Guitarist Richard Smith Says 'Let's Roll'

   

LOS ANGELES (24 March 2021): Last March, guitarist Richard Smith was in a battle for his life. Before the doctors and nurses administered the experimental infusions that he hoped would strangle the stage 3 cancer gripping his throat, his daily response to their inquiries asking if he was ready for the four-hour process that he went through for 45 consecutive days became an affirmation: “Let’s roll.” A year later and now cancer-free, Smith is set to drop his first US single in five years, “Let’s Roll,” which he wrote with Billboard chart-topping guitarist Adam Hawley, who produced the uplifting track featuring saxophonist-flutist Jeff Kashiwa.

Shortly before Smith’s diagnosis, the former chair of the contemporary guitar department at the Thornton School of Music at USC’s former student, Hawley, sent a demo track of the single that goes for playlist adds on March 29 from Chillharmonic Media. “Let’s Roll” was to become Smith’s daily mantra before infusions.

“The clinical trial drug that I volunteered for was a daily four hours of intravenous infusion, as well as radiation and chemotherapy that drained my mojo to zombie levels every day. Fortunately, the drug is now in production and is a game-changer,” said Smith, who lost 40 pounds during treatment and has an eight-inch scar on his neck from the surgery.

“Let’s Roll” previews Smith’s forthcoming 13th album, “Language of the Soul,” which he plans to drop in the Fall.

“The album title comes from a piece written by great South American poet Pablo Neruda, who I discovered while on tour in Argentina and have become a huge fan. The new album is a lively collection of pieces that I recorded over the last two years while living in Finland, Italy, Greece, London and while isolated here in LA. I wanted to get back in my ‘LA lane’ and working with Adam (Hawley) helped me get back in the musical headspace to produce music for an American audience,” said Smith who remains a full professor at USC.

Smith’s “SOuLIDIFIED” (2003) album spent 17 weeks in the top 10 in terms of airplay and his 2015 set, “Tangos,” spent more than five months in the top 10 of the indie and contemporary jazz charts. As a featured sideman and collaborator, Smith has recorded or shared the stage with contemporary jazz royalty, including Richard Elliot, Peter White, Kenny G, Dave Koz, Gerald Albright, Mindi Abair, Eric Marienthal, Brian Bromberg, Warren Hill, Everette Harp and Dan Siegel. Opportunities over the last ten years to perform, compose and record with international artists and at universities aboard afforded Smith the opportunity to combine his two loves.

“I can’t separate my passion for making music from my passion for teaching it. So, I committed to a musical life away from the States. I get summers off from USC, so I hop on a plane the day after classes and spend May to September abroad. My music has changed a lot, doing arrangements that suit European concert goers. However, when I met American actress Nancy Lee Grahn (General Hospital), I decided to return to full-time life in the United States and get back to my West Coast modern jazz roots.”

Although Smith describes the exuberant R&B instrumental groove on “Let’s Roll” as “very West Coast, very LA,” songs from the upcoming album tackle weightier subjects than just “palm trees, ocean breezes, and great vibes.”     

“A few songs from ‘Language of the Soul’ have political origins. A big part of songwriting history is songs of protest and struggle. We are in such turbulent times that as an artist, it is impossible to avoid the opportunity to share the inspiration and social commentary that such times provide,” said Smith.

It’s possible that Smith’s cancer experiences may inspire more music that will appear on “Language of the Soul.”   

“A typical thing that cancer survivors say is that no one understands except the people who have been through it. That is so true, but it helps those who haven’t been through it to share some of the details – whether it helps them personally or one of their loved ones as they go through it.”

'Executive Order,' PAFF's Closing Night Film, A Highly-Charged Drama

 

By Darlene Donloe

The Pan African Film Festival’s (PAFF) closing night film is director Lázaro Ramos’s highly-charged drama, “Executive Order.” 

The film, set in a dystopian near-future in Rio de Janeiro, begins when a lawyer sues the Brazilian government for reparation of all descendants of African slaves in the country. 

In a surprising or maybe not so surprising turn of events, the authoritarian government responds by signing an executive order sending all Black citizens to Africa as an excuse to repay the debts of slavery. 

In the vein of the paper bag test of years gone by instituted to decide whether or not a Black person was too dark to be admitted in a particular place, citizens are measured by their skin color, hunted, and exiled to Africa against their will.

Brazilians of primarily European lineage impose a “solution” to racial inequality wherein Brazil finds a much cheaper way to deal with the issue of expensive reparations, instead of paying the descendants of enslaved people the “back wages” they are due because their ancestors, forced to work as free labor, are historically owed.

While the army and police enforce the law, a man (Alfred Enoch) enlists his uncle to find his wife, a doctor who has gone underground so she won’t be deported.  The man, however, is holed up in his apartment with his cousin, refusing to leave. 

This film brings back memories of Playwright Douglas Turner Ward’s play, Day of Absence, which premiered off-off-Broadway in 1965.   That play tells the story of a Southern town where all of its Black residents suddenly disappear, but on their own terms. The production stars Black actors in whiteface in a reverse minstrel show style. It explores themes of whiteness and discrimination against Black Americans through its insertion of Black actors into farcical situations inhabiting white bodies.

Ramos does a masterful turn in building the drama, as we suddenly see Black people being rounded up and forced to literally go back to Africa. Ramos is a renowned actor from Bahia, Brazil who found fame in soap operas and movies. This is his first work as a director. He obviously did his homework. He makes good use of light – keeping it dark and grayish to signify the angst and evilness of the moment.

In a bold and daring move, Ramos shows the government literally taking the words, “Go back to where you came from” to send their “melanin citizens” (saying “black” has been outlawed) to Africa.

The film is disturbing on several levels. It’s in your face and doesn’t back down. It forces the viewer to fully imagine the possibilities.

Ramos co-wrote the script with Lusa Silvestre. He is married to the film’s co-star Tais Araujo.

Alfred Enoch, best known for his turn on How To Get Away With Murder, gives a stirring performance.  The shock, anger, and disbelief of what’s happening to him in his country, and going through the drama not knowing whether his wife has been caught and sent back – is crucial to building the suspense.

Enoch’s character has no idea that his wife has made it to the underground where a group of revolutionaries is planning their next move. 

The scary part about Executive Order is that the movie doesn't feel so far-fetched. It is totally believable.

Ethnic cleansing is not a crazy idea in the least.

The film, directed by Lazaro Ramos, stars Alfred Enoch, Tais Araujo, Seu Jorge, Adirana Esteves, Renata Sorrah,

On the DONLOE SCALE, D (don’t bother), O (oh, no), N (needs work), L (likable), O (oh, yeah), and E (excellent), 'Executive Order' gets an L (likable).

Perry, Day and Daniels Talk About The Making of 'The United States vs. Billie Holiday' During PAFF

By Darlene Donloe

The buzz around Hollywood is circling around Lee Daniels’ latest drama, “The United States vs. Billie Holiday,” starring singer Andra Day as the legendary singer. 

The film, currently running on HULU, garnered Day her first Golden Globe nomination and first win as the jazz great. 

As part of the Pan African Film Festival’s programming, a Conversation with Tyler Perry, Andra Day & Lee Daniels was held virtually on Wednesday, March 10. 

Perry interviewed Day and Daniels about the making of the movie. 

‘The United States vs. Billie Holiday’ tells the story of one of the greatest jazz legends in history. 

Beginning in the 1940's in New York City, the federal government targeted Holiday in a growing effort to escalate and racialize the war on drugs, ultimately aiming to stop her from singing her controversial and heart-wrenching ballad, "Strange Fruit." Led by Oscar® nominated director Lee Daniels and introducing Grammy® nominated singer-songwriter Andra Day, The United States vs. Billie Holiday unapologetically presents the icon's complicated, irrepressible life. Screenplay writer Suzan-Lori Parks, the first African American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, pens this intimate tale of a fierce trailblazer whose defiance through music helped usher in the civil rights movement. 

NAACP Image Award® Nominee Trevante Rhodes and Emmy® Nominee Natasha Lyonne co-star along with Garrett Hedlund, Miss Lawrence, Rob Morgan, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Evan Ross, Tyler James Williams, Tone Bell, and Erik LaRay Harvey.

Below is the above-mentioned conversation led by Perry (TP), who questioned Daniels (LD) and Day (AD).

TP: No one Black men has been as instrumental in getting Black women some awards as you, Lee. You had Halle Berry in “Monsters Ball,” you have Monique in “Precious” and now Andra Day in ‘The United States vs. Billie Holiday”. 

LD: It feels good. It feels good to be able to understand Black women. They were really supportive of me as a kid. My mom and my aunts were very supportive. I understand the colors that Black women have. I try to dimensionalize Black women. I don’t think about it, I just do it. 

TP: Andra, you lose yourself in this film. To see you embody her. I thought, did they re-master her songs?  How did you do that?

AD: Doubling specific vision for Billie. Lee said, he didn't want an imitation, he wanted an interpretation.

LD: Tyler, this woman is spiritual. Tyler, she prays as much as you.  She snatches me and she jumps into prayer.

AD: It was the center of everything we did on set. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke, but I had to do all that. That gravel was part of her character. 

TP: I was four when “Lady Sings the Blues” came out. It was a big deal. She (Diana Ross) was up against Cicely Tyson for “Sounder.” You (Andra) were one-year-old when Whoopi won an award. Have you taken all this stuff in? 

AD: Not really. I don’t remember hearing my full name. But then the room went wild.

TP:  Someone this powerful and dominating. Lee, why Billie Holiday? Why tell this story?

LD: She (Billie) was a civil rights leader. I did not know that. We really need to know as Black people who our heroes are. You do not know she kicked up civil rights with that song. She stood up against the government. Before Martin Luther King, before Rosa Parks, she was there. (J. Edgar) Hoover couldn't penetrate Harlem, so they sent in someone Black. The song was the nail in the coffin. She was defiant and said, ‘No, I ain’t doing nothing.’

AD: With Billie, it’s in her gut and in her shoulders. I truly believe, in my experience and prayers, I asked for her. I do believe that she wanted her story told. That it was supposed to be told. 

LD: The studio wouldn't give me nickel over a nickel, Tyler. I knew that wasn’t the case for another movie.

TP: I’m going to give you $7 million or $9 million, but I’m going to give $30 million for another guy to tell the story of white people. It’s just flat out unfair. 

LD: You can't rely on the system. You have to be your own system.  

TP: How do you keep your motivation when you know it's just about being Black?

LD: It is prayer, Tyler.   It was my first film sober. Clear and sober.  When the timing is right, the timing is right. I was not – not going to win. I had to honor Billie. She didn't have a support team like I had. She had the opposite. The government was paying off her friends.

TP: The beautiful thing is you said, they didn’t win, but I’m going to win. 

AD: His openness of his own addiction and how transparent he was. We said we had to do this for him and for our family members who have been taken from us through addiction. 

LD: When you think about what Black people have gone through, I’m surprised we’re all not experiencing addiction. I  can't believe we are thriving as beautifully as we are. 

TP: It was so bold to take on so many subjects of her. The addiction, the music. I never knew about her being a queer woman. I did not know what she was dealing with, with the government. 

LD: I did not understand ‘Strange Fruit’ really until I read Suzan Lori Parks’s book. I realized the impact after that. 

AD: People asked me how I did the dying scene. I had to die. I had to die in my body. Singing ‘Strange Fruit.’ This is an ugly song. This is not a good song. Don’t clap. Don’t say how good it is. It’s not a good song. Don’t tell me how great I sing it. It’s not a good song. If you think it’s a good song, go out and do something.
