Event
on 12/15/2012:
The ShinSings Orchestra returns to Jazz Central to perform a concert for
the Gabriel Foundation to raise money to obtain musical instruments for
youth in our area. Steve Shininger (who sounds more like Frank Sinatra than
anybody I’ve heard) and the ShinSings Orchestra performed at Jazz Central
last January and at the last two Urban Nights for the Dayton Metro Library,
where Mark Willis told me these were the best Urban Night events ever. It
has come to my attention that this wonderful group will not be with us much
longer as Steve’s wife is being transferred by the Airforce, so come out and
enjoy while you can. The show runs from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm in Dayton’s
authentic jazz club. There will be door prizes; free parking and pizza by
the slice will be available. |

Editor’s
Ramblings:
I need some help in this promoting jazz thing; I’m having a time trying
to keep up. One thing I’ve meaning to send out for some time is a
request in update information on our venue’s list, which is just below
the jazz calendar on our website’s home page. We try to offer venue
information for each event on the calendar so folks can get an idea of
how to get to the event they may be interested in seeing. Over time I’m
sure some of these venues may not have jazz anymore or even be in
existence. So if you are aware of this being the case, please send me an
email so I can remove them. This could also apply to our jazz artist
registry. Another item I could use some help on is posting events on our
local jazz calendar. I need some volunteers that would be willing to
spend maybe an hour week adding event information from online postings
from a link or two that I would supply into an Excel spreadsheet, which
I would also supply and returning it to me so I can paste into our
website calendar. If we divide this project among a few people, who
would be willing, the time required for each would be small. Anyone
interested please contact me at rgable1@gmail.com. |

Who is Taylor Moore? |
I have seen this young lady perform twice recently at Jazz Central and
was so impressed I decided to showcase her in this month’s Gabriel
Foundation benefit concert this Saturday, November 10th.
While in kindergarten, she entered an Afro-centric
after school program that offered the rhythms that had always been a
part of her. Over the years, Taylor honed her skills playing classical
music pieces as a member of the Kenwood Academy H. S. Concert and
Marching bands. Her classical music training also included playing with
the Protégé Philharmonic and the All-City Concert Band in Chicago,
Illinois.
A lover of all kinds of music, this talented young lady
branched out into jazz in her sophomore year, playing with the Kenwood
Jazz Band and the Jazz Links Ensemble. Taylor was identified as a gifted
percussionist and was a scholar in the Ravinia Jazz Scholars program in
the Chicago Public School system.
This percussion phenomenon recently made her debut at The Jazz Showcase
in Chicago, a premier venue which has featured such jazz luminaries as
Art Blakey, James Moody and Charlie Parker, among many. Taylor one of
the youngest headliners ever at the club and one of the city’s most
sought-after musicians also performed at this year’s Hyde Park Jazz
Festival.
Taylor Moore has played with a multitude of great
musicians like percussionist Shelia E., singer Patrice Rushen,
world-class drummer Ndugu Chancler, jazz pianists Willie Pickens, Ken
Chaney and Robert “Baabe” Irving III, gospel greats Andrae Crouch and
Sandra Crouch, jazz singers Kurt Elling and Maggie Brown, legendary jazz
organist Rueben Wilson, and blues guitarist Clarence Spadey. She has
also been mentored by music legends such as world renowned
percussionist/drummer, Steve Berrios and Grammy Award-Winning vocalist,
Cassandra Wilson, just to name a few.
A college graduate, Taylor received her Bachelor’s
Degree in Music Performance (Jazz Drumset) and Production from
theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on May 15, 2011.
The rhythm that attracted Taylor Moore from infancy has
become an integral part of her life. Her drumming has been called
“crisp, passion-filled, expressive and all consuming.” |

Hello Lou's Friends & Family,
I am going to be working on a book of memories for Lou's 70th birthday
which is November 21st. I was hoping that I could ask for some emails
from his friends and family of a good memory you have of him. I would
love photos also if possible. It is a secret, so if we could keep it
between just us. I am the only one to check this email so it should be
okay. If you want to mail me anything my address is:
Pamela Moore
8329 Leisure Drive
Centerville, OH 45458
#937.572.9949
Thank you so much for your help,
Pamela |
