“Empowering, Enlightening & Educating through the Arts”

Dear Friends of the Auntie Karen: Once again we are in the Koger Center for the 8th Annual Legends Of…Concert Series.

Fortunately, we have been blessed to have your support and presence again this year.

We welcome each of you with thankful hearts for your interest, contributions and encouragement in helping us to continue to keep the arts alive in Columbia, South Carolina.

The planning and preparation of this event have been both exciting and challenging.

The excitement was often seen in the eyes of the individuals when we shared who our featured artist was for this year. The excitement also came in the sound of voices and expressions of happiness for the choice of Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. The challenges came with the tough economic times that are very different than what we have experienced in the past; yet, through our faith, we are here to celebrate and have much fun.

As co-chairs, we are most grateful to the Auntie Karen Foundation Board of Directors for their commitment and support for this event. Our sponsors keep us anchored with their financial contributions and other services. The volunteers provide unparallel talents, skills and services to the work involved in brining this night forth. You, the patrons and participants, filled the air with joy and appreciation for the wonders of Jazz.

We thank each individual and group enormously.

Tonight belongs to you. Bask in the atmosphere of the great entertainment that will be performing solely for you. Enjoy!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Sarah Watson and Hope Jeffcoat, Legends Of…2011 Co-Chairs

Background/Summary The Auntie Karen Foundation welcomes you to our eighth annual Legends Of...

Concert Series. In 2004, our inaugural event featured Roberta Flack in concert with special guest, The Capital City Chorale. In 2005, we presented Jazz Legend, Dianne Reeves with special guest, The Auntie Karen All Stars, South Carolina’s Finest Musical Talent. Patrons are still raving about Al Jarreau (2006) and Patti Austin (2007). In 2008, we welcomed The Joe Sample Trio and Take 6. While in 2009, we showcased funk Legend, George Duke and jazz vocalist, Rachelle Ferrell. 2010 brought us the singer/songwriter duo, Ashford & Simpson. Tonight we welcome 10 time Grammy Award winner, singer, songwriter, producer, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds.

The Auntie Karen Foundation created the Legends of...Concert Series to pay tribute to the contributions African American music has made to history. Each year during Black History Month, the series proles a jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel or blues artist who has made a lasting contribution to the history of music. The series places a special emphasis on Jazz Legends. In addition, we have extended our series to include “Legends of...In the Schools”.

“Legends of...In the Schools” is a series of art events designed to salute African American Heritage. Events include: Folk Art, Quilting, Dance, Spoken Word, Written Word and Music. Through a partnership with The Columbia Museum of Art, on the last Saturday in January 2011, we will feature some of the best local and regional artists at no cost to the public.

Board of Directors Karen Alexander, President Dr. Phyllis Sanders, Vice-President Dr. Norma Jackson Janet Johnson-Whipple Gwen Jordan Linda Wilson Tony Wise Claudia Goodson Shirley Mack Tonight’s performance is dedicated to the memory of Mary Louise Graham, the mother of Karen Alexander, Auntie Karen Founder.

The Auntie Karen Foundation relies on community support from you to help us further our mission.

We would kindly accept your tax deductible gifts.

Auntie Karen® Foundation

The Auntie Karen Foundation is a global, nonprofit, 501(c) 3 charitable corporation certified by the state of South Carolina on October 31, 2001. The foundation’s mission is to create and implement a series of reproducible community outreach programs designed to empower, enlighten and educate through the arts.

Auntie Karen Foundation’s programs have benefited youth from the age of three to twenty two. These pilot programs include participants from area schools, churches, and community organizations. Foundation programs are documented so that other communities across the globe can duplicate them.

Programs include: Annual Young Entrepreneur’s Conference For the eighth year, this innovative conference held on the campus of Benedict College has brought together youth (ages seven to twenty two) from across the region to foster economic empowerment. Each year, ten young entrepreneurs under the age of twenty five are featured.

Auntie Karen’ s Place TV Pilot: Auntie Karen’s Place The Auntie Karen Foundation partnered with SC ETV and Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital to produce a 30-minute DVD that uses puppets and music to provide a simple way to explain life skills such as: health, emergency preparedness, jazz music and financial literary. The Foundation received a grant from the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Columbia and SC Competitive Grants program.

Artpreneur/Technopreneur Classes The purpose of the Artpreneur/Technopreneur classes is to “inspire a new generation of business leaders through arts and technology”. Classes include: visual art, dance, creative cooking, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, spoken word and etiquette. The Auntie Karen Foundation’s Artpreneur pilot program started in 2003.

Hugs From Carolina The Auntie Karen Foundation partnered with Auntie Karen Inc. and City Light Inc. to create Hugs From Carolina. Hugs From Carolina, a division of Hugs Around The World, has Olivia The Octopus spreading hugs to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. The program was launched in Biloxi, Mississippi on October 14, 2005. Children were given an adoption kit which included: an Olivia The Octopus Handpuppet and the book “Olivia Gave A Hug Today”.

Legends of...(A Salute to Black History) The Auntie Karen Foundation pays tribute to the contributions of African Americans with the Legends of...Programs. Each year, the celebration includes: Black History Program with The Columbia Museum of Art, The Legends of...Master Class with CSAM (Center for Southern African American Music at USC) and The Legends of...Concert (Koger Center) Auntie Karen’s character Olivia The Octopus is an International Jazz Diva.

Kenny “Babyface”Edmonds If you were to closely examine the annals of modern pop music history, few creative forces have been more seminal or impacted the contemporary pop/urban genres as much as Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds. In a relatively short time, he has reached icon status as a poignant tunesmith, prolific hit maker/producer, superstar recording artist, and revolutionary label owner. He is a statistical juggernaut, who keeps adding milestone after milestone to a legacy that seems to have no threshold or peak in sight.

over 500 million units worldwide.

A 10-time Grammy winner with 11 solo albums of his own, Edmonds’ impeccably crafted explorations of love, romance and relationships have made an indelible imprint on the evolution of contemporary pop music throughout the world: over 125 Top-10 R&B and Pop hits, 42 #1’s R&B hits, and 51 Top-10 Pop hits (including 16 #1’s), which have produced single and album sales in excess of

Just a few of the vocalists from which his music can be heard: Whitey Houston, Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Eric Clapton, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, TLC, Toni Braxton, Celine Dion, John Mellencamp, Brandy, Aretha Franklin, Fall Out Boy, Pink, Charlie Wilson, Chrisette Michele.

He is the recipient of numerous awards, including Soul Train Music Awards, BMI Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and American Music Awards. Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds was the recipient of the third BET Walk of Fame Award (previous honorees were Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston), and was named BET’s “Entertainer of the Year” at the First Annual BET Awards Ceremony. He will receive a star on Hollywood’s legendary Walk of Fame in Feb. 2011.

Edmonds’ charitable work is as impressive as his professional accomplishments. His caring and generosity have garnered him several awards, including the Essence Award for Excellence, The City of Hope Award, and Variety Magazine’s “Top of the Town” Honoree Award. He was National Spokesman for Boarder Babies, and personally helped raise over $500,000 for a transitional home, The Little Blue House, located in Washington D.C. Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds has also personally donated over $100,000 to the VH-1 Save the Music program. He continues to contribute to a host of other worthwhile organizations, including the United Negro College Fund (UNCF).

In 2008, Kenny Edmonds combined his musical prowess with his charitable efforts, co- writing and producing the song “Just Stand Up” with longtime partner Antonio “L.A.” Reid, which served as the backbone of a multi-network breast cancer awareness special. The song featured such current heavyweights as Beyonce, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Leona Lewis, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus and Sheryl Crow. Most recently, Edmonds and Reid were honored by the Noble Awards for their contribution to Stand Up To Cancer.

Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds also launched his new Soda Pop Records imprint through Island Def Jam in 2009, with its first release by Kristinia DeBarge. Kenny is currently in the studio working on new material for his next solo album, due for release in 2011.

Keyboard, Superior Edwards

Superior Edwards started playing piano when he was eight years old. He was brought up in a lineage of great musicians from his father and mothers side and was named Superior by his father as a self fulfilling prophecy. He started playing in church and by age 12 he was the minister of music for the youth department of Pilgrim Baptist Church. By the age of 16 he was touring around the world with well known artists like Father MC, Jodeci, Brandy, and Mary J. Bilge. Superior has gone on to share the stage with such greats as The Drifters, Nelly, Mariah Carey, Donnie McClurkin, Al Jerreau, Will Downing, Rev. Timothy Wright, the Winans family, and many other well known names in both R&B, gospel, and jazz. Superior now owns and is executive producer of S.I.N.G. Productions label and studio. His solo album “Cole” will debut in February 2011.

Vocalist, John Hobbs

John Hobbs was born in Miami, Florida, but left for Augusta, Georgia at age 6, where he was raised by his grandparents. At age 15, Hobbs gave his life to Christ and was called to minister. He was licensed at the Augusta Deliverance Evangelistic Church, where he spent 20 years under the tutorage of his spiritual father. Pastor Roy Myles. Along with his music, Hobbs has about 27 years of pulpit ministry, preaching and teaching. Hobbs has a rich baritone voice with first tenor range. He is a self-contained performer who plays guitar and piano. His music styling is from A to Z. While his music is deeply rooted in gospel, it is inspired by jazz, pop and adult contemporary music - from traditional to classical. His sound lids been compared to Donny McClurkin and Bebe Winans. This singer, songwriter captures the essence of his love for God and music in the songs he writes. His songs make you fall in love. Later in his music career he was invited to sing at the Southern Baptist Convention with Pastor Jerry Falwell and for Motivational Speaker and Pastor, Bill Maxwell. He has opened for gospel singers such as: Phil and Brenda Nicholas, Babbie Mason, and the Winans.

Hobbs continues to make Augusta home and regularly makes guest appearances on a local gospel television show, Club 36, on the Watchman Broadcast. Though Hobbs is tucked away in the rural comfort and tranquility of Augusta, Georgia, he travels often to share the voice, the music and the man with audiences that still appreciate awesome music.

Guitarist, Rodrick “Rod” King

Born in Columbia, SC, Rodrick (or Rod as friends know him) started with music around the age of eleven. The alto saxophone was his firs instrument, but he quickly grew to love the bass guitar after a year. The high school group, Brothers of Soul, out of Manning, SC, was Rod’s introduction to performance and rhythm in a stage setting. Through this spell of life, he has played for weddings, banquets, churches and has learned the value of playing with others and having an ear for music.

After completing college, Rod moved to Columbia, SC in 2009 where he currently has been playing for the Tailor Made Band, H2flo Band, and has played for the Drifters, Finesse Band and the Terence Young Experience. He has also produced the music to Dante Lewis’ (national recording saxophonist) album title track “Set the Mood.”

Rod has been blessed to perform on the same stage as Marvin Sapp, Jonathan Nelson, Anthony Hamilton, Durrough, and has played on stages such as the Bi-Lo Center, Greenville, SC, Finlay Park, Columbia, SC, Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, NY, NY, Maiden Chapel Baptist Church, Maiden, NC, WLTX News, Columbia, SC and Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), Decatur, GA to name a few.

Saxophonist, Jesse “J.J.” Hinnant

Born in Chester, SC September 29th, 1983 came a musician of different character and fortitude. Unlimited by the confines of genre, J.J. reaches the audience and makes them his by playing from a special place in the soul.

His ultimate goal is to convey, intimately, his feelings through music and have everyone feel and understand.

At the early age of three, J.J. began to show interest in playing music as he watched in his father play the saxophone. Piano is his first learned instrument among many. He will be seen playing piano on Bobby Jones Gospel within a short period of time.

As a young and aspiring saxophonist J.J. earned 0ver 150 awards and accolades before graduating high school in 2001. J.J then decided he would hone in on professionalism by playing saxophone in the U.S. Army. J.J. is well traveled; as he started to play abroad at the age of fifteen. Countries toured include: Great Britain, Belgium, Holland, France, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Mexico. He is also no stranger to the open seas as he is often employed by various cruise lines to play professionally. Whether the music be Jazz, Gospel, Latin, or blues, J.J.’s mission is to reach and then move you…and he will.

A healthy community is more than just healthy people.

It’s embracing the arts.

That’s why we value the arts and its ability to speak to us in so many ways. It’s how poetry or a painting moves us. It’s when a performance makes us think and feel, and most importantly, connect with each other.

Building healthy communities.

It’s the business we’re in.
