Later in the afternoon, there was a block party in South Memphis in memory of a young man called King Craddy who had been murdered several years ago. There was a DJ posted up on the block, and the rap artist Blac Youngsta was filming a new video down the street. As the evening progressed, the crowd grew larger and larger. 6/2/12
Smokey City is one of North Memphis’ oldest neighborhoods, allegedly named for the smoke from fires that early residents used to cook their meals and warm their houses. Each summer, the neighborhood sponsors a block party and picnic with a DJ, kids’ activities and plenty of grilled chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs. 6/2/12

On Sunday 5/13/12 they played a first set of free jazz that lasted about an hour, and after an intermission, a 20-minute second set.

The Alvin Fielder Houston Quartet was performing at the Alabama Art Kitchen in downtown Tuscaloosa. Sadly, it was the last night for the Kitchen, which is moving out of the historic Victorian building on University Boulevard which has been their home since 2010. Ultimately, they intend to continue their arts workshops, but they will no longer have a building.
