Aloe Blacc, Bilal, Chris Turner, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Berklee Neo-Soul Ensemble & Contemporary Symphony Orchestra Perform Tribute To Storied Marvin Gaye Album Dec. 4
BOSTON, MA. (Top40 Charts) Berklee's 2014-15 Signature Music Series continues as Berklee and Revive Music present the first live performance of Marvin Gaye's storied album, Vulnerable, on December 4. The concert features special guest Aloe Blacc, who co-wrote and sang on Avicii's chart-topping single "Wake Me Up," and whose current album, Lift Your Spirit, includes the hit song "I'm the Man."

The all-star lineup also includes Bilal, a genre-bedning R&B/jazz vocalist who has collaborated with Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Common; funk/soul crooner Chris Turner, who has toured with Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson, and Chris Brown; and multi-instrumentalist Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, who arranged and conducted the J Dilla tribute album, A Suite for Ma Dukes, and has appeared on more than 300 recordings, from Ray Charles and Henry Mancini to Erykah Badu and Flying Lotus. The guest artists will be backed by the Berklee Neo-Soul Ensemble, directed by associate professor Skip Smith, and the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra. Atwood-Ferguson will serve as music director.

Over a 10-year period starting in 1966, Gaye embarked on a passion project, a collection of orchestral torch songs that he later described as the best material he ever recorded. The album was originally set to be released in 1979 under the title, The Ballads, but it was shelved for nearly two decades. In 1997, Motown finally released the album, renamed Vulnerable, featuring songs such as "Why Did I Choose You?," "She Needs Me," "Funny (Not Much)," "This Will Make You Laugh," and "The Shadows of Your Smile."

Vulnerable: A Marvin Gaye Tribute takes place on Thursday, December 4, 8:00 p.m., at the Berklee Performance Center (BPC), 136 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston. Tickets are $38 and $28, and available at berklee.edu/bpc or the BPC Box Office. For more information, call 617-747-2261. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
