WBGO celebrates #BlackMusicMonth in June and throughout the year. WBGO's Lezlie Harrison interviews and hosts a special performance by Bettye LaVette in the WBGO studios at 54 Wayne Shorter Way as part of the festivities. Here are a few words from Harrison:
Few voices in American music carry the weight and power of Bettye LaVette's. With a career spanning over six decades, LaVette has transcended genres, captivating audiences with her raw vocals and soulful interpretations. I had the privilege of sitting down with Ms. LaVette to discuss the inspiration behind her latest record, "LaVette," the creative process, and what it means to keep pushing boundaries after decades in the industry, reflecting on the remarkable journey of a true music legend.
