TMT 232: Maureen Mahon
Talk Music Talk with boice
Black Diamond Queens, the second book from Maureen Mahon is an examination of African-American women in rock. The book is not only a fascinating study of their achievements, but also illustrates their wide influence in the genre. From Big Mama Thornton and her original version “Hound Dog” to girl group The Shirelles and of course, Tina Turner. Despite their contribution, these legends weren't always paid their dues, figuratively and/or financially. Black Diamond Queens is a beautiful celebration of the talent and struggles these women. Black Diamond Queens is available from Duke...

TMT 227: Soft Glas
Talk Music Talk with boice
Soft Glas, the solo project of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jõao Gonzalez, returns to TMT on the eve of his new release, How Strange. How Strange is the Grammy-nominee’s third full-length album and it unites the spirit of college radio, Cuban-laced rhythms and jazz-tinged instrumentation. The influences arrive effortlessly considering Jõao grew up on 2000s indie/ emo rock and his father is celebrated Cuban jazz pianist, Gonzalo Rubalcaba. His father’s 2021 Grammy-nominated ‘Best Latin Jazz Album’ Viento Y Tiempo (with Aymée Nuviola) features Jõao as the mixing...
