SUMMARY:Adult Education Series: History of Philadelphia Soul
DESCRIPTION:This three-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole\, traces the history of Philadelphia or “Philly” Soul. Class Schedule: Thursdays – Sept. 9\, Sept. 16 and Sept. 23 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nThis three-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole\, traces the history of Philadelphia or “Philly” Soul\, which greatly impacted not only the sound of 70s soul but the development of disco. Its lush string arrangements\, horns\, seductive vocals\, and varied lyrical content added an element of sophistication to funk and soul\, paving the way for disco and the 1990s neo-soul movement. \nThe class will begin with influences such as Phil Spector’s “wall of sound” production\, Motown’s pop/soul gloss\, and James Brown’s “on the one” funk. Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff\, the chief architects of the Philly Soul sound\, will be explored in depth\, as their compositions and productions resulted in classics by the O’Jays\, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes\, and Billy Paul. The duo would also form the Philadelphia International label\, whose legendary house band MFSB helped craft the sound. Along the way\, the sound helped create disco and influenced acts as diverse as David Bowie\, Hall and Oates\, and Jill Scott. In addition to multimedia presentations\, group discussions will further enhance understanding of this greatly influential genre. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:CD Release for the #1 chart topping 'Jawanza Kobie Jazz Composer' released earlier 2021
DESCRIPTION:CD Release for the #1 chart topping ‘Jawanza Kobie Jazz Composer’ released earlier 2021 \nJawanza Kobie would simply like to be known as a composer in the truest sense of the word. Ever since he was young boy he idolized the music of Beethoven\, George Gershwin\, Aaron Copeland and began learning to notate his compositions at nine years of age. Born and raised in West Philadelphia\, he started taking piano lessons in his neighborhood at age six after his mother discovered that he could replicate on his own what his older brother had been taught in his piano lessons right after his brother had finished practicing.

SUMMARY:Adult Education Series: History of Philadelphia Soul
DESCRIPTION:This three-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole\, traces the history of Philadelphia or “Philly” Soul. Class Schedule: Thursdays – Sept. 9\, Sept. 16 and Sept. 23 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nThis three-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole\, traces the history of Philadelphia or “Philly” Soul\, which greatly impacted not only the sound of 70s soul but the development of disco. Its lush string arrangements\, horns\, seductive vocals\, and varied lyrical content added an element of sophistication to funk and soul\, paving the way for disco and the 1990s neo-soul movement. \nThe class will begin with influences such as Phil Spector’s “wall of sound” production\, Motown’s pop/soul gloss\, and James Brown’s “on the one” funk. Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff\, the chief architects of the Philly Soul sound\, will be explored in depth\, as their compositions and productions resulted in classics by the O’Jays\, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes\, and Billy Paul. The duo would also form the Philadelphia International label\, whose legendary house band MFSB helped craft the sound. Along the way\, the sound helped create disco and influenced acts as diverse as David Bowie\, Hall and Oates\, and Jill Scott. In addition to multimedia presentations\, group discussions will further enhance understanding of this greatly influential genre. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.
