Adrienne Nims’s passionate energy and dazzling musicianship as a solo artist and with her talented bands create an inspiring and unforgettable entertainment experience. Her dynamic, sensual voice on the saxophones, flutes and many more global indigenous instruments express not only a vast array of musical culture and style but, the magic and mystery of life. Adrienne performs contemporary, Latin and classic jazz infused with irresistible grooves as well as elegant, ethereal melodies which have both moved audiences throughout San Diego. Adrienne was born in Colorado, raised in New England, started playing piano at the age of five, and quickly moved on to flute and then saxophone upon hearing her musician grandfather blow his horn. Her most intensive musical studies began with professors from the University of Massachusetts, Michigan U., New England Conservatory and Boston Symphony Orchestra, while performing in New England Conservatory ensembles as a teenager. She continued her studies at Ithaca College in New York where she was featured as a guest artist in numerous Cornell University faculty concerts focusing primarily on jazz, electronic and international music. Adrienne’s passion for performance continues with her leading the Adrienne Nims Band and Spirit Wind. She also performs with several other San Diego based groups. Her band Spirit Wind, featuring Adrienne on soprano, alto, tenor saxes, traditional flutes as well as Native American, Indian, African and Asian flutes and percussion, playing contemporary jazz and global music. Her extraordinary versatility ranging from classical, jazz, Latin, funky rhythm and blues to Celtic and middle eastern showcase her love and interest in the many kinds of music, which link us together! Adrienne Nims draws musical inspiration from every curve of the globe as well as the immense and infinite music of nature and from the individual and collective talent, spirit, and emotion of the musicians with whom she plays. In this performance, JR Betts will join Nims on the keyboard. Betts, is a keyboardist and

Martha’s Senior Portrait Julian High School - 1965
Martha as a full time teacher Julian High School - 1974 him from the lesson at hand. Craig Pierson spoke of his being a little intimidated upon arrival at Julian, but quickly learning that Martha was the grease for the skids and the glue that held the campus together. Tim White mentioned that someway Martha always knew where her was as a student, an if he was doing something he shouldn’t be, a trait he would come to appreciate upon his return as Math teacher and Athletic Director. Martha Masch could be called an institution, a task master, a dedicated educator, a woman who always was watching out for the school it’s students and what they could achieve. Most of all, those who knew her called her friend. She will be missed, but never forgotten.
