Last Friday night the rains came to the Hamptons, but they could not stop the first annual Furman Jazz Fling to benefit Jazz at Lincoln Center, from going full swing!  A Who's Who of the Hampton’s scene joined hosts Victoria Moran Furman and Jay Furman (Jazz at Lincoln Center Board member) at their Southampton home for a joyful event complete with a performance by the jazz king himself, Wynton Marsalis. Enjoying the glorious décor by David Beahm and food by Taste Caterers were Jojo Cohen and Eric Moran playing host to the younger crowd.  Jazz at Lincoln Center Board members came out to enjoy the night, including Shahara Ahmad-Lewellyn, Janice and Bob Burns, Alan and Betsy Cohn, Gordon and Peggy Davis, Michael Fricklas and Donna Astion, Keith Reinhard and Rose-Lee Reinhard, and Ashley Schiff. The polo crowd was there with Jazz at Lincoln Center Board member and by the stunning poloist and “Jazz” supporter Ms, Schiff, with Delfina and Nacho Figueras -- whose sister Mercedes Figueras sat in late night with Marsalis and members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (Dan Nimmer, Walter Blanding, Carlos Henriquez and Ali Jackson with vocalist Sachal Vasandani) playing her sax and keeping time with the band.  Peter Brant and Stephanie Seymour, Andrea and Maurice DuBois were also seen swinging to the music.

Oceana, the largest international organization focused solely on protecting the world’s oceans, hosted a reception and an exclusive preview of a maritime art exhibit at Christie’s New York.  The event showcased items such as oil paintings, watercolors, prints, antique ship fittings, carvings, figureheads, instruments, models and ephemera.   Silent auction items were donated by Abaco Beach Resort & Boat Harbour, Martha Stewart, Tiffany & Co., TOUS® and West 57th Street by Hilton Club. All proceeds from this high-class event, sponsored by Blue Fish Estate Bottled Wines, benefited the marine conservation efforts of Oceana.  Oceana’s work is becoming increasingly important as scientists now predict that our seafood supply could collapse before the middle of the century if excessive catches of ocean species continue at current rates.  A report by an international team of marine scientists, published in the journal Science (November 3rd, 2006),found that catches of 29 percent of wild populations of seafood have already dropped to less than 10 percent of their historic maximum.   Oceana CEO, Andrew Sharpless, made a special presentation on Oceana’s critical work to protect the oceans for future generations. To reverse the declining health of the world’s oceans, Oceana’s team of marine scientists, economists, lawyers and advocates focus on specific and concrete policy changes.  Oceana’s campaigns seek to protect essential ocean habitat such as corals from destruction by bottom trawling; reduce the accidental killing of marine wildlife as by catch from industrial scale commercial fishing; reduce fish contamination from mercury pollution; and eliminate government subsidies that promote over-fishing.
