  • We Have a Dream Gertkeunen EN
    We have a dream Music is a powerful medium. It can evoke universal emotions and move us or give us pleasure, or it can be disorienting or confrontational. Music is a reverberation of life; love and frustration find their way into it. But music can also be a political weapon. Its ability to set people in motion is precisely what makes it a perfect vehicle for sending serious messages – against the war, against the evil forces in society, against intolerance, against racism – out into the world. It has always been this way, and we see it in every musical genre from Beethoven, Kurt Weill and Billie Holiday to Bob Dylan, Bob Marley and U2. Of course, the effectiveness of this kind of activism is relative. Sometimes the words shed their significance layer by layer and become meaningless sounds, and sometimes they become a call to action. Sometimes a piece of music turns into an anthem (for example, Jimi Hendrix’s version of the American national anthem as a symbol of the movement against the Vietnam war), and sometimes it is censored by an authoritarian government (from Nazi Germany to Communist China). Inspired by the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s assassination, Brussels Jazz Orchestra is working on a musical project with human rights as its theme. We have a dream presents old songs in new arrangements. Frank Vaganée and Tutu Puoane combed through their record collections and selected their personal favourites from the rich history of the protest song. The music they have chosen is a strikingly homogeneous set: the songs are mainly from the late 1960s and early 1970s, and there is no punk, funk, hip-hop, reggae or hippie music here, but instead jazz and soul (Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder) and a couple of white singer-songwriters (Joni Mitchell, Sting).

The song is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and YouTube. The powerful, piano-only ballad was written by Oliver's late iconic grandfather, Ron Miller, who penned standards such as, "For Once in My Life," "Touch Me in the Morning," "A Place in the Sun," "Yester-me, Yester-you, Yesterday," "Heaven Help Us All," "I've Never Been to Me," "If I Could," "Everyone's a Kid at Christmas Time" (co-written by Oliver's maternal grandmother, Aurora Miller), and many more. Originally recorded by Stevie Wonder in 1967 for his one and only same-titled Christmas album, "Someday at Christmas" has also been covered by numerous other artists such as The Jackson 5, LeAnn Rimes, Mary J. Blige, Pearl Jam, Mario, Jackie Evancho, and Justin Bieber. "Someday at Christmas" was also featured as the "Best Christmas song of all time" in the recent film release, "Love, Simon," and was chosen by Apple in recent years for its holiday message to the world which included a 90-second ad starring Andra Day and Stevie Wonder. The new recording was produced by Oliver's mother, singer/songwriter/producer Lisa Dawn Miller (https://lisadawnmiller.com/) and is the first release from her new record label, LDM Music.

  • The Music of Donny Hathaway Everything Is Everything Donny Hathaway, 1970
    SUMPTUOUS SOUL: THE MUSIC OF DONNY HATHAWAY EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING DONNY HATHAWAY, 1970 Keisha Hicks A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2014 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso, Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Radhika Gajjala © 2014 Keisha Hicks All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor The song “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway is played only once a year during the holiday season. His presence is so strong during the holidays for African Americans because he is one of the distinctive cultural markers of the season. The question at hand is why is he relegated to the Christmas season but what about the rest of the year. In 2010, National Public Radio (NPR) created the series 50 Great Voices as a way to expose NPR listeners to artists who were not at the forefront of public consciousness. On June 26, 2010 Donny Hathaway debuted as the “Neglected Heart of Soul” but does “neglected” hold up. I believe “neglected” becomes situational depending on who is doing the remembering. The objective of my dissertation is to locate Donny Hathaway as a central figure in 1970s Soul music, to understand his growing influence over contemporary artists, and his musical legacy. I used Stuart Hall’s “representation” as my overarching theoretical framework. I wanted a theory that would be fluid enough to be relevant in the different phases of Donny Hathaway’s musical career. By using representation I was able to identify and understand the musical influences on Donny Hathaway.

  • 16-Year-Old Oliver Richman Sings of Hope in His New Song and Music Video Release, "Believe"
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Chrissy Sutphin, CAS PR 703-505-0207, [email protected] View this email in your browser 16-YEAR-OLD OLIVER RICHMAN SINGS OF HOPE IN HIS NEW SONG AND MUSIC VIDEO RELEASE, "BELIEVE" The multi-talented singer, actor and performer also releases, ‘Diagramming Club,’ an original new rap and music video about how fun it is to learn about sentence diagramming and grammar LOS ANGELES — 16-year-old actor and recording artist, Oliver Richman’s (www.oliverrichman.com) new song and video “Believe” offers a profound expression of hope in response to these increasingly troubled times. The poignant, inspirational piano-driven ballad was written in the wake of recent tragic events by Oliver’s mother, veteran performer and musical producer Lisa Dawn Miller (www.lisadawnmiller.com), with her songwriting and producing partner Mark Matson. Its lyric conveys a message about the power we have to overcome darkness if we come together in a spirit of love: “Believe in our tomorrow/If we believe in who we are/Then the dream of no more sorrow/Can never really be that far…” “I wanted to focus on the positive…on our resolve. I truly believe that nothing can overpower the strength and power of love,” says Miller. “During troubled times, we have always come together to stand up against injustice and darkness. Our faith and belief in who we are as a people has always prevailed – as the truth always does. Oliver has so much sensitivity in his voice and at the same time, he has the definitiveness and confidence to inspire hope and courage,” she adds.
