Born in Detroit to an African American father and white mother\, Dorian grew up in a family that valued music as an expression of art\, identity and politics. She loves jazz and its balance between creative freedom and structure\, the fun of swing and phrasing. She also works in other musical styles: country-roots with Foxes in the Henhouse\, classical with Gravenstein Mandolin Ensemble and eclectic freelance groups around the Bay Area. Dorian studied at the University of Michigan and UC Berkeley and taught music in Petaluma’s public schools. \nBOB JOHNS (piano/trumpet) Bob’s early piano lessons grew into a desire to improvise like his father who played jazz trumpet in big bands and small groups. When he arrived in San Francisco after serving in the Navy\, Bob found like-minded players who formed the fusion group Nexus\, playing in San Francisco and the East Bay through the 80s. He played keyboard and trombone for a time in the African group\, Hedzoleh Soundz. Bob plays each Tuesday night with his jazz buddies at the Comstock Saloon in San Francisco’s North Beach. He hosts an Open Mic once a month in Petaluma at the United Methodist Church. \nDAVID SCOTT (sax/flute/vocals) left his hit rock & roll band in Australia and boarded a ship at age 18 to head for New Caledonia as a jazz musician. He settled for 10 years in Tahiti\, playing jazz\, rock and island music as well as learning French. David came to Sonoma County in 1989 and joined Gator Beat (now known as Gator Nation) playing Cajun & Zydeco music. He developed a unique style of interwoven horn and accordion and has mastered the technique of circular breathing (continuous tone without interruption) on his saxophone. David is a founder of Collaboration Jazz Band which performs locally. \nTONY BLAKE (drums) was born and raised in San Francisco. Eclectic in his percussive expression\, Tony is comfortable in symphony orchestras\, small jazz ensembles\, folk\, rock or world music groups. He has developed a playing style that draws on many traditions. Finding the common pulse to support the music inspires him\, no matter what the setting. Tony lives in Petaluma and works as an Environmental Scientist. He spends much of his free time traveling the San Francisco Bay Area making music. \n\nImage courtesy of Mark Adams Photography\nSponsored by Petaluma Museum Association – 20 4th Street\, Petaluma CA 94952 and\nPetaluma Blacks for Community Development – PO Box 2045\, Petaluma CA  94953-2045
