And indeed\, we seem to be witnessing a historic shift now. The relatively stable decades after World War II saw gains for global democracies\, rapid economic growth fueled by globalization\, and the birth of the Internet. But they also saw the speeding of global warming\, widening inequality\, and the scourge of transnational terrorism. The institutions and agreements that have grounded the modern international order are showing signs of weakness\, while illiberal sentiment gathers strength across the West. Nationalism is having a moment. Europe is having an identity crisis. And China is challenging the dominance of the United States. How did we get here? What’s next? \nVideo link: \nhttps://www.aspenideas.org/sessions/where-the-west-lost-its-way URL:https://culturehhi.org/event/how-the-west-was-lost/ LOCATION:First Presbyterian Church\, 540 William Hilton Parkway\, Hilton Head\, 29928\, United States CATEGORIES:Education,Featured,History ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://culturehhi.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Douglas_Lute_2013.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="World Affairs Council of Hilton Head":MAILTO:wachhi@gmail.com GEO:32.2062764;-80.6979716 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=First Presbyterian Church 540 William Hilton Parkway Hilton Head 29928 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=540 William Hilton Parkway:geo:-80.6979716,32.2062764 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201002T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201002T223000 DTSTAMP:20240419T231313 CREATED:20200903T120015Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201002T034432Z UID:33640-1601663400-1601677800@culturehhi.org SUMMARY:The Rodney Jordan Quintet DESCRIPTION:TWO CONCERTS NIGHTLY ~ 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM\n \n~ The RODNEY JORDAN Quintet ~\nMelvin Jones\, Trumpet\nMark Sterbank\, Tenor Saxophone\nLouis Heriveaux\, Piano\nRodney Jordan\, Bass\nQuentin Baxter\, Drums\n \nRODNEY JORDAN is a native of Memphis\, Tennessee where he grew up playing the bass in church and with his high school orchestra. He later studied music with Dr. London Branch\, Alvin Fielder\, and Andy Hardwick at Jackson State University in Jackson\, Mississippi. During his college years\, Jordan joined the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra where he served as Assistant Principal Bassist. After graduating\, he became Chair of the String Department at the Dougherty County Public School and served as Principal Bassist with the Albany Symphony Orchestra in Albany\, GA. Teaching has always been an important part of Mr. Jordan’s life and career. In addition to teaching strings in Dougherty County\, he also taught in the DeKalb County School Systems.\nDuring his years in Georgia\, Jordan served as a bass instructor at Darton College (part of the University System of Georgia) in Albany and at Georgia State University in Atlanta. While living in Atlanta\, Jordan became one of the city’s most active jazz bassists\, performing and recording with some of America’s finest jazz musicians\, including Marcus Printup\, Mulgrew Miller\, James Williams\, Milt Jackson\, George Coleman\, and Russell Gunn. He joined the faculty in the School of Music at Florida State University in Tallahassee\, FL in 2001 where he now holds a rank of Professor of Jazz Studies. Jordan teaches jazz bass\, jazz combo playing\, music education classes\, and a jazz styles class.\n​\nJordan joined the Marcus Roberts Trio in 2009. It was evident during that first official performance of the newly-formed trio at the prestigious Wigmore Hall in London that Jordan thoroughly understood Roberts’ unique trio conception. Rodney Jordan is one of the most versatile jazz bassists on the scene today. His tone is rich and soulful when he plays hauntingly beautiful phrases with the bow. Just as readily\, he plays fast virtuosic passages with apparent effortless skill. Jordan’s knowledge of harmony from his classical bass training combined with the relentless feeling of swing in his playing is a perfect fit for the powerful melodic\, blues-based\, syncopated improvisational sound of the Marcus Roberts Trio.\n​\nMUSIC CHARGE: $20.00\nREQUEST A RESERVATION URL:https://culturehhi.org/event/the-rodney-jordan-quintet/ LOCATION:The Jazz Corner\, 1000 William Hilton Parkway\, Hilton Head Island\, SC\, 29928\, United States CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://culturehhi.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Rodney-Jordan-Bass-e1511823088209-We7vM6.tmp_.jpg GEO:32.15793;-80.755616 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Jazz Corner 1000 William Hilton Parkway Hilton Head Island SC 29928 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1000 William Hilton Parkway:geo:-80.755616,32.15793 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201003T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201003T223000 DTSTAMP:20240419T231313 CREATED:20201002T034433Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201003T034420Z UID:33915-1601749800-1601764200@culturehhi.org SUMMARY:The Rodney Jordan Quintet DESCRIPTION:TWO CONCERTS NIGHTLY ~ 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM\n \n~ The RODNEY JORDAN Quintet ~\nMelvin Jones\, Trumpet\nMark Sterbank\, Tenor Saxophone\nLouis Heriveaux\, Piano\nRodney Jordan\, Bass\nQuentin Baxter\, Drums\n \nRODNEY JORDAN is a native of Memphis\, Tennessee where he grew up playing the bass in church and with his high school orchestra.

The mysterious instrument produced the most amazing sounds with the simple press of a key. Though he had been on the planet for a mere four years\, his young heart knew that he simply had to master this instrument\, and so it was quickly arranged for him to study privately with a teacher at home. Nine years of lessons and joyfully picking out songs from records to play on the piano went by\, and at the age of thirteen Taylor got his first guitar. Though he would always admire the piano\, and would remember fondly the many hours they spent together\, it was clear to him that he had finally found the instrument of his dreams. He made the firm decision to make the guitar his primary focus.\nBorn and raised in Gainesville\, Florida\, Taylor found himself in an ideal location for his budding musical career. The supportive local music scene (and his parents) allowed him to play in various bands throughout high school\, with sounds ranging from punk and ska to rock and blues. For Taylor\, as for so many of us\, music was an oasis throughout the tumultuous teenage years. At the age of sixteen\, however\, he was swept up to entirely new musical heights\, rich with emotion and storytelling and…explosions! Yes\, he had discovered Jazz. Charlie Parker\, John Coltrane\, Wes Montgomery…An entirely new world had opened up!\nAfter surviving high school\, Taylor took his diploma and his newly refined focus\, and began pursuing a Bachelor of Music Degree in Jazz Studies at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Being able to study with the internationally-renowned faculty and honing his craft was a dream come true. Today\, Taylor has made music performance and teaching his full-time job\, and has become very well-respected among his peers. Multiple performances at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival and the Gainesville Jazz Festival\, active membership in the Ritz Jazz Orchestra\, and thousands of gigs at clubs\, restaurants and private events throughout the Southeast have helped to build his reputation\, professionally and musically.\nIn 2008\, he released a solo guitar album entitled “Short Story\,” currently available on iTunes. The praise and recognition he received for the recording has helped to make him a “first call” in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas for solo guitar work. Additionally\, he was afforded the opportunity in 2009 to travel to Japan\, Russia\, and the Dutch Harbor performing with the Christian Tamburr Quintet. Other household names he’s performed with include Bucky Pizzarelli\, Linda Cole\, Gary Foster\, Sal Lozano\, Kevin Bales\, Tim Hagans\, Jon Weber\, Toscha Comeaux\, and Rene Marie.
