  • Bio

    In 1978, Thom and Lorry Gambino founded THE UMANO ORCHESTRA, a 26-piece jazz-rock ensemble which utilized many cross-cultural musical influences. They also formed THE UMANO FOUNDATION, a non-profit, tax-exempt institution which fosters the establishment of a World Federation under real, enforced international law. The Umano Orchestra and Foundation were named after Gaetano Meale, an Italian judge who came into his own at the turn of the 20th century. His tireless work in cross-cultural studies and the feasability of a World Center of Communications were explained in his 1912 book entitled "Essay on the International Constitution." Judge Meale's pen name was UMANO, Italian for human being. His concepts were first introduced to Thom & Lorry when they (by chance) found a book by legendary journalist Lilian T. Mowrer entitled "Umano and the Price of Lasting Peace." They contacted the elderly Mrs. Mowrer and began The Umano Foundation with her. The Gambinos carry the torch for her and Judge Meale's dreams to this day. The orchestra also embodied Umano's concept. It was a group of men and women from many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and the music reflected that. The music has a unique and mesmerizing blend of power that can either hypnotize you with its beauty or make you sit up and feel its explosive groove. Enjoy!

    While I didn't win a prize in the 20th Annual Writer's Digest Self Published Awards, I did receive this commentary from the judge who read "TheVagabonds: A Musician's Odyssey." "Congratulations on writing and publishing your book! The cover design and packaging are very polished and professional. You have written an incredible, immense story, full of specific details and description that make the scenes come alive for the reader. Your story should appeal to anyone interested in this time period and/or music. You have a good mix of action, dialogue, and narration and the book has a lively pace throughout. Good job with grammar, proofreading, and formatting of the interior of the book."

    Jazz & Blues Florida is bailing out of MySpace and focusing on our own websites and we invite you to come join us there. As Florida's source of info on live jazz and blues we want to stay connected with you, either to post your gigs to our listings if you are a musician, or to let you know what is happening if you are listener.  Check out our main site at www.JazzBluesFlorida.com. You know the value of these connections and that nowadays providing that connection is your contribution to what keeps us going, like the money you used to spend on newspapers.  We will be deleting your MySpace connection after we post this.  See you on the other side, where the good music is happening!
