About this Event
Join us for an unforgettable evening at WYXR's Stereo Sessions presented by MEMPHO! On June 14th, 6 :30 p.m., come to the Memphis Listening Lab at Crosstown Concourse in Memphis, Tennessee, for a unique music experience.
Each month, we explore a hidden gem from Memphis music history. At the state-of-the-art album listening lounge, we'll dive into the 1959 release "Down Home Reunion" by Young Men From Memphis on United Artists. This month's featured album promises to be an incredible journey into Memphis' musical heritage.
We're thrilled to have jazz guitarist Joe Restivo and the Director of the Mike Curb Institute for Music at Rhodes College John Bass as our guest panelists. They'll provide fascinating insights into the album, sharing stories and reflections on its significance.
The album features an outstanding lineup of musicians with strong connections to Memphis, including Frank Strozier on alto saxophone, George Joyner on bass, Charles Crosby on drums, Calvin Newborn on guitar, Phineas Newborn on piano, and more.
Experience the genuine down-home feeling that permeates this album—an authentic blend of gospel, blues, and Southern life. This event celebrates the rich musical traditions of Memphis and the remarkable talent it has nurtured.
