Council Corner 2017 Winter Edition Council Corner BERKS JAZZ FESTIVAL The 27th annual Boscov's Berks Jazz Fest as presented by Berks Arts Council March 31 through April 9 has a definite downtown Reading focus. Indeed, there is no finer place to be than downtown during the festival. There are 38 major concerts scheduled for downtown -- 29 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Reading, six at the Miller Center for the Arts and three at the Santander Performing Arts Center. As always, the Berks Jazz Fest is epic in scope and talent -- with a whole constellation of stars performing in a multiplicity of concerts at venues large and small encompassing contemporary jazz, urban jazz, straight-ahead jazz, blues, funk, R&B, gospel, sounds that meld genres, and unique concerts produced especially for the festival. The Boscov’s Berks Jazz Fest is recognized as one of the largest and most diverse music festivals of its kind in the country. Since 1991, the festival has been an important part of the Greater Reading’s community revitalization efforts as both an economic and cultural catalyst for positive change. The 10-day festival’s economic impact on the Berks County commu- nity is estimated to be between $8 and $10 million. The festival attracts over 45,000 fans representing 30-plus states and several foreign countries. The DoubleTree is the epicenter of Jazz Fest concerts. Thirteen of the 29 events there will be at the SOUTH Jazz Parlor at Berks, which will be housed in the ballroom and share the same ambience as the iconic SOUTH Kitchen & Jazz Parlor in Philadelphia, recognized as one of the 50 Best Jazz Clubs in America. Performing at the SOUTH Jazz Parlor at Berks are the Dr. Lonnie Smith Trio featuring Jonathan Kreisberg and Johnathan Blake (Smith is a 2017 NEA Jazz Master and one of the premier purveyors of funk/soul jazz); Mike Eben’s From the Hip Non- et; the Pat Martino Organ Trio with Horns featuring Pat Bianchi, Carmen Intorre, Adam Niewood, and Alex Norris; Eric Marien- thal; Frank DiBussolo’s Philly Reunion Band; the Jeff Hamilton Trio; the Anat Cohen Quartet; the Avalon Jazz Band plus Hot Club of Reading; and Rick Braun: The Music of Chet Baker. Other signature shows at the DoubleTree are The New Urban Jazz Party featuring Bob Baldwin, Walter Beasley, Marion Meadows and Tom Browne; Nick Colionne with Eric Darius and Adam Hawley; funk legend of Sly & the Family Stone fame Larry Graham and Graham Central Station; Jazz Gets the Blues -- a true jazz and blues mix blending blues classics with burning chops, funky grooves and high-energy performance staged exclusively for the Berks Jazz Fest and featuring Clarence Spady, Alexis P Suter, Steve Cole, Nick Colionne, Eric Darius, Pat Bianchi, Vicki Bell and the Berks Horns (Mike Anderson, Rob Diener and John Loos); the NYPD Jazz Band; the can't-miss Berks All-Star Jazz Jam with a medley of marquee artists; the West Coast Jam with Rick Braun, Norman Brown and Richard Elliot; Everette Harp & Friends featuring Chante Moore, Phil Perry, Brian Bromberg, Brian Simpson, Rayford Griffin and Dwight Sills; and multiple Grammy-winning multi-instrumentalist Marcus Miller. Downtown Reading has the Opening Night Celebration with R&B superstar saxophonist Gerald Albright, Grammy Award- winning vocalist Patti Austin and revered guitarist/vocalist Jonathan Butler starring in an exceptional concert produced specifi- cally for the Berks Jazz Fest on Friday, March 31, at 7:30 p.m. at the Santander Performing Arts Center.

  • 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.

  • Funk Is Its Own Reward": an Analysis of Selected Lyrics In
    ABSTRACT AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES LACY, TRAVIS K. B.A. CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY DOMINGUEZ HILLS, 2000 "FUNK IS ITS OWN REWARD": AN ANALYSIS OF SELECTED LYRICS IN POPULAR FUNK MUSIC OF THE 1970s Advisor: Professor Daniel 0. Black Thesis dated July 2008 This research examined popular funk music as the social and political voice of African Americans during the era of the seventies. The objective of this research was to reveal the messages found in the lyrics as they commented on the climate of the times for African Americans of that era. A content analysis method was used to study the lyrics of popular funk music. This method allowed the researcher to scrutinize the lyrics in the context of their creation. When theories on the black vernacular and its historical roles found in African-American literature and music respectively were used in tandem with content analysis, it brought to light the voice of popular funk music of the seventies. This research will be useful in terms of using popular funk music as a tool to research the history of African Americans from the seventies to the present. The research herein concludes that popular funk music lyrics espoused the sentiments of the African-American community as it utilized a culturally familiar vernacular and prose to express the evolving sociopolitical themes amid the changing conditions of the seventies era.
