From the Soundboard is a show that focuses on concerts regardless of genre. Artists and/or groups perfecting the art of “call and response” with its audience. On Wednesday, December14 we will focus on the Newark, NJ’s native that was known as “the Divine One,” Sarah Vaughan.

“Possessor of one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century, Sarah Vaughan ranked with Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday in the very top echelon of female jazz singers. She often gave the impression that with her wide range, perfectly controlled vibrato, and wide expressive abilities, she could do anything she wanted with her voice. Sarah Vaughan’s legacy as a performer and a recording artist will be very difficult to match in the future.” Scott Yanow [All Music Guide]

It’s always nice to be able to pass along awesome posts like this one!  The flyer says a lot; and also opens up a giant “can of worms” regarding the topic of DVS (Serato, Traktor, Torq, etc.) DJs.  We love it all over here and have been floored by the recent advances in DVS technology.  We also like a good debate.  Be on the lookout for some hands-on reviews in the very near future!   –Editors

Good Day to you,

On Thursday, November 17th, 2011 DJMellStarr (a “Master of The Mix” DJ Contestant sponsored by Smirnoff) will be hosting his 3rd annual DJ Showcase at Rock & Soul Dj Equipment & Records Store (located at 462 7th avenue between 35th & 36th Street), one of the first and oldest record shops in the world. After more than 35 years in business, Rock & Soul has become the most famous for serving some of the biggest names in the DJ/music world such as Q-Tip, Black Moon, Nas, Naughty by Nature and Kid Capri. They carry the world’s largest selection of hip hop, R&B, Rock, Reggae, Dance and Classics on vinyl. These are the reasons why DJ Mell Starr chooses to hold his annual events at this special and iconic venue.

It is proposed that On Thursday, November 17th 200 to 300 guests and 15 hand picked Dj’s will attend the “All Vinyl DJ Showcase” that begins at 2pm and ends promptly at 7pm. The Showcase will display the skills and techniques of a Turntablist which include but are not limited to beat mixing/matching, scratching and beat juggling to manipulate sounds and create music. This event is not a competition but, a friendly gathering to see who has developed the fastest, most innovative/creative techniques while using upscale equipment.

This is a Free event.  I have attached two flyer’s for informational purposes to be displayed.  Please post or forward this flyer via email as you see fit.  We appreciate your patronage and look forward to seeing you on November 17th.  ….Don’t forget to mention DJ Mell Starr’s name for a store discount on all purchases and remember to bring your camera’s!!!

“Santana is the primary exponent of Latin-tinged rock, particularly due to its combination of Latin percussion (congas, timbales, etc.) with bandleader Carlos Santana’s distinctive, high-pitched lead guitar playing. The group was the last major act to emerge from the psychedelic San Francisco music scene of the 1960s and it enjoyed massive success at the end of the decade and into the early ’70s.” William Ruhlmann [All Music Guide]

“In the history of the blues, there has never been anyone quite like the Howlin’ Wolf. Six foot three and close to 300 pounds in his salad days, the Wolf was the primal force of the music spun out to its ultimate conclusion. No one could match him for the singular ability to rock the house down to the foundation while simultaneously scaring its patrons out of its wits.” Cub Koda [All Music Guide]

On Wednesday July 27, will be a pitch show. That means that the loyal listeners of WBAI must spread love monetarily. I will try to entice y’all by offering DVD and tickets to a upcoming performance by one of Funk’s most versatile band. They are Mandrill.

“Mandrill’s jam-heavy brand of funk was liberally infused with Latin, Caribbean, and jazz influences, plus blues, psychedelia, African music, and straight-up rock. Their freewheeling approach was a definite influence on the Parliament-Funkadelic collective (an early incarnation of which actually served as their opening act), and their grooves have been sampled by numerous hip-hop acts in modern days.” Steve Huey [All Music Guide]
