Marvin Gaye’s VulnerableEmerging from a generation rooted in conformity, Marvin Gaye was a nonconformist. Morethan a superb vocalist and subtle composer, Gaye was a visionary who expressed the tenor ofhis times. Over a 10-year period starting in the late 1960s, Gaye embarked on a passionproject that he later described as the best stuff he ever recorded. The project became knownas Vulnerable. Recording songs such as “Why Did I Choose You?,” “She Needs Me,” “FunnyNot Much,” “This Will Make You Laugh,” and “The Shadow of Your Smile” with Bobby Scottand his orchestra, Vulnerable represents Gaye’s commitment to creating a successfuljazz record.

In homage to this landmark recording and Gaye’s artistic contributions, Revive MusicGroup, in collaboration with Berklee, is honored to present the first live performance ofVulnerable in its entirety, alongside Gaye’s popular and lesser-known compositions. Specialguest vocalists Aloe Blacc, Bilal, and Chris Turner embody Gaye’s musical spirit andsoulfulness, and I thank them for contributing their artistry to this project. Music directorMiguel Atwood-Ferguson inspired this project with his deep appreciation for the originalrecording. I’m proud to have the Berklee Neo-Soul Ensemble and Berklee ContemporarySymphony Orchestra adding their talent, energy, and musicianship to this performance.

Having recorded on over 400 albums, films, and TVcommercials, he effortlessly bridges diverse genres and generations ofmusical and cultural elements into cohesive and magical presentations.One of Atwood-Ferguson’s greatest achievements to date was in 2009when he composed and conducted the historic Suite for Ma Dukesconcert in LA, leading over 60 musicians in tribute to the transcendent

modern hip-hop producer J Dilla.Having studied classical music since the age of four and been exposed to cultures and art

from all around the world, Atwood-Ferguson is now able to enjoy a very diverse career,collaborating with many amazing artists. He has had the great fortune to perform or recordwith musical giants such as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Henry Mancini, Esa-PekkaSalonen, Wayne Shorter, Billy Higgins, Ray Brown, Brad Mehldau, Hubert Laws, Seu Jorge, Dr.Dre, Will.i.am, Madlib, and many others.

While performing on violin and viola and arranging highly personal arrangements areAtwood-Ferguson’s main pursuits, he also is an educator, DJ, producer, music director, andcomposer. He leads many of his own ensembles and has had incredible artists like Seu Jorge,Sly Stone, George Clinton, Shuggie Otis, Flying Lotus, Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner, andmany others as his special guests.

In 2011, he had the honor of providing Oprah Winfrey with the music behind the mainpromo of her new TV network , OWN, with the intro to his duet with Will.i.am off of the BlackEyed Peas’ album The Beginning. Other recent achievements include his first TED talk and thesuccessful premiere of his concerto for flute, viola, and 70-piece orchestra entitled “Love’sBeckoning,” which was commissioned by the Symphonic Jazz Orchestra through a NationalEndowment for the Arts grant.

Atwood-Ferguson plans to release his first album in 2015 on the Los Angeles indielabel Brainfeeder.

Aloe BlaccAloe Blacc's major-label debut album, Lift Your Spirit (XIX Recordings/Interscope Records), debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.The set follows up Blacc’s collaboration as vocalist and cowriter onwell-known DJ/producer Avicii’s track “Wake Me Up,” a song that hitthe Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on its Hot Dance ClubSongs and Dance/Electronic Songs charts, as well as topped charts inmore than 100 countries.

BilalBorn and raised in Philadelphia, Bilal developed his aptitude for music inchurch, but it wasn’t until his father introduced him to jazz and hebegan attending the Philadelphia High School for Creative PerformingArts that Bilal began to envision his future in songwriting. “I wanted tosing jazz, play jazz, and write jazz tunes,” he says.

While attending the New School for Social Research in New York,Bilal meshed his classical approach with New York City nightlife,

collaborating with Soulquarians, the Roots, Common, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, and AaronColeman of the Spin Doctors. A demo made with Coleman led to a record deal with Interscope

Records. His album, 1st Born Second, was released in 2001 and hailed by critics though hewould eschew media efforts to box him into the neo-soul movement.

Following the mysterious leak of his 2006 album, Love For Sale, Bilal placed more focus ontouring, playing jazz-fusion/rock type funk. His third record, Airtight’s Revenge, released underthe independent label Plug Research, thrilled critics while providing listeners with a retrospectivejourney and an experimental fusion of jazz, hip-hop, electronic, soul, and blues with themes oflove, religion, politics, and spirituality. His latest album, A Love Surreal, is now available.

Chris TurnerChris Turner is a classically trained crooner, a soul singer for the ageswith a classic sound that defies his years. From falsetto to scatting tolaying down smooth and creative phrasings, Turner is bringing old soulback with a fresh sound.

Turner graduated from the New School University for Jazz andContemporary Music and immediately started working as an in-demandbacking singer for the neo-soul and R&B scene in New York. He has

opened up for jazz greats like Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Michael Brecker and hastoured internationally with Esperanza Spalding, Bilal, Harvey Mason Sr., Dianne Reeves, andothers. In February 2013, Turner released his first single, “Liquid Love,” the video for whichdebuted on BET.

Neo-Soul EnsembleThe Neo-Soul Ensemble was formed by director Skip Smith with the aim of bringing togethertalented Berklee students to perform contemporary R&B at its highest level. The ensemble hasbacked up many well-known artists, including Bilal, Lalah Hathaway, Meshell Ndegeocello, andDavid Dyson. Former students of the Neo-Soul Ensemble are now performing with Rihanna,Nicki Minaj, gospel great John P. Kee, and Pharrell Williams, as well as writing and producingfor many recording artists.

Berklee Contemporary Symphony OrchestraSince its debut in 2008, the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra (BCSO) has set out ona course to distinguish itself from other Boston-area orchestras. The ensemble has nearly 100members and is the first full symphonic group ever assembled at Berklee. Possessing a distinctBerklee twist, the group specializes in programming contemporary works—particularly thoseby living composers—but juxtaposes them with pieces from the traditional orchestral repertoire.“We want to explore different repertoires and types of music—symphonic material that doesnot necessarily belong to the traditional symphonic repertoire. BCSO is firmly connected to theroots of the symphonic repertoire. We’re interested in adding to the continuum of great orchestralmusic,” says assistant professor Francisco Noya, the BCSO’s music director and conductor.
