The Stax Music Academy’s summer session closes with a chance for the kids to flex their soul fingers before a live audience, and in this they will have a little help. Joining the students for this “A Journey of the Soul” concert are a couple of Memphis-music luminaries. Grammy-certified saxophonist Kirk Whalum โย who also happens to be president and CEO of the Soulsville Foundation, which runs both the Stax Music Academy and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music โ will be on hand. And flanking him will be a representative of the label’s golden age: trumpet player and one half of the Memphis Horns, Wayne Jackson. The concert is Friday, June 25th, at 7 p.m., at the Victory University auditorium (formerly Crichton College) at 255 N. Highland. Tickets are $10. Purchase advance tickets at the Stax Museum or call 946-2535.
