Sunday Morning Jazz Post

Sunday morning makes you feel so lovely (as Outkast once stated on the 'any given sunday' ost).

In a Jazz mood today. First record I threw on was Yusef Lateef's "Hush n Thunder". Great record, Lateef is in his classic moody-funk bag here (yeah I just coined that).

I was actually put on to Mr. Lateef through some records I inheirated from my Grandmother (rest her soul). They must've been sitting in the bottom of this drawer for some time (I never saw her play one and she didn't have a record player any longer). One which I crawled and walked by for years. "The Complete Yusef Lateef". Also from her I got Eddie Harris's "Silver Cycles", which put me up on Eddie as well. Grandma on the cutting edge of jazz.

Sunday morning.

It's pancake time.





Love you Grandma.

First thought: weather report's "nubian sundance" is funky as hell.

Posting from my blackberry

Pretty cool.

Been doing a lot of digging, been keeping busy with a lil production work, headed to brooklyn hip hop festival tomorrow. And my mpc 1000 pads are due to be replaced soon. I need that pressure sensitivity working right. just rambling.

Another new joint....

Straight outta the mpc, unmastered. This will be on my upcoming EP.

Into Soul? Check this out

Kenny Raw from Philadelphia just released his new album "Left Handed Scissors". It's full of some ridiculous Soul/Funk edits.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

And it's free. Can't beat that.

And if your ever in Philly, keep an eye out, you might be lucky enough to catch him spinning one of his killer funk sets at 45 rotations per minute.
