  • Description

    Bill Withers & McCoy Tyner at SOUL 1971 (IMS-NET) was a rare and electrifying meeting of two musical powerhouses from different corners of Black American music - soul and jazz - captured during a dynamic moment in cultural history. Produced by Ellis Haizlip, a visionary who created space for Black artists, thinkers, and performers to share their work on their own terms - unfiltered, unapologetic, and with cultural depth. Bill Withers and McCoy Tyner at SOUL in 1971 is like witnessing two branches of the musical tree intertwining - one rooted in jazz legacy, the other blossoming into soul storytelling. It is rich, contemplative, and unforgettable. This live broadcast is bought to you here by Off Beat for your listening pleasure.
