This Day in History CoffeeTalk Jazz Network history October 7th 2011. Where did the time go?
Throwing it back to a powerful moment at the Boys & Girls Club in Los Angeles south central Los Angeles. Bridgette Lewis, the late El Hoyt, and the legendary Mr. Paul Jackson Jr. (PJ), one of the most prolific guitarists in music history. From Thriller with Michael Jackson to timeless tracks with Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross, PJ’s fingerprints are on the soundtrack of our lives.
But beyond the accolades, it’s his humility that shines brightest. This event was held in honor of friend and mentor of the boys and girl club who transitioned due to cancer. His spirit filled the room.
