Was Clifford Brown the Bach of Jazz?

Why have Clifford Brown’s trumpet solos always seemed so dazzling, miraculously cogent, and nearly inevitable in their structure and progression? This essay by Lynn Rene Bayley delineates a number of striking parallels between the thinking behind Clifford Brown’s solo structures and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. It remains up to us to fathom just how either of them actually did it – especially as improvisers; but maybe we will ultimately just sit back and marvel at their genius – as we always have.

Lois Mailou Jones was an artist who painted and influenced others during the Harlem Renaissance and beyond, during her long teaching and artistic career.

Jones was the only African-American female painter of the 1930s and 1940s to achieve fame abroad, and the earliest whose subjects extend beyond the realm of portraiture.

She was born in Boston, Massachusetts and is buried on Martha’s Vineyard in the Oak Bluffs Cemetery.

Whizzing pass a bid rig truck today, I thought to myself, “it must be pretty frustrating watching all the cars speed by you as you barely truck along. And I can hear the Spirit of God speak saying ” they don’t carry the same load you do.“ They have a greater load, a greater responsibility and the process takes more time because of what they carry. It may take time but don’t get in their way.
Don’t worry about those that seem to get be getting ahead, you carry a greater responsibility, a greater anointing, a greater purpose. It’s ok you’ll get there. #keeptruckin

I marvel at this old piano. Its stings are a bit out of tune and the keys are worn and the ivory is a little dull and its ebony’s pentatonic melody isn’t so shiny and polished any more but when it is gently rendered by the Master Pianist, its harmonious melody will bring you to tears with a sound that is uniquely it’s own. I love old pianos. #ifyouonlyknew #mysong #melodies #ironic #ironicbehavior #happybirthdaytome #Oct1
