I am very happy to learn that Regina Carter will play music of William Grant Still at Oakland University Oct. 3. I have linked to this post from http://AfriClassical.blogspot.com My website, www.AfriClassical.com, includes a lengthy biographical profile of William Grant Still, and a complete list of his works, compiled by Dr. Dominique-René de Lerma of Lawrence University.
