With
her new album Pieces of Me, Ledisi undoubtedly proves that she is a
woman to know. Loaded with emotion and charged with unparalleled soul,
this record adds another dimension to the persona the singer has been
sharing with audiences since her explosive entrance on the music scene a
few short years ago. “Imagine some of the characteristics of Shug Avery
from The Color Purple,” Ledisi says playfully. “She is fiery,
expressive, spiritual and uninhibited. Well, I would say this is my Shug
Avery-like project,” she adds with her trademark laughter. Anyone who’s
seen her dynamic live show or follows her on Twitter knows this lively
and clever side of the singer and Pieces of Me delivers many more.

Jazz/Blues Pianist Henry Butler to be Profiled in New HBO Documentary, “Dark Light: The Art of Blind Photographers”

CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED JAZZ/BLUES PIANIST HENRY BUTLER PROFILED IN NEW HBO DOCUMENTARY “DARK LIGHT:  THE ART OF BLIND PHOTOGRAPHERS”


Photos By New Orleans’ Native Musical Son Are The Subject Of Compelling Film Airing This Month Nationwide On The Cable Network As Well As A Traveling Photo Exhibit

 

Los Angeles, California.  Henry Butler, pianist extraordinaire, will now be recognized in another medium for which he excels – photography.  The photographs of the legendary sight-impaired jazz and blues musician are the subject of a new documentary which begins airing on HBO this month entitled, “Dark Light:  The Art Of Blind Photographers.”  Butler is extensively profiled in the film alongside two other sight-impaired photographers – Peter Eckert and Bruce Hall. 

“Dark Light:  The Art Of Blind Photographers” explores the creativity of innovative artists who transcend their physical limitations.  Directed and produced by renowned photographer Neil Leifer (best known for his classic shot of Muhammad Ali standing over defeated opponent Sonny Liston), “Dark Light:  The Art Of Blind Photographers” reveals the fascinating landscapes of the internal world of the blind and profiles artists who are drawn to photography for a variety of reasons, including creating an image for the sighted world they hold in their mind or capturing an image experienced through nature.  The film has already generated excellent word-of-mouth at film festivals including the Newport Beach Film Festival (where it was chosen as “Best Short Documentary”), the Bermuda International Film Festival, Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, the Garden State Film Festival, the Honolulu International Film Festival, the Sacramento International Film Festival and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
