Breaking down comedy and life with comedian Donnell Rawlings

Reducing Donnell Rawlings solely to his role on "Chappelle's Show" would be a significant mistake. It clearly undermines his multifaceted talent and diverse contributions to comedy. Rawlings undeniably made his mark as a memorable cast member on the acclaimed sketch comedy series, but his comedic abilities extend far beyond that particular show. Rawlings has appeared in "The Wire", "BMF", "Soul", "WINNING TIME: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynasty", "Black Jesus" and much more. This stand up juggernaut has an impressive […]

Bassist Linda May Han Oh Is A Musician Rooted In Curiosity

Becky Harlan / NPR "I think a part of growth in general is being comfortable in your own skin," Linda May Han Oh says, "and being comfortable with really who you are." What that means in her case is manifold: A jazz bassist of undeniable authority, with the working affiliations to show for it; a Malaysia-born, Australia-raised resident of Harlem, N.Y.; a composer-orchestrator of burgeoning stature; an artist working to change perceptions of "women in jazz," both through positive action […]
