KASHMERE STAGE BAND WITH THUNDER SOUL DOCUMENTARY

In 1967, Texan music teacher Conrad O. Johnson formed a band with his students at Kashmere High School that combined the passion of soul and the energy of funk with the dexterous arrangements of big band jazz. So began the 45-year legacy of the legendary Kashmere Stage Band, with inspirational teaching, racial pride and instrumental prowess conjuring up orchestral funk. 

The band’s recordings have been collected by crate-diggers, feted (and sampled) by luminaries like DJ Shadow, and reissued by respected label Stones Throw. This program combines the heart-warming, foot-stomping tribute of award-winning Kashmere Stage Band documentary Thunder Soul, narrated by Jamie Foxx, with a rare live performance by members of the reunited band.

By arrangement with Funkdafied.
