Solar Winds bring music of the highest quality to recital halls and schools throughout the Boston area.

You will hear Jill Dreeben, flute; Charlyn Bethell, oboe; Diane Heffner, clarinet; Sally Merriman, bassoon. 
Repertoire includes the most demanding compositions of the modern era as well as the classics, arrangements, and novelty pieces that make a woodwind concert such an unusual and delightful musical experience.

“Impressions of Spring” will offer quartets for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon. You will hear stunning works from Gioacchino Rossini (Quartet No. 6, written by a very young Rossini); Jean Françaix (Quatour, witty, conversational, and neo-classical); Alyssa Morris (Brush Strokes, aural representatives of Monet’s impressionism and Pollock’s drips), and Karl Eduard Goepfart (Wind Quartet, op. 93, a student of Franz Liszt).
<h5>What folks have to say:</h5>
<blockquote>“Solar Winds’ insightful and creative experimentation created an entertaining, one-of-a-kind and cohesive performance.” (The Phillipian, (Phillips Academy’s newspaper)“Despite having attended a multitude of Slosberg performances during my academic career at Brandeis, Solar Winds’ [performance] was pure gold, an obvious thrill that reeled me in like no other concert in the past ever has.” (The Brandeis Hoot, Brandeis University)“…I was very happy with their performance of my Woodwind Quintet and was impressed by their musicianship and dedication. They are meticulous in their approach and are a talented, intelligent and convivial ensemble with which to work.” (Francine Trester, Berklee College of Music)</blockquote>

For over 50 years Black Uhuru has remained one of the most popular recognized prolific reggae band from Jamaica. The living legends have earned several achievements in the music industry including winning the first ever Grammy Award for reggae music. They’re long success along with having the highest reggae record sales after Bob Marley &amp; the most songs sampled by other artist over the years has allowed them to become Ambassadors of reggae.The roots of Black Uhuru formed in Kingston’s “Waterhouse” District in the late 60’s. It is the home of founder &amp; leader Derrick “Duckie” Simpson along with all the rest of the singers from the group. The original Uhuru’s Swahili for “freedom” were Duckie, Don Carlos &amp; Garth Dennis. The first song was a Curtis Mayfield cover of “Folk Song”. They made only a couple more songs before Don left to pursue a solo career &amp; Garth joined Wailing Souls. The two were replaced by Michael Rose &amp; Errol Nelson both from Waterhouse. They recorded the debut album “Love Crises” in 1977 for Prince Jammy later re-released as “Black Sounds of Freedom”. Errol later left the group to join the Jays &amp; was replaced by female singer Puma Jones.This new line-up is when the band began to collaborate with Sly &amp; Robbie &amp; developed the “classic Uhuru” sound of the 80’s. A unique style full of heavy drum &amp; bass, sharp keys, loud guitar riffs &amp; long instrumentals filled with whirly background effects &amp; the signature “wow oh-oh oh’s” echo. It was during this period they signed with Island Records. They began touring internationally &amp; started receiving worldwide attention. They recorded some of their most popular albums like “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” “Sensimelia” &amp; “Chill Out”. The album “Red” was voted #23 for Rolling Stone Magazine list of 100 greatest albums of the 80’s. And history was made when they won reggae’s first grammy award in 1984 for the album “Anthem”. Shortly after the grammy Michael left the group to go solo.Another Waterhouse resident named Junior Reid became the new lead singer. Two albums were released “Brutal” nominated for grammy &amp; “Positive” with Ras Records. These albums included popular hits like “Dreadlocks on the Mountain” “Fit You Haffi Fit” &amp; one of the groups first music videos “Great Train Robbery”. Sadly due to ill health Puma passed away in 1990. Around this time Jr. Reid was having visa issues unable to tour.During the mid 90’s the original members reunited. Four albums were released “Now”, “Iron”, Storm”, “Mystical Truth” &amp; “Strongg” all nominated for grammy. They made an award-winning music video for “Tip of the Iceberg” that featured rap star Ice-T &amp; another video for “One Love” featuring Louie Rankin. They performed live on television for VH1 a cover version of Jimmy Hendrix “Hey Joe”. In 1994 they won the Diamonds Awards for Excellence. Unfortunately, the group began to dispute over band legal rights &amp; went to court in the late 90’s. Duckie won the rights to the name.
