Only A Few Act - The Rest

It's Like We're Suffering From An Identity Crisis, And That Identity Is In Our Arts And The Fact That We Don't Find It Chief Amongst Our Agendas To Teach Our Kids Who We Are As A Nation And The Battles We've Had On This Ground And How They've Been Successfully Resolved. We Can't Enjoy The Fruits Of The Labor Of Our Ancestors.

Jazz Music Creates So Many Phenomenal Figures.

If You Didn't Have The Amalgam Of Blacks And African-type Sensibility And European Sensibility, You Wouldn't Have Jazz. Even In The Negative And In The Positive Ways - If There Was No Slavery And The Abolition Of Slavery, There Would Be No Jazz.

Instead Of Imposing Your Will On Every Situation...focus On Including Everyone Else, And Just That Little Adjustment Of Attitude Gives You The Space To Understand Where And Who You Are.

Thank The Good Lord For A Job.
