Maddren. The piece went on to win Clowes a BASCA British Composer Award in 2015. Clowes premiered her most recent commission, entitled 'Loujean and Lucy', at the Royal Festival Hall in November 2017 as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival – this time featuring just two soloists, Clowes and pianist Ross Stanley. The piece celebrates the story of two women brought together through the Homes for Syrians initiative. During the same concert Clowes and Stanley made use of the hall's famous organ, performing a duo version of Clowes' 'A cat called Behemoth' (inspired by a character in Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita).
Alongside her work as a performer and composer Clowes has been curating her own new music project Emulsion since 2012, which she now organises with saxophonist Tom Harrison. Emulsion has hosted various events and festivals in London, Birmingham, Shrewsbury and at Cheltenham Music Festival, receiving coverage on BBC Radio 3 along the way, and to date has commissioned seventeen new works. Featured collaborators include ECM artists Food (Iain Ballamy and Thomas Strønen), pianist-composers Nikki Iles and Robert Mitchell and composers Joe Cutler and Cevanne Horrocks-Hopayian. Over the years the project has received funding from PRS for Music Foundation, Arts Council England, Musikfondene (Norway), Jerwood Charitable Foundation, Birmingham City University and its own Kickstarter backers.
Other significant achievements include a television appearance as part of BBC Proms Extra, a songs project called Under Your Wing with vocalist Norma Winstone and guitarist Mike Walker (broadcast on BBC Radio 3, 2014), solo appearances with BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra (Celtic Connections 2014) and Northern Sinfonia, a debut at Wigmore Hall (2015) with the Heath Quartet and Gwilym Simcock and commissions for Onyx Brass and London Sinfonietta.
After an inspirational experience at the Banff International Jazz Workshop (2015, curated by Vijay Iyer), Clowes decided to research Emulsion's potential as an immersive performance space and is currently a PhD candidate at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire with a STEAM Scholarship. Her supervisory team includes Dr Nicholas Gebhardt, Dr Joe Cutler, Dr Tony Whyton, Dr Vijay Iyer and Fiona Talkington.
The work of a musician goes beyond the stage and Clowes is passionate about her roles as professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and ambassador for the charity Donate4Refugees.

In 2013, he teamed up with like-minded musicians/educators John Nash, Patrick Liddell and Elisabeth Johnson and founded a not-your-typical music-school school in Oakland CA to promote experiencing/learning music as a whole art form, as something relevant and exciting, called Mynah Music. Most recently, he became the Music Director and conductor of a youth orchestra in Buenos Aires, Argentina in a government funded program inspired by Venezuela's El Sistema.
His composition style is wide ranging, steeped in modern classical, experimental, experiential, thoughtful, jazz, rock and pop genres, but never limits himself to anything and absorbs all music listened to. He creates moods and aural images that captivate, intrigue, invigorate, confuse and/or excite his audience.

Todd Marcus All You Need to Know
Baltimore bass clarinetist, composer, and arranger Todd Marcus is one of the few jazz artists worldwide to focus exclusively on use of the bass clarinet as a solo instrument. While most uses of bass clarinet in jazz typically lean towards avant-garde and free-music styles, Marcus' playing presents the instrument with a modern straight-ahead jazz approach. His music swings hard with both fiery and introspective intensity but also maintains a strong lyrical sensibility. Marcus has presented music for 15 years and along the way received accolades including a Jazz Hero Award from the Jazz Journalists Association in 2017, Maryland's $25,000 Baker prize in 2014, selections as a rising star by national jazz magazine Downbeat annually in its annual critics poll since 2013, and an NPR pick for one of the top 10 jazz albums of 2012, and a JazzTimes pick for one of the top 40 albums of 2015.
Born and raised in the northern New Jersey suburbs of New York City, the half-Egyptian Marcus began music at age six with early piano lessons. He picked up clarinet at age 10 first playing band then classical music repertoire. While in high school, an English teacher who also played New Orleans style jazz piano would introduce Marcus to jazz. But upon trying to join the school's jazz band, Marcus was told saxophones, not clarinets, were the reed instruments allowed in the band and he was turned away.
In 1994 Marcus moved to Baltimore, MD to study political science at Loyola University and again attempted to join the school's big band. This time Marcus was allowed to play and embraced the opportunity. With this first exposure to modern jazz along with a friend's borrowed jazz records of artists like Oscar Peterson, Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane, Marcus began to further explore the music by learning improvisation from records and teaching himself theory and harmony. "I started exploring and realized I would have to figure out how to understand theory and harmony. So I'd just mentally drill myself by thinking - Ok, what is the minor 7th of an E dominant chord? – just exercises like that. And then of course, I learned a lot by just sitting at the piano and plucking away till I could play chord progressions."
While at Loyola, Marcus also began volunteering at a local chapter of Habitat for Humanity in west Baltimore's Sandtown-Winchester community. He soon began to build relationships with community members including a life-long resident and pastor, Rev. C.W. Harris, who mentored him about the African-American community's rich legacy of the arts and jazz, segregation challenges, and battles to overcome decades of poverty resulting from destruction by 1960's riots, flight by black professionals, and an influx of drugs. Harris' mentoring nurtured Marcus' interest in Civil Rights era history, its deep connection with the jazz music of that time, and Marcus' feelings of the need for greater racial reconciliation in America. With a resulting belief in a need to be engaged in community based revitalization, Marcus left college and in 1997 moved into the neighborhood doing community work by day and pursuing his ongoing study of jazz at night.
1997 also marked an important move for Marcus musically as he made the switch from clarinet to bass clarinet shortly after hearing the work of jazz legend Eric Dolphy on the instrument. "I felt it offered a lot more options than regular clarinet," Marcus explains. "It hasn't been easy because of challenges the bass clarinet presents on a sonic and mechanical level but I've worked to present the horn as an equal to saxophones in a straight-ahead playing context. With so few examples of people playing bass clarinet in modern jazz though, I think it's ended up being an opportunity for me to chart some new territory for the instrument."
In late 1998 Marcus returned to New Jersey to complete his college degree in urban studies with two semesters at Rutgers University. While there however, he spent a majority of his time at the school's jazz department. Though not a music major, he was accepted by audition into the department's jazz combos getting his first experience of performing in quartets, trios, and composing.
By mid 1999 Marcus was back in Baltimore working again with Rev. Harris where together they have worked since to run Intersection of Change (intersectionofchange.org), a nonprofit addressing poverty related issues in the community. These efforts have resulted in the establishment in 2000 of Martha's Place, the organization's recovery program for women overcoming substance abuse and homelessness, Jubilee Arts, a program established in 2008 to offer arts classes, entrepreneurship, and community beautification for children and adults, and Strength to Love II in 2016 which operates an urban to address the community's food desert crisis and need for employment opportunities. Work to date has resulted in significant neighborhood community revitalization through the full renovation of six previously vacant and dilapidated buildings, transformation of 18 vacant lots into community green spaces and meditative gardens, creation of a dozen neighborhood murals, and conversion of 96,000 sq./ft. of vacant lots into an urban farm.
Marcus' music career has also grown during these years as he has charted new ground on the bass clarinet and developed as a composer and arranger with his Todd Marcus Quintet, Quartet, Trio, and Duo as well as his nonet, The Todd Marcus Jazz Orchestra. In 2006 he released his debut album In Pursuit of the 9th Man with his Todd Marcus Jazz Orchestra as well as his Todd Marcus Quartet's 2012 release Inheritance. He again featured his jazz orchestra with 2015's Blues for Tahrir and a 2018 quintet album On These Streets.
Though self taught in jazz theory and composition, Marcus' compositions draw largely on intricate but lyrical straight-ahead jazz, classical influences, and over recent years have also increasingly explored the Middle-Eastern sounds from his Egyptian-American heritage. His work includes international performances, clinics, and radio play and he has worked with other jazz artists such as Gary Bartz, Bennie Maupin, Don Byron, Larry Willis, Odean Pope, Gary Thomas, Joel Frahm, Tim Warfield, Ralph Peterson, Warren Wolf, Sean Jones, Xavier Davis, George Colligan, and Orrin Evans.
Marcus's work includes regular performances in Baltimore, Washington DC, New York, and Philadelphia as well international performances, clinics, and radio play. He was a featured artist in 2017 Jazz Tales Festival in Egypt, 2015 Cairo Jazz Festival in Egypt, and in 2005 at the 1st World Bass Clarinet Convention in Rotterdam, Holland.
"My adult life has really been about being a part of and serving my community by day and cultivating my music by night," Marcus shares. "I think I've always felt upset by the injustice of inequities in the world and so being a part of my community has allowed me to specifically deal with ongoing issues that stem from systemic racism and poverty. And at the same time, my music has allowed me to try to create some beauty that hopefully unites people across all races through the power of music."

Danny Green All You Need To Know
Over the past decade, jazz pianist and Origin Records recording artist Danny Green has earned recognition as a bandleader and as a composer with a gift for spinning supple, absorbing narratives. Green's growing portfolio of vibrant sounds – an enchanting mix of jazz, classical, and Brazilian rhythms – has captured the attention of critics around the world, including DownBeat Magazine, Jazziz, San Diego Union Tribune, the Boston Globe, and Public Radio International. It's no small wonder that Green has earned two San Diego Music awards for Best Jazz Album and an additional award for Best Jazz Artist. His long-time trio includes bassist Justin Grinnell and drummer Julien Cantelm, noteworthy musicians in their own right, and together they have developed a nearly psychic connection as they perform Green's original compositions and jazz standards. Green takes listeners on a journey that is equal parts introspective and exuberant, and always compelling.
Green's talents have taken him from the Blue Note in New York City to the Blue Whale in Los Angeles, and his work has been featured in DownBeat Magazine, Jazziz, the San Diego Union Tribune, The Boston Globe, NPR, and JazzEd. According to JazzReview.com, "Danny Green is what evolution in jazz is all about, expressing the traits of those that came before him, with a style and panache that is all his own…an individual who expresses what is inside of him."
Green revealed his unique talents on his 2009 debut recording With You In Mind. The album received extensive airplay around the globe, rose to #18 on the Jazz Week Charts, and won "Best Jazz Album" at the 2009 San Diego Music Awards. In 2012, Green teamed up with Tapestry Records to release A Thousand Ways Home, featuring Justin Grinnell on bass, Julien Cantelm on drums, and Tripp Sprague on sax, as well as a talented cast of guest artists inducing guitarists Chico Pinheiro, Peter Sprague, and Dusty Brough, Brazilian vocalist Claudia Villela, and mandolinist Eva Scow. A Thousand Ways Home received numerous rave reviews nationwide, rose to #17 on the Jazz Week Charts, was voted into KSDS Jazz 88.3's "Top Ten Jazz Releases of 2012," and was nominated "Best Jazz Album" at the 2013 San Diego Music Awards.
In 2014, the Danny Green Trio, comprised of Green, Grinnell, and Cantelm, released the highly-acclaimed album After The Calm on Origin/OA2 Records. Featuring ten of Green's compositions, the album received much praise from the press and nationwide radio play, and won "Best Jazz Album" at the 2015 San Diego Music Awards and was nominated for "Album of the Year."
The trio recorded their 2016 release, Altered Narratives, at New York City's famed Sear Sound recording studio with award-winning producer Matt Pierson. Released on Origin/OA2 Records, the album consists of eleven original compositions by Green. The three tunes at the center of the album feature the trio with a string quartet led by violinist Antoine Silverman, a widely admired New York classical and studio player. All About Jazz critic Dan McClenaghan commented, "There's nothing that adds a touch of elegance to a jazz set more than an adeptly-done string arrangement, and these are superb; violins, viola and cello in a sinuous, sometimes whispering embrace with a vibrant, top-notch piano trio, delving into Danny Green's distinguished compositions." The album remained on the Jazz Week Top 50 chart for fourteen weeks and earned high praise from critics worldwide.
The Danny Green Trio Plus Strings released its first full length album, One Day It Will, in 2018. The album features San Diego Symphony violinists Kate Hatmaker and Igor Pandurski, violist Travis Maril, and cellist Erica Erenyi. One Day It Will was featured in DownBeat Magazine, Jazz Weekly (selected as "Ringer of the Week"), CD Hotlist (selected as "Pick of the Month"), The New York City Jazz Record, Mercury News, and Long Islander News, among many other press outlets. Jazz da Gama called the album, "one to die for." The album remained on the Jazz Week Top 50 charts for five weeks and was featured multiple times on Public Radio International's nationally syndicated Jazz After Hours.
Green has brought his Trio Plus Strings to venues throughout the United States. The group debuted in 2016 at New York City's Shapeshifter Lab, and since then has maintained a steady performance schedule, including shows at Huntington Summer Arts Festival (NY), TEDxSan Diego at Copley Symphony Hall, KSDS Jazz 88.3's Jazz Live (San Diego), Portola Vineyards Summer Jazz Series (Los Altos, CA), The Blue Whale (Los Angeles), An Die Musik Live! (Baltimore), and Rockwood Music Hall (NYC). The Danny Green Trio Plus Strings was selected to perform at the prestigious Western Arts Alliance Juried Showcase in 2017.
Green is highly devoted to music education. Green and his trio have given clinics and masterclasses throughout the United States. In addition to his work as a private piano instructor, Green is a faculty member of the annual Jazz 88.3 Summer Jazz Workshop, adjunct faculty at Grossmont Community College, and he presents a jazz appreciation workshop at elementary schools as part of the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library's outreach program. Green directed the jazz ensemble at Coronado School of the Arts from 2014-2017, and was an artist in residence at Canyon Crest Academy and at CSU Summer Arts Monterey.

Pat Bianchi All You Need to Know
Two-time grammy nominated organist and winner of Downbeat Magazine's 2016 rising star poll Pat Bianchi, has established himself as one of the principal organists on the scene today. His command of the instrument, harmonic prowess, rhythmic intensity and versatility are rivaled by few. His most recent release, A Higher Standard featuring Byron Landham and Craig Ebner, exemplifies Bianchi's superiority and finesse in the organ trio setting, bringing jazz standards to a completely 'higher' level. When Pat is not leading his own trio, he performs regularly with jazz guitar icon, Pat Martino. Bianchi also continues to perform with NEA Jazz Master and saxophone legend, Lou Donaldson.
Bianchi, who comes from a musically gifted family, began playing organ at the age of 7, after receiving a Farfisa Compact Duo organ as a Christmas gift. His grandfathers (Pat Bianchi – Saxophone and Richard Zona – Trumpet) along with his father (Nick Bianchi – Drums) all working musicians, provided a great deal of support and guidance early in his musical development. Recognizing Pat's continuing affinity for music, his parents enrolled him in classical piano study. While still maintaining a strong interest in organ, he was playing his first professional gigs by the age of 11, eventually performing with dance bands around his hometown of Rochester, NY.
Bianchi's interest shifted in his high school years as he began to also focus on piano. Enrolling in The Eastman School of Music's preparatory program for piano and music theory, while being mentored by numerous musicians in the Rochester jazz scene. Through a rich mentoring system, passion and dedication, (also not being able to play left hand bass on a Spinet organ) Bianchi taught himself to play bass lines solely with his foot pedals.
Upon graduating high school, Bianchi continued his studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston and graduated in 1998 with a Bachelors of Music in Jazz Piano Performance. Shortly after graduating cum laude, Bianchi secured the position as the house pianist at the famous El Chapultepec club in Denver, CO. The Pec (as it is known to locals) often brought in guest artists giving Pat the opportunity to play with such greats as Red Holloway, Dakota Staton, Carl Fontana, Javon Jackson, Mark Elf, Bud Shank, Brad Leali, Pete Christlieb, and Conte Candoli. After being at the Pec for 6 nights a week for almost 3 years, Pat became an important fixture on the Denver Jazz Scene.
At this time, Bianchi decided to focus exclusively on the organ making his national debut as an organist, appearing on two recordings as a member the Denver based organ trio, 3osity. The national release of Art of The Jazz Organ Trio and the subsequent recording Tri-O-City brought Bianchi wider recognition and onto a larger stage as a rising star of the organ.
Moving to NYC, Bianchi quickly established himself in the competitive New York scene. At this time, legendary saxophonist Lou Donaldson immediately took notice of the young organist.
Bianchi then joined the faculty of the University of Colorado at Boulder Jazz Studies Program teaching piano, theory and ensembles to undergraduate, masters and doctoral students. During this time he recorded his first album as a leader, East Coast Roots, which features Mark Whitfield on guitar and Byron Landham on drums. At the same time, Bianchi began working closely with drummer Ralph Peterson Jr. on collaborative projects, including and co-leading The Unity Project (a tribute to organist Larry Young and his album Unity).
Bianchi returned to New York City in June of 2008, soon after, he officially joined The Lou Donaldson's quartet in 2009. Continuing to play with Lou, Bianchi also joined Pat Martino's working trio in 2011 while taking on the responsibilities as musical director. Bianchi is featured on numerous recordings such as Tim Warfield's Sentimental Journey, a follow up to Warfield's recording One For Shirley (on which he also appears) as well as guitarist Chuck Loeb's release, Plain and Simple. At this time Bianchi also continued to perform with drummer Ralph Peterson Jr., forging ahead with The Unity Project. Bianchi was featured, recording much of this material on Peterson's CD Outer Reaches. Soon after Bianchi released his second recording as a leader, Back Home. This recording features Terell Stafford, Ralph Peterson Jr, Wayne Escoffery, Carmen Intorre Jr. and Gilad Hekselman.
While still actively performing with both Pat Martino and Lou Donaldson, Bianchi not only continues to collaborate with many well known musicians. His next album as a bandleader "Trios" will feature an array of special guests including Pat Martino, Kevin Mahogany, Joe Locke, Peter Bernstein, Paul Bollenback, Byron Landham, Carmen Intorre, Jr. will be released in 2018!

Andy Sheppard All You Need To Know
An ECM recording artist, bandleader and composer, Andy Sheppard is one of Europe's leading saxophonists and one of a very few British musicians to have made a significant impact on the international jazz scene, playing and writing for settings from solo to big band and chamber orchestra. Sheppard has composed over 350 works that incorporate a strong and characteristic sense of lyricism alongside a very personal use of rhythms from Asia, Africa and South America.AndySheppardHorn1FinalX
Sheppard took up the saxophone at 19, highly motivated after encountering the music of John Coltrane, and three weeks after getting his first instrument was playing in public with the Bristol-based quartet Sphere. After a period in Paris where he worked with groups including performance art band Urban Sax, he returned to the UK in the mid-80's recording the album "Andy Sheppard" for Antilles/Island, with Steve Swallow as producer, the beginning of a long musical association that continues to this day. Since then Sheppard has recorded for labels including Blue Note, Verve, Label Bleu and Provocateur.
Sheppard has been invited to compose for large and small ensembles in the areas of jazz and contemporary classical music. His big band writing includes work with the renowned UMO Orchestra (Finland), the Bergen Big Band (Norway) – initially for a joint commission from Cheltenham and Vossa Festivals – Voice of the North and Jambone (UK). Most recently in 2012, Sheppard was commissioned to write a new Big Band Suite for the Bergen Big Band, this brand new work entitled Bump 5250 was performed during the prestigious NattJazz Festival (Norway) in 2013. He wrote music for a collaboration with the classical saxophonist John Harle, and composed View from the Pyramids, a concerto for saxophone and piano for the Bournemouth Sinfonietta, which premiered at the 1998 Salisbury Festival with Joanna MacGregor as piano soloist. Other significant commissions include a solo performance piece for saxophone and electronics from the Maison de la Culture in Amiens which subsequently turned into his Nocturnal Tourist CD; Nothing moved but the wind – a work for the Kintamarni Saxophone Quartet; Strange Episode – a piece for tape oboe and percussion for New Noise; the multi-disciplinary Cityscapes – a collaboration with Joanna McGregor et al for the City of London Festival; Glossolalia – a choral work with saxophone, guitar and percussion soloists commissioned by Bigger Sky and the Norfolk & Norwich Festival with premiere in Norwich Cathedral and new big band and vocal work for the northern youth big band Jambone with youth choir, which premiered at the Gateshead International festival in 2012. Curiously, Sheppard has been commissioned to write music to commemorate two feats of UK engineering.
The first was a collaboration with renowned Northumbrian piper Kathryn Tickell to celebrate the opening of the andy3Gateshead Millennium Bridge. This landmark commission resulted in Music for a New Crossing, written for the Northen Sinfonia, pipes and saxophones, with premiere played live on the spectacular setting of the bridge itself. The second saw Andy commissioned by Brunel 200 to write a piece to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the engineer of the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. For this work, entitled The Living Bridge, Andy composed a fanfare using prepared electronics incorporating the sounds of the bridge and utilizing the talents of 200 local saxophonists in homage to his early work subsequently formed the basis of Saxophone Massive – a series of large-scale celebratory performances performed in the UK and abroad by saxophone choirs made up of players of all ages and abilities that can be tailored to suit indoor or outdoor performance venues. Saxophone Massive has played all over Europe and as part of the BT River of Music, the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad programme supported by the National Lottery and Paul Hamlyn Foundation, in July 2012 there was a special version of saxophone Massive at Somerset House in London. The Man Who Had All the Luck which ran at the Young Vic; dance (his trio Inclassificable devised the music for the award winning dance piece Modern Living, choreographed by Jonathan Lunn); radio and TV. His TV credits include original music commissioned by BBC's Omnibus for Ice dances Torvill and Dean; the Oscar nominated Channel 4 film, Syrup directed by Paul Unwin; a documentary series about Peter Sellers.andy4
Sheppard has been described as a serial collaborator, playing recording and developing new music with artists as varied as Brazilian percussionist Nana Vasconcelos, Indian violinist L.Shankar, English folk musician Kathryn Tickell, contemporary classical composer-performers John Harle and Joanna MacGregor, singer songwriter John Martyn, and a myriad of leading jazz figures, including the rare hat-trick of three of the seminal composers in contemporary Jazz – Carla Bley, George Russell and the late Gil Evans.
The first album for ECM with his own project Movements in Colour recorded in 2008 draws upon established and more recent relationships. The saxophonist plays regularly in duos with jazz guitarist John Parricelli and tabla player Kuljit Bhamra, and both are also members of his quartet in Dancing Man & Woman. It was while touring as a guest soloist with Ketil Bjørnstad's band that Sheppard eventually got to play with Eivind Aarset – "the perfect choice for the sound world that I was after." UK tours with Bjørnstad also brought Sheppard and Arild Andersen together, and while writing the music for Movements in Colour album, Sheppard reports that he was "hearing melodies on acoustic bass and knew that Arild's sound and lyricism would make them sing as well as provide essential energy."
Sheppard's current performing priority is Andy Sheppard Quartet/Surrounded by Sea, his third ECM album is a strongly atmospheric recording.
Extending the range of his widely-praised Trio Libero (ECM) project in 2012 with Michel Benita and Seb Rochford, Andy Sheppard adds Eivind Aarset (who made significant contributions to 2008's Movements In Colour) to the band. With Aarset's ambient drones and electronic textures as a backdrop, Sheppard and co seem to have even more space to explore. The music embraced includes new compositions, open improvisations, an Elvis Costello tune, and the Gaelic traditional ballad "Aoidh, Na Dean Cadal Idir".

Lauren Henderson All You Need To Know
PHOTOGRAPH BY LAUREN DESBERG
Lauren Henderson is a jazz, Latin jazz, soul and fusion vocalist. A recording artist and composer from Massachusetts, Henderson's Caribbean and Latin Heritage are central themes in her original music.
Currently based in both Miami and New York, Lauren performs standards and original music. She has appeared at the Blue Note, Birdland, Joe's Pub, Casa del Jazz (Italia), Regattabar, WGBH, and various national and international venues. Henderson has toured the United States, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain, Mexico and various countries.
Her original music was recently featured in The Drowning, directed by Bette Gordon and starring Julia Stiles, Avan Jogia, Josh Charles, Tracie Thoms and an outstanding cast.
Lauren's eclectic vocal influences spread across genres. Her Afro-Latin influence aids her in producing a distinct yet versatile sound. Lauren's diverse musical background is rooted in jazz and has been influenced by artists like Shirley Horn, Nancy Wilson, Anita O'Day, Chris Connor, Julie London, Sarah Vaughan, Astrud Gilberto, Omara Portuondo, and many others.
Founder and CEO of Brontosaurus Records, Lauren Henderson is pursuing her MBA at Brown University. Having earned college degrees in both Music and Hispanic Studies, at Wheaton College (MA), Lauren continues to combine her love of music and culture. While living in Puebla, México she studied the traditional music of the Yucatán and popular music throughout the country at Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. Through her international piano and voice studies, she worked on developing her musicianship. In Córdoba, España she studied flamenco and its similarities to jazz at La Universidad de Córdoba. An avid nuevo-flamenco listener, Lauren often quotes popular sounds of various countries while nurturing the roots of classic forms.
Henderson began study piano at an early age. She grew up singing in church and school choirs, as well as listening to jazz records her parents and grandparents played in the house. Timid as a young musician, she was always reluctant to sing solos, until given a gentle push by mentors shortly before heading to Wheaton College (MA) to receive her Bachelor of Arts. At Wheaton, she discovered her voice, becoming the Musical Director of her singing group, a member of Jazz Band, studying classical voice and musical theatre, as well as finding inspiration in her professors and master classes with artists like Paquito D'Rivera and Take6.
In 2011 she released her debut album, Lauren Henderson. It was recorded almost immediately upon her arrival in New York. Henderson recorded with close friend and musical partner, Sullivan Fortner (piano), along with Ben Leifer (bass), and Jesse Simpson (drums). The original intent was to create a demo to aid in her pursuit of a career in New York's competitive jazz scene. The quartet recorded classics by Duke Ellington, Hoagy Carmichael, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Rogers and Hart. After the work was shared with colleagues and fellow musicians, it was reviewed by various publications, including DownBeat Magazine, JazzTimes and All About Jazz. It is available on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, and is accessible as a Pandora.com station.
She has had the opportunity to study with legendary and influential musicians like Barry Harris at the Barry Harris Workshop. Lauren has had the opportunity to study and perform with Grammy-Nominated Vocalist, Jane Monheit, and Grammy-Nominated Pianist, Michael Kanan.
Her most recent release, A La Madrugada, features Sullivan Fortner on piano (Impulse - Universal Music Group Artist, Roy Hargrove Quintet and Winner of the Cole Porter American Pianist Association 2015 Jazz Competition), Ameen Saleem on bass (Roy Hargrove Quintet), Louis Fouche on alto saxophone (Steven Colbert, Eddie Palmieri, Christian Scott), Jonathan Powell on trumpet (Eddie Palmieri Afro-Caribbean Sextet, Arturo O'Farrill, voted "Best Latin Jazz Trumpeter" 2009 by Latin Jazz Corner), Riley Mulherkar on trumpet (Member of Juilliard, named "Rising Jazz Artist" by Wynton Marsalis), and Jeremy Bean Clemmons on drums and percussion (Award Winning Producer and prior member of Grammy Nominated, Andy Bey's Quartet, Member of Soul Understated). The recording has been featured and reviewed in various publications. It is available on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, Spotify and various online outlets. A La Madrugada has landed in the JazzWeek Top 100 for over 3 weeks.
In March of 2018, Henderson released ÁRMAME under the direction of Grammy-Nominated Producer and Emmy-Winner, Mark Ruffin! This album will features Terri Lyne Carrington, Josh Evans, Godwin Louis, Sullivan Fortner, Eric Wheeler, Nick Tannura, Nanny Assis, and Joe Saylor and has charted in the JazzWeek Top 40 since its release.
Alma Oscura, Henderson's fourth release, will feature Impulse! artist, Sullivan Fortner, a Steinway Artist and Grammy-Nominated Pianist, Michael Thurber (bass) and the incredible, Joe Saylor (drums and percussion) of Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show'! The compositions are a pleasing mix of jazz, Latin, soul y más!
