Life, Love and the Blues
Music is with us in our
cradles, through the passion
and heartbreaks of our first
loves and at the joy of
marriage. It consoles us
during life's inevitable
tribulations and at partings.
Like love, it is eternal. In
Life, Love and the Blues,
jazz vox Shenel Johns
leads an exploration of the
history of the blues through
the trials and tribulations of life. Featuring the
music of Screaming Jay Hawkins, Cab Calloway,
Richard Strauss and Kurt Weill, as well as Diana
Washington, Nina Simone and Ethel Waters, Life,
Love and the Blues is an inter-genre,
intergenerational journey through the era-defining
music of our time.
