JUN 2 George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic A master of funk on the level of James Brown and Sly Stone, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic lent the genre a psychedelic swagger in the 70s and 80s with tracks like "Atomic Dog." Extensively sampled by hip-hop artists-most famously in Snoop Dogg's "What's My Name?''-the legendary P-Funk collective brings the world's greatest party to kick off the summer in Brooklyn. JUL 21 Urban Guerilla Orchestra with special guest Miles Jaye Representing the gold standard of the play-anything party band, the Urban Guerilla Orchestra is the sum of its members' experience, which include gigs with everyone from Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder to Alicia Keys. At MetroTech, they welcome Village People alum and R&B standout Miles Jaye. I JUL 28 Jose James Vocalist Jose James' voice is a blend of jazz crooner mellowness and R&B cool. It can be devastatingly hushed, as on his recent duo album, For All We Know, or flow liberally for more groove-based fare. A "rising jazz star" (The New York times) signed to the prestigious Verve label, James has played everywhere from Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis to Central Park SummerStage, and brings his "honeyed baritone" (BBC) to MetroTech for a set of standards and more. JUN 30 Bobbi Humphrey The first woman to sign with Blue Note Records and briefly a member of one of Duke Ellington's bands, urban pop flutist Bobbi Humphrey defined the 70s at its smoothest with tracks like "Harlem River Drive." Her solo on Stevie Wonder's 1977 track "Another Star," from Songs in the Key of Life, further cemented her reputation as "First Lady of the Flute." .

Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).

Blue Note is loved, revered, respected and recognized as one of the most important record labels in the history of popular music. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion, who had only arrived in America a few years earlier having fled the oppressive Nazi regime in his native Germany, Blue Note has continually blazed a trail of innovation in both music and design. Its catalogue of great albums, long-playing records and even 78rpm and 45rpm records is for many the holy grail of jazz. Blue Note is loved, revered, respected and recognized as one of the most important record labels in the history of popular music. Founded in 1939 by Alfred Lion, who had only arrived in America a few years earlier having fled the oppressive Nazi regime in his native Germany, Blue Note has continually blazed a trail of innovation in both music and design. Its catalogue of great albums, long-playing records and even 78rpm and 45rpm records is for many the holy grail of jazz. It all began when Alfred Lion went to the ‘Spirituals to Swing’ concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall a few days before Christmas 1938. A week or so later he went to Café Society, a newly opened club, to talk to Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis, who had seen them play at Carnegie Hall.
