All’inizio di questa storia c’è un ragazzino che la notte scappa di casa per andare ad ascoltare i grandi che suonano. A volte lo fanno nelle osterie, altre nei circoli di partito, più spesso sulle aie o nelle stalle. Siamo nella Romagna di inizio Novecento. E c’è chi, dopo aver lavorato tutto il giorno, non rinuncia a sognare. Il ragazzino si chiama Secondo Casadei. Pur destinato a diventare sarto come il padre, sarà abbastanza caparbio da farsi comprare un violino e da diventare capo orchestra diciottenne. Arrivando a esibirsi centinaia di volte l’anno e a scrivere, con “Romagna mia”, una delle canzoni italiane più famose al mondo.

The Blind Boys of Alabama are the quintessential Gospel vocal group, and the longest-running musical institution in America. Their story intersects with pivotal moments and issues in American history and is an ideal prism through which to trace music, culture, history, and race in America. Spirit of the Century invites listeners to follow along the Blind Boys’ eight-decade journey together from a segregated trade school, through the rough and tumble indie record game and grinding tour schedule of the golden age of gospel.

Story
In the early '60s, four friends from Liverpool formed a band. But this is not the 'fab four' story we know... Mary, Sylvia, Valerie and Pamela - also known as The Liverbirds - were one of the world's first all-female rock'n'roll bands. At an early gig, backstage at the Cavern Club, a young John Lennon told them that 'girls don't play guitars'. But they took that as a challenge. Despite the early scepticism, they won over tough crowds, toured stadiums, recorded two hit albums, and played with the Kinks, Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry - all in the space of just five years.

Story
1959 saw Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the other members of Miles's sextet come together to record the seminal jazz album of all time Kind of Blue. 3 Shades of Blue is a magnificent blended biography on the meandering paths which led Miles, Coltrane and Evans to the mountaintop of 1959 and the aftermath. It's a book about music, business, race, addiction and the cities that gave jazz its home; from New York and LA to Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City. Kaplan meditates on creativity and the great forebears of this golden age who would take the music down strange new paths.
