Benefit for Tom Terrell - a Great Friend of Jazz

Join Giant Step family and friends in a benefit concert for longtime
friend and supporter, Tom Terrell on Monday, September 11th at Canal Room.

A DC native and Ft. Greene veteran Tom Terrell has been in the music
industry mix since the early 80s. Among many contributions, Tom has served
as Publicity Manager for Verve Records, NPR Commentator, liner note writer
and contributor to Global Rhythms, Jazziz, Vibe, Trace and Essence, DJ at
DC's 9:30 Club and Alt Rock Champions WHFS-FM.

This past summer Tom was diagnosed with cancer, and is without health
insurance. As a result, artists whom Tom has influenced over the years and
vice versa including, Meshell Ndegeocello, Angelique Kidjo, Joaquin
Joe Claussell, Kenny Barron, Marc Anthony Thompson, Vernon Reid + many more with special unannounced guests, have gathered together to bring this worthy fundraiser to fruition.

Encompassing the myriad of sounds that Tom Terrell embraces, this one-of-a-kind event is a loving shout-out to a creative catalyst, tireless fan and resident of Planet Rock!

It might be in the jazz news department, but he was a writer for Jazztimes, also did promotion for Verve and other labels. Has written some liner notes and produced a CD or two.
