The Rude Boys arc a exciting new
Rand B singing group. The group was
formulated three years ago. It was a
good idea to come together because
they are brothersandcousins, and being
together as one family makes it so
much sweeter.
Melvin says “ The family as a unit
is very important to us. It’s hard to
believe it is finally happening for us.”
The Boys did not want to be influenced
by peer pressure,” but felt the need to
set a goal and reach that goal and pres-
David Sanborn
Head Mt. Hood
Festival Of Jazz
Saturday Night
Popular saxophonist David San­
born will headline the 1991 Mt. Hood
Festival of Jazz Saturday evening show,
according to Jazz Festival Foundation
President Terry McCall, who also an­
nounced the additions to the 1 Oth anni­
versary Festival of Cleo Laine, John
Dankworth, Jon Hendricks and Com­
pany and the Blue Notes. The Festival
is Aug. 2-4 at Mt. Hood Community
College.
Sanborn has become one of the
most visible jazz alto saxophonists in
years, playing on a wide range of re­
cordings and keeping the concert flame
alive with coast to coast tours with his
band.
He’s appeared on television nu­
merous times, including frequent ap­
pearances on the David Letterman show
and acting as host for a late-Sunday
music program that featured Sanborn
playing with musicians in styles from
mainstream and fusion jazz to blues,
reggae and pop/rock. He also has hosted
a nationally-heard radio program, “ The
Jazz show” .
Vocalist Cleo Laine and the John
Dankworth Quartet will also perform
on the Festival’s Saturday concert.
Laine’s work in the jazz and pop fields
has earned her near-legendary status
among her audience and other singers.
Her distinct styling has augmented
recordings from “ Send in the Clowns”
to work with Ray Charles (on a boxed
set of music from “ Porgy and Bess” )
and even to classical works.
ent the best sound possible” , claims
Larry. ’ ’Making sure you presentagood
product takes hard work and now that is
paying off for us.”
The Rude Boys are all natives of
Cleveland, Ohio and high school gradu­
ates of John Adams East Tech and
Shaw High School. They were discov­
ered by Gerald Lavert.
Written All Over Your Face is
their biggest hit to date-reaching No.2
on the bill board charts. They let you
know being prepared to meet the rigors
of the entertainment world is a must.
Gospel Music is the heart of their
musical background. Praying about all
things has been the formula for their
success It has opened many doors for
this young, but talented group.
They continue to grow in popular­
ity throughout the music world. If you
haven’t had a chance to hear Written
All Over Your Face, I Feel For You, or
Are You Lonely For Me, then get down
to your record store and buy the album
Rude Awakening.
The group wants to extend best
wishes to all their staff and fans for the
support they received in making this
happen.
