2026-01-08 15:00 - 19:00 | Hannan Center Black Box Theater, 4750 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI, 48201, United States
King Sophia
This episode will center Spike Lee’s father, Bill Lee, and the film, She’s Gotta Have It, for which he composed the classic soundtrack. The lecture will include a comprehensive account of his complex story and musical evolution, and how he influenced and set the stage for his son. In particular, this conversation will highlight Lee’s prominence as an bassist, band leader, composer, arranger, and producer, as the wide reach of his sound included many recordings and projects that, due to being popularized by a different lead artist, were not properly associated with Lee in the public eye. Featured on over 250 records and in several of his son’s movies, his influence is clear. Throughout the evening, The King’s Trio will perform a thoughtfully curated selection of these songs as we explore how they laid the foundation for arrangers and producers thereafter.
