×A protean artist, performer and set designer, Tim Duffy grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, in the intoxicating orbit of the Newport Jazz Festival. He studied sculpture and film at the Rhode Island School of Design, which led to a series of improvisational, artistic explorations. In the early ’70s, Tim migrated to Colorado, where he pioneered experimental workshops around the state, evolving into his funk-gospel-jazz “cosmic pageant,” Orchestra of Clouds. His design and art direction for film, television, commercials and concerts (including U2’s immortal 1983 show at Red Rocks) took him around the world before he returned to Colorado in the early ’90s, composing, recording and performing countless works of original music. His active, adventurous blend of jazz, funk and humor was executed by various ensembles including the Rocky Mountain All Stars, the All Stars Soul Revue and Jazz Explorers. In 2002, he suffered a debilitating stroke, followed by another. He now resides in Washington State, where he continues his sculpting career with the use of one hand and makes occasional recording pilgrimages to Colorado. Tim Duffy has recruited Colorado’s finest musicians to share the studio and stage, including: Larry Thompson, Randy Chavez, Eric Gunnison, Larry Wilkins, Kim Stone, Fred Gowdy, Chris Engleman, Marguerite Juenemann, Mark Oblinger, Bob Rebholz, Coco Brown, Gary Wilson, Fly McClard, Robben Ford, Sam Broussard, Jason McDaniel, Kent McLagan, Dawn Kramer, Winston Ford, Esmé Patterson, Genevieve Patterson, Carl Carlwell, Christian Teele, Pete Sommers, Charles Lee, Bijou Barbosa, Rashid Collins, Reed McRoberts, Lee Trees, Darren Kramer, John Armstrong, Eric Deutsch, Orvin Thompson, Fatima, Jane Simms, George Cables, Carmen Lundy, Linda Lawson, Jeff Jenkins, Mike Marlier, Brad Goode, John Gunther, Nelson Hinds, Mitch Chmara, Paul Romaine, Zach Littlefield, Tony Selvage, Aaron Stone, Christopher Thomas, Patty Greer, Buddy Red Bow, Frank Serafine, Jac Murphy, Terry James, Mike Miller, Paul Vastola, Bernard Grant, Suzi Nelson, Sue Garmany, Mende Stirling, Tom Howard, Alan Westrop, Gene Rush, Julie Churchill, Gabrielle Silva, Don Gorder, Chuck Schneider, Dick McGee, Gene Rueff, Joe Farrell, Robbie Chamberlin, Al Campbell, Blake Teach, Steve Strzepek, Jim Oates, Bob Funk, Bob Burnham, Walt Fowler, Steve Fowler, Al Wing and Ernie Carlson.

Born in 1941, Purnell Steen grew up in Denver as a student of classical piano and part of a musical dynasty, with cousins including 5-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist Dianne Reeves; keyboardist, composer and producer George Duke; saxophonist Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson; and legendary bassist Charlie Burrell. Between the 1920s and 1950s, the Five Points neighborhood was a sanctuary for the African American community and the heart of Denver’s thriving jazz community, with over fifty bars and clubs playing host to local players and all the greats, from Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday to Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. Jack Kerouac called the cultural and entertainment mecca the “Harlem of the West.” For nearly 40 years, with his bands Le Jazz Machine and the Five Points Ambassadors, Steen has been a favorite on the Denver scene, dedicated to preserving and playing the “Five Points style” of jazz at clubs and festivals. In September 2022, the Ambassadors toured Denver’s sister city, Brest, France, as part of a cultural exchange. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Doug Kauffman cofounded Nobody in 1987 and became a fixture in the Denver music industry, promoting concerts by emerging alternative rock acts as well as jazz, folk, rock and blues artists. He rented and then bought Englewood’s Gothic Theatre, and in the early Nineties, to save the Ogden Theatre from demolition, he purchased it with a loan from the City of Denver and turned it back into a live music venue. He then partnered to control concert promotion access to the Bluebird Theater as well. NIPP grew into a 25-person company, promoting concerts at numerous music venues in Denver, from Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Pepsi Center to the Denver Botanic Gardens and the Lion’s Lair, a small dive bar. In 2001, NIPP filed a lawsuit alleging antitrust violations against Clear Channel Entertainment, one of the largest radio and entertainment conglomerates in the world, claiming Clear Channel muscled artists into turning over promotion of their concerts rather than risk losing airplay and promotional support on the five local radio stations owned by Clear Channel. The lawsuit was settled three years later; Kauffman was pleased with the agreement, which many saw as a clear victory for independent concert promoters. Learn more about your ad choices.

Based in Boulder, Rare Silk—originally a female trio consisting of sisters MaryLynn and Gayle Gillaspie and Marguerite Juenemann—started out revisiting tunes from the swing era of the late ’30s and early ’40s. At the 1978 inception of KGNU, a Boulder community radio station, they created a regular public access show. The three got their break in 1980 when they opened for Benny Goodman, “the King of Swing,” at Macky Auditorium in Boulder. Goodman fell in love with the girls’ tight, precisely harmonized material and asked them to accompany his tour. Joined by male vocalist Todd Buffa, the innovative ensemble then began modernizing its approach with stylistic versions of Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea songs. An A&R exec at PolyGram Records soon heard Rare Silk’s sound, and the group’s debut album, New Weave, made its way to #2 on Billboard’s Jazz Albums chart. It was nominated for Best Jazz Vocal - Duo or Group at the 1984 Grammy Awards, and Buffa was nominated in the Arrangement - Two or More Voices category. Juenemann was replaced by Barbara Reeves, then Jamie Broumas. Rare Silk recorded two albums on the Palo Alto label and toured perpetually, winning over audiences with perfected harmonies, choreographed sequences and a diverse mixture of material. The group disbanded in 1988. MaryLynn Gillaspie returned to singing circa 2011 and released Secret Language, her solo CD produced by Kip Kuepper, in 2022. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sean Kelly moved from Vermont to Boulder in 1987 and started the Samples, quickly becoming a fixture on local club stages and building a grassroots network of fans across the country. Known for his striking voice and original songs that mixed rock, reggae and folk, the Samples put Colorado on the musical map as a popular and talented touring band. The group was also busy in the studio over the decades, recording more than 15 albums ranging from major-label experiences to their own independent releases. Kelly has fronted different iterations of the Samples over the decades; when not touring with the latest lineup, he plays his songs acoustically.
