On Thursday August 18th, 2023, a 25-piece Rotary Connection 222 ensemble (under the musical direction of Junius Paul) took the stage at Millennium Park in Downtown Chicago to perform & celebrate the music & legacy of Charles Stepney. The program was divided into 3 parts - Stepney: Producer & Arranger, Stepney: Composer, and Stepney: Samples & Sync - with each section introduced by The Stepney Sisters and a short video created by @Brian Ashby. Looking back and savoring the memory of it all, please enjoy this final video from the program, Brian's sizzling cut featuring some of the better known (perhaps widely unknown) Stepney samples & syncs.
