Check out the latest edition of UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry.
In the show, Ray Cornelius catches up with Emmy-Award winning journalist and Peabody Award recipient Deborah Roberts to chat about her new book Lessons Learned and Cherished. The media maven is showing some much-needed love to our educators through a collection of carefully curated essays from her celebrity friends that share how teachers impacted their lives.
And in the second half of the show, Ray goes behind-the-scenes of the Alliance Theatre’s new musical extravaganza, The Boy Who Kissed the Sky. Recording artists Divinity Roxx and Eugene H. Russell IV will take you through their exciting collaboration of creating music and melodies for a fictional take on the life and legacy of rock icon Jimi Hendrix.
And UPFRONT continues its celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month by playing music from Robert Glasper, Chief Xian Atunde Adjuan the artist formerly known as Christian Scott and a throwback from JIVA featuring Rhonda Thomas.
UPFRONT/Inside the Entertainment Industry is produced and hosted by Ray Cornelius for Jazz 91.9 WCLK. The show re-airs on SiriusXM HBCU Channel 142 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 6:30pm EST. It is also presented by the Hammonds House Museum.
