This is just fantastic. Jazz is perhaps the most American form of music and expression, and a genuine thread in the American cultural fabric. For it to have a place in the White House is a very special, if not overdue, moment in American music and it’s symboblic of democracy in art.
My first video blog. I think I’m going to start doing this more often. This is also a sort of response to Aaron Irizarry‘s video entry, in which he also included me in his wrap up.
Part of my installation will feature this very short remix/splice of The Enemy by perhaps the greatest rapper of all time – the one and only, and deceased, Big L of Harlem, NY.
Woke up with a song in my head that I haven’t heard in years and years. I couldn’t remember what album it was off of, but I soon discovered it. The song is Glynis by The Smashing Pumpkins. It was off a great compilation album that I now remember so well – but I can’t seem to find a download of it. Some great tracks! Great memories. Anyway, check out some vintage pumpkins. Kind of appropriate for Valentine’s Day. One love.
