Chet Atkins was an A&R (artist and repertoire) executive for RCA Victor Records from 1958 until 1974, producing recordings for such artists as Elvis Presley, Bobby Bare, Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves, Skeeter Davis, Waylon Jennings, Duane Eddy, The Browns, Charley Pride, Hank Snow and The Everly Brothers, to name just a few. In the early 1960s, at the peak of his production activity, he supervised as many as 300 recording sessions a year - each session lasting at most three hours and yielding three or four arranged and completed tracks. At his disposal were the cream of Nashville session musicians, the so-called "A-list", including pianists Floyd Cramer and Hargus Robbins, saxophonist Boots Randolph, guitarists Grady Martin, Harold Bradley and Hank Garland, legendary bassist Bob Moore, drummer Buddy Harman and renowned harmonica artist Charlie McCoy, backed up by superb vocalists such as Anita Kerr, Millie Kirkham and The Jordanaires. A superb talent with an amazing sense of musical creativity, Chet Atkins wrote the "book" for much of what we consider good popular music today.- Lotario was born on 7 January 1918 in Matanzas, Cuba. He was an actor, known for Goldface, the Fantastic Superman (1967), La loba (1973) and Rosangelica (1993). He died on 30 June 2001 in Caracas, Venezuela.
- Jazz saxophonist and composer Joe Henderson could best be described as a renaissance man. Creating a style unique from the dominant saxophonists of his early career -- namely John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins -- Henderson became the consummate sideman. He recorded with Herbie Hancock and Andrew Hill. He briefly played with the legendary Miles Davis and from 1964 to 1966 he played with the quintet led by composer-pianist Horace Silver. In later years he tested different musical waters, playing with the rock group Blood Sweat & Tears.
His musical career began while he was a student at Kentucky State College and Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. After a brief period in the army from 1960 to 1962 he joined the Blue Note Records label and in the late 1970s he recorded several albums for Milestone Records. Never completely out of vogue, he enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in the 1990s after a series of critically and popularly acclaimed albums that included an Antonio Carlos Jobim tribute called "Double Rainbow" and "So Near, So Far (Musings for Miles)", dedicated to Miles Davis. A master of composition, his songs "Recorda Me" and "Inner Urge" have become jazz classics. A long battle with emphysema and a stroke in 1998 stopped Henderson's public career, but his legacy and career that spanned over four decades has left a permanent prototype for others to follow. - Sound Department

- Composer, musician, teacher and poet Bruce Detrick wrote music and lyrics for the theater, scores for two documentary films (on the natural world as healer) and pieces for the Robin Becker Dance Company. "Crosstown Bus", a musical eavesdropping (with original book, music and lyrics), was produced by Stuart Ostrow with the American Repertory Theatre. His settings of the poetry of Rumi premiered at The Open Center, NYC; "The World Mass" premiered in NYC at the Union Theological Seminary; and "Lamento Orfeo" premiered in Italy with an international cast. His song cycle, "Circle of Songs", will be featured on a forthcoming CD.
Believing passionately that the arts must renew their spiritual roots in this time of commercialism, Bruce coordinated sacred music and dance retreats for the Omega Institute and the Sufi Community (his Sufi name was Orpheus). Bruce was co-founder and executive director of The Tamarand Foundation which has been bringing roof gardens, children's play gardens, music and the arts to inner city children and adults living with HIV and AIDS since 1987. In 1992 Bruce and his partner (and Tamarand's co-founder) Joe Mondello were honored by the Municipal Art Society of New York for their "years of selfless work and vision of a time when we will find our way to compassion and healing in the AIDS crisis."
