February 14, 2012 Greetings, Richland County Council and I would like to congratulate the Auntie Karen Foundation for its 9th Annual Legends of… Concert Series. Ms. Karen Alexander and her staff have done a phenomenal job of enriching the citizens of Richland County and the community with cultural awareness through education and an emphasis on the importance of preservation, which are essential to the development of the County, and especially important to our youth. With each year the Legends of…Concert Series gains more momentum, and this has afforded the foundation more visibility in the community. It has been a blessing to have the Auntie Karen Foundation, an organization that is committed to ensuring we value our worth in our community. I am assured that this year’s concert series, with the magnificent sounds of Ramsey Lewis on keyboards and the commanding voice of Patti Austin, will be as entertaining as ever.

Background/Summary

The Auntie Karen Foundation welcomes you to our ninth annual Legends Of...Concert Series. In 2004, our inaugural event featured Roberta Flack in concert with special guest, The Capital City Cho-rale. In 2005, we presented Jazz Legend, Dianne Reeves with special guest, The Auntie Karen All Stars, South Carolina’s Finest Musical Talent. Patrons are still rav-ing about Al Jarreau (2006) and Patti Aus-tin (2007). In 2008, we welcomed The Joe Sample Trio and Take 6. While in 2009, we showcased funk Legend, George Duke and jazz vocalist, Rachelle Ferrell. 2010 brought us the singer/songwriter duo, Ashford & Simpson, 2011, 10 time Grammy Award winner, singer, songwriter, producer, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. Tonight we welcome two Grammy Award winning Legends: Ramsey Lewis (pianist/composer) and Patti Austin (vocalist)

The Auntie Karen Foundation created the Legends of...Concert Series to pay tribute to the contributions African American mu-sic has made to history. Each year during Black History Month, the series profiles a jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel or blues artist who has made a lasting contribution to the history of music. The series places a special emphasis on Jazz Legends. In addition, we have extended our series to include “Legends of...In the Schools”. “Legends of...In the Schools” is a series of art events designed to salute African American Heritage. Events include: Folk Art, Quilting, Dance, Spoken Word, Writ-ten Word and Music. Through a partner-ship with The Columbia Museum of Art, on the last Saturday in January 2012, we featured some of the best local and regional artists at no cost to the public.

Auntie Karen® FoundationThe Auntie Karen Foundation is a global, nonprofit, 501(c) 3 charitable corporation certified by the state of South Carolina on October 31, 2001. The foundation’s mission is to create and implement a series of reproducible community outreach programs designed to empower, enlighten and educate through the arts. Programs include:

Annual Young Entrepreneur’s Conference For the ninth year, this innovative conference held on the campus of Benedict College has brought together youth (ages seven to twenty two) from across the region to foster economic empowerment. Each year, ten young entrepreneurs under the age of twenty five are featured. Auntie Karen’ s Place TV Pilot: Auntie Karen’s PlaceThe Auntie Karen Foundation partnered with SC ETV and Palmetto Health Children’sHospital to produce a 30-minute DVD that uses puppets and music to provide a simple way to explain life skills such as: health, emergency preparedness, jazz music and financial literary. The Foundation received a grant from the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Columbia and SC Competitive Grants program.

Artpreneur/Technopreneur Classes The purpose of the Artpreneur/Technopreneur classes is to “inspire a new generation of business leaders through arts and technology”. Classes include: visual art, dance, creative cooking, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, spoken word and etiquette. The Auntie Karen Foun-dation’s Artpreneur pilot program started in 2003.

Hugs From CarolinaThe Auntie Karen Foundation partnered with Auntie Karen Inc. and City Light Inc. to cre-ate Hugs From Carolina. Hugs From Carolina, a division of Hugs Around The World, has Olivia The Octopus spreading hugs to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. The program was launched in Biloxi, Mississippi on October 14, 2005. Children were given an adoption kit which included: an Olivia The Octopus Hand puppet and the book “Olivia Gave A Hug Today”. Once again, Olivia and City Light Inc. joined forces with a Hugs Campaign in Saluda, SC.

Legends of...(A Salute to Black History)The Auntie Karen Foundation pays tribute to the contributions of African Americans with the Legends of...Programs. Each year, the celebration includes: Black History Program with The Columbia Museum of Art, The Legends of...Master Class with CSAM (Center for Southern Af-rican American Music at USC) and The Legends of...Concert & Silent Auction (Koger Center)

Gordon’s GardenThe Gordon’s Garden Program was created to teach kids about healthy living habits. Gordon, an original Auntie Karen character, is an overweight, purple Jamaican Yam. The Jamaican Yams are used to teach healthy living skills to youth via music, books and DVDs. The fear that Gordon’s weight and eating habits are putting him at risk for developing diabetes was the inspiration for the garden.

Auntie Karen’s character Olivia The Octopus is an International Jazz Diva. The Hugs Around The World campaign was created to have Olivia travel the world giving hugs. To date Olivia has traveled to Brazil, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Japan, Holland, Ghana and Nigeria.

Ramsey Lewis & Patti AustinRamsey LewisRamsey Lewis is a jazz pianist and multi-instrumentalist, and composer who has released approximately 80 albums over a 50-year career. After several years of live performances and over a dozen albums which only caught the attention of jazz fans, the Ramsey Lewis Trio made a huge impression on mainstream audiences with the 1965 album The In Crowd. The title-track was a No.5 pop hit, and the album reached No.2. Moving further towards a pop version of Jazz, Wade In The Water and Hang On Sloppy the following year were also commercial successes.

His most successful album of the 70s was Sun Goddess, which was performed with the backing of members of Earth, Wind & Fire. It was his fourth album to be certified gold, and is still popular today with funk DJs and hip-hop samplers.

This three time Grammy Award winner has an extensive, diverse career. In addition to his work as a performer, composer, educator, and disc jockey, Lewis has received five honorary doctorate degrees, won the National Endowment for the Arts’ Jazz Master Award in 2007, and is one of the few noted jazz artists to carry the Olympic Torch, having briefly escorted the flame as it passed through Chicago en route to the 2002 Winter Games.

Patti AustinIn 2008, fifty-three years after getting her first record contract, Patti Austin was awarded her first Grammy, winning Best Jazz Vocal Album for Avant Gershwin. A pro-fessional since the age of five, Patti Austin was a protégé of Dinah Washington and Sammy Davis, Jr. A 1969 single for United Artists titled “Family Tree” cracked the R&B Top 50. Austin cut her debut LP, End of a Rainbow, for Creed Taylor’s CTI label in 1976, followed by Havana Candy in 1977 and Body Language in 1980. She sang

lead vocals for Japanese koto player Yutaka Yokokura on “Love Light” in 1978, did a duet with Michael Jackson on “It’s the Falling in Love” for Off the Wall, and sang “The Closer I Get to You” on Tom Browne’s album in 1979. Austin dueted with George Benson on “Moody’s Mood for Love” in 1980. She sang backgrounds for sessions by Houston Person, Noel Pointer, Ralph McDonald, Angela Bofill, and Roberta Flack. Austin did vocals on Quincy Jones’ The Dude LP in 1981, and was featured on the hit “Razzamatazz.” She inked a solo deal on Jones’ Qwest label, and her 1982 LP Every Home Should Have One included the number one pop hit (number nine R&B) “Baby, Come to Me,” which got widespread exposure via the ABC soap opera General Hospital. The follow-up single, “How Do You Keep the Music Playing,” was the theme for the film Best Friends. Both songs paired Austin with James Ingram. She continued recording for Jones’ Qwest label through the ‘80s, but couldn’t recapture her pop or R&B success, despite working with several top producers, including Jam&Lewis in 1985. Austin switched to GRP in 1990 and recorded Love Is Gonna Getcha, with the singles “Through the Test of Time” and “Good in Love.” She subsequently recorded Carry On and Live in 1991 and 1992. Street of Dreams followed in 1999 and On the Way to Love appeared in summer 2001. Her lovely tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, For Ella, appeared in spring 2002. Nearly five years later, Avant Gershwin was issued. After a decade on the jazz side of the fence, Austin returned more to the pop side with 2011’s Sound Advice, produced by Greg Phillinganes.

That’s why we value the arts and its ability to speak to us in so many ways. It’s how poetry or a painting moves us. It’s when a performance makes us think and feel, and most importantly, connect with each other.

A healthy communityis more than justhealthy people.

Building healthy communities. It’s the business we’re in.

S o u t h C a r o l i n a B l u e s . c o m

! What kind of times are these that turmoil, tornadoes and terrorists capture the news day in and day out?" Is there peace in the midst of all this?" King David summed it up well in Psalm 31." When surrounded by enemies, his trust in God rings out through the ages as he appeals for deliverance, “…You are my refuge." Into your hands I commit my spirit…” Sound familiar?" Jesus also spoke these words on the cross (Luke 23: 45)." With the coming of the Holy Spirit, I am to be as He was in the world - like Stephen at his martyrdom when he used the same words from Psalm 31 (See Acts 7:59)." Stephen mirrored Jesus at his death when he cried out, “Do not hold this sin against them (his persecutors)." How does this apply to me today in the 21st century amidst the circumstances of anti-Christian forces?" Psalm 31: 13 – 14:" But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.”" My times are in your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.” " Complete trust in a God who loves me is to be my attitude."

! Having said that, I must also consider something else." God does not delight in the death of the wicked, but His judgments must be reckoned with." Romans 6: 23," “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”" There are two prongs to this statement:" (1) God cannot deny his holiness so evil has to be judged" (2) God is love and His Son’s death on the cross appeased his wrath."

! I John 4: 10:" “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”" Propitiate is a verb meaning to regain the favor of" (a god, spirit, person) by doing something that pleases them." Propitiation is a noun, which is the action of propitiating or appeasing a god, spirit, or person. Now, it is clear." Jesus willingly appeased God’s anger against evil while Jesus was dying on the cross." Sin and judgment reckoned with and God’s love demonstrated in the same act!" How brilliant!"

Finally, God has done everything necessary to save the human race from experiencing His judgment against evil." " According to John 1: 9, Jesus is the Light that lights every man, even Usama bin Laden, who comes into the world." Here are the options:" Either I accept God’s provision or I have to pay! In other words, I could end up, although it is not God’s desire, just like Usama bin Laden!"

! So, whether turmoil, tornadoes, or terrorists, there is a God who loves me

and will not abandonment me through it all." Can I say with David, Jesus, and

Stephen," “My times are in your hands.”
