Ray Charles' Childhood Home in Greenville, Florida

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

The historical marker reads as follows:

RAY CHARLES CHILDHOOD HOME

"This house is a reconstruction of the home where musician Ray Charles (1930-2004) lived with his mother, Aretha Williams, and adopted grandmother, Margaret "Muh" Robinson, shortly after his birth in 1930 until about the age of five. "RC," as Ray was known by his friends, received his first piano instruction from Wiley Pitman, owner of the nearby Red Wing Cafe. Ray and his mother later moved into a small house behind the cafe. At age seven, Ray's sight failed and he was sent to the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine. The modest wood frame vernacular house he grew up in was probably constructed in the 1920s. It had no electricity or indoor plumbing. Meals were prepared on a wood-burning stove. A hand-primed pump supplied water from a well next to the house. A fireplace in one of the four small rooms provided warmth, and open windows and doors allowed breezes to cool the house. Because of advanced deterioration, the abandoned house was scheduled for demolition. In 2006, the Town of Greenville purchased the structure to preserve the memory of Ray Charles. With a grant from the Florida Bureau of Historic Preservation, the Town completed the reconstruction of the house in 2008."

LEGENDARY JAZZ/FUSION GUITARIST
PAT METHENY
NEW ALBUM ORCHESTRION
RELEASED TODAY
BRINGS NEW SOUND
TO THE FILLMORE MIAMI BEACH
AT THE JACKIE GLEASON THEATRE
SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 2010
TICKETS ON SALE NOW

Legendary Jazz/Fusion guitarist Pat Metheny debuts his new album Orchstrion into full release today. It has been heralded by many as a totally revolutionary new sound for jazz music. According to critics:

“(Orchestrion) can be considered not just an unqualified and unequivocally successful experiment, but one of the most innovative and compositionally profound albums of his career.” - John Kelman, ALL ABOUT JAZZ

“Metheny’s liner essay stresses that the point of music technology is its help in finding ‘the good notes.’ There are plenty of those here, in fresh combinations.” - Bradley Bambarger, North Star Ledger

“(Orchestrion) combines old-fashioned, unamplified live performance with (Metheny’s) restless urge to innovate.” - The Guardian (U.K.)

“Prepare your mind to be blown…” - PerfectPorridge.com

Pat Metheny brings his revolutionary "solo ensemble" tour Orchestrion to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre on Saturday, April 10 at 8PM.

Throughout his career, Pat Metheny has continued to re-define the genre by utilizing new technology and constantly working to evolve the improvisational and sonic potential of his instrument. Metheny's versatility on any instrument is without peer and he has performed with artists as diverse as Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Milton Nascimento and David Bowie. Over the years, Metheny has won countless polls as "Best Jazz Guitarist" and awards, including three gold records for (Still Life) Talking, Letter from Home, and Secret Story. He has also won 17 Grammy Awards spread out over a variety of different categories including Best Rock Instrumental, Best Contemporary Jazz Recording, Best Jazz Instrumental Solo and Best Instrumental Composition. The Pat Metheny Group won an unprecedented seven consecutive Grammies for seven consecutive albums. Metheny’s focus remains continually on the breaking down of barriers and the exploration of new musical ideas and this "solo ensemble" tour Orchestrion is no exception as Pat moves from brilliant solo guitar improvisations to the unveiling of a totally new technology for the presentation of acoustically driven compositions.

Chief Sandrell Rivers: 1947-2010 - Florida Cultural Leader

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

by Holly Spillane

The South Florida arts world lost a dynamic leader and passionate advocate of jazz and blues on the first morning of the new year. Chief Sandrell Rivers' efforts affected countless area residents over a lifetime of service and tireless promotion of arts, culture and education. Through her associations with the Sunshine Jazz Organization, Diaspora Arts Coalition, The Urban League of Greater Miami, Miami-Dade County, Africa Reconnect, Inc. and others, she remained committed to the assertion that the measure of a society can be found in its culture, and that music is of the utmost importance in the continual growth and advancement of our community.

Born in Miami on Aug. 10, 1947, Rivers grew up in a large, loving family in Overtown and Brownsville. Athletic, dramatic and full of passion, she blossomed during the era of extreme civil rights challenges, which coincided with the heyday of R&B, jazz and Miami soul. Those early years helped develop her confidence and tenacious passion for culture, music, people and causes.

After graduating from Miami Northwestern Senior High in 1965, Rivers earned degrees in Speech, Theater and Communications at Tennessee State University, where she then taught speech and drama courses, directed plays and supervised production and administration. She moved on to teaching positions at Alabama State University, Cleo Johnson School of the Arts, and Kennedy King College in Chicago, and eventually returned home to positions at the University of Miami and Miami-Dade Community College.

Rivers' multifaceted career also included singing, modeling, dancing and acting in everything from plays and films to radio and TV commercials. She directed more than 100 plays and produced numerous entertainment events. As manager of Miami's Joseph Caleb Center, she brought in Hugh Masakela, Isaac Hayes and many others.

Rivers joined Miami-Dade County in 1981 and made her way from the Budget office, through the County Manager’s office and finally settled into a position with Parks & Recreation. There she rose to area-wide arts supervisor and strove to bring arts programming into every park countywide.

A world traveler, Rivers was dedicated in the quest to reconnect African-Americans and the African Diaspora with the Motherland, volunteering for many organizations, coalitions, task forces, business and trade organizations. In 2004, she was bestowed the title of traditional African Chief by King Akran of Badagry, in Lagos State, Nigeria, in recognition of her outstanding community leadership and service. Rivers received many awards and accolades, including Year 2000 African-American Achiever in the arts profession, and she was invited to Maya Angelou’s 80th birthday celebration.

Her association with the Sunshine Jazz Organization resulted in 20 years of friendship and collaboration in the promotion of jazz education and concerts, including outreach programs such as Jazz on Wheels and Arts in the Parks; many concert series, including 2009’s Magic City Jazz at The Caleb; and music celebrations featuring Alice Day, Stanley Turrentine and many others.

Memorial celebrations of Rivers' life took place at The Caleb Center and at her own Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of Brownsville on Jan. 8-9, and featured tributes and gospel and jazz performances. With her dear friend, Dr. Bobby Jones, acting as Master of Ceremonies, a long line of dignitaries, musicians, dancers, friends, colleagues and family came from as far away as Africa and Bangkok to pay homage to the woman who gave so much love and support to so many individuals and causes.

Chief Rivers will be missed beyond measure, but those who knew her will embrace her memory by continuing on the path of service she so eloquently paved.

The Sunshine Jazz Organization honors the life, legacy and friendship of Chief Sandrell Rivers. With eternal gratitude from SJO members, directors and board — President Keith Valles, Vice President Holly Spillane, Treasurer J.D. Mack, Secretary Jeanette Tullis, Editor Ginny Crawford; directors Ralph Clark, Arthur Simms, Gera Wright, Sam Gunning and Keith Clarke; Executive Director Thelma Valles and President Emeritus China Valles. May the flames of her inspiration continue to live within us all.

Clarinetist, Terry Myers will make the music of the Goodman years come alive again in this special tribute to this legendary musician. Terry’s, dynamic career has enabled him to appear with such talented players as Tommy Dorsey Orchestra (Buddy Morrow), Bob Haggert, Milt Hinton, Butch Miles, Warren Vache', Kenny Davern, Marty Grosz, Major Holly, Mousey Alexander, Flip Phillips, Walt Lavinsky, Bill Allred, John Allred, Wild Bill Davison, Chubby Jackson, Duffy Jackson, Rosemary Clooney, Eddie Higgins, Bobby Rosengarten, Larry Elgart, Vince Giordano, and a host of others.

Jazz Meets Elvis in South Florida

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

Gold Coast Jazz Society Presents Jazz Pianist Cyrus Chestnut in “Jazzin’ Elvis”

Fort Lauderdale, FL – Elvis and jazz seem to be an unlikely combination, but the dynamic jazz pianist, Cyrus Chestnut, filters the rock star’s music “through the ears of a jazz musician.” His innate pianistic ability allows his to play a wide range of styles. On January 13, jazz fans will have the opportunity to hear this dynamic performer with his trio at the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 SW 5th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The jazz show begins at 7:45 pm. Single tickets are $35 and $40 and student tickets are $12. Purchase tickets through the Broward Center Box Office at 954-462-0222 or online at www.goldcoastjazz.org or www.browardcenter.org. A pre-concert Jazz Riff jazz talk will be given by radio personality Stu Grant at 7:00pm in the theater before the show. Hailed by Time Magazine as “the best jazz pianist of his generation,” Chestnut started his musical career at the age of three, By age six he was playing piano at the Mount Calvary Star Baptist Church in his hometown of Baltimore, MD. By age nine, he was studying classical music at the Peabody Preparatory Institute in Baltimore. In the fall of 1981, Cyrus began jazz education in Boston, MA at the Berklee College of Music. In 1985, he earned a degree in jazz composition and arranging. While at Berklee, Chestnut was awarded the Eubie Blake Fellowship, the Oscar Peterson, Quincy Jones, and Count Basie awards for exceptional performance standards at the college. After Berklee, Cyrus began further honing his craft as a sideman with some of the legendary and leading musicians in the business including Jon Hendricks, Michael Carvin, Donald Harrison, Terence Blanchard, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Delfeayo Marsalis, Freddie Hubbard, Chick Corea, Jimmy Heath, James Moody, Joe Williams, Isaac Hayes, Kathleen Battle, Betty Carter and, Dizzy Gillespie just to name a few. His association with Betty Carter, which began in 1991, significantly affected his outlook and approach to music, confirming his already iconoclastic instincts. Carter advised him to "take chances" and play things I've never heard," Chestnut says.

He has released a number of CD’s over the years and has been featured on film playing a Count Basie inspired character in the Robert Altman film, Kansas City. His leadership and prowess as a soloist has also led him to be a first call for the piano chair in many big bands including the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All Star Big Band, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, and the Carnegie Hall Jazz Orchestra. He has recorded with the people previously mentioned and others including Bette Midler and Freddy Cole. Chestnut continually tours with his trio, playing live at jazz festivals around the world as well as clubs and concert halls. With his hectic schedule, Cyrus has also found the time to get into jazz education, doing seminars worldwide and, on occasion, educating students in jazz at Middlebury College in Vermont during the winter months. Joined by bassist Dezron Douglass and drummer Neal Smith, he continually uses the trio format to extend, elaborate, and refine the basic conception of the jazz rhythm section. In his own words, "this country and this art form are founded on the basic principles of freedom, whereby a person is able to think, say, or play what he or she chooses.”

Don’t miss this extraordinary jazz musician. Good seats are still available for the January 13 concert. The Gold Coast Jazz Society is a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of jazz music through a mainstage concert series, free community concerts, jazz education programs and other events.
