Sorry that there hasn't been a new episode of Coffeshop Conversations at Artichoke Music for a few weeks. I've been looking at the four walls of a hospital room and then recovery at home, but most of that is behind me and here we go again, just in time for this year's Montavilla Jazz Festival. With me is guitarist, composer, teacher and PJCE Records honcho Ryan Meagher, no stranger to this podcast. He'll be performing at the festival but he's much more than that these days. The festival runs from Friday, August 30 to Sunday, September 1. This is what our conversation sounded like.

A couple of weeks ago composer/guitarist Ryan Meagher was here to talk about his latest recording, AftEarth a collaboration with artist Tina Granzo. If you heard it you realize that it had a profound impact on me. It is such a close collaboration that I felt we had to hear from the other half of the creators. So with me in the Café at Artichoke Music is Tina Granzo who's drawings along with Ryan's music have made this such an evocative work. Whether you think it's about climate change or a document evoking those years we were quarantined, it is a remarkable work. So closing the circle, meet Tina Granzo.
Ryan Meagher is in the Artichoke Café with me today. He is a very busy man. Besides his career as guitarist and composer, he is also the Artistic Director of the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble where he also runs their PJCE label. He also programs the Montavilla Jazz Festival, does a lot of teaching and I will run out of intro time if I continued to list what else he does. He's here to talk about his latest project, a combination of his music and Tina Granzo's art called AftEarth. It was written and recorded during the Covid lockdown. It's one of the most unusual, compelling documents of that time. And something you should hear. Let's talk with Ryan Meagher.
Just a few more weeks until we're back in the Artichoke Music Café. The podcast which goes up on August 19 with Reggie Houston, fresh from New Orleans will mark our return home to Artichoke. The 19th also marks the start of the three day Montavilla Jazz Festival, and as we always do, joining me electronically to talk about the full lineup is one of its curators, specifically Program Director, guitarist/composer Ryan Meagher. Ryan and I are also big baseball fans but we'll save that until I shut off the recorder. Montavilla exists on its own but is greatly influenced in subjects and aims of the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble. Therefore, here's the non-baseball part of my conversation with Ryan Meagher.
Composer/guitarist Ryan Meagher is in the Artichoke Café with me today at yet another turning point in the long sad saga of trying to make and listen to music during the pandemic. He's one of the folks who plan and execute the Montavilla Jazz Festival around this time every year. OMN is happy to be a sponsor. It's the festival home for what we used to call “avant-garde” music. I don't know if anyone has settled on a new name for it but you know what I mean. This year it's Friday, August 20 to 22nd. Ryan will tell us about it, but since we do these a week or so in advance and since covid protocols have changed, please check with their website to find out if there are any changes. https://montavillajazz.org/ Meanwhile, I delayed turning on the recorder until we had talked baseball for a while, which we always do.
It's lovely to be joined in the Artichoke Café today by singer, guitarist, composer and all-around great person, Mary Flower. She'll be a part of a celebration here at Artichoke they're calling Summerfest, Thursday through Sunday, August 26th through 29th with a full lineup of not only your Artichoke favorites but some folks you'd never expect like Coffeeshop Conversations favorites Darkswoon. Mary has a new tune, written during the pandemic which she will perform for us at the end of our conversation. We'll also find out how she's handling emerging again. Next week Ryan Meagher will be in the Café and tell us about how he and his compatriots have put together an exciting 2021 version of the Montavilla Jazz Festival. But now let's turn our attention to Mary Flower.
The Worcester Red Sox Show - The Four Horsemen Return: With Dr. Charles Steinberg out this week, we have the pleasure of welcoming Anthony Cahill, Ben Proctor, and Ryan Meagher. Jim Cain was in Pawtucket for this one but he was with us in spirit. (August 27th, 2020) gowoosox.com for more!

We're back at the Café in Artichoke Music, 2007 SE Powell Boulevard for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation…and they actually give us coffee, too. We’ve got some exciting stuff planned for you over the next few months, but it’s still very hush hush sweet Charlotte. With me today is Ryan Meagher, for those of you reading this, it’s pronounced “Marr.” You know him as a guitarist and composer and also as Artistic Director of the Montavilla Jazz Festival, coming up on Saturday and Sunday, August 17 and 18 at Portland Metro Arts. It’s a special festival. No other like it. It’s a part of Portland Jazz Composers ensemble and that means new music, some of which is composed expressly for the festival. Ryan is going to tell us about all of the performers. Really.
Ryan Meagher’s new album of “collective spontaneous composition” is called Evil Twin, and its the 32nd release on PJCE Records. You can hear the band perform live at the 2018 Montavilla Jazz Festival, on August 18th at 4:10 pm. Learn more and get your tickets at montavillajazzfest.com. The album drops August 17th. Stream and buy the album at pjce.bandcamp.com.
Back at World Cup Coffee and Tea at NW 18th & Glisan in the world famous Cupping Room after a week in the OMN booth at the Waterfront Blues Festival. I’ve got composer/guitarist Ryan Meagher in here with me, continuing something that I find fascinating, that’s when we bring in the curator of one of Portland’s music festivals and have them talk about the performers they’ve booked into the festival. The Montavilla Jazz Festival returns this year on Saturday and Sunday August 18 and 19. It’s the most adventurous of all the festivals. Ryan will also be performing. We’ll hear at tune from his latest album Evil Twin at the end of our conversation. The festival is, if not a part of, at least very closely aligned with the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble organization which is very active in bringing a special kind of Jazz to us on a regular basis. Ryan’s been in the coffeshop before, and he’s always welcome.

Thanks for joining us again at World Cup Coffee and Tea, NW 18th & Glisan for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation. Joining me today is Douglas Detrick, the Executive Director of Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble which I have been covering since before it was a real organization about ten years ago, and before there was an OMN. Since he became Executive Director he along with Ryan Meagher and Mieke Bruggeman-Smith have made PJCE into a real cultural force in Oregon. They’ve got a large amount of concerts and events coming this fall and we’re going to get the inside scoop on them. Douglas is also a trumpeter, composer and arranger. How does he have time for all this and his two little kids? Let’s meet him.
January 22, 2016 In the coffeeshop with me today is guitarist, composer…and a lot more…Ryan Meagher. The coffeeshop, as usual is World Cup Coffee and Tea at Northwest 18th and Glisan in Portland. Ryan has just gotten back from New York and I’ll be asking about what he did there. He’s working on a new album, he’s one of the leaders of the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble as well as its label PJCE Records, he’s one of the founders of the Montavilla Jazz Festival and he recently was named Editor of the Jazz Society of Oregon’s JazzScene Magazine. Although, over the years, our conversations always turn to baseball (he’s a Giants fan), I’m going to try to keep this one on music. I don’t think I’ll be completely successful but I’ll try. He’s been in Portland just a few years, but he has truly made his mark since he arrived and it’s safe to say he’s a major player these days.
Guitarist and composer Ryan Meagher’s fifth album is called Mist, Moss, Home. It’s a musical celebration of all things Oregon, the state he now calls home. Get the album at pjce.org.
