SUMMARY:Athletics and Activisms – The Journey of a 1968 Olympic Medalist
DESCRIPTION:Just in time for the 2024 Summer Olympics\, Dayton Metro Library will host Athletics and Activisms – The Journey of a 1968 Olympic Medalist (with John Carlos) as part of its Social Justice Speaker Series. Athletics and Activisms will be held on Thursday\, August 1\, in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum\, from 6-7:30 pm. \n  \nDuring the 1968 Olympic Trials\, John Carols beat Tommie Smith’s world record in the 200-meter final by .03 seconds. However\, due to Carlos’s spike formation on his shoes\, the record was never ratified. Carlos would still go on to win a bronze medal in the Mexico City Olympic games. During the ceremony\, Carlos stood beside Smith\, a black-gloved fist raised in the air and shoes removed\, proclaiming his support for racial equality during the Civil Rights Movement. \n  \nJoin John Carlos as he reflects on how standing up for equal rights has shaped him as an athlete and an activist. Adults and teens are welcome. This free event is sponsored by Friends of the Dayton Metro Library. Seating is first come\, first serve\, but additional seating will be available in an overflow room set up with live streaming. \n  \nFor more information\, and to register if required\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org/SocialJustice or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.

SUMMARY:John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band (J2B2)
DESCRIPTION:J2B2 is an all-star bluegrass supergroup featuring four legendary\, award-winning musicians – John Jorgenson on acoustic guitar\, mandolin and vocals; Herb Pedersen on banjo\, acoustic guitar and vocals; Mark Fain on bass; and Patrick Sauber on acoustic guitar and vocals – delivering bluegrass like no one has ever heard it before. The band’s undeniable live shows have received stellar reviews and have the bluegrass world buzzing. The four combine forces to form a spot-on union of impeccable musicianship\, incomparable songwriting\, incredible harmony vocals (a fresh twist combining bluegrass with elements of West Coast folk rock) and seasoned showmanship. This is the “high lonesome sound” of American roots music at its finest. \nJorgenson and Pedersen are founders (with Chris Hillman) of the formative country rock group Desert Rose Band. After working as a freelance musician in Southern California\, Jorgenson met Hillman and soon formed the Desert Rose Band. In 1990\, Jorgenson went on to found the Hellecasters and toured with Elton John’s band for six years. Artists ranging from Barbra Streisand to Bonnie Raitt to Earl Scruggs have sought out Jorgenson’s guitar work. Jorgenson portrayed Django Reinhardt in the Hollywood feature film Head in the Clouds. In 2008\, Jorgenson won a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental with Brad Paisley and was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album with Earl Scruggs. \nHerb Pedersen was a member of legendary bluegrass band The Dillards as well as bluegrass super-group Old and In the Way. A sought-after singer and musician\, he has worked with such music legends as Chris Hillman\, Earl Scruggs\, Gram Parsons\, Emmylou Harris\, Tony Rice\, Dan Fogelberg\, Stephen Stills\, Linda Ronstadt\, Kris Kristofferson\, John Prine\, Jackson Browne and John Denver. \nMark Fain toured and recorded as bass player for Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder for 13 years. He’s toured and recorded with the Dixie Chicks\, Alan Jackson\, Travis Tritt\, Dwight Yoakam\, Allison Krauss and Dolly Parton\, as well as producing many artists in jazz\, country\, bluegrass and gospel genres. \nPatrick Sauber is a multi-instrumentalist who has quickly made a name for himself in the world of bluegrass and old time music. Equally adept on guitar\, mandolin and banjo\, Sauber has toured with Peter Rowan and Laurie Lewis and appeared on screen in “The Mighty Wind.” \nJ2B2’s debut album\, From The Crow’s Nest\, was recorded in Sheryl Crow’s home barn studio in Nashville\, Tennessee. The album was recently released as part of a John Jorgenson limited edition\, 3-CD box set called DIVERTUOSO (Cleopatra Records)\, which has received vast critical acclaim. DIVERTUOSO includes three new distinct albums by Jorgenson: J2B2 – From The Crow’s Nest; John Jorgenson Quintet – Returning (gypsy jazz); and John Jorgenson – Gifts From The Flood(instrumental electric guitar). \nIn addition to recording their first album as a group\, J2B2 has played several major tour dates over the course of the past two and a half years\, including tours of Norway and the UK\, performances at the annual RockyGrass Festival in Lyons\, Colorado; the Joe Val Festival in Framingham\, Massachusetts; and headlining the Guitar Town Festival in Copper Mountain\, Colorado\, three years in a row. J2B2 made its Grand Ole Opry debut in October 2013 and has returned several times to the Opry since. J2B2 has created quite a buzz\, and The International Bluegrass Music Association is among the many giving the newly formed band’s live performance high marks. In a review\, the IBMA noted\, “There was warmth\, and storytelling\, and lots of laughter as this fresh band of legends made their debut…but with their expertise combined\, you would think they had been playing in this configuration for years.” \nYes! Weekly in Greensboro\, NC has noted of J2B2: “Expect fireworks and amazing playing from some of the best string players in the world.”

SUMMARY:Jesse “JT Jazz” Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Dayton\, Ohio\, known in music circles as the land of funk\, Jesse Thompson couldn’t help but be influenced by the city’s great R&B pioneers – including Slave\, Ohio Players\, Lakeside and Zapp featuring Roger Troutman. For the past 20 years\, the multi-talented composer\, pianist and keyboardist manifested these inspirations – and helped bring the legacies of these legendary bands forward – as a former member of the popular and prolific\, constantly gigging Columbus-based R&B/jazz ensemble NexLevel. \nIn addition to releasing two full length albums and multiple singles\, the band has performed and shared stages with everyone from Boys II Men\, Fourplay and Spyro Gyra to Mindi Abair\, Warren Hill\, Tim Bowman and late greats Jeff Golub and Wayman Tisdale. Thompson’s success with NexLevel has led to a multitude of opportunities to perform and tour regularly with genre greats Eric Darius\, Adam Hawley\, Althea Rene\, Paul Taylor and the late Nick Colionne. He also appears on saxophonist Jeanette Harris’ latest album Saxathrone.
