  • Spring Season Brings All That Jazz
    Tulane University Spring Season Brings All That Jazz April 25, 2008 1:00 AM Kathryn Hobgood [email protected] This spring brings a bustle of activity for jazz musicians at Tulane University. In addition to multiple performances at the famous New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, campus musicians students as well as more experienced jazzmen on the faculty have a whole lot going on. John Doheny, a professor of practice, plays sax while Jim Markway, a tutor in the Newcomb Department of Music, plays bass in the Professors of Pleasure jazz quintet. (Photo by Kathryn Hobgood) This week, the Tulane Jazz Orchestra will be busy with several appearances. On Tuesday (April 29), the orchestra will have its end-of-semester concert at 8 p.m. in Dixon Theatre. Smaller jazz combos will perform on Wednesday (April 30) beginning at 6 p.m. in Dixon Recital Hall. And on Friday (May 2), the orchestra will perform on the Gentilly Stage at the New Orleans Jazzfest at 11:35 a.m. Tulane students are the musicians in the Tulane Jazz Orchestra. The orchestra is directed by John Doheny, a professor of practice in the Newcomb Department of Music, who is extra busy this season. Doheny teaches jazz theory, history and applied private lessons, in addition to directing the student jazz ensembles. He also is a working musician. A project that came to fruition for Doheny recently was the Tulane faculty jazz quintet's first CD. Dubbing themselves the “Professors of Pleasure,” the quintet features Doheny on saxophone; John Dobry, a professor of practice, on guitar; Jim Markway on bass; and Kevin O'Day on drums.

  • February, ·1943 War Bonds - Our Standing
    THE MILWAUKEE· MAGAZINE l'uhlbhc(l hy lhe CHICAGO, MILWAlIKEE, ST. PAUl: and PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY February, ·1943 War Bonds - Our Standing E HAVE almost reached the 90 percent mark set by the Government for participa­ Wtion in the payroll allotment plan for the purchase of War Savings Bonds. As of January 16 our figure was 89 percent, and by the time this magazine is off the press we may have passed 90 percent. It is mighty good to know that this large proportion of Milwaukee Road employes has answered the appeal of our Government to help the war effort in this way, and we hope those who have not yet signed up will do so in the near future so we can inform the Treasury Department that we are close to 100 percent. That this can be done is proved by the Madison division with 99.4 percent of its employes subscri~ing; the I. &S. M. Division with 99 percent; the Milwaukee Division with 97.7 percent; Tomah shops with 96.5 per­ cent, and other divisions, terminals and shops that have done better than 90 percent. In the Chicago and Seattle general offices the 100 percent mark has been reached by the departments of Purchases and Stores, Law, and Public Relations, as well as the offices of Secretary, Treasurer, and Trustee; the Accounting Department has subscribed 99.7 per­ cent; Traffic Department, 99.4 percent; and the Operating Department, 98.3 percent. We are still far short of the other goal set by the government -10 percent of the payroll for War Bonds.

Over its forty year history, this club hosted variety shows, striptease dancers, and musicians from the city's jazz, rhythm and blues, and punk rock music scenes. Today, the building that was home to the Smilin' Buddha sits in the middle of a neighbourhood undergoing a contested transformation as new upscale develops redefine the historically low-income, working-class neighbourhood. At the same time, the club is being creatively reinterpreted as a symbol of the city's postwar prosperity and rich entertainment history where it was once described primarily as a skid row dive bar.

  • Second Jazz CD for Professors of Pleasure
    Tulane University Second Jazz CD for Professors of Pleasure January 14, 2011 1:15 AM Kathryn Hobgood Ray [email protected] The Professors of Pleasure, led by saxophonist and Tulane instructor John Doheny, recently released the group's second CD, Volume Two, to good reviews. The mainstay personnel of the group are all music instructors at Tulane, as indicated by the playful moniker, including Doheny, pianist Jesse McBride, drummer Geoff Clapp, guitarist John Dobry and bassist Jim Markway. The Professors of Pleasure celebrate their newest CD. They are, from left, Jesse McBride, Geoff Clapp, John Dobry, Allen Dejan, Jim Markway, John Doheny and Andrew Baham. (Photo from John Doheny) Special guests fill in the lineup of musicians. “Jazz education is more than just classroom work and rehearsals,” says Doheny. “By maintaining careers as active professional musicians as well as educators, we act as a conduit to the professional world for our students and a connection to the larger jazz universe for the university.” Green Wave fans will love the Dixieland-style rendition of the “Tulane Fight Song.” But modern jazz is the prevailing theme of Volume Two, which features some jazz standards and original compositions by band members as well as by the New Orleans composer, musician and educator Harold Battiste, whose music was recently celebrated at a Tulane concert. “This CD marks the beginning of a commitment on our part to showcase as many 'modern' New Orleans jazz compositions as possible,” says Doheny. “The history of jazz in New Orleans does not begin and end with the 'traditional' form of the music.”The Professors of Pleasure will celebrate the CD release with two performances at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro on Frenchmen Street in New Orleans on Sunday (Jan.
