Before You Go: Music Memories and The Smiths
Before You Go co-host Nicole Franklin has the honor of inviting her longtime friend Juanita Smith who shares memories of her composer husband Hale Smith with Bryant Monteilh and the audience. It's a walk through musical history as Hale Smith's work in the genres of classical, jazz and spirituals brought him, Juanita and their family from Cleveland, Ohio to New York City.
Upon arriving in NYC, Juanita quickly found work at the United Nations and Hale was surrounded by a nucleus of talent which included Kathleen Battle, Randy Weston, Melba Liston, Dizzy Gillespie, Ron Carter, Ahmad Jamal and more. Juanita is now the publisher of her late husband's spiritual arrangements and because of her impeccable memory, her stories are filled with evidentiary facts and fascinating encounters.
This episode originally aired on KBLA Talk 1580 in Los Angeles.

746th FEAF Band
During World War II, while weapons, ammunition, ships, planes, tanks, etc, were always a big focus, theatre commanders also understood the value of troop morale and went to great lengths to secure things like Coca-Cola, or ice cream, or beer, movies, or music for their troops – even in the most far flung areas of the war. Music was a particularly satisfying treat – and military bands were a big part of this. Many of these bands played shows for the troops very close to the front lines. The 746th FEAF Band was one such band and an album they recorded in 1945 is up for a 2021 Grammy. To discuss the 746th FEAF Band, we sat down with Jason Burt, a historian and history teacher, and the man behind the effort to see a group of World War II veterans honored with one of music’s biggest awards.
