SUMMARY:Chuck Berry: An American Life - Discussion and Book Signing with author RJ Smith
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this special event with Chuck Berry biographer RJ Smith. \n\n\n\nIn Chuck Berry\, biographer RJ Smith crafts a comprehensive portrait of one of the great American entertainers\, guitarists\, and lyricists of the 20th century\, bringing Chuck Berry to life in vivid detail. Based on interviews\, archival research\, legal documents\, and a deep understanding of Berry’s St. Louis (his birthplace\, and the place where he died in March 2017)\, Smith sheds new light on a man few have ever really understood\, even though he was the creator of some of the most indelible songs in history like :Johnny B. Good\,” “Maybellene\,” and “Roll Over Beethoven.” \n\n\n\nBy placing his life within the context of the American culture he made and eventually withdrew from\, we understand how Berry became such a groundbreaking figure in music\, erasing racial boundaries\, crafting subtle political commentary\, and paying a great price for his success. While celebrating his accomplishments\, the book also does not shy away from troubling aspects of his public and private life\, asking profound questions about how and why we separate the art from the artist.

SUMMARY:A Celebration of Duane Allman & King Curtis
DESCRIPTION:Conversation\, listening session\, and book signing with authors Bob Beatty and Timothy Hoover \n\n\n\nOne of the greatest collaborations of the late 1960s was between King Curtis Ousley\, the R&B saxophone master\, and Duane Allman\, the slide guitar prodigy whose musical vision transcended genre. Their paths crossed when both were highly sought-after sessions musicians for Atlantic Records. Both Southerners – Ousley from Texas\, Allman from Florida – these artists looked at music as a space for collaboration\, and as a blank canvas to express what lie deep in their souls. Sadly\, Ousley and Allman died within two months each other in 1971 just as both were experiencing the greatest success of their careers. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this special conversation with authors Bob Beatty (Play All Night: Duane Allman and the Journey to the Fillmore East) and Timothy Hoover (Soul Serenade: King Curtis and His Immortal Saxophone) who will discuss each artist’s significance\, their collaborations in the studio and on stage\, and select recordings that best highlight each artist’s true genius. \n\n\n\nHeld at the Memphis Listening Lab at Crosstown Concourse\, 2nd Floor; 1350 Concourse Ave.

SUMMARY:Les Paul Thru the Lens
DESCRIPTION:Les Paul Thru the Lens explores the life of pioneering musician and innovator Les Paul. Through a series of 24 photographs\, visitors will see a chronicle of Paul’s life\, career\, and achievements: his early performances as Red Hot Red\, his marriage to and work with Mary Ford\, his explorations in the recording studio and with the electric guitar\, and of course his long and influential performing career. Collectively\, the images provide an intimate view into the life of an icon of the music and sound products industry and remind us that\, through it all\, music—and the industry—are inseparable from the people who make it. \n\n\n\nIn the photo at left: In January 1952\, “Tiger Rag” hit the charts for Les Paul and his wife Mary Ford. It was one of the first recordings where Mary and Les used the new Gibson solid body electric guitars instead of the klunker guitars. Capitol Records arranged this publicity photo with a Hollywood tiger. Les relayed that Mary was terrified of the tiger.

SUMMARY:The Meaning of Soul with Author Emily Lordi
DESCRIPTION:Lecture and discussion with author Emily Lordi and Edwin Mims\, Professor of English\, Vanderbilt University \n\n\n\nFree Admission \n\n\n\nIn The Meaning of Soul\, Emily J. Lordi proposes a new understanding of this famously elusive concept. In the 1960s\, Lordi argues\, soul came to signify a cultural belief in black resilience\, which was enacted through musical practices—inventive cover versions\, falsetto vocals\, ad-libs\, and false endings. Through these soul techniques\, artists such as Aretha Franklin\, Donny Hathaway\, Nina Simone\, Marvin Gaye\, Isaac Hayes\, and Minnie Riperton performed virtuosic survivorship and thus helped to galvanize Black communities in an era of peril and promise. Lordi offers a vision of soul that foregrounds the intricacies of musical craft\, the complex personal and social meanings of the music\, the dynamic movement of soul across time\, and the leading role played by black women in this musical-intellectual tradition.

SUMMARY:An Evening with The 24-Carat Black features listening party and discussion with original members
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion and listening session with original band members Princess Hearn\, Jerome Derrickson\, C. Niambi Steele\, and Zach Schoenfeld \n\n\n\nIn 1973\, Enterprise Records\, a subsidiary released a landmark LP that would\, over time\, help change the face of Black music. The 24-Carat Black\, a group of more than a dozen young musicians from Cincinnati\, and their producer\, Dale Warren\, created Ghetto: Misfortune’s Wealth\, a genre-bending\, orchestral soul masterpiece that\, due to Stax’s financial troubles\, never received the support it needed to gain listeners. Fast forward 20 years to the 1990s: hip-hop DJs have discovered the deep grooves\, powerful vocals\, and pointed political commentary and sampled it for their own recordings. Since then\, Kendrick Lamar\, Jay-Z\, Digable Planets\, and many more have sampled The 24-Carat Black. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a roundtable discussion with three former band members – Princess Hearn\, Jerome Derrickson\, and C. Niambi Steele – and author Zach Schoenfeld\, who wrote the definitive biography of the band for the University of Texas Press’ 33 1/3 series.
