Sunny and Her Joy Boys is the brainchild of Stony Plain's award-winning guitarist and producer Duke Robillard, and it marks the remarkable voice of Sunny Crownover, whose beautiful interpretations of tunes from the great American songbook are nothing less than a revelation.
The latest of many eclectic and wildly different projects Robillard has brought to Stony Plain, it's also the first that's featured a woman singer, and a band of classic jazz players ? and one without a drummer. Now based in New England, Crownover spent a large part of her life in Texas. Robillard heard her sing for the first time in late 2007 at a Harvard University concert and knew he'd found the voice he was looking for to bring a project to life he'd been wanting to do for over 35 years. The CD salutes the golden era of women vocalists of the '20s through the '50s, where big bands and small combos alike created classic American pop, swing and blues songs of the day. Robillard says he's wanted to cover this sort of classic jazz for 35 years. "I'm really fond of the swing-era female vocalists, and tunes from the Depression Era, Tin Pan Alley tunes and tunes by the great writers. Until now, I never found the right vocalist." Robillard assembled a small all-acoustic group to provide sympathetic backing to Crownover's voice, with Billy Novick on clarinet and alto saxophone, Duke and Paul Kalesnikow on arch top guitars and Jesse Williams on acoustic bass.

Two Massachusetts artists present an exhibition that demonstrates the potential of structure-based freedom. Catherine Carter’s web-like networks, extruded as fluid paint through squeeze-bottles and rooted in the configurations of hand-writing, imply energetic movement and impressionistic forms. Jeanne Williamson’s grid-based compositions derive from architectural elements – both in spirit, as the artist is inspired by views of building facades under construction, and literally, as she uses lengths of orange construction fencing as a template to print through. Together, their work goes beyond its organized framework with twisting lines, bouncing shapes and glowing colors.

All forms of art-making embrace the word linear – it is an essential element of visual language. Words such as logic, perception, and thinking seem to be a perfect mate to our notions of line. Terms like value, shape, form, edge, and contour provide the structure through which we can evaluate and interpret art forms and are elemental to our understanding of line.

About the photographs:
The creation of this series of photographs began ( innocently-enough ) with a picture of cut daffodils, just beginning to open, in a vase in the photographer’s kitchen. A week later, the fading bouquet was bundled with an elastic bow and tossed out into the cold on a glass-topped patio table. As the flowers deteriorated, more pictures were made as time, light, and weather conditions affected the daffodils over the next six weeks, resulting an a wide variety of images.
