Cheryl Fabio and the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame (Fall History Miniseries feat. Dorothy Lazard)

Instead of the usual narrative format, this episode is a one-on-one interview with Cheryl Fabio, the director of “Evolutionary Blues: West Oakland’s Music Legacy.” I interviewed Cheryl for my KPFA radio show this week and I enjoyed the interview so much, I've decided to share it as a podcast. Also, I wanted to spread the word about Cheryl’s upcoming film &amp; artist talk series “Resistance, Resilience &amp; Anticipation: A fresh look at the Black Arts Movement in Oakland.” For more about those events, check out: https://www.swfcenter4sj.org/ For info &amp; upcoming screenings of “Evolutionary Blues,” check out: https://evolutionarybluesfilm.com/If you enjoy the episode, please support East Bay Yesterday: https://www.patreon.com/eastbayyesterday Since this interview is about the history of West Oakland blues, I also wanted to re-share one of my favorite episodes from 2017. Here is the original description of that program, which follows the Q&amp;A with Cheryl Fabio…“The queen of the West Coast blues”: Sugar Pie DeSanto serves up sweet &amp; spicy storiesFrom jumping off pianos with James Brown to running the streets with Etta James, Sugar Pie DeSanto has led a wild life. In this episode, the soul singer shares memories of performing in Oakland’s legendary 1950s blues clubs, stunning global audiences with her risqué moves, and making grown men cry. As Sugar Pie puts it, “I’m one of the roughest women you could ever know. I ain’t to be played with!” Listen now to find out what happened when one aggressive fan learned this lesson the hard way.Special thanks to Mr. Jim Moore and Jasman Records.
