Toshi Reagon has curated this year's Schomburg Women in Jazz series . .Closing night she honored her mother the legendary musician and scholar Bernice Reagon Johnson by inviting BRJ to sit in and sing the songs she had written .. a very very very special evening of music .. I closed my eyes and brought Sweet Honey in the Rock and Michael Callen into the room. Callen recorded an album (LEGACY) of incredible music as he was dying of AIDS( and it included "They are falling" ...which is sung in this concert .. as an AIDS anthem.. I am grateful to Sonja who invited me to join her and the two Lisas for this memorable concert please share,, I was all hte way back in the room .. a perfect place to hear the music ,,,but not the best place to shoot from .. but the music trunos the limitations of the zoom.
