Marvin Gaye: What’s Going On at 50 via 92Y (Live Stream)
A Concert Celebration – Christian McBride, music director
May 21. 7PM EDT. $15.

Fifty years ago today, Marvin Gaye released his masterpiece, What’s Going On. It's an album full of probing social commentary, taking on racism and inequality, police brutality and worries about the environment, all couched in rich, almost orchestral arrangements and delivered in Gaye’s soulful voice. A half century later, with those same issues still before us, Grammy winning bassist Christian McBride leads an all-star cast in a soul-jazz journey through What’s Going On in a live streaming tribute concert on Friday night, May 21, from the 92^nd Street Y.
