The Shook/Russo 5tet has been performing together since 2005 in the mid-Atlantic region. Their focus has always been to compose and perform their own original music within the jazz idiom, honoring the masters by carrying on the tradition. Be it through blues, swing, bebop, soul jazz, or more modern funk and groove, the group has developed an incredible and unique sound by merging the diverse backgrounds of each of these fine musicians into one voice. The result is a whirlwind of grooves, melodies, and diverse textures that are a true delight to hear. Collectively, the members of the Shook/Russo 5tet have performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as performed in Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean and at festivals such as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival, the Stan Getz Jazz Festival, the East Coast Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and the Telluride Jazz Festival, the Wall Street Jazz Festival and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival to name a few. They currently have two CDs out on Summit Records, and will be releasing a new album later this year, featuring all new music by members of the band.

“Ships without Souls”, by R. Glenn Wright, PhD
Abstract: Unmanned and autonomous ships are quickly becoming a reality in an effort to make shipping safer and more efficient. However, traditional lines based upon function and scale become blurred as new technology changes how the unique needs of different sectors are met. In addition to large vessels dedicated to the transport of goods and cargos across the oceans, major efforts are underway towards automation of small coastal shipping that includes ferries, tugboats, supply and service vessels and barges. Further innovation is taking place in automated vessels replacing conventional ships for inspecting and servicing pipelines, drilling platforms, wind farms and other offshore installations. This presentation will describe many of the changes that are taking place in automation and its potential effects on the Maritime and related industries.
About the Speaker: R. Glenn Wright is the President of GMATEK, Inc. in Annapolis, MD and has 40 years experience in research and the development of sensor-based systems for maritime, aeronautical and medical applications. He holds a PhD in Maritime Affairs from the World Maritime University in Malmö Sweden, a MS in Computer Science from the NYU Polytechnic Institute of New York, BS in Electrical Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Dr. Wright is a Master Mariner and operates a research vessel investigating meteorological, oceanographic and electromagnetic phenomena and the use of artificial intelligence for sensor analytics and to navigate and operate vessels. His upcoming book titled Unmanned and Autonomous Ships published by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC is planned for release in early 2020.
Hope you have relaxing enjoyable Holidays!
Cheers!
Tracy Gill and Andy Loftus
