The group toured the midwest, southwest, and northwest United States.  Damu later joined a group in Los Angeles called the "Geechie" Smith Allstars" and played the B-3 organ in this group from 1975-1977.  After moving to Oakland around 1979, Damu played in several groups including eight years, 2001 to 2009 with William "Doc" Webster's group, "Jazz Nostalgia" at Les Joulins Jazz Bistro in San Francisco.  He was a sideman for many years with "Hanif and the Sound Voyagers." He also had his own group "First Edition," and occasionally performed with the "Carl Garrett Quartet".  From 1982 -1984, and again briefly in 2008 and 2010, Damu was pianist for the "Stones of Fire," a reggae gospel choir of Wo'Se Community Church in East Oakland. He was also a music teacher at Ile Omode. Damu released Serenity, Spring 2023, to great acclaim.  Damu Sudi Alii Quintet is hosting a tribute concert to two of his favorite musician friends, Kenneth Byrd and Kamau Seitu at Oaktown Jazz Workshop, 3-5 PM PT, 55 Washington Street, Jack London Square, Oakland.

    "Voices from Early America" Author T.N. Pollio on the Sunbury Press Books Show

    in Books

    What can be learned from a diary? What indeed, from not just one but several original writings, letters, journals, and other memorabilia of the Colonial and Victorian times? The answers lie in T.N. Pollio's new book, Voices from Early America on Sunbury Press Books.
    Speaking with Lawrence Knorr, Pollio discusses his work as a historian and author and his collection of authentic and true diaries and writings of American settlers. Their times were different, but like today, their emotions and perspectives on life mirror those of today.
    T.N. Pollio lives on the shore of Southern New England. He is the author of two books on ancient and medieval history, which are on the shelves of nearly 900 academic libraries on five continents. He has also published numerous articles and essays on art and historical subjects. Pollio is also a member of the Archeologic Institute of America and other historical forums.
