  • A Peter White Christmas with Rick Braun and Mindi Abair Brings the Sounds of the Season to Parker Playhouse
    November 20, 2015 Media Contact: Savannah Whaley Pierson Grant Public Relations 954-776-1999 ext. 225 Jan Goodheart, Broward Center 954-765-5814 A PETER WHITE CHRISTMAS WITH RICK BRAUN AND MINDI ABAIR BRINGS THE SOUNDS OF THE SEASON TO PARKER PLAYHOUSE FORT LAUDERDALE – Celebrate the holidays with A Peter White Christmas with Rick Braun and Mindi Abair at Parker Playhouse on Saturday, December 12 at 8 p.m. One of the most versatile and prolific acoustic guitarists, White leads the contemporary jazz lineup in this seasonal concert combining smooth jazz cheer with traditional Christmas classics such as “White Christmas” and “Silent Night,” plus a few surprises along the way. White launched his career as a keyboardist touring with Al Stewart and worked with him in the studio on the classic album Year of the Cat. The tour and that album marked the beginning of a 20-year association with Stewart. During that time, the two musicians co-wrote numerous songs, including Stewart’s 1978 hit, “Time Passages.” After years as a backup musician and a session player, White launched his solo recording career and his annual Christmas tour is fueled by the success of his two highly regarded holiday albums, Songs of the Season (1997) and A Peter White Christmas (2007). Braun adds his stylistically eclectic trumpeting to the mix. A consistent chart-topper who has amassed a catalogue of #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and radio hits throughout his solo career, Braun has also produced #1 hits for David Benoit, Marc Antoine and former Rod Stewart band sidekick Jeff Golub.

  • Adam Hawley, Jackiem Joyner to Play at 2020 Norfolk Waterfront Jazz Festival
    Media Contact: Jordan Lett Email: [email protected] Phone: 757-441-2345 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Adam Hawley, Jackiem Joyner to Play at 2020 Norfolk Waterfront Jazz Festival Date: Friday, January 31, 2020 Norfolk, VA – Guitarist Adam Hawley and saxophonist Jackiem Joyner will perform together at the 2020 Norfolk Waterfront Jazz Festival on Saturday, August 22, 2020. The duo’s performance on Saturday at 5:30pm will open up day two of the festival. Adam Hawley, a native of Portland, Oregon, is a gifted guitarist and prolific sideman. For over a decade, Hawley worked alongside a bevy of pop, jazz, and R&B stars before launching his solo career in 2016 with his breakthrough debut album, Just the Beginning. The release cemented Hawley’s presence on the smooth jazz scene, as Hawley won a pair of Debut Artist of the Year awards in 2016 and registered three No. 1 hits, including "35th St.," which spent five weeks on top of the Billboard Smooth Jazz Chart. With his groove-oriented style, Hawley has performed with a wide variety of the biggest names in music, including Natalie Cole, Jennifer Lopez, Dave Koz, Rick Braun, and many more. Hawley is signed with Kalimba Music, the label founded by Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire. Jackiem Joyner, born in Norfolk in 1980, is a chart- topping saxophonist, as well as music producer and author. Joyner was introduced to the music world by his father, who was a bassist, and his music career began to blossom in the early 2000s when he held the position of music director for World Harvest Outreach Ministries in Newport News.

  • Geographic Perspectives on Contemporary / Smooth Jazz
    GEOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVES ON CONTEMPORARY / SMOOTH JAZZ By WILLIAM ROBERT FLYNN Bachelor of Music in Classical Guitar Performance California State University, Fullerton Fullerton, California 2000 Master of Applied Geography Texas State University San Marcos, Texas 2001 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December, 2014 GEOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVES ON CONTEMPORARY / SMOOTH JAZZ Dissertation Approved: Dr. G. Allen Finchum Dissertation Adviser Dr. Brad A. Bays Dr. Jonathan C. Comer Dr. Thomas Lanners Outside Committee Member ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Completing this dissertation and my doctoral program at Oklahoma State University would not have been possible without the support of many people over the past ten years. I would like to start with my advisor and chair, Dr. Allen Finchum, who not only happens to share my interest in smooth jazz, but has always been there for me. One could not ask for a better mentor, as he was always so giving of his time, whether we were discussing my research, talking about my experiences as a graduate instructor, or him just taking an interest in my personal life. I feel blessed to have been able to work with such a special graduate committee, comprised of Dr. Jon Comer, Dr. Brad Bays, and Dr. Tom Lanners. Dr. Comer sparked my passion for quantitative methods and spatial analysis, and Dr. Bays taught my very first course at OSU, a wonderful and stimulating seminar in historical geography. With Dr. Lanners, I could not have asked for a better fit for my outside committee member, and I feel privileged to have been able to work with a musician of his caliber.
