[Description]

From the Soundboard is a show that focuses on concerts regardless of genre. Artist and/or group perfecting the art of “call and response” with its audience. On Wednesday, March 6 in honor of Women History Month we will focus on the First Ladies of Funk, Labelle.

“The female trio responsible for the proto-disco funk classic “Lady Marmalade,” LaBelle’s outlandish space-age costumes and brash incorporation of rock & roll were a far cry from their early days as a typical ’60s girl group, not to mention the later solo career of frontwoman Patti LaBelle. While Patti naturally seems like the focal point in hindsight, the group was also blessed with a talented and prolific songwriter in Nona Hendryx, who followed an idiosyncratic muse into her own mercurial solo career, which often bordered on the avant-garde.” [Steve Huey - All Music Guide]

From the Soundboard is a show that focuses on concerts regardless of genre. Artist and/or group perfecting the art of “call and response” with its audience. On Wednesday, January 23, we will focus on one of Martin Luther King’s favorite artist, shewas known worldwide as the “Queen of Gospel,” Mahalia Jackson.

“General critical consensus holds Mahalia Jackson as the greatest gospel singer ever to live; a major crossover success whose popularity extended across racial divides, she was gospel’s first superstar, and even decades after her death remains, for many listeners, a defining symbol of the music’s transcendent power. With her singularly expressive contralto, Jackson continues to inspire the generations of vocalists who follow in her wake; among the first spiritual performers to introduce elements of blues into her music, she infused gospel with a sensuality and freedom it had never before experienced, and her artistry rewrote the rules forever.” [Jason Ankeny - All Music Guide]

“Shankar was not one-dimensional. Apart from pursuing a career as a classical performer, he also experimented outside this field. For this reason he has attracted criticism from purists. Some of this, especially during the Beatles era, undoubtedly had an element of jealousy to it, and some was certainly warranted, because Shankar did take many chances. In fact, that was one of the things that kept his music exciting.” [Ken Hunt- AMG]

From the Soundboard – Ravi Shankar

From the Soundboard is a show that usually focuses on concerts regardless of genre. Artist and/or group perfecting the art of “call and response” with its audience. On Wednesday December 26 (Show #100) we’re gonna do something different.

In recognition of the devastating madness that happened in Newtown, CT, the continuing recovery efforts from Hurricane Sandy, the ongoing political standoff in Washington, DC and the countless of other real life stories where insanity trumps common sense, this show will be based on the theme, “Humanity can do better.” You will hear many songs from many artists in many genres. The common denominator will hopefully show that we are all human. If you are up, then tune in while I’ll get on my soapbox.
