✦ Summertime is officially upon us, and there’s nothing better to help cool you off on hot Atlanta days than ice cream. City Lights Collective food contributors Akila McConnel and Chef Asata Reid know this well, and they’re taking us back to 1870 to learn the history of ice cream in our city. ✦ Praised by jazz legends Ramsey Lewis and Les McCann, Atlanta jazz pianist Joe Alterman has never been a gatekeeper. He knows that jazz is for everyone, and it’s not rocket science – in the words of Duke Ellington, “If it sounds good, it is good.” Now, Joe Alterman is lending his voice, wisdom, and impeccable taste to WABE listeners with a brand-new radio show, “The Upside of Jazz,” with the first episode airing July 12th at 7pm. He’ll also be performing live at Eddie’s Attic on July 10th. ✦ City Lights Collective member Shane Harrison spends his days at Arts ATL looking for cultural events to share with readers. He joins us weekly to share highlights, and today, his mix includes things to do even if you’re not one of the three hundred thousand Atlantans heading to Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Beyoncé’s four-night stand. ✦ Visual artist and music enthusiast Kosmo Vinyl bought his first LP when he was nine. He spent the next several decades immersed in music and began his professional career at London’s pioneering indie label, "Stiff Records." In 1979 Kosmo started working exclusively with "The Clash" and stayed by their side until the punk icons disbanded in 1986. Over the years, Kosmo's record collection became legendary, and in 2014, he began posting about his favorite releases on social media for his series, "Kosmo's Vinyl of the Week," and he joins us weekly to share the stories behind the records he treasures. This week he shares the history behind Mongo Santamaria’s version of “Fever.” ✦ City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode tells us about his recent visit to The Book Bird, an Avondale Estates nook, that sales physical books, and closes down so that you can open up.

Between 1911 and 1912, more than a dozen women were murdered on the streets of Atlanta.All were young, all were Black, and all were killed in a disturbingly similar fashion. Throats slashed, bodies left close to home, personal items untouched.At the time, police claimed they had no leads. Locals whispered of a serial killer - a theory the authorities were reluctant to accept. As panic grew, women changed their routines, and Black newspapers urged the public to stay alert. But the murders continued. This is the story of the man the press called The Atlanta Ripper - and the women whose lives were lost in a case that remains officially unsolved.Don't miss an episode—follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with us on social media @‌themondaynightrevue or email at themondaynightrevue@gmail.com.Explore our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

When vocalist ANAÏS RENO burst onto the scene in 2021 with her debut album, ‘Lovesome Thing: Anaïs Reno Sings Ellington & Strayhorn,' I had the distinct pleasure of featuring this young and talented  vocalist in Season 2-Episode 11. At the time,  listeners were delighted - and surprised - to learn that she had recorded it a year earlier when she was just 16 years old.  There have been a number of significant changes in the life of this noteworthy singer four years after releasing her debut recording. No doubt, people will be making even more comments about Anaïs' ability to interpret song lyrics with emotional depth, enhanced musical maturity, and style after discovering more about her latest release. She has, once again, tackled the Great American Songbook with her newest album, LADY OF THE LAVENDER MIST, the inspiration which began while taking a train ride and listening to the music of Duke Ellington.

Listen to the second episode in our three-part series exploring the music of Reunald Jones, a legendary Indiana trumpet player with deep connections to the Avenue scene.  During his remarkable career, Jones performed with the biggest stars in American music, including Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Sonny Rollins, Dinah Washington, Quincy Jones, and Nat King Cole. But he's best known for his work with Count Basie. Jones was a member of the Count Basie band from 1952, to 1957. During that time, he led the band's trumpet section, and he became known for playing the trumpet with one hand.  Jones was a member of Basie's orchestra during a high point with the band. During the years Jones played with Basie, the band played their first dates in Europe and recorded classic albums like “Live at Newport”, “April in Paris”, and “Basie in London”. Listen to this program for music featuring Reunald Jones' recordings with Count Basie.

Pendant une grande partie du XXe siècle, le jazz, cette musique libre, vibrante, imprévisible… était tout simplement interdit en Union soviétique.Pourquoi ? Revenons au début.Dans les années 1920, après la révolution bolchévique, l'URSS vit une courte période d'ouverture culturelle. Le jazz arrive alors à Moscou, porté par des musiciens curieux, et même soutenu un temps par le régime, qui y voit un art moderne, populaire, presque révolutionnaire.Mais très vite, les choses changent. Dans les années 1930, avec Staline au pouvoir, tout ce qui ne colle pas aux normes du "réalisme socialiste" devient suspect.Et le jazz, avec ses syncopes, son swing, son côté improvisé et indomptable, ne rentre pas dans les cases. Pire encore : il vient des États-Unis, la grande puissance capitaliste et ennemie idéologique.Staline déteste ce qu'il appelle la "musique dégénérée". Le jazz est accusé d'être "antirusse", "bourgeois", "décadent". On le surnomme même la "musique de la jungle". Les saxophones sont bannis, les orchestres de jazz dissous, les musiciens surveillés.Et cela empire après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En pleine guerre froide, écouter du jazz devient un acte de défiance politique. C'est être influencé par l'ennemi.Mais… la musique ne s'arrête pas.Malgré l'interdiction, le jazz continue de vivre en cachette. Dans les caves, les arrière-salles, les appartements privés, on joue du jazz clandestinement. On enregistre sur des radiographies médicales usagées — oui, sur des radios des poumons ! — qu'on appelle les "disques sur os", pour contourner la censure.Certains prennent tous les risques pour écouter des enregistrements de Duke Ellington ou Charlie Parker, captés illégalement sur les ondes occidentales.Et puis, dans les années 1960, le vent tourne un peu. Sous Khrouchtchev, une relative détente permet au jazz de ressortir timidement à la surface. Des festivals sont autorisés, des musiciens soviétiques comme Leonid Utyosov ou Igor Bril font revivre le genre, à leur manière.Mais le jazz ne sera jamais complètement libre en URSS. Il restera surveillé, encadré, soupçonné d'"américaniser" les esprits. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Listen to the first episode in our three-part series exploring the music of Reunald Jones, an important jazz trumpet player with deep connections to the Avenue neighborhood. During his legendary career, Jones performed with the biggest stars in American music, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Sonny Rollins, Dinah Washington, Quincy Jones, Nat King Cole and many others.  Jones was born in Indianapolis in 1922. Music was part of his family legacy, his father John Wesley Jones was a musician, and his cousin Roy Eldridge, was a famous jazz trumpet star. Jones' family had strong ties to the Avenue neighborhood. During the early 1900s, his father was a choral director for the Bethe A.M.E. church and a bandleader, for the Senate Avenue YMCA. In the 1930s, his sister, Louise Fields, was an editor for the Indianapolis Recorder.  After spending the first decade of his life in Indianapolis, Jones moved with his family to Muncie, Indiana. By age 15, Jones was playing trumpet in a local Muncie band that included Doc Wheeler on trombone. Wheeler became a star on the Avenue scene during the 1930s. In the early 1940s, Jones and Wheeler reunited for a series of recordings with Bluebird Records.  By age 20, Jones left Muncie to pursue a life in music. He performed with a variety of regional territory bands, including Speed Webb's Hoosier Melody Lads, where he had the chance to play with his cousin Roy Eldridge. By the mid 1930s, Jones was in New York, where he began his recording career.  Join us this week to hear Jones' early recordings with Mezz Mezzrow, Lil Hardin, Don Redman, Jimmie Lunceford and more.

Galveston Island's rich musical heritage produced three extraordinary African-American musicians who carried their island-inspired sounds to the world stage. Frederick Tillis, Louis "Blues Boy" Jones, and Richard "Notes" Williams all grew up in 1930s and 40s Galveston, where music spilled from dance halls, churches, and pavilions, shaping their musical identities before they ventured beyond the Gulf Coast.• Frederick "Baby" Tillis (1930-2020) began performing at age 12, earned a PhD in music composition, and bridged jazz with classical music• Tillis composed over 125 musical works, published 15 books of poetry, and devoted his life to mentoring young musicians• Louis "Blues Boy" Jones (1931-1984) learned singing in church choirs before working at pioneering Black-owned Peacock Records• Jones performed alongside Otis Redding and gained international recognition, though his legacy was nearly forgotten until his recordings resurfaced decades later• Richard "Notes" Williams (1931-1985) mastered the trumpet and performed with jazz legends like Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus• All three musicians served in the military during the Korean War period, with both Tillis and Williams directing military bands• Their stories reveal how Galveston wasn't just a backdrop for music but a launchpad for extraordinary musical careers• Galveston continues its musical tradition today through venues like Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe and the Grand 1894 Opera HouseGalveston Unscripted What is Galveston Unscripted?Follow Galveston Unscripted on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

In today's episode, we're joined by the powerhouse that is Edwina Findley Dickerson—an award-winning actress, author, and all-around force of nature. From her early days training at Duke Ellington, Tisch, and Yale to her breakout role on The Wire, Edwina has carved out a career grounded in purpose, vision, and faith. She shares how a seemingly side gig teaching stress management unexpectedly became a divine turning point, deepening her sense of calling far beyond the stage and screen. Now starring as the fast-talking, hilariously flawed Sheila Cannon in Shonda Rhimes' Netflix series The Residence, Edwina opens up about navigating the highs and lows of the entertainment industry while staying rooted in her spiritual path. We also get a sneak peek at her highly anticipated debut book, The World Is Waiting For You, with a foreword by Viola Davis—an inspiring, faith-filled guide to manifesting your "God Dream" and living with intention.

In 1896, construction began on the Uganda Railway starting from Mombasa and cutting west through dense bush, rocky escarpments, swamps, and unfamiliar terrain to the shores of Lake Victoria. The work was gruelling and the men suffered from horrible diseases, lack of food and water and terrible living conditions. And then they began disappearing in the night and soon work ground to a halt completely. But what was causing men to flee into the bush in terror?Don't miss an episode—follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with us on social media @‌themondaynightrevue or email at themondaynightrevue@gmail.com.Explore our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

Leonard Bernstein, in his famous Norton Lectures, extolled repetition, saying that it gave poetry its musical qualities and that music theorists' refusal to take it seriously did so at their peril. In Play It Again, Sam: Repetition in the Arts (MIT Press, 2025), Samuel Jay Keyser explores in detail the way repetition works in poetry, music, and painting. He argues, for example, that the same cognitive function underlies both how poets write rhyme in metrical verse and the way songwriters like Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn (“Satin Doll”) and Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart (“My Funny Valentine”) construct their iconic melodies. Furthermore, the repetition found in these tunes can also be found in such classical compositions as Mozart's Rondo alla Turca and his German Dances, as well as in galant music in general.The author also looks at repetition in paintings like Gustave Caillebotte's Rainy Day in Paris, Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, and Jackson Pollock's drip paintings. Finally, the photography of Lee Friedlander, Roni Horn, and Osmond Giglia—Giglia's Girls in the Windows is one of the highest-grossing photographs in history—are all shown to be built on repetition in the form of visual rhyme.The book ends with a cognitive conjecture on why repetition has been so prominent in the arts from the Homeric epics through Duke Ellington and beyond. Artists have exploited repetition throughout the ages. The reason why is straightforward: the brain finds the detection of repetition innately pleasurable. Play It Again, Sam offers experimental evidence to support this claim.

Leonard Bernstein, in his famous Norton Lectures, extolled repetition, saying that it gave poetry its musical qualities and that music theorists' refusal to take it seriously did so at their peril. In Play It Again, Sam: Repetition in the Arts (MIT Press, 2025), Samuel Jay Keyser explores in detail the way repetition works in poetry, music, and painting. He argues, for example, that the same cognitive function underlies both how poets write rhyme in metrical verse and the way songwriters like Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn (“Satin Doll”) and Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart (“My Funny Valentine”) construct their iconic melodies. Furthermore, the repetition found in these tunes can also be found in such classical compositions as Mozart's Rondo alla Turca and his German Dances, as well as in galant music in general.The author also looks at repetition in paintings like Gustave Caillebotte's Rainy Day in Paris, Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, and Jackson Pollock's drip paintings. Finally, the photography of Lee Friedlander, Roni Horn, and Osmond Giglia—Giglia's Girls in the Windows is one of the highest-grossing photographs in history—are all shown to be built on repetition in the form of visual rhyme.The book ends with a cognitive conjecture on why repetition has been so prominent in the arts from the Homeric epics through Duke Ellington and beyond. Artists have exploited repetition throughout the ages. The reason why is straightforward: the brain finds the detection of repetition innately pleasurable. Play It Again, Sam offers experimental evidence to support this claim.

In this episode, I look at the origins of Atropa belladonna—a plant whose name combines myth, beauty, and lethal intent. I then examine how its deadly properties were used in two real crimes: the 1977 poisoning committed by Roland Roussel, and the 1994 case involving Paul Agutter. This is a closer look at how ancient knowledge and modern motives collided through one toxic plant.Don't miss an episode—follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with me on social media @‌themondaynightrevue or email at themondaynightrevue@gmail.com.Explore our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

In the Nation's Capital, music and sports have played a central role in the lives of African Americans, often serving as a barometer of social conflict and social progress―for sports clubs and ball games, jam sessions and concerts, offered entertainment, enlightenment, and encouragement. At times, they have also offered a means of escape from the harsh realities of everyday life. Rhythms of Resistance and Resilience (Georgetown UP, 2025) tells the story of these musicians and athletes who have used their skills and their determination to achieve success in the face of discrimination. Jackson begins with pioneers such as James Reese Europe, who formed the first musicians' union and fought as a member of the Harlem Hellfighters in World War I, and ends with giants of the twentieth century, such as Duke Ellington and Georgetown University basketball coaching legend John Thompson Jr. Readers interested in the history of Washington, DC, the civil rights movement, racial justice, music, and sports will draw important lessons from these stories of the Black men and women who found in sports and music spaces to combat racial prejudice and bring people in the District of Columbia together. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, will be out in the fall of 2025. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep.

Episode 71: Harvey Mason Sr. You've heard Harvey Mason Sr., whether you realize it or not. From the iconic grooves of Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters to the GRAMMY-winning “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal, Harvey's drumming has shaped music history across genres, decades, and mediums — albums, film scores, and TV alike. He's not only a musical powerhouse, but a dear friend, and in this episode, we finally sat down to dig into his legendary run — especially his work with Herbie Hancock and the Head Hunters album. Harvey shares the story of how that band came together, the sessions behind Chameleon and Watermelon Man, and why he chose not to tour with them at the height of their success. We also dive into his solo career — how it started, how it evolved, and the surprising role Clive Davis played in making it all happen. Harvey opens up about his long-standing friendships and collaborations with Quincy Jones and Chick Corea, his approach to fatherhood (including raising his sons Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, and Max Mason, former VP of Quincy Jones Productions), and how he built a legacy both on and off the kit. Fun fact: Vic Firth was Harvey's teacher — and Harvey still receives royalties from the early days of Vic Firth drumsticks! We also get into his stunning new album Changing Partners: Trios 2, featuring the likes of Chick Corea, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, James Genus, Dave Grusin, Stanley Clarke. This conversation is a masterclass in musicianship, legacy, and love for the craft. Enjoy my sit-down with the incomparable Harvey Mason Sr. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Alain Locke's classic essay "The New Negro" and the literary anthology featuring the work of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen and other significant black writers of the day.The rising artistic scene would soon be known as the Harlem Renaissance, one of the most important cultural movements in American history. And it would be centered within America's largest black neighborhood -- Harlem, the "great black city," as described by Wallace Thurman, with a rising population and growing political and cultural influence.During the 1920s, Harlem became even more. Along "Swing Street" and Lenox Avenue, nightclubs and speakeasies gave birth to American music and fostered great musical talents like Count Basie, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington. Ballrooms like the Savoy and the Alhambra helped turn Harlem into a destination for adventure and romance.What were these two worlds like -- the literary salons and the nightclubs? How removed were these spheres from the everyday lives of regular Harlem residents? How did the neighborhood develop both an energetic and raucous music scene and a diverse number of churches -- many (like the Abyssinian Baptist Church) still around today?Visit the website for more details and more podcastsGet tickets to our March 31 City Vineyard event Bowery Boys HISTORY LIVE! hereAnd join us for our Gilded Age Weekend in New York, May 29-June 1, 2025.
