We asked ethnomusicologist Aja Burrell Wood (@alwaysAja) to talk to us about jazz master drummer Terri Lyne Carrington’s latest offering: The Mosaic Project: LOVE and SOUL. So we suggest you read Aja’s thoughtful response and then press play on the album at the bottom. Please check out Aja’s...
Langston Collin Wilkins, Ph.D. (@StreetFolkLCW) Dr. Dre means a lot to me as a hip hop head and scholar. N.W.A.’s two group albums and Dre’s first solo album, The Chronic (1992) are among my favorite records of all time. I bought The Chronic 2001 the day it came out in 1999 and it dominated...

It’s summertime! The season for rolling down the windows and jamming to some classic music. Might I suggest that you add Shaun Martin‘s new album 7 Summers to you rotation? And you may not have heard of him, but he already has Grammys (plural) for his work with Kirk Franklin and he tours...
A couple of weeks ago I attended a concert at Union Baptist Church in Philadelphia with my colleague Professor Tsitsi Jaji, a scholar, musician and poet. An African American church founded in 1832, Union Baptist holds an amazing archive some of which is on display in the lower level. There, Tsitsi...
