The Backsell returns on July 25! Join Blues bandleader and radio host Jason Vivone for an intimate evening of music exploration at The Listyning Room. In "The Backsell" Jason will curate and spin a selection of recordings, delving into the deep and complex connections between the music we all love.
Segment highlights:
Ladies Who Swing the Band! The International Sweethearts of Rhythm was an American jazz ensemble, believed to be the first racially-integrated all-female band in the United States.
A Kansas City Classic: Born in KC in 1939, James Gadson is on of the most recorded drummers in the history of R&B. His credits read like an endless list and include many iconic hits over six decades of music.
The Guitar Grind: - Santo & Johnny were an American rock and roll instrumental duo of Italian descent from Brooklyn, New York, composed of brothers Santo Farina and Johnny Farina.They are known best for their instrumental song "Sleep Walk", one of the biggest hits of the golden age of rock 'n' roll.
Just like in radio broadcasting, Jason will "backsell" each set, providing insightful commentary and anecdotes that illuminate the history, influences, and cultural significance of the music you're hearing. It's a chance to rediscover old favorites, discover new gems, and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of recorded sound.
