  • Mose Davis Public Relations Information
    Mose Davis Public Relations Information “My name is Mose…and you can call me Mose” – Mose Davis That quote from Mose Davis can be heard on Hamilton Bohannon’s hit record “Let’s Start the Dance”. The tune is a smoking-hot club classic. And the quote cuts through the clutter and camouflage of funk wannabes, to reveal a pure fact – Mose is Mose. Before Stevie Wonder, before Bernie Worrell, there was Mose Davis pushing the frontiers of funk with his use of the organ as the source of the bass line, during the late 1960’s. And if imitation is the highest form of flattery, then Mose Davis has been flattered by the best. And some of the biggest names in hip-hop have sampled a sip of Mose’s musical brew, including Snoop, Mary J. Blige and Queen Latifah. Classically trained at the Detroit Conservatory of Music, Mose Davis is an exceptional jazz artist and prominent fixture on the Atlanta music scene. Davis identifies jazz greats, Jimmy Smith and Ahmad Jamal among his musical influences. Davis performs with top acts across the country and internationally. Mose Davis has performed with Candi Staton, The Isley Brothers, Marlena Shaw, David Ruffin, Ray Parker, Jr., The Counts, Funkadelics and Carl Anderson. His festival appearances include The Atlanta Jazz Festival (with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra), The Macon Jazz Festival and the internationally renowned Spoleto Festival. And now comes the new CD, “Sunshine”. “It’s a mix of jazz – the rough and the smooth – blended with some Latin and rock influences,” Davis says.

    Sounds Like Home: Immigrant Musicians on the New York Jazz Scene By Ofer Gazit A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Benjamin Brinner, Chair Professor Jocelyne Guilbault Professor George Lewis Professor Scott Saul Summer 2016 Abstract Sounds Like Home: Immigrant Musicians On the New York Jazz Scene By Ofer Gazit Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Benjamin Brinner, Chair At a time of mass migration and growing xenophobia, what can we learn about the reception, incorporation, and alienation of immigrants in American society from listening to the ways they perform jazz, the ‘national music’ of their new host country? Ethnographies of contemporary migrations emphasize the palpable presence of national borders and social boundaries in the everyday life of immigrants. Ethnomusicological literature on migrant and border musics has focused primarily on the role of music in evoking a sense of home and expressing group identity and solidarity in the face of assimilation. In jazz scholarship, the articulation and crossing of genre boundaries has been tied to jazz as a symbol of national cultural identity, both in the U.S and in jazz scenes around the world. While these works cover important aspects of the relationship between nationalism, immigration and music, the role of jazz in facilitating the crossing of national borders and blurring social boundaries between immigrant and native-born musicians in the U.S. has received relatively little attention to date.

  • Bc Salsa: Identity,Musicianshipand Performance in Vancouver’Safro-Latinorchestras
    BC SALSA: IDENTITY, MUSICIANSHIP AND PERFORMANCE IN VANCOUVER’S AFRO-LATIN ORCHESTRAS by MALCOLM Al KEN B.Mus., The University of British Columbia, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2009 © Malcolm Aiken, 2009 11 ABSTRACT For over twenty-five years, musicians, dancers and singers of Afro-Latin music have maintained an active presence in the culturally diverse music scene of Vancouver, BC. During this time, the music performed and created by this group of artists has undergone dynamic changes in sound and function, reflecting a new transcultural music identity. This music, commonly referred to as salsa, is being created, performed and transformed by musicians of all backgrounds and social classes. Local composers are incorporating a variety of musical influences into their music and assimilating elements of the city’s music cultures. Today, an eclectic mix of musicians in Vancouver are creating new forms of music rooted in the Afro-Latin music traditions, and are establishing a unique contemporary musical scene. At the forefront of salsa’s local history are the Afro-Latin dance bands prominent in the city’s dance community. Their impact on the musicians and local music culture has been paramount and pivotal to the exposure of salsa to a mainstream Canadian audience. One prominent factor in the continued growth of the music has been the influence of the many non—Latino musicians who have assimilated into the salsa community as performers. Their musical and cultural influences have helped push the music in new directions and maintained the music’s relevance within the wider arts community.

  • Whitepine Entertainment, LLC 18180 Elmwood Drive Alva FL 33920
    THE SPINNERS Most often thought of as a Motown recording act, the classic group sound of legendary R&B recording artists, The Spinners has never lost its universal appeal. Throughout the years they have sold millions of records and topped both the Pop and R&B charts with smash hits like “I’ll Be Around” and “Then Came You.” Today, original member Henry Fambrough is joined onstage by Jessie Peck, Marvin Taylor, Ronnie Moss, and CJ Jefferson; a soul-infused 4-piece band, led by Keith Ferguson, backs them up. After a brief time at Motown Records, The Spinners signed with Atlantic Records and teamed up with producer Thom Bell in 1972, setting into motion an amazing recording career. The Spinners charted five top ten singles from their first Motown album Spinners in 1972 and went on to become one of the biggest soul groups of the 1970s. A partial list of their hit singles on Atlantic include “Mighty Love,” “Then Came You,” “I’ll Be Around,” “One Of A Kind (Love Affair),” “Games People Play,” and “Could It Be.” In 1979, The Spinners completed their first collaboration with producer Michael Zager, and by early 1980, the single, “Working My Way Back to You,” was topping Pop and R&B charts giving the group its 12th gold record. The Love Trippin’ album’s release included “The Cupid Medley,” one of the fastest selling records in The Spinners’ career. The follow-up album, Labor of Love, featured such stand-out tunes as “Yesterday Once More,” and “Long Live Soul Music.” With the release of “Can’t Shake This Feeling,” their fourth LP in just over two years, the quintet entered a new phase of their remarkable career as they joined the award winning producing/writing/ playing team of James Mtume and Reggie Lucas.

  • A Kirby Family Record Some Descendants of John Terrell Kirby and Some Ancestry of Associated Families-Bohannon, Haynie, Lipscomb, Posey, Terrell, and Wilkins
    A Kirby Family Record Some descendants of John Terrell Kirby and some ancestry of associated families-Bohannon, Haynie, Lipscomb, Posey, Terrell, and Wilkins Compiled by Terrell Marshall Sr. 2/26/2015 A Kirby Family Record – 2 Compiler’s Note The within Kirby Family Record was prepared by Terrell Marshall Sr. through correspondence with members of the family, and completed in 1953. It begins with the grandparents of John Terrell Kirby and Lavana Bohannon and continues through the fifth generation. Only descendants in a direct line from John Terrell Kirby are shown and the arrangement shows all descendants of each of his children. The second section contains ancestral data as to the Bohannon, Haynie, Lipscomb, Posey, Terrell, and Wilkins families as provided by my grandmother, May Kirby Thomas. A Kirby Family Record – 3 Editor’s Note My grandfather (Terrell Marshall Sr.) spent many hours gathering data, corresponding with relatives, and compiling the genealogical information that his grandmother (hereinafter referred to as MKT) had accumulated over the years. My grandfather, a lawyer, was a very methodical person and my belief is that the information he has gathered about current generations (i.e. current in the 1920s to 1950s) is quite accurate. Some of the ancestry information is suspect (and I have tried to comment on that so as not to have the reader take away any false impressions as to its accuracy). This information may provide no new information to the reader, but I felt I owed it to my grandfather to put this information in the public domain. I have tried to add some dates to persons who may have died since he originally “completed” this information, but was not able to find the information (or the time) to do it for everyone.
