Bio
"This is not a cheerful Dixieland jazz in the mandatory white costumes. This is underground - in mesh stockings and black dress." (Maria Kosheleva, kulsi.ru).. Born in Fort McMurray, Alberta, violist and violinist Tanya Kalmanovitch now inhabits the spaces between modern jazz, classical music and free improvisation. Actively performing in New York City since 2004, she has been named “Best New Talent” by All About Jazz New York, while Time Out New York identified her as “the Juilliard-trained violist who’s been tearing up the scene”... Tanya’s debut recording with her quartet Hut Five was hailed by the Montreal Gazette as “an exceptional recording, one of the more engaging recordings heard in some time” and was garnished with a number of stars by DownBeat magazine. Her latest recording with pianist Myra Melford, is titled Heart Mountain (Perspicacity, 2007)... Tanya has performed in Europe and North America with a diverse range of artists including Mark Turner, Benoît Delbecq, Mark Helias, Dominique Pifarély, Andy Laster, Tom Rainey, Ernst Reijseger, Mat Maneri, and the Turtle Island String Quartet, Martin Hayes, John Cage and Shujaat Husain Khan. She has travelled frequently to India where she has studied Karnatic music with violinist Lalgudi G. J. R. Krishnan and veena player Karaikudi S. Subramanian while conducting doctoral dissertation research on jazz exotica... Tanya teaches regularly at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London UK and the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag NL, and is a member of the faculty of the department of Creative Improvisation at Boston’s New England Conservatory. She frequently presents workshops on improvisation for string players, classical musicians, jazz musicians, and musicians in general in the Netherlands, Ireland, the United States, and the Czech Republic... She is a founding member of the Brooklyn Jazz Underground, a collective of ten independent bandleaders based in New York City. She is also the Canadian representative to the International Association of Schools of Jazz, a founding member of the Jazz String Caucus of the International Association for Jazz Education, and a mentor to the Sisters in Jazz Program. -

Tanya,
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE WOLF MAN ...
"Even a man who is PURE IN HEART
and says his PRAYERS BY NIGHT
may become a WOLF when the WOLFBANE BLOOMS
and the AUTUMN MOON is BRIGHT."
~ The Legend of "The Wolf Man"
BEWARE OF THE BRIGHT FULL MOON!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HALLOWEEN ...
"Tis the night - the NIGHT
Of the GRAVE'S DELIGHT,
And the warlocks are at their play;
Ye think that without
The WILD WINDS shout,
But no, it is THEY - it is THEY."
~ Arthur Cleveland Coxe
SHADOWS OF A THOUSAND YEARS RISE AGAIN
UNSEEN. VOICES WHISPER IN THE TREES,
"TONIGHT IS HALLOWEEN!"

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PLAYING TRUMPET ...
"Playing the TRUMPET is such an intangible experience.
The player is compelled to start FROM THE BEGINNING
and build anew each day. It isn't like building a house,
where we can RESUME BUILDING where we left off
the previous day's accomplishments. EACH NEW DAY
we must rebuild the foundation of our musical structure."
~ Armando Ghitalla
IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL YOU HAVE TO
PLAY YOUR BEST WHEN YOU FEEL YOUR WORST.

Sending Lots of LOVE and RESPECT to you Tanya!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SELF RESPECT ...
"Don't RELY ON someone else for your HAPPINESS
and SELF WORTH. Only YOU can be responsible for that.
If you can't LOVE and RESPECT YOURSELF -
NO ONE ELSE will be able to make that happen.
Accept WHO YOU ARE - completely; the good and the bad -
and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think
SOMEONE ELSE wants you to be different."
~ Stacey Charter
RESPECT YOURSELF AND YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE
AND RESPECT OTHERS. NEVER SELL YOURSELF SHORT!
YOU ARE BETTER THAN YOU THINK!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

One Step At A Time Tanya!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE LADDER TO SUCCESS ...
“The ELEVATOR to success is OUT OF ORDER.
You’ll have to use the LADDER …
ONE STEP AT A TIME.”
~ Joe Girard
THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS IN LIFE!
ALL OUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE ~
IF WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO PURSUE THEM!

Don't let WORRY and STRESS control you Tanya!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WORRY ...
"Some of your HURTS you have CURED,
And the SHARPEST you still have SURVIVED,
But what TORMENTS OF GRIEF you ENDURED,
From the EVIL WHICH NEVER ARRIVED."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
DO NOT ANTICIPATE TROUBLE OR WORRY ABOUT
WHAT MAY NEVER HAPPEN.
WORRY, DOUBT, FEAR, AND DESPAIR ARE THE ENEMIES THAT SLOWLY BRING US DOWN TO THE GROUND AND TURN US TO DUST BEFORE WE DIE.
WORRY NEVER GETS US ANYWHERE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HUGS ...
"HUGGING is the IDEAL GIFT.
GREAT for any occasion, FUN to give and receive, shows you care, comes with its own wrapping and, of course, is fully returnable.
HUGGING is PRACTICALLY PERFECT.
> No batteries to wear out,
> inflation-proof,
> nonfattening,
> no monthly payments,
> theft-proof
> and NONTAXABLE."
THROUGH YOUR EMBRACE YOU SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS, WITHOUT EVER SAYING ONE!
