A. Brown High School\, Burke High School\, Courtney Middle School\, and the Jenkins Orphanage. While at C.A. Brown High School\, the school’s musical production of Hello Dolly (1970) was the first to sell every seat at Charleston’s Gaillard Auditorium for three performances. \nKenny has performed as bass violinist for the Ebony Fashion Fair for several years and with such musical greats as Lou Rawls\, Teddy Pendergrass\, and Dizzy Gillespie.  He has also performed for the Piccolo Spoleto Festival\, MOJA Arts Festival\, and with most of the jazz musicians in the Charleston area. Currently\, Mr. Kenny plays with the Davis Archer Band at major hotels and island resorts and is the director of the Melody Chimes Ensemble at Calvary Episcopal Church in Charleston.  He has been featured in two motion picture films — The Notebook and Consenting Adults. \nCJI’s Jack McCray lists him in his 2007 book\, Charleston Jazz.  He performed with CJI’s Legends Band in 2010 and is featured on its first CD recording.  Kenny prefers to be called a “Good Sideman” as his ensemble career has spanned over 50 years. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”20066″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”16220″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1692980766575{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nIMPORTANT INFORMATION\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”Venue + Parking” tab_id=”1687723528215-f19b02d2-f471″][vc_gmaps link=”#E-8_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” css=””][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1721659570368{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Venue: \nThe American Theater \n446 King St.\, Charleston\, SC 29403 \n  \nParking: \nVisitor Center Garage: 63 Mary St.\, Charleston\, SC 29403 \nVisitor Center Parking Lot: 375 Meeting St.\, Charleston SC 29403[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Dress Code” tab_id=”1692982417601-992dd3f6-cb6b”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1715107448321{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Cocktail Attire \nHats and fascinators are encouraged as a special tribute to our Co-Founder\, Jack McCray\, and his famous hats.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Accessibility” tab_id=”1687724312025-f57a013d-e1d1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1714420079785{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]For any questions about accessibility\, contact the Box Office: jazz@charlestonjazz.com 843-641-0011[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1692980601668{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nSee you there!\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

While his musical repertoire spans a broad range of styles\, he says that growing up in the African American church in Charleston\, SC\, has greatly influenced him. In an interview with the Post and Courier\, Doctor says: \n“I grew up playing in church\, and that experience is easily the No. 1 influence on me as a musician. Playing in church taught me how to adapt on the spot\, how to play with a band\, and how to follow a leader\, among infinite other things. Growing up in the African-American church in Charleston\, though\, has shaped me in the Gullah/Geechee style of music and culture. Everything I play\, no matter the genre\, roots back to that for me because that’s a part of who I am.”  Source: Post and Courier \nA highly sought-after musician\, bandleader\, arranger\, and producer\, Doctor currently leads Charleston Jazz’s new electric jazz ensemble\, Momentum\, and is a favorite guest performer with the Charleston Jazz Orchestra. \nDemetrius attended the Charleston County School of Arts\, where he received numerous musical awards and recognitions for his work in piano and tuba. He went on to receive his B.A. in Music from the College of Charleston and later his M.A. in Music Technology from Coastal Carolina University. \nThe artist’s musical journey has given him the opportunity to work with gospel artists like Tye Tribbett\, Jonathan Nelson\, and Duranice Pace\, as well as jazz musicians like Fred Wesley and Freddy Cole. Demetrius has toured Italy\, Spain\, Croatia\, and the United States. \nDoctor currently serves as Minister of Music at Royal Baptist Church in North Charleston\, SC\, and sits on the board of Charleston Jazz. Doctor can be found playing in multiple venues and settings in and throughout the Charleston area. Outside of music\, Demetrius enjoys watching sports and spending time with his wife\, Corinthian\, their daughter\, Alani\, and their twin boys\, Weston and Dawson. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”17271″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1692982260509{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nTIP OF THE HAT AWARD\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1691012906791{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1692982269192{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nIn loving memory of our co-founder Jack\, McCray and his signature hats\,  we present the annual Tip of the Hat award.
