In the African American tradition the end of life ceremony is called a 'Homegoing Celebration'. Today on the Houston Jazz Spotlight we are having a musical 'Homegoing Celebration' for two giants from the Houston scene. The sensational vocalist and song stylist, Ms. Yvonne Washington and legendary blues guitarist and band leader, Mr Milton Hopkins Sr (cousin of Sam Lightnin Hopkins) both of these masters left the stage earlier this year.
The Houston Jazz Spotlight is a labor of love by Visual Artist, Jazz Historian, and DJ, Tierney L. Malone.
