  • 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.

That's when the five city councilmen, with the help of the city staff and residents, will decide how much to spend and where it will be spent, or vice versa. Unlike personal budgets, wherein there's a set amount to spend and the basic decisions to make are how to spend -it, -governmental budgets have more variables in revenues and expenditures - and how many services or "things" are needed or wanted usually dictates how much will be spent. The big questions to be answered this Saturday are: How much will Sanibel taxpayers have to shell out this year? And, for what? According to the proposed budget document for 1992- 93, if spending remains about the same as last year, is- landers will have to dig a little deeper in their pockets.

  • 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.

  • Rick Braun October 20, 2005 Interviewed By: Bonnie Schendell
    Rick Braun October 20, 2005 Interviewed by: Bonnie Schendell Talented artist, record label executive, producer, cruise host, and family man. Rick Braun is one of the busiest guys out there. With a new CD hitting the streets and a cruise about to sail the seas, I was surprised that he had time to chat. Rick took the time to let us all know how things are going and what’s coming up next. SmoothViews (SV): Let’s start by talking about the new label, ARTizen. You and Richard Elliot have now joined the ranks of other artists starting a record label. Why did you do this instead of just hooking up with another label? Rick Braun (RB): Well, you know, I’ve been on some of the best labels available; the best labels known to man…Warner Bros. [and] Atlantic, to name two of them, and before that on an independent, Mesa/Blue Moon. I have seen very good situations just crumble to the ground, over and over. And I kind of hit a realization that if I want to do this, it is a better situation for me to have control over where the product is going to land ultimately. There is no security in this business. It is a very insecure business. Of course every business is an insecure business now. I was in a situation where I could take the money and sign with another label or I could kind of put my money where my horn is and start making my own records on my own label.

  • Gerald Albright, Richard Elliot and Mindi Abair
    SAXOPHONIST DAVE KOZ TURNS UP THE HEAT WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM HIS FRIENDS: GERALD ALBRIGHT, RICHARD ELLIOT AND MINDI ABAIR Dave Koz and Friends Summer Horns set for release June 11, 2013 For Immediate Release – May 1, 2013 – Eight-time GRAMMY® nominee Dave Koz remembers a time when the summers lasted forever, and the most popular rock, R&B, soul and funk bands of the day were propelled by high-octane, richly arranged horn sections. Indeed, from the late 1960s through the ‘70s, bands like Sly & the Family Stone, Tower of Power, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears and other brassy juggernauts of the era ruled the airwaves and opened his young ears to the saxophone’s limitless possibilities as a solo instrument as well as a collaborative voice with the trumpet and trombone. Four decades later, Koz has assembled three of his most talented and trusted colleagues – Gerald Albright, Richard Elliot and Mindi Abair – to revisit this golden age with new arrangements of classic songs from this period in the history of popular music. Dave Koz and Friends Summer Horns, produced by Paul Brown (Al Jarreau, George Benson, June Tabor, Boney James), is a collaborative effort that throws the spotlight on four high-profile saxophonists, and augments the team with several other equally talented musicians and vocalists. Summer Horns, set for release on June 11, 2013, on Concord Records, turns up the heat just in time for the summer tour season. “The first album I ever bought was Back To Oakland, the 1974 recording by Tower of Power,” says Koz.

  • RICHARD ELLIOT & PAMELA WILLIAMS Join the Line
    120 W. Main Street, Norfolk, VA 23510 Phone (757) 441-2345 www.festevents.org Media Contact: Erin Barclay [email protected] For Immediate Release 757-441-2345 x 4478 RICHARD ELLIOT & PAMELA WILLIAMS Join the Line-Up at the 33rd Annual Norfolk Waterfront Jazz Festival Hampton Roads’ longest running outdoor Jazz Festival! Norfolk, Virginia (March 23, 2015) –Norfolk Festevents announces National Recording Artist Richard Elliot will appear in concert on Friday, July 17th and Pamela Williams will perform on Saturday, July 18th at the 33rd Annual Norfolk Waterfront Jazz Festival for waterfront performances at Town Point Park, Downtown Norfolk, Virginia. Saxophonist Richard Elliot has arrived at a very special anniversary for blowing audiences away with his soulfully robust playing. 2014 marked 30 years since the release of his debut solo album, Initial Approach (ITI – 1984), on which he stepped out showcasing his tenor sax, soprano sax, Lyricon and writing skills. What does a red-blooded Scottish sax man raised in Los Angeles – now with a wife and five children – do for a 30-year encore? Well, this one-time member of the classic soul band Tower of Power proves he’s “not a young man” and drops the most overtly sensual, romantic and intimate album of his career in collaboration with contemporary jazz production/guitar giant Paul Brown. The title of this 17th solo project is Lip Service (the artist’s first for Heads Up/Concord Music Group). The 10-song Lip Service features seven all new original compositions with teasing titles such as “Sookie Sookie” and “All the Way,” as well as three choice covers of soul and pop hits from the ’80s (“Shining Star” by The Manhattans), the ’90s (“Anytime” by Brian McKnight) and today (“When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars).
