I think the idea is now for blacks to write about the history of our music. It's time for that, because whites have been doing it all the time.

Alfred Nobel and the invention of the microphone.
HAVANA CUBA
I strongly believe that technology is here to help the art form, not to overwhelm it, but tragically, with a very few, each day more and more scarce exceptions, the invention of the microphone, that is credited to the German Emile Berliner in 1876

Benny Sharoni, an Israeli-born, Boston-based tenor saxophonist, can energize even the largest, most lackluster venue with his big-toned sound and ebullient phrasing, packed with intense emotion and spirituality, a vibrant hybrid of the hip and the holy."
Put it this way: Jazz is a good barometer of freedom… In its beginnings, the United States of America spawned certain ideals of freedom and independence through which, eventually, jazz was evolved, and the music is so free that many people say it is the only unhampered, unhindered expression of complete freedom yet produced in this country.~~~Duke Ellington
MASTER CLASS
His sounds were mellow soft and warm...
You'll feel his spirit hum a long...
John Coltrane, played love and magic....
Listen to the message of his song ~~~
Lyrics by: George V Johnson Jr
For me, music and life are all about style~~~Miles Davis
Cock your hat - angles are attitudes~~Frank Sinatra
