SUMMARY:The Green Room Sessions: Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul at 50
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third installment of the Green Room Sessions\, an exercise in close listening and thoughtful discussion about classic songs and albums from the Stax Records catalog. \nThis month\, Dr. Charles Hughes will examine Isaac Hayes’ seminal album\, Hot Buttered Soul. The anchor of Stax’s massive 27 album and 30 single “Soul Explosion” in 1969\, the album highlights the burgeoning genius of Hayes as a performer and composer. With only five songs and no obvious radio hit\, it was a major risk for both Hayes and the label\, but it paid off\, as the album sold well over a million copies and Hayes became an overnight star. \nJoining Dr. Hughes will be former Stax Records owner Al Bell\, who initiated the “Soul Explosion” and played a key role in encouraging Hayes and other Stax artists to explore new sounds and to use the album format to experiment and bring in new audiences. \nPresented in partnership with Crosstown Arts and Arts First through the First Tennessee Foundation

SUMMARY:ReMix Memphis
DESCRIPTION:Join musician/writer Alex Greene for a listening session featuring the sounds of Memphis. \nUsing an app called Loopy HD\, Alex goes through different groups of sounds\, slowly adding and subtracting noises recorded right on the streets of Memphis. You might hear simple sounds\, like feet walking through leaves\, the roar of an overhead jet\, or a leaf blower. You might hear more suggestive sounds\, like music from an amphitheater\, gun shots\, or tornado sirens. They’re all geared to get people thinking about what surrounds them every day\, and — most importantly — what they like or dislike hearing. Participants are given cards they’ll use to rate each sound as positive\, negative\, or neutral. \nIn addition\, Greene will play some of the creative mash-ups that local musicians and producers have contributed\, using field recordings from the Memphis streets. It will be the first public airing of works slated to be collected in a dedicated Memphis 3.0 album.
