Tuesday, May 24th, 2011Syl Johnson comes to Brooklyn
Friday, December 17th, 2010I had the opportunity to do a quick portrait with Syl Johnson when he was in NY to perform and promote his excellent and exhaustive new box-set on Numero Group, Syl Johnson: Complete Mythology. I met up with him and Michael Slaboch of Numero Group at a bar in Brooklyn where Syl was just finishing a video interview and a long day of press. He was a bit wiped out from all the attention but I managed one good frame of Syl wedged in a dark corner near the window on black and white film.
When he hit the stage that night for Dig Deeper at Southpaw, it was evident that he was saving his energy for the performance. Pictured in the slideshow are the Sweet Divines (backstage and onstage).

Billy Prince at Dig Deeper
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Next in the Dig Deeper series is Billy Prince, known (or unknown depending who you ask) for his great Detroit soul sides with the group the Precisions. Say hello to him over at his MySpace page. The show had a special opener with a local soul revue featuring Meah Pace from the Mellowmatics, Alba Ponce De Leon of Naomi Shelton’s Gospel Queens, Cici James, Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed (new album on Capitol ), Inyang Bassey (currently touring with Moby) and Jennie Wasserman and Ashley Vitha of the Sweet Divines.
