The Council for Quality Growth is highlighting CeeLo Green, Chae Stephen and Alexandra Jackson at the 2024 Four Pillar Tribute. Taking place on October 10, 2024, at the Georgia World Congress Center, this year’s event will honor the Russell family—the late Herman J. Russell Sr., Donata Russell Ross, H. Jerome Russell, and Michael Russell Sr., for their lasting contributions to the city of Atlanta.

The tribute will feature an extraordinary musical lineup, with supporting music provided by Lil’ John Roberts and the Senators, a renowned jazz band celebrated for their electrifying performances. Led by the iconic drummer Lil’ John Roberts, whose career spans over three decades, the band is expected to bring a powerful and soulful energy to the event, setting the stage for a night of memorable music.

The main musical tribute will include performances by three prominent artists, each paying homage to musical legends beloved by the late Herman J. Russell Sr.: CeeLo Green, a five-time Grammy-winning artist and Atlanta native, will perform a selection from the legendary Sam Cooke. Chae Stephen, an established R&B and soul artist in the Atlanta region, will perform a piece by Marvin Gaye. Alexandra Jackson, a versatile vocalist known for her work in jazz, bossa nova, and R&B, will perform a piece by the legendary Billie Holiday.

In addition to these performances, the evening will begin with a special opening act from Herman J. Russell Sr.’s alma mater, the Tuskegee University “Golden Voices” Concert Choir, renowned for their inspiring renditions of gospel and classical music.
