6 Cherokee Town Club This year, the Society is proud to hold its Annual Dinner at the Cherokee Town Club. Chartered in 1956, the Cherokee Town Club recognized as one of America s premier private clubs with a membership by invitation only. Cherokee held its first general business meeting on January 31, 1956, at the old Erlanger Theater, originally an opera house built in the 1920s on Peachtree Street near North Avenue. On October 13, 1956, members were able to hold their first official social function, a brunch, preceding a Georgia Tech football game, in the building known today as the Town Club. Their first formal dinner dance took place on December 8, 1956, in the original ballroom of the Grant Estate, now the Town Club s expansive Main Lounge. The Cherokee Town Club has undergone several major expansions over the years, the last being in 2008/2009 which added another 25,000 square feet to the existing building. Cherokee, in 1997, was named the very best private country club in America in an inaugural poll of thousands of leaders in private club management. Cherokee was honored by the Club Leaders Forum by earning this mark of distinction in 2000, 2003, 2006, and again in March of The excellence of Cherokee s facilities, combined with its commitment to the highest standards in dining and member services along with their long standing tradition of southern hospitality, has brought the club an extraordinary number of honors and awards throughout the years.

7 Senri Oe A New York Resident for the past decade, Senri Oe is making a name for himself as an innovative, engaged and highly creative member of the jazz community. Though he has proved his skill as a songwriter, pianist, singer and more, he prefers to describe himself as a jazz musician who loves to write music as well as perform on piano. In the four jazz albums Senri has released as a leader since 2012, he s shown himsef to be versatile and adventurous, exploring different facets of jazz with each CD. From a two-horn quintet (Boys Mature Slow, His 2012 Stateside Debut) to a full big band (2013 s Spooky Hotel) to a straightahead trio (Collective Scribble, 2015) to a vocal showcase (2016 s Answer July, featuring the likes of Sheila Jordan, Theo Bleckmann, Becca Stevens and Lauren Kinham of New York Voices), Senri makes it clear he s comfortable in a variety of configurations. The albums have been well-received in both the U.S. and Senri s native Japan, earning glowing reviews in jazz magazine and on blogs.
