["Nelson-Strauss, Brenda" <bnelsons@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The June issue of Black Grooves has now been posted at
www.blackgrooves.org.

 

We're celebrating Black Music Month as well as the first anniversary of
Black Grooves, and we've got a stellar line up of new releases and
reissues for you to check out. First, we're honoring the legendary Paul
Robeson with reviews of a new Smithsonian Folkways compilation as well
as the 4 DVD box set of his films recently issued by the Criterion
Collection. Next up is an overview of Lost Sounds: Black and the Birth
of the Recording Industry, 1890-1918, the companion CD to the book of
the same title (be sure to follow the link to a recent interview with
author/producer Tim Brooks). Other reissues include King Sunny Ade Gems
from the Classic Years and a new Nina Simone CD compilation and TLC
video compilation from Sony Legacy. On the classical side, we have an
overview of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's 24 Negro Melodies from Albany
featuring David Shaffer-Gottschalk at the piano. Rounding out our
anniversary issue are the latest releases from Chicago's favorite female
blues singer Koko Taylor, Dayton Ohio native Little Axe,
soul-turned-country singer Soloman Burke, and gospel artist Euclid Gray.


 

We hope you enjoy the June 2007 issue of Black Grooves. Please forward
this message to your friends and colleagues, and be sure to contact us
