This Music (TM) Presents is a Boston musician’s initiative to recognize the creativity of many who haven’t been given the stage as leaders, often younger than the Jazz scene veterans; those with acknowledgment who can create a new project and musical ideas; and the unsung “gems” who aren’t in the public’ eye and deserve to be. The emphasis is on the freer forms, the adventurous (to help find a “home”).

Fall Raye (they/them) is a trans/non-binary saxophonist, improviser, composer, and educator living in Boston, MA. They work for Noteworthy Musical Experiences, teaching piano, saxophone, flute, and clarinet to students in Massachusetts. Fall also works as a freelance musician, playing weddings for Everluxe Entertainment since 2021 and leading their own projects as a bandleader, show organizer, and composer, performing their original music in California, Las Vegas, Detroit, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. Fall has appeared on multiple albums including Raul Molina’s ‘Matria,’ Naomi Nakanishi’s ‘Hear Me Now,’ and Paolo Paolo Peruzzi’s ‘Songs from the Past and the Holy Spirit.’ In January 2024, “fall,’ their debut self titled album, released on Boomslang Records.

Fall was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, where they started playing the saxophone at 13 years old. They began playing professionally in the area at 16, eventually leaving to study at the Eastman School of Music from 2018-2019, transferred to Berklee College of Music and graduated in 2023. Fall was a YoungArts winner in 2019, participated in the 2023 Sounds of Freedom Residency in Canale Monterano, Italy, and was a composer in residence at Subcircle Dance in September 2024. Fall has performed with some of their musical idols, including Terri Lyne Carrington, Kris Davis, Miguel Zenon, Elena Pinderhughes, Leo Geovesse, Wiliam Parker & Patrichia Nicholson Parker.

Fall's artistic vision is to create work that speaks from their own experiences as a trans person, as a person healing from their own traumas, and through their interpersonal relationships, to create a listening experience where the audience can feel less alone, seen, and in community with others. Through vulnerability through creative and improvised music, Fall aims to create a unique musical experience every time they play, to explore new avenues in music and to reflect the improvisatory nature of living on Earth. Fall's music connects to their breath, heartbeat, and nature, making every spontaneous composition a living body of sound. Fall's work is a direct call to dismantle systems of oppression and exploitation, and provides a lens through which we can see a vision of a society where we all are truly valued and taken care of.

Devon Gates

Recently named one of 2024’s Up and Comers of the Year (The New York City Jazz Record), Devon Gates is a bassist, vocalist, and award-winning composer from Atlanta, Georgia, now based in Brooklyn, NY.

Tyson Jackson

“Every time I have the opportunity to play music, I count it as an absolute pleasure. Without it, I would not be who I am today. As I create, I never lose focus on the main idea which is that it must be played in order to positively affect and influence the listener.” Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, Tyson Jackson first discovered his love for music at the ripe age of 3. He distinctly remembers discovering his passion for music and the drums at New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church; beating on hymnals during church services was his forte`.

Throughout his academic career, Tyson has attended performing arts institutions dedicated to music—these institutions further peaked his interest and allowed his love for music to grow. Throughout his musical career, Jackson has been afforded many opportunities to study and be mentored by world-renowned artists including Dee Dee Bridgewater, Terence Blanchard, Darren Barrett, AJ Wright, Terri Lynn Carrington, Ralph Peterson, Tia Fuller, Sean Jones, Nona Hendryx, etc. Tyson feels that these experiences are invaluable and have truly helped to propel him in his professional career. “As an artist, I realize that I serve as a vessel for music to flow through. It is my duty to continue to pay homage to the masters who have come before me, while incorporating an innovative approach to my artistry, personal brand, and musical endeavors as I develop.

Kentucky musician and composer Ben Sollee, has been blurring boundaries with his musical style and career for nearly two decades – his latest album, Long Haul (2024) is no exception. Drawing on tonal influences from the American and global south, Sollee’s vocals and unique cello style thread through each track binding seemingly disparate chapters of his journey – the Long Haul.

After his last album in 2017, Sollee took a break from touring to grow his family and deepen community connections in Louisville, KY. Now a father of three, Sollee has leaned into his work as a composer; scoring films such as LAND from director Robin Wright, and Maggie Morre(s), a John Slattery film featuring Tina Fey and Jon Hamm. He also scored the podcast series Unreformed, which was recently nominated for a Peabody Award. Outside of music, Sollee helped launch the non-profit Canopy, which supports Kentucky businesses positively impacting their communities and planet.

By extending the guitar to its extremes as a physical material, Pérez denatures the electric guitar beyond its ascribed historical identity, envisioning a musical language that was never conquered and had been left instead to govern itself. His next solo guitar album, Ñ, will be available on Ossicles Records early this year.

Saxophonist Walter Smith III praises him as a “thematic musician, whose playing is deeply connected to the song. He brings an immense amount of energy, leading with it. The heart is at the core of his work—it's the direction and motion of what he plays that truly speaks to him.” Groover’s artistry blends genres effortlessly, constantly pushing the limits of jazz while honoring its rich tradition

Boston based jazz vibraphonist Rich Greenblatt plays with "dazzling speed and a truly magical touch" (John Blenn, Good Times magazine). He draws inspiration from the swinging style of Milt Jackson and the four-mallet technique of Gary Burton.

Rich has released five albums as a leader or co-leader, most recently 'Green Sky,' a collaboration with pianist and composer/arranger Mark Shilansky.
He has played in jazz and blues festivals in the U.S. and Europe and recorded with The Be-Bop Guitars, The Jazz Composers' Alliance, Hide Tokunaga, The Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, The Paramount Brass Quintet, and Inspector Tuppence.
