Welcome to our neighborhood Boston Jobs - | BOSTON PUBLICK-12 school profilesTHE BEGINNINGS: In 1630-1640 Boston Lincolnshire England, a town 120 miles from London, sent over 10% of its Puritan religious population to Boston. Unwilling Blacks arrived in Boston in 1638 aboard a ship named "Desire." Now, 125,000 of 600,000 Boston residents are African-Americans. The Latino population was counted as 88,000 plus recently. Asians- 47,000. We think more than one-half of this city are people of color: Boston Haitians, Boston Jamaicans, Boston Africans, and others.

EARL KLUGH SEEN LIVE in Boston Grammy award winner Earl Klugh and band were on fire Saturday night in Boston under a full moon at Sculler's Jazz Club.
AboutBlackBoston.com caught the last Saturday night set and WE RECOMMEND the artist. He'll be appearing on Boston's FOX 25 Morning TV program August 18th at 8:45 A.M.
In concert, Earl played the track "SNAP" and other remarkable songs from his The Spice of Life album released by KOCH Entertainment. The spontaneous large crowd followed every note he played. The set contained old and new music. He has sold millions of records during his career and topped BillBoard Charts several times as a jazz artist. When the the band took their ending bows, the crowd stood up and clapped with appreciation. Mr. Klugh welcomed that by returning to perform a solo encore to end the concert.
Backing him was argueably the best band ensemble that can shadow a musician as good as Earl Klugh and bring game to the table as well. There was Al Duncan adding textures on keys. Bassist Al Turner brought game with his two bass guitars: he has played for Pattie Labelle, Arthea Franklin, Joni Mitchell, Burt Bachrach and others. Mr. "Funk That" David Lee, on keyboard, who collaborated with Parliment Funkadelic on their hit song ATOMIC DOG, brought his 30 years of experience. David danced on funky jams more than the rest! :-) Saxophonist Lenny Price
has played a White House dinner hosted By President & Mrs. George W. Bush honoring American Jazz. In Boston with Earl, he blew on every track and sometimes played two saxophones at the same time. Brother Ron Otis on drums brought game as big as Lenny White, master drummer:Ron was rock steady on timing and beats, and he's the youngest band member. Scullers may be one of a few jazz club venues where you can hear the performers "thinking." It was a fine concert- Earl Klugh in Boston at Scullers. What is COLORS?
