Simpson to the newly-created position of Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at the college. At Berklee, Simpson will lead and oversee the academic initiatives of the college, in- cluding curriculum, faculty, and all areas directly related to teaching and learning.

Simpson “Dr. Simpson is an experienced academic leader, a cultural activist, and a builder of community, who has also helped to cre- ate one of the great American jazz festivals,” said Brown. “Berklee has known Tri-C for many years through our ar- ticulation agreement with them, their excellent Jazz Stud- ies Program, and the jazz festival, so we know the commit- ment to quality Larry engenders in an institution.” “Being at Berklee will allow me to combine my twin passions: higher education and music,” said Dr. Simpson. “I’m thrilled, and feel quite privileged to have this oppor- tunity.” Simpson has written and photographed for Down Beat, JazzTimes, and the Jazz Education Journal, and since 1993 has served on a variety of panels for the National Endow- ment for the Arts.

  • Steve Smith Biography 2020 Steve Smith's Drumming, While Always
    Steve Smith Biography 2020 Steve Smith's drumming, while always decidedly modern, can best be described as a style that embodies the history of U.S. music. Originally drawn to the drums by hearing marching bands in parades as a child in his native Massachusetts, Smith began studying the drums at age nine, in 1963. After high school, Smith studied in Boston at the Berklee College of Music from 1972-76, where he had private lessons with both Gary Chaffee and Alan Dawson. His original love of rudimental parade band drumming is evident in his intricate solos. Likewise, his command of jazz, from New Orleans music, swing, big band, bebop, avant-garde to fusion, plus his rock drumming sensibilities and knowledge of rhythms from India allow him to push the boundaries of all styles to new heights. In 1976, Smith began his association with jazz-fusion by joining violinist Jean-Luc Ponty's group and recording the 1977 landmark fusion album Enigmatic Ocean. It was while touring with rocker Ronnie Montrose a year later that Smith was asked to join the popular rock band Journey which brought his playing to the attention of a rock audience. With Journey, Smith toured the world and recorded numerous successful albums including the immensely popular Escape (which includes the ubiquitous hit song “Don’t Stop Believin’”) and Frontiers, both of which garnered the band many Top 40 hits. Journey’s albums have sold in excess of 75 million copies worldwide to date. In 1985 Smith left Journey to pursue his original passion, jazz, and to continue his developing career as a session player, bandleader and educator.

  • Steve Augeri
    STEVE AUGERI Steve Augeri is an American rock singer best known for his work with Tall Stories, Tyketto, and Journey.[1] Career Drawing from a range of diverse musical influences to deliver a unique and personal take on the genre of melodic rock, Steve Augeri is an American rock singer best known as the lead vocalist for the rock group Journey from 1998 to 2006. Augeri recorded three albums during a successful eight-year tenure with the group that brought one of the world’s most accomplished rock groups back to the stage to perform for their millions of fans worldwide. He attributes his love and inspiration of music to his father, Joseph, and their many years of listening to Sinatra, R&B, Soul, and Country music on their Emerson clock radio. His grammar school music teacher, Fredrick Torregrossa, also had a direct influence by encouraging Augeri to develop and improve upon the potential of his voice and by casting him to sing Puccini’s "La Donna Mobile" in the school’s 4th grade musical. Initially studying woodwinds at New York City’s High School of Music and Art, Augeri switched to bassoon and soon discovered his love for classical music.[3] Attending, and then teaching at, French Woods Festival for the Performing Arts summer camp, he supervised children from ages 6–16 for their Rock Band classes which as he states, was surely the original “School of Rock.” When Augeri’s tuition check for college bounced, he returned home to start a rock and roll band. Working as a session vocalist, as well as bartending and waiting tables, it was not until 1984 when Augeri received his first break and was hired as background vocalist for one of the world’s most renowned hard rock guitarists, Michael Schenker of UFO and Scorpions fame.

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.
