As part of WFIU’s Black History Month programming, David Brent Johnson presents the fascinating story of Vee-Jay—an Indiana-founded, African-American record label fell victim to its own success. “The Vee-Jay Jazz Story” charts the rise and fall of the legendary label on Night Lights, Friday, February 10 at 9 p.m.

In 1953, Vivian Carter and James C. Bracken, African-American owners of a record shop in Gary, Indiana, started a record label called Vee-Jay, the name taken from the initials of their first names.

Throughout the 1950s, blues artists such as Jimmy Reed and John Lee Hooker and vocal groups like the Dells and the Spaniels made Vee-Jay a cornerstone of black American music.

From the late 1950s to the early 1960s Vee-Jay recorded a slew of outstanding jazz hardbop sessions, broadening the label’s eventual legacy as an AfricanAmerican musical success story.

In the early 1960s Vee-Jay’s sales soared on the strength of another big hit—Gene Chandler’s “Duke of Earl”—and two white acts: the vocal group The Four Seasons, and an up-and-coming British group whose potential American label counterpart, Capitol Records, had initially passed over: The Beatles.

But a 1963 shakeup of label leadership, a lawsuit

by The Four Seasons against Vee-Jay, and legal actions

by Capitol once The Beatles took off in America, threw the label into disarray. Conflict between the label’s Chicago and L.A. offices artists leaving Vee-Jay contributed to the label’s demise in 1966.

In 13 years Vee-Jay had built a legacy as one of the most successful black-owned record labels in America, and its jazz recordings live on.

As part of WFIU’s Black History Month programming, we present Historically Black, a three-part series that reveals intimate and surprising aspects of history through interviews, archival sound, and music. Each episode centers on family objects that connect people personally to black history, photographs of which were donated by people across the country. The episodes are hosted by Michele Norris and narrated by Issa Rae, Keegan-Michael Key, Roxane Gay, and Another Round podcast duo Heben Nigatu and Tracy Clayton.

As winter continues apace, the WFIU jazz department is working feverishly to get you through the sled-dog days of February.

On our Friday-evening program Afterglow, host Mark Chilla has prepared a slate of musical highlights.

These include a look at the Grammy nominees for best jazz vocal album and best traditional pop vocal album, a salute to jazz instrumentalists who also sing, icon Nat King Cole’s rise to stardom in the 1940s, and the sadder side of Valentine’s Day. Following Afterglow at 9 every Friday evening, Night Lights delves into the music and history of Vee Jay Records, a label that got its start in Gary, Indiana.

This month on WTIU television American Masters: Maya Angelou – And Still I Rise Tuesday, February 21, 8 p.m.

Journey through the prolific life of author and activist Maya Angelou (1928–2014), best known for her autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, who gave people the freedom to think about their history in a way they never had before.

This film weaves her words with rare and intimate archival photographs and videos, which paint hidden moments of her exuberant life during some of America’s

CGAs – For the Love of WFIU If you love WFIU, one way to show it is by creating a Charitable Gift Annuity that supplements your retirement income and leaves something to WFIU as well.

If you are not yet ready to retire, a Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity is a good strategy. A deferred gift annuity will make fixed payments to you that begin up to ten years out on a pre-set date, allowing the principal to grow until you need the annuity payments.

After five years, you might discover you don’t yet need the income payments for your retirement. If so, a Flexible Deferred Gift Page 10 / February 2017

most defining moments. From her upbringing in the Depression-era South to her work with Malcolm X to her inaugural poem for President Bill Clinton, the film takes us through the life of an American icon.

The documentary includes new interviews with friends and family including Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Common, Alfre Woodard, Cicely Tyson, Quincy Jones, Hillary Clinton, John

Annuity will let you choose a date to receive gift annuity payments (e.g., in five years).

When you reach that date, if you discover you don’t yet need the income payments for your retirement, you can then choose to delay payments even longer.

Example: Carol W. (age 58) owns a small business. Earlier this year, she set up a flexible deferred gift annuity of $20,000 to benefit WFIU. She will wait five years for payments to begin, while her money grows.

Carol can take a charitable deduction based on her gift amount the same year she sets up her deferred gift annuity.

After five years, if Carol does not yet need the income stream, she can postpone the payments several more years. The longer she postpones receiving payments, the greater the payments will be.

Singleton, and Angelou’s son, Guy Johnson.

Surprising facets of Dr. Angelou’s life are unearthed in the film. She performed in the Jean Genet play The Blacks in 1961 with a cast of actors that included James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson, and Lou Gossett, Jr. She had a career as a calypso singer and dancer in the 1950s and appeared in the movie Calypso Heat Wave. In the 1960s she went to the Cape Coast in Ghana, the terrible place where slave ships embarked hundreds of years ago. In the film, she describes the excitement of living in newly liberated Ghana and meeting with Malcolm X on his pilgrimage to Africa.

Michael Hewlett of the Winston-Salem Journal called the film “. . . a nuanced portrait of a woman who owned both the joy and pain of her life and poured all of it into her writing in an effort to liberate herself and others.”

With bank interest rates so low on savings accounts, it’s a good way to put your money to work for you—and to arrange a charitable gift to the station you trust.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro Hosting Weekend Edition Sunday Weekend Edition Sunday has a new host: Lulu GarciaNavarro. As of January, NPR South America correspondent Garcia-Navarro began presiding over the two-hour

Lulu Garcia-Navarro

newsmagazine that combines the news with colorful arts and human interest features, appealing to the curious and eclectic.

Previously, Lulu Garcia-Navarro served as NPR’s correspondent based in Israel, reporting on stories

happening throughout the Middle East. She was one of the first reporters to enter Libya after the 2011 Arab Spring uprising began and spent months painting a deep and vivid portrait of a country at war. Often at great personal risk, she captured history in the making with stunning insight, courage and humanity.

Before her assignment to Jerusalem, Garcia-Navarro served for more than a year as NPR News’ Baghdad bureau chief and before as NPR’s foreign correspondent in Mexico City.

Garcia-Navarro got her start in journalism as a freelancer with the BBC World Service and Voice of America, reporting from Cuba, Syria, Panama, and Europe.

She later became a producer for Associated Press Television News before moving to AP Radio. While there, she covered post-September 11 events in Afghanistan and developments in Jerusalem. In 2002, she began a two-year reporting stint based in Iraq.

Weekend Edition Sunday features interviews with newsmakers, artists, scientists, politicians, musicians, writers, theologians and historians. The highlight for many listeners is the puzzle segment with Puzzlemaster Will Shortz, the crossword puzzle editor of The New York Times.

Weekend Edition Saturday wraps up the week’s news and offers analysis and features on a range of topics including arts, sports, entertainment, and human interest.

The two-hour program is hosted by NPR’s Scott Simon.

Tune in to Weekend Edition on WFIU1 Saturdays and Sundays from 8 to 10 a.m.
