SUMMARY:Gates Battle of the Bands
DESCRIPTION:Gates Restaurant is celebrating 5-years of championing local music and raising funds for Meals on Wheels\, New Canaan – in 2023 they presented a check for $4.3k. This highly charged production consists of 4-weekly heats and an electrifying final\, hosted by radio presenter Jon Kamal. Produced by Rock Paper Scissors Custom Events\, it is generously sponsored by Karl Chevrolet and CycleBar\, Stamford. The competition is fierce\, and it attracts talented bands and music lovers from all over Fairfield County.\nWeekly heats see two bands play a one-hour set\, at the end of both sets the audience collectively cheer for who they want to put through to the final. Emcee Jon Kamal will then get the final say based on song choice\, energy\, interaction\, talent\, and crowd screams. Following are the 2024 bands\, including 4 finalists from 2023.\n• Saturday\, Jan. 6th Pretty Nasty (8pm) v Captain Obvious (9:30pm)\n• Saturday\, Jan. 13th Retro Express (8pm) v Mind the Gap (9:30pm)\n• Saturday\, Jan 20th The Leftovers (8pm) v Herman & Co (9:30pm)\n• Saturday\, Jan 27th Dead Weight (8pm) v Rock Paper Soul (9:30pm)\nThe ticketed final on Saturday\, February 3rd\, 2024\, features 4 bands playing – special guest judges are recruited to decide their fate.

Back for a third year is renowned international author James Frey. Organizer Rachel Lampen says: “This event has grown from year to year in terms of popularity and talent. I have bands contacting me a year in advance to compete\, and the final is always sold out. It’s the best tonic for January and when the final two bands play the same song – the crowd go wild.”\nGates which opened in 1979\, is an iconic family sports bar and restaurant with live music every Saturday night.

SUMMARY:John Kao presents The World According to Jazz
DESCRIPTION:The New Canaan Museum & Historical Society is pleased to partner with the First Presbyterian Church to present John Kao\, The World According to Jazz: What jazz musicians can teach the rest of us about creativity\, collaboration\, and finding our way in a disrupted time. The event\, which will be held at the church at 178 Oenoke Ridge Road\, is free and open to all. Refreshments will be served.\nIn their journey to mastery\, jazz musicians must become proficient at more than their instruments and the rules of harmony. These deeper capacities include the ability to create meaningfully on demand\, to collaborate with others\, to express authenticity in their artistry\, and to capitalize on practice in striving for mastery.\nIn short\, jazz musicians have a great deal to teach the rest of us. In this presentation\, John Kao\, whom The Economist called “Mr. Creativity”\, will illustrate the principles of jazz using demonstrations at the piano as well as a variety of historical examples. He will draw lessons from the rich traditions\nof jazz that are relevant for all of us\, especially in these dislocated times.\nJohn is author of the bestseller – Jamming; The Art and Discipline of Business Creativity. He is presently the first Turing Fellow at CCAM\, Yale’s center for new media. Described as a “serial innovator\,”John is a former Harvard Business School professor. He is now a New Canaan resident.
