soul aid soul system

Brent Crampton ~ November 11 - 2006 - Omaha, NE - Within a single generation AIDS has reached pandemic proportions globally. There are now over 40 million people living with AIDS. Of the 13.2 million children who have been left behind in the wake of AIDS, 95% are in Africa alone, and every 14 seconds another child is faced with losing his or her parent and taking on adult responsibilities because of AIDS.
In response to this, Ultramusique.com is on a soul mission as we present, Soul Aid: A NextAid.org Benefit, which will take place on Nov. 11th, from 7 p.m. – 1 a.m. at The Omaha Press Club (scroll down for directions and parking info).

A celebration of culture for a cause, Soul Aid will feature live saxophone, percussion, keys and dee jay combined in the national headlining jazz-house ensemble known as Soul System (www.soulsystem.com). Opening act will be Brent Crampton, alongside a rare appearance by LJ Munz, with host Jay 'Rhythm Souldier' Kline.

Proceeds will be donated to Nextaid.org and as a further contribution, we'll be hosting a donation dinner from 7-9 pm, where contributors can make a minimum donation of $30 for a full course dinner (this fee includes ticket price as well). RSVP must be received by by Nov. 8th.

Flickering city skyline view, 22-floors up and right in the middle of Omaha’s downtown business district is The Press Club. A private member-based bar and dining club that has previously never been open to club culture, The Press Club offers a high-rise view of the city that extends unto the horizon.

running through color

A couple of folks from our crew participated in a run out at a local elementary school.  The entire schools showed for this one, lined up and ready to be splashed with some colored powder or another. The more they ran the more colorful they became.  Beats all around set a festive tone for everyone. Those of us participating chilled on the playground after a few laps, then joined back in for another lap or two to close out the day.    Free drinks and snacks refreshed those otherwise banned from enjoying the ice cream truck.

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc

  An afternoon focused on technology down at J. Rieger & Co. broke up the week nicely, offering a unique learning experience from Pomerol Partners.  Lunch and presentations associated with machine learning and data stack modernization were followed by a discussion around large language models with a few Kansas City IT leaders.   Immediately following that, Abstract Technologies talked about LATAM opportunities through nearshoring staffing services, followed by Black Khaki Brand Communicators discussing maintenance of organization cultural wellness.  Topping things off like a cherry on top, we learned of a new podcast worth listening in on, entitled " Drinks and Data ," hosted by KC technology leaders Kanon Cozad and Shawn Helwig.
