Jazz Septet concert benefits Habitat for Humanity
In a musical event sponsored
and directed by Robin DeVour,
come connect with and enjoy
the wonderful sounds of the
Pacific Jazz Septet benefit con-
cert Sunday, Aug. 16, at the
Florence Events Center.
In addition to the septet, the
concert will feature vocalist
Denise Dee. This benefit con-
cert is sponsored and directed
Florence City Wide
Garage Sale
September 11-13, 2015
presented by
the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce
by DeVour, and originals and
arrangements are also by
DeVour.
All proceeds from the con-
cert go to Florence Habitat for
Humanity to build houses.
Habitat for Humanity was
founded in 1976 to eliminate
poverty housing in the world.
Heading up the rhythm sec-
tion will be DeVour on key-
board. DeVour was interested
in music early, playing accor-
dion and being paid for it,
before he was 10.
Educated at Occidental
College where he majored in
music composition, DeVour
performed USO Christmas
shows in Alaska and Korea.
After graduation, he served in
the U.S. Navy from 1953 to
1957. He spent a year at the
Navy School of Music near
Washington D.C. and was sent
to Naples, where he played
with the NATO band.
Subsequently, he was trans-
ferred for 18 months to
Guantanamo Bay, where he
learned Spanish and played
with Cuban musicians learning
Latin rhythms.
Receiving a master’s degree,
his thesis was about the psy-
chology of music. Afterward,
DeVour taught music classes at
the college level. He received
his doctorate in clinical psy-
chology. Although he worked
in a state mental hospital for
several years, his increasing
difficulty with blindness led
him to private practice.
Although he continued his
interest in music, he retired
from his clinical work at age
70. Currently, he is involved
with the Pacific Jazz Septet.
Mike Swain began playing
drums in elementary school
and continued his drum studies
through junior college. Among
his teachers was the renowned
jazz drummer Philly Joe Jones,
with whom he studied in Los
Angeles, Calif.
After moving to Florence
some years ago, Swain played
with the Oregon Coast
Chamber Orchestra, and cur-
rently with the Pacific Jazz
Septet.
The bass will be played by
BRSK — and yes, that is the
name he uses. BSRK is a com-
poser and multi-instrumentalist
hailing from the Pacific
Northwest. BSRK began his
professional career as a studio
and touring musician.
Guitarist Ed Petry has con-
tributed arrangements to the
Pacific Jazz Septet book and
will round out the rhythm sec-
tion.
A gifted musician on all sax-
ophones,
Lou
Invernon
presently plays alto with
Pacific Jazz Ensemble and is a
conductor of the Pacific Coast
Wind Ensemble. He also plays
clarinet in Oregon Coast
Chamber Orchestra.
Invernon has backed renown
talents Johnny Mathis, Ray
Charles, Wayne Newton,
Nancy Wilson, Gladys Knight
and the Pips, and a host of oth-
ers well-known performers.
Virgil Walkely taught school
and retired to Florence, where
he contributes as trombonist
and vocalist.
Chris Rowbothem was edu-
cated in the music department
of the University of Oregon.
He was active on the Eugene
music scene, and at present
teaches instrumental music in
the Siuslaw School District.
He is an accomplished
soloist and improvisor.
The concert will be held at
the Florence Events Center,
located at 715 Quince St., start-
ing at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15
and can be purchased at the
Florence Events Center box
office, or online at www.events
