AN EVENING WITH

Booker T. Jones

DISCUSSING HIS MEMOIR

Time Is Tight: My Life, Note by Note

November 5, 8pm

Bootleg Theater

Booker T. Jones is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter,

record producer and arranger. Best known as the front man

of the band Booker T. & the MG’s, he won a Grammy

Award for lifetime achievement and along with the band,

was inducted into

the Rock and Roll

Hall of Fame in

1993. He continues
      to record and tour
      both as a solo artist
      and as head of

the Booker T’s Stax Revue.

From Booker T. Jones’s

earliest years in segregated

Memphis, music was the driving force in his

life. While he worked paper routes and played gigs in local

nightclubs to pay for lessons and support his family, Jones,

on the side, was also recording sessions in what became the

famous Stax Studios — all while still in high school. Not

long after, he would form the genre-defining group Booker

T. and the MG’s, whose recordings went on to sell millions

of copies, win a place inRolling Stone’slist of top 500

songs of all time, and help forge collaborations with some

of the era’s most influential artists, including Otis Redding,

Wilson Pickett, and Sam & Dave.

Time is Tightis the deeply moving account of how Jones

balanced the brutality of the segregationist South with the

loving support of his family and community, all while

transforming a burgeoning studio into a musical mecca.

He shares the inner workings of the Stax label, and a

fascinating portrait of working with many of the era’s most

legendary performers — Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and

Tom Jones among them.

“I think of musicians as a brotherhood with a purpose,

and our purpose is being realized right now, so if I have

anything to say it’s about that: what music means to

people, what we can give people with our work,

whether they use it for pleasure or for spiritual events,

weddings, or just living day-to-day. It’s about connecting

to each other, understanding each other. I think you’re

not ever completely alone out here if you’re connecting

through music or art.”—Booker T. Jones
