Listen to “Juma Sultan, our friend, is a jazz musician, most often recording as a percussionist or bass player. He may be best known for his…” on Spreaker.

Juma Sultan (born April 13, 1942) is a jazz musician, most often recording as a percussionist or bass player. He may be best known for his appearance at the Woodstock festival of 1969 at Bethel, New York, playing with Jimi Hendrix. He currently plays in the African performance group Sankofa,[1] the band Sons of Thunder and with the Juma Sultan Band.[2]

Career
Sultan was born in Monrovia, California on April 13, 1942. In 1969, he performed at the Woodstock festival in Hendrix’s band, Gypsy Sun and Rainbows[3] and on The Dick Cavett Show and at a special show in Harlem, New York several weeks later. He was interviewed extensively for the documentary films, Jimi Hendrix and Jimi Hendrix: Live at Woodstock. He appears on approximately 12 of Jimi Hendrix’ posthumous releases.

Juma Sultan’s musical talents span jazz, rock, blues and spirituals throughout decades of performing, producing and recording. In 2006, Clarkson University, in conjunction with Sultan, received a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts[4] to preserve Sultan’s audio and video documentation of avant garde jazz during the 1960s and 1970s. The collection may be viewed at www.jumasarchive.org.[2]

Sultan appeared at the National Rock Con[5] from July 30, 2010 – August 1, 2010.

Sultan also joined Vince Martell, Spanky and Our Gang, and Bleu Ocean at B.B. King’s Blues Club on August 2, 2010, for the encore of “California Dreamin'”.

Juma also recorded with Archie Shepp, Noah Howard, Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre, Sonny Simmons, Daoud Haroon, Asha Nan, Emmeretta Marks, Don Moore Band, and Sankofa.

A conga player listed as Juma Santos is credited on Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew. He toured and recorded with Miles Davis, Nina Simone, David Sanborn and Taj Mahal, among others. Juma Santos was an entirely different individual, and not the same person who is the subject of this article.

As Veterans Day is Observed on November 11th FIND OUT MORE ABOUT LEADERSHIP & GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES IN THE U.S. ARMY RESERVE

As Veterans Day is Observed on November 11th
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT LEADERSHIP & GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES IN THE U.S. ARMY RESERVE
Veterans Day is a day to set aside to honor all American veterans for their dedicated and loyal service to their country and to appreciate the sacrifices they made to keep our country free.
For generations, sons and daughters have followed in their relative’s footsteps, (whether it’s a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle) by wearing the nation’s uniform and serving in the U.S. military.
But what does it mean to be a Soldier for life? Whether you serve for one enlistment term or a twenty year career, we honor and thank each person for their role in serving the country. For each person who serves, they can recognize their contributions to our country. And that takes shape in a variety of ways. In the Army Reserve, for example, there are many opportunities for men and women to participate in military service across areas such as transportation, public affairs, military intelligence and more. One critical role is the Warrant Officer.
The Warrant Officers have technical expertise that enables the commander’s vision. Although they make up less than three percent of total Army strength, Warrant Officers are responsible for training Soldiers, organizing and advising on missions, and advancing within their career specialties. This is a critical position within all branches of the military—and especially within the Army Reserve—because the Warrant Officer is a steady presence with expert knowledge that helps the Army achieve its mission.
Army Reserve Command Chief Warrant Officer, Hal Griffin, as he discusses the importance of Veterans Day and the opportunities to serve as a Soldier for life in the Army Reserve.

Lorne Cousin, USA Ambassador for The Balvenie

UNIQUE FATHER’S DAY GIFT IDEAS
Rare Craftsmanship and Artisan Gifts for Dad
From All Across the U.S.A.

One day out of the year, we take time to appreciate our fathers. If you’re like most, you don’t know what to get for your dear old dad. Lorne Cousin, USA Ambassador for The Balvenie, the most handcrafted single-malt scotch is available to discuss some unique artisan gifts for dad for Father’s Day.

In 2011 & 2012, The Balvenie Brand Ambassadors traveled across America in a custom hand built Morgan sports car to find the best craftsmen and artisan in the US. From brewers, vintners and cheesemakers to apothecaries, tailors, bicycle makers and all points in between, they discovered and celebrated the burgeoning community of like-minded American artisans dedicated to the practice and preservation of traditional crafts. The top craftsman was awarded a Fellowship Award of $5000 earlier this year and a trip to The Balvenie Distillery in Scotland, to help continue their craft.

The gift ideas Lorne will discuss for Father’s Day are dedicated to exposing America to some of its best and brightest craftsmen and encouraging the public to appreciate and support these top-notch artisans.

About Lorne Cousin – The Balvenie Ambassador, Western USA

From his highland roots in Scotland’s legendary Campbeltown – an area steeped in whisky tradition – Balvenie Brand Ambassador and renaissance man Lorne Cousin brings a wealth of craftsmanship and skill, and a lifetime’s worth of unexpected experiences, to his role with the most hand crafted Single Malt Scotch. In a career that has seen him representing Scotland’s most beloved cultural products – music and whisky – he has travelled the world, sharing a platform with characters as diverse as royals, distillers, international pop stars and athletes.

Lorne began his successful career and then became an accomplished piper. He rapidly became one of the world’s most renowned bagpipe players, earning some high profile gigs along the way. A collaboration and series of onstage performances for the British Olympic team as well as with Queen of Pop Madonna on her 2004 world tour firmly established his credentials. In between all these achievements, he also managed to be included at number 6 in Scotland on Sunday’s Top 50 “Most Eligible Bachelors in Scotland” list, and was featured in countless newspaper, magazine and broadcast appearances.

About The Balvenie

The Balvenie is a unique range of Single Malt whiskies hand crafted in Scotland’s Speyside region by William Grant & Sons. Created by internationally renowned malt master David Stewart, The Balvenie is unique in that it retains complete control over the five rare crafts that go into the production of its acclaimed whisky: nowhere else will you find a distillery that still grows its own barley, malts in its own traditional malting floor, employs coopers to tend every cask, a coppersmith to maintain the stills and a malt master to ensure that the resulting spirit is consistently excellent. It is this dedicated to producing a truly handcrafted whisky that has led to the Balvenie receiving the highest plaudits at a range of international spirits competitions, with the Balvenie 21 Year Old Portwood recently picking up the Single Malt Trophy at both the International Spirits Challenge and the International Wine and Spirits competition.
