In 1992, with the support of Isaac T. , Michael approached CBS Radio to broadcast a new series. This was before the first House of Blues club opened. They agreed. Then in conjunction with Ben Manilla, and Dan Aykroyd they created and produced the series - giving the House of Blues national exposure. After Michael left HOB, Ben Manilla took over the series with new partners, and continued the successful series. Glad to see it has landed at the Smithsonian.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, H. Memo Rhein produced a song in support of the Ukrainians. We were lucky to be asked to create the video. 2 years on, another video has been created for the song (that we did not create) " to make it more actual ... how a dream gets buried". "The material in this video demonstrates Georgian people’s protest against ‘Foreign Agents Law’. The law threatens democratic existence, county’s development, independence and puts under question Georgia’s integration into EU, that is a long-term wish of the country’s population. Already for weeks, Georgia’s capital city -Tbilisi, along with other major and small cities are immersed in peaceful protests. Hundreds of thousands of people of all ages, of various backgrounds, different occupations and beliefs oppose the bill, while the government is trying to legalize it by violent means.

Music is a universal language that all the nations around the globe understand equally. ‘Wings of Freedom’ is a transcription of original Georgian Song ‘Freedom’ by Chabuka Amiranashvili, the song was initially created as a musical manifest to convey the message that Freedom is an ultimate value that we have to protect and fight for."

The is true for all peoples currently under attack.

Malcolm X came out in November of 1992, 31 years ago this week. I was fortunate that Spike Lee selected me to compose the music exploring the historic life of Malcolm X. This film, my 2nd, challenged me (perhaps it was the 70-piece orchestra) and set me on my path.

Thank you

A "secret"documentary about s*xual predator Brett Kavanaugh & how the FBI covered up his s*xual assault allegations just premiered at Sundance

An HBO doc about how Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan covered up s*x crimes at Ohio State is also about to drop

A documentary is debuting at the Sundance Film Festival and it focuses on the allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and it looks to be a high-powered one at that. The “secret” project comes from the director of such movies as The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Durin...

OffBeat contributor Joe Stolarick profiled Allan Jaffe, one the people responsible for establishing Preservation Hall. The story explores Jaffe’s journey from a kid in a tough coal mining town in Pennsylvania to establishing the New Orleans jazz landmark. It also explores Stolarick’s serendipitous connection to the man as another kid from Pottsville, PA.
