Sahib Shihab (born Edmund Gregory; June 23, 1925, Savannah, Georgia – October 24, 1989, Nashville, Tennessee) was an Americanjazz and hard bop saxophonist (baritone, alto, and soprano) and flautist. He variously worked with Luther Henderson, Thelonious Monk, Fletcher Henderson, Tadd Dameron, and Dizzy Gillespie amongst others.^[1]

Biography[edit]

Edmund Gregory first played alto saxophone professionally for Luther Henderson at age 13^[2] and went on to study at the Boston Conservatory and to play with trumpeter Roy Eldridge. He played lead alto with Fletcher Henderson in the mid 1940s.

He was one of the first jazz musicians to convert to Islam and changed his name in 1947. During the late 1940s, Shihab played with Thelonious Monk and on July 23, 1951 he recorded with Monk for the Lp Genius of Modern Music: Volume 2. During this period, he also appeared on recordings by Art Blakey, Kenny Dorham and Benny Golson. The invitation to play with Dizzy Gillespie's big band in the early 1950s was of particular significance as it marked Shihab's switch to baritone.

On August 12, 1958, Shihab was one of the musicians photographed by Art Kane in his famous photograph known as 'A Great Day in Harlem'. In 1959, he toured Europe with Quincy Jones after getting disillusioned with racial politics in United States and ultimately settled in Scandinavia. He worked for Copenhagen Polytechnic and wrote scores for television, cinema and theatre.

In 1961, he joined the Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band and remained a member of the band for the 12 years it existed. He married a Danish woman and raised a family in Europe, although he remained a conscious African-American still sensitive to racial issues.

In the Eurovision Song Contest 1966, Shihab accompanied Lill Lindfors and Svante Thuresson on stage for the Swedish entry 'Nygammal Vals'.

In 1973, Shihab returned to the United States for a three-year hiatus, working as a session man for rock and pop artists and also doing some copy writing for local musicians. He spent his remaining years between New York and Europe and played in a partnership with Art Farmer.^[3]

From 1985-86, Shihab was a visiting artist at Rutgers University.^[4]

Shihab died October 24, 1989, in Nashville, Tennessee, United States, aged 64.^[1]

Who is looking out for the frogs, turtles, songbirds and other critters on Sauvie Island? We are!

This isn’t a membership organization, so there are no dues to pay or donations to be solicited. But if you want to get involved, volunteer or just be kept informed, send a note and your email address to sauviehabitats@gmail.com, and we’ll let you know when things are happening.

Current SIHAB projects include

The Sauvie Island/Multnomah Channel Conservation Resource Guide

The Sauvie Island/Multnomah Channel Conservation Resource Guide has 100+ pages of information on plants, animals, habitats, soil, hydrology, etc. and many ideas for improving habitats and conditions for wildlife on the island and in the Multnomah Channel Bottomlands. It was a joint project of the Sauvie Island Habitat Partnership, the West Multnomah Conservation District, the Scappoose Bay Watershed Council.

Sauvie Pond Project

Experts discuss how to create dragonfly habitat on Sauvie ponds.

10 ponds on private land have been targeted for habitat restoration by SIHAB. Turtle, amphibian egg mass and aquatic invertebrate surveys have been done on each pond, as well as assessment of current aquatic, riparian and upland plants. A team of technical experts visited each of the ponds in summer 2013 and made recommendations on how to improve the habitat for a variety of species. We’ll be implementating the recommendations over the next few years.

Sauvie Prairie Project

Students from Sauvie Island Academy planted wildflowers on Oak Island

Meadow wildflowers are being propagated by SIHAB for grassland restoration on three sites on Oregon State Parks and ODFW land on the island. Some planting was done in Spring 2012 and a larger planting was done in Fall 2013. At this point, we are experimenting with small plots to see which plants thrive with minimal care. Students from Sauvie Island Academy assisted with planting and will be monitoring to see how plants hold up to cattle and goose grazing and management practices.

Partners: Oregon State Parks, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Scappoose Bay Watershed Council and Sauvie Island Academy.

Sauvie Osprey Project

Ospreys have made a great comeback on Sauvie. As they run out of ideal nesting sites, some built have attemped to build nests on power poles. This isn’t good for them, since they can get electrocuted, or for PGE and Sauvie Residents, since it can cause power outages. In summer 2012, SIHAB GPS’ed and monitored osprey nests on parts of the island that have power poles to see at what intervals ospreys were nesting. We then helped secure landowner permission so that PGE could erect five new nesting platforms in appropriate locations. Monitoring will continue in subsequent years.

Partners: PGE, Audubon Society of Portland and ODFW.
West Multnomah Conservation District supplied funds to build 11 turtle basking for Sauvie ponds and canals.

Sauvie Turtle Project

Western painted turtles live in the canals, ponds and lakes on the island. SIHAB conducted turtle surveys on non-ODFW lands on the island in 2102 with a grant from WMSWCD and the help of numerous volunteers. ODFW lands were not included in this project since they had been previously surveyed. In summer 2013, SIHAB constructed and placed 11 turtle basking rafts around the island.

Partners: WMSCD and Sauvie Island Drainage Improvement Co. WMSWCD provided funding.

Sauvie Plant List Project

Sauvie Island has been a “stomping ground” for botanists since the 1800s, and is well represented in Oregon herbariums. Using these records, as well as lists developed by credentialed botanists for ODFW and Oregon State Parks lands, SIHAB is assembling a list of plants that historically and currently occur/red on the island. The list can be used by agencies, private contractors and landowners involved in habitat restoration.

Partners: The Wetlands Conservancy, Oregon Flora Project, PSU Institute for Natural Resources, WMSWCD

Sauvie Aquatic Plant Surveys

Volunteer botanists from the Native Plant Society of Oregon pulled on waders and searched Sauvie ponds and wetlands for rare aquatic plants.

This started as a search on the island for Howellia aquatilis, a federally-listed aquatic plant that was new to the botanical world when noted botanist Thomas Howell discovered it in his Sauvie pond in 1879. We didn’t find Howellia, but we did find a number of other rare species, and we now have a much better idea of what plants inhabit water bodies on all parts of the island.

Gilbert River Demonstration Project

The Sauvie Island Drainage Improvement Company has easements along the island’s drainage/irrigation canals, and has traditionally asked that these be kept free of trees and shrubs to facilitate routine maintenance and dredging. SIHAB and the West Multnomah Conservation District have done three experimental plantings with several test plots to show alternative possibilities for wildlife corridor plantings that could make the canals better habitat for a variety of species.

Sauvies Island Grange Forest Restoration

Triumphant volunteers celebrate after a successful day of removing ivy at the Grange Forest

The 2-acre forest next to and belonging to the Sauvies Island Grange was so infested with ivy that grange members were considering clear-cutting as a solution. In January, 2011 SIHAB organized volunteers and began ivy removal. A grant from WMSWCD provided funds for spraying of some areas of ground ivy, once volunteers had killed tree ivy and removed most of the ground ivy. 48 volunteers provided nearly 500 volunteer hours on this project. We planted a few native plants, but were mostly astonished by the resiliency of the native plants, which must have been lying in wait for decades for the opportunity to make a comeback. We continue to monitor the forest and remove re-sprouting ivy.

Partners: WMSWCD, Sauvies Island Grange, SOLV.

Sauvie Ivy Removal Project

One of the largest ivy vines we’ve seen on the island prepares to die at the hands of a SIHAB volunteer.

Our success with the Grange Forest led to ivy removal efforts all over the island. We developed a spreadsheet listing 38 infestations with information about the extent of the infestation, and ownership of the properties, and with a column for the status of treatment efforts. Volunteers treated most of the areas, but WMSCD brought in paid crews for a few of the larger infestations and ODFW sent spray crews into infestations on their property after volunteers had killed tree ivy. In addition to ivy removal, there has been an education campaign, including presentations at island meetings and bulletins in the Sauvie Newslinks to alert island residents to the evils of ivy, to ask for their assistance in spotting ivy that needs to be treated and to recruit volunteers. At this point, nearly all known tree ivy on the island has been killed and we are monitoring for recurrence and for previously un-noticed vines.

Sauvie Hedgerow Project

A crew plants native shrubs and small trees as part of the Sauvie Hedgerow Project.

Hedgerows of native shrubs and small trees were planted on 12 private properties on the island to provide habitat for pollinators, songbirds and other species. A grant from WMSWCD FISH program provided funds for plants and crews to plant them. Landowners matched grant funds with hours spent on weeding and watering plants.

Partners: Sauvie private landowners, WMSWCD

Sauvie Landowner Education

Much of the wildlife habitat on the island is in the hands of private landowners, and many landowners are interested and enthusiastic about enhancing habitat for songbirds, turtles, frogs and other species. SIHAB writes articles on native and invasive plants and animals and habitat restoration for the Sauvie Island Newslinks and has given presentations at Sauvie Island Community Association and Sauvies Island Grange meetings. An evening class on Sauvie Island Native Plants was offered in July 2013.

Partners: WMSWCD, Sauvie Island Community Association

The Sauvie Island Habitat Partnership has an unpaid director and is loosely governed by representatives of The Partners, who hail from various organizations that are involve in or have a stake in habitat work on the island. These include:

• West Multnomah Conservation District
• OR Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW)
• OR State Parks
• The Wetlands Conservancy
• Sauvie Island Drainage Improvement Company
• Audubon Society of Portland
• National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS)

The mission of the Partnership is conservation and restoration of Sauvie Island habitats and species.Partners include agencies that own or manage public land on the island, agencies that provide resources and technical assistance for island conservation projects, Sauvie Island organizations and island landowners and businesses, particularly those who are actively restoring habitats on their property. The partnership exists to

• Identify and prioritize island habitat conservation priorities
• Assemble and share information, expertise, contacts and resources
• Seek grants and other funding for priority project.
• Marshall volunteers for invasive species removal, habitat restoration and monitoring
• Involve landowners in opportunities for habitat conservation on their property

The partners recognize the importance of agricultural resources on the Island and are not advocating for conversion of farmland to habitat. The organization is not involved in political advocacy.
