Eduardo has performed for many notable personalities, including the 14th Dalai Lama, Pope John Paul II, and former South Africa President Nelson Mandela, and he was featured in the PBS American Masters documentary, Paul Simon: Born at the Right Time. In May 2016, Eduardo performed as a guest artist with the jointly sponsored Seattle Symphony-Carnegie Hall project “Link Up: The Orchestra Moves,” exploring the creative process of this passionate composer through melody and motif. A naturalized US citizen, this multi-talented performer graduated in Arts Education and former K-12 High School principal in Brazil, is a much sought after artist-in- residence and master class instructor recommended by the Washington State Arts Commission for lectures, workshops, and school assemblies. Eduardo is CEO, President and Co-Founder for Brazil Center and BrasilFest, Co-Director for Brazil Arts & Education, DBA: Show Brazil!; and the Music Director for iBuildBridges Foundation from Washington D.C. In recognition for the celebration for 20 years of BrasilFest, in 2018 Eduardo was mentioned in proclamation letters from City of Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan; and from Jay Inslee, Washington State Governor. Eduardo Mendonça traces his lineage to a royal African family bearing the hereditary title of Mamabeka ("prophet of the royal court"), as documented by the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia. _____________________________ Please help keep the music going at the Lionel Hampton School of Music at University of Idaho!

Having concentrated on the music of Paul McCartney, Johnny Mercer, and Frank Sinatra over the last two years, Pizzarelli has returned to the bossa nova of Jobim with his 2017 release Sinatra & Jobim @ 50. With co- vocalist Daniel Jobim, grandson of the legendary Brazilian composer, the two explore songs Sinatra and Jobim recorded, as well as add new songs flavoured with the spirit of the classic Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim album. Pizzarelli has toured North America, South America, Asia, and Europe, performing shows centered on Frank Sinatra’s centennial, the songs of Johnny Mercer, and a McCartney program, in which his quartet is joined by strings and a horn section. He also tours on a double bill with pianist Ramsey Lewis. While plenty of jazz greats influenced his work, Nat King Cole has been Pizzarelli’s hero and foundation over the last 25 years.

    Interview No. SAS4.02.02 Mr. Charles P. Harris Interviewer: Elizabeth Schaaf Location: Baltimore, Maryland Date: April 2, 2002 Edited by: Elizabeth Schaaf Q: Were you born here in Baltimore? Harris: No. I was born at Alexandria, Virginia. Q: And how long were you in Alexandria? Harris: I think I was brought here when I was very, very young. In fact, I can’t remember anything about it that much, you know. Q: So you started your music training here in Baltimore? Harris: Oh yes. Q: Who was your first teacher? Harris: Oh, on the violin my first teacher was Lucien Odendh’al. In fact, I was introduced to him by a teacher up at Douglass High School, the music teacher. Q: Is that Mr. [W. Llewellyn] Wilson? Harris: Mr. Wilson, yes. Way back there. It’s been a good little while. Names evade me a little bit now, but I’m doing pretty well. Q: I think so. Mr. Wilson I think taught everybody who is anybody. Harris: That’s right. In the music field, yes. He was very, very, very good. He started me off, and I worked with him for a year, a year and a half, and he said, I can’t go any further with you. I will have to get a teacher. And so he got in touch with Lucien Odendh’al, and he started to teach me. And he was a very nice man to go to. Q: How did you and the bass get to be a pair? Harris: Well, in high school, in those days, they didn’t have too many musicians that played the bass and what not.

  • Vision of USC for 2018 T&F Guide.Indd
    WWelcomeelcome ttoo TTroy...roy... Did You Know? · The USC School of Cinema c Arts (above) was proud to both celebrate its 80th anniversary during the 2009-10 academic year, and open the doors on the fi rst two buildings in its new Cinema c Arts complex, which pays homage to the cinema c history of Southern California and USC. The new Cinema c Arts complex was built, thanks to a $175 million dona on by USC alumnus George Lucas. The now-completed complex includes an anima on building, soundstages and a produc on center. In February 2010, the Princeton Review ranked USC's Interac ve Media division as the No. 1 video-game design program in North America. Game design formally got its start at USC in 2002, when the USC School of Cinema c Arts launched its MFA in interac ve media, although a core game-design workshop had been in place since 1999. In 2004, the school unveiled the Game Innova on Lab, a state-of-the-art research space and think tank for game design and crea on. A B.A. in interac ve entertainment was fi rst off ered in 2005. Today, USC off ers four degrees in video-game development at the undergraduate and graduate levels. For the game-play design-focused, the USC School of Cinema c Arts off ers the Master of Fine Arts in interac ve media and the Bachelor of Arts in interac ve entertainment. For the more engineering-oriented, the USC Viterbi School off ers the Bachelor of Science in computer science (games) and the Master of Science in computer science (game development).

  • Bio the Clayton Brothers John and Jeff Clayton Prove Conclusively, That
    Bio The Clayton Brothers John and Jeff Clayton prove conclusively, that while blood may be thicker than water, it can also carry an unimpeded flow of pure creativity. The Clayton Brothers Quartet was originally founded in 1977, and while their paths would sometimes diverge, the brothers continued to share a common musical vision that would draw them back together. Their latest CD, Back In The Swing of Things (Hyena) demonstrates their unique musical vision and swing. That CD as well as Expressions and Siblingity (Qwest) are bristling with surprises, delights and the kind of musical telepathy that could only come from tuned in siblings. The brothers place a strong emphasis on sharing what it is they know. They are dedicated jazz educators. In the fall 2004, The Clayton Brothers were featured on the cover of JazzTimes' Education Resource Guide, naming them jazz educators for the year. John Clayton served as the Artistic Director of Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic from 1998 through 2001. A seven time Grammy nominated artist, John gained prominence as a bassist in both the jazz and classical fields. His serious study of the double bass began at age 16 under the tutelage of Ray Brown. He held the principal bass chair in the Amsterdam Philharmonic Orchestra for more than five years. He is a composer/arranger/conductor, who counts among his mentors Robert Farnon, Count Basie, Johnny Mandel, Henry Mancini, and Quincy Jones. He has written and arranged music for Milt Jackson, Nancy Wilson, Ray Brown, Regina Carter, McCoy Tyner, Carmen McRae, Quincy Jones, Diana Krall, Kurt Elling Dee Dee Bridgewater (including her Grammy award winning CD, Dear Ella (Verve), Gladys Knight, Natalie Cole, and many others.
