I, Too

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides, 
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America

~ Langston Hughes

Hola, welcome to my Jazz playlist. I behold Jazz as the best American creation by black ancestors. If you are black be proud for this gift from the ancestors and try your best to honor them, if you are not black be grateful for this gift because music is spiritual and these vibrations will elevate you too. If I were to become stranded on an island and I could only choose one music genre, it would be jazz because it has an inclusive spirit that is able to evoke an unlimited gamut of emotions. Deep respect and gratitude to the ancestors. And to everyone who to this day continue to study, write, broadcast and play jazz, I commend you because life would not be the same without Jazz 🥰

About the photo: 

That is my son who has been studying/playing Jazz Drums here in New Orleans for the past six years. In this photo he is overlooking New Orleans, the birth place of jazz. That is the mighty Mississippi river at the very end 🥁🎻 🎹🎷🎺🎸 🥰✨

Loz Contreras - Sarajevo (Blackmill Remix)

Man with a Movie Camera is a 2003 soundtrack album by The Cinematic Orchestra, released on 26 May, 2003 on Ninja Tune. The album contains re-workings and thematic reprises of some of the music from their previous album, Every Day, including the track "Man with a Movie Camera" and an instrumental version of "All Things to All Men" entitled "All Things"

Work It! (Man With The Movie C

The Awakening Of A Woman (Burn

Track #4 from my protest album/EP entitled, The Mourning After, in tribute to the fallen men, women, and children of color who were murdered by a racist regime of evil police officers who never deserved to wear the badge, let alone handle a gun. It is not happenstance, not "fearing for their life", and certainly not justice when the vast majority of the murderers in blue are let off with little to no punishment at all.

I had to release my rage into the healing power of music, and it was this remake of Duke Pearson & Donald Byrd's "Cristo Redentor" that I felt was an appropriate song of mourning to express my deep sadness and anger at the systemic racism that was designed to bring about what few are calling (but is accurately) a genocide.

Anyway, I enlisted the talents of Jill Scott/Bootsy Collin tour trumpeter, Farnell Newton (@fnbeatsgalore), to cover Donald's iconic solo, but in his style and voicing, to express this sadness and melancholy through music. Yes, it comes out smooth and lounge jazzy, but it begins with a gunshot just to let you know that this is anything but relaxed and chill...more so a soulful way of saying goodbye while also preparing for the fight ahead for freedom, justice, and equality amongst ALL people...but if Black Lives Don't Matter in that equation...then ALL LIVES TRULY DON'T!

"Black Requiem (Cristo Redentor)" - feat Farnell Newton

Road Trip

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning in his grip

Love is like a sin, my love,
For the ones that feel it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm

For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again
