Tulsa, OK native Fred Jones, announced today the partnership with Hidden Beach Recordings (Universal Music Group) and One Tulsa, LLC to a worldwide distribution deal for the compilation musical project entitled: 1921: The Sound of Black Wall Street. The goal of the 1921: The Sound of Black Wall Street project is to speak to the hearts of mankind with melodies and spoken words of healing and restoration after nearly one hundred years of silence. To be released in 2021, The compilation will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Black Wall Street Massacre which claimed the lives of Black Tulsa residents at the hand of an angry white mob.

Hidden Beach Recordings CEO Steve McKeever and One Tulsa CEO Jones share a decades long relationship, the pair having met in the mid 1990s while McKeever was the President of MoJazz and EVP of Motown and Jones was manager for the late Wayman Tisdale on his debut CD Power Forward, a Top 5 Billboard Jazz release. Over the ensuing years, Jones marketed numerous projects in association with Hidden Beach by superstar artists such as Darius Rucker, Bebe Winans and the Unwrapped series. In 2004, Jones joined the marketing and public relations campaign for Jill Scott’s “Beautifully Human” album containing the Grammy award-winning “Cross Your Mind“.

“I am very proud of Fred Jones and the One Tulsa project’s efforts to bring attention to the atrocities and horror of the destruction of Black Wall Street nearly 100 years ago. The history books need to accurately reflect the remarkable accomplishments and success of African Americans in Tulsa. Hidden Beach was founded to shine a light on stories like Black Wall Street by giving a voice to like-minded descendants who hold the same spirit and potential.

Over a year ago we agreed to join forces with One Tulsa to amplify a chapter of history that should never be forgotten. We are excited about the project, its core mission, and distributing The Sound of Black Wall Street to the world,” said McKeever.
