The Station Tapes | Vivian Sessoms - 21 Soul

What this episode covers

This week we have the great pleasure of speaking with Vivian Sessoms. Raised in a musical family in Harlem, Vivian's list of credits in the music business requires a lot of scrolling, with notables like Stevie Wonder, Sinead O Connor, and Ryuichi Sakamoto on the list. Vivian stunned us with her two part album entitled LIFE, an epic collection of songs and lush arrangements done with her husband, Chris Parks, and featuring the likes of Keyon Harold, Casey Benjamin, Shedrick Mitchell, and Amp Fiddler. Her powerful social commentary is mixed throughout, with the most powerful track - I Can't Breathe - dedicated to Erica Garner. Support Vivian by purchasing her album "Life" at https://vivian-sessoms.bandcamp.com/album/life Produced by Nick Perri. Engineered by Steve Eshewsky.

Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) The Music Authority LIVE STREAM Show Jim Prell The Music Authority bringing Power Pop, Rock, Soul, Rhythm & Blues to anyone and everyone who has courage, is brave enough to not follow the crowd, the masses (the “M” is always silent!), trusts in themselves enough to listen to SOMETHING completely DIFFERENT!

Over the years I noticed that music I enjoyed was not getting played and after leaving the industry for 13 years, I chose to come back and serve the music styles I enjoy and hopefully you will too! The biggest question being asked is "What format is The Music Authority?" And The Answer IS..."Whatever I want to play or whatever my friends and listeners ask for!”
