JAZZ is not exclusive.
JAZZ is not elite.
JAZZ does not have to be erudite.
JAZZ is for the body and soul.
JAZZ is music that lifts and breaks chains,
opens the mind and says, thou SHALL.
JAZZ is night and day,
thunder and silence.
JAZZ is now and then,
lush with history and full of promise.
JAZZ is a Meshuggah drum solo
and a funk guitar riff,
a Dilla beat and a
boogie bass line.
JAZZ is all or nothing at all.
truth
truth nugget #77
I’m very thankful that I was raised a Catholic by a family who never emphasised dogma, ritual and sin but instead, truth, forgiveness and above all, love. because of that, I believe that the Easter season is supposed to be about the triumph of love and courage over hate and fear. I’m not religious but I respectfully wish everyone hope in that triumph.

Common at the VMA’s, “HIPHOP has always been about truth and has been a powerful instrument of social change, from Melle Mel to Public Enemy to Kendrick Lamar. HIPHOP has always presented a voice for the revolution.”

truth is not a concept. the world is so screwed because people conveniently think they can take the truth and run with it. unless you are living with a medical mental eccentricity (depending on whether you know it or not), you will know what I mean when I say truth comes from your gut. we know it isn’t absolute and we know it is all colours of the spectrum, but we CAN feel the truth in our very gut and we should live by that. truth is not a concept. it should be a way of life.
