Sunday Jazz Continues on this last Sunday Jazz program of 2019. It's also the last episode from the 2010's, when I really got this concept going!! Being retrospective, checking through my archives, ran across this Stanley Turrentine and Milt Jackson post, with their classic track Sister Sanctified, off their collaborative album called Cherry.. Retro- futuristic? Sister Sanctified was sampled on My Philosophy by Boogie Down Productions from By All Means Necessary released in '88, concepts were revolutionary..
Retro - futuristic? there was a bad link, now we'll reload not trying to miss it!! Check out the players and the track, as that classic jazz funk / soul jazz sound is revisited!!!
Digital Crate Digging Continues on this Terrible / Terrific Tuesday where things can play out either way.. Had my share of ups and downs like I heard Gladys Knight mention on her song with the Pips but a dude never slips down the rabbit hole or into the abyss; I kept it moving, that's how I play!! Keeping a positive perspective, that's how I play it; life? it's respected! it's a blessing to be here!! a dude is trying to enjoy it... The enemy / opposition disrespected, so we prayed about!! toil and strife? dealt with it!! blessings continue to flow but the apparatus is still stressing a bro!! the music? we'll deploy it.. ....to the front lines, a good mood enhancer when the system fronts on mine!! at the moment listening to Billy Cobham - "Heather" (DJ Spivey's 4am Edit) The sound selector mentioned Souls Of Mischief / George Duke / Brecker Brother influences as we use this sound to slide through these portals and conduits; can you dig it?
