Jerry Wexler, last of the visionaries?

Friday, October 31st, 2008

With the recent death of Atlantic Records’ Jerry Wexler-who coined the term Rhythm & Blues-Berry Gordy/Motown and Jim Stewart/Stax are the only remaining record company giants I know of. Do you think theree is/will there be anyone to fill their shoes?
Fonzie- thanks for your answer. I must admit that getting one response is pretty disappointing. I browse R & P regularly and see many complaints about all the silly questions, yet no-one else answers this?

Is there an e-mail address of beauty_edgely17@yahoo.com?

Who will win the Grammy 4 Best Contemporary R&B Album?

Monday, October 27th, 2008

The nominees are…

“Growing Pains” Mary J. Blige
“Back of My Lac’” J. Holiday
“First Love” Karina
“Year of the Gentleman” Ne-Yo
“Fearless” Jazmine Sullivan

I’m watching “Mad” by Ne-Yo on Youtube on another browser. I’m very much impressed w/ today’s rhythm & blues artists. I don’t c “As I Am” by Alicia Keys on here; I assume it was nomin8d last year. & I think “Growing Pains” came out during the 1st days of the eligibility period; it came out last fall. Un4tunately Hot 94.1, Bakersfield’s most-listened-2 station, plays a mix of hip-hop w/ R&B, so I guess I can only find pure R&B stations online. That could explain y I never really heard anything regularly from MJB, not even “Just Fine.” Ne-Yo is certainly the most popular on Hot 94.1, & he’s popular w/ some of the Answerers. I’m impressed w/ him myself; I think he sets the archetype for male R&B crooners. That said, he can win this. But perhaps some recognition should go to Jasmine Sullivan as well. I never really heard Karina’s hits, & I’ve only heard J. Holiday’s “Bed” & “Suffocate.”

So who do u like? Any Karina, J. Holiday or Jazmine Sullivan fans out there? The 51st Grammys take place 2/8 on CBS.

hey yo.it’s survey time?

Ok so pretty much everyone hated my girl name…Rhythm Blue. Which I am still really puzzled about. I do not understand why a name like that would get made fun of at all?! But thanks for your honesty.

So what about my boy name….Dawson Rush?

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

here is the criteria:
A tune from a well-known artist or band (any style)
A standard or jazz tune (which may include blues and rhythm changes) with your own improvisation
A composition from the instrumental/voice repertoire or a movement, sonata, concerto or etude
A transcription of a well-known artist’s solo
You should be prepared to play over a standard I-IV-V blues progression
