Volume 10, Issue 7 Page 4 Mallet Percussionist, Don Moores began his career as a drummer in the Boston area. In 1961 he moved to New York as a vibraphonist and came under the influence of Randy Weston, the renowned pianist and composer. This tenure with Weston completely altered his musical direction from Jackson/Tjader type stylist to an angular, percussion oriented player with an emphasis on rhythmically thick African, West Indian and Brazilian material. In the mid 60's he returned to Boston to complete his education at the Berklee College of Music. During this period the first Jazz quintet was formed with saxophonist Charles Owens. This group, and its later incarnation with Junior Cook replacing Owens, toured extensively in the Northeast and Canada. Don moved to California in 1970, settling in the Bay Area.

  • Prominent Jazz Celebrations Are a Beautiful Thing by Jon W
    United States Source: Columbia Daily Tribune Retrieved from https://www.columbiatribune.com/story/entertainment/2021/04/17/prominent-jazz- celebrations-beautiful-thinG/7244183002/ on 21 June, 2021 Prominent jazz celebrations are a beautiful thing By Jon W. Poses [Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series on Jazz Appreciation Month. Part One ran April 4.] Writing in this space January 24, I suggested Doug Emhoff, “The Second Gentleman,” surely must be a jazz fan. After all, he and his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, named their son Cole after John Coltrane and their daughter Ella after Ella Fitzgerald. I proposed that, all things being equal, there might be a good chance jazz would return to the White House, having a presence during the Obama Administration before completely disappearing during the following one. Lo and behold, less than three months later, it seems such a development has come to fruition. Emhoff will “provide opening remarks” as part of the upcoming NEA Jazz Masters Tribute Concert, according to a National Endowment for the Arts press release. The concert takes place Thursday, April 22 at 7 p.m. Missouri time in San Francisco, and will air virtually on multiple websites including the NEA’s own arts.gov, where it will also be archived for future viewing. For those of us who appreciate when jazz enjoys enhanced visibility, having Emhoff involved — even if it will likely be briefly — with the prestigious annual NEA Jazz Masters presentation should be taken as a positive. His participation bodes well for the White House, on some level, to be involved in future jazz-related activities.

Atlanta, Georgia A Development of Executive Equities, Inc. St. Si II ons Island A Priceless Work of Art St. Simons Island, nestled on the coast of Georgia, is a cultural environment of amazing natural beauty. Like all creations of worth, man must delicately and tastefully exhibit art treasures for the enjoyment of those lucky enough to appreciate their aesthetic value. And on this island abundant in American history, natural wildlife, and inherent charm, there are two distinctive and elegant year-round resorts, both tastefully enriching the artistic habitat of the island. There's the majestic King and Prince Beach Hotel dating back to the 30's and now elegantly refurbished with antiques, stained glass windows, and bright colors. Add to that superb dining, gracious service, easy entertaining, and one of the most gentle stretches of beach in Georgia and you'll find your special retreat at the King and Prince. For golf and tennis enthusiasts, the Sea Palms Resort is a masterpiece of sporting artistry. A sculptured championship golf course sheltered by liveoaks and bordered by winding waterways and tennis courts nestled among a hedge of island greenery add to the scenic enjoyment of both games. The Sea Palms accommodations range from a room at the Inn, to appealing villas, to elegantly appointed homes. And it's all perfect for families and conventioneers alike. Also, for those who wish to invest in this Georgia island, there are villas, homes, homesites, and other property available for development.
