Encyclopedia of African American Popular Culture [Four Volumes] - Jessie Carney Smith - Google Books
From the Apollo Theater to the Harlem Renaissance, from barber shop and beauty shop culture to African American holidays, family reunions, and festivals, and from the days of black baseball to the era of a black president, the culture of African Americans is truly unique and diverse. This diversity is the result of intricate customs forged in tightly woven communities--not only in the United States, but in many cases also stemming from the traditions of another continent. "Encyclopedia of African American Popular Culture" presents information in a traditional A-Z organization, capturing the essence of the customs of African Americans and presenting this rich cultural heritage through the lens of popular culture.Chris Robison The Velvert Turner Group
I met Velvert at the Stable Inn on Barrow St in the Village , an after- hours hang out w/ food and a juke box. My friend Ronnie Romano knew Velvert, and knew he was looking for a keyboard player for his LA group, so Ronnie hooked us up. Always a man of style, Velvert had his rented stretch limo whisk us away to his hotel across from Madison Square Garden, where we talked all night.
TURNER-Velvert. A noted musician and former understudy of Jimi Hendrix, passed away on the morning of December 11, 2000, at his home in Brooklyn, New York. Velvert was born October 12, 1951, and is survived by his mother, Helen Harris. Mr. Turner was an accomplished guitarist who crossed paths with Jimi Hendrix as a young teenager growing up in New York City in 1966. He was befriended by Hendrix, who recognized the young scholar's passion for the electric guitar.
