Ada Bailey

Hailing from the tiny little town of Ada, Oklahoma comes this monster of a band by the name of Black Life Unique! With members consisting of D. Geiser, Wayne Bailey, Nathan Hardcastle, and his younger brother Kayden Hardcastle. These guys deliver a heavy, yet refreshing, mark on the hard rock scene. Formed in late 2014 in a little house on Cherry Street when Nathan and Daniel (both previously with Lifting Pariah) brought in Kayden Hardcastle (singer / song writer) and Wayne Bailey, former bass player from the heavy hitting band Triple Bypass. The 4 guys formed what is now Black Life Unique.

There are no less than 20 CD compilations on the market with the words "Jazz Divas" in the title, and another eight that use the phrase "Divas of Jazz." Those two nouns, so carelessly bandied about, describe improvising female vocalists whose works are an extension of a tradition established by Bessie Smith, Adelaide Hall, Ethel Waters, Mildred Bailey, Ivie Anderson, Valaida Snow, Una Mae Carlisle, and Lee Wiley, none of whom appear on Verve's 2007 double-disc anthology titled Jazz Divas: Gold. Although a collection this diverse is vulnerable to criticism, particularly in regards to the song choices that were made, the temporal range – May 1938 through June 1997 – allows for a healthy overview of stylistic evolution. Thirty singers are represented here, with Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, and Nina Simone checking in twice (each of the five has her own volume in Verve's Gold series). This is a mainstream selection; while the omission of Ada Moore, Jeanne Lee, and June Tyson is therefore not surprising, the absence of Pearl Bailey, Betty Roché, and Etta Jones is most unfortunate. On the positive side, it's an entertaining survey of mostly great recordings made over a span of six decades by a variegated assortment of female jazz vocalists.

"The blackest of Italian pianists" was born May 16th, 1965, in Genoa. He studied piano with Maestro Flavio Crivelli and began his career collaborating with musicians from the Genoa Area, especially with the bassist Piero Leveratto. In 1993 he was invited for the first time in the USA. He plays with Red Holloway and Albert "Tootie" Heath on a tour on the West Coast.

We all love someone. We all fear something. Sometimes they live right next door—or even closer. Kane will do everything he can to save his mother and his little brother Sam from the violence of his father, even if it means becoming a monster himself. Mrs. Aslan will protect the boys no matter what—even though her own family is in pieces. Ada wants a family she can count on, while she faces new questions about herself. Mr. Bailey is afraid of the refugees next door, but his worst fear will take another form. And Gugulethu is just trying to make a life away from terror…
