Donald Byrd – Sky High

Sunday Jazz Continues check these menus as brunch is served, due to this East Coast time frame.

Timing might be different in the zone you’re living in, it’s all a mind game…

…all that matters is, are you holding it down? are you staying in contact with your mind  “all up in the game” ; that’s word from Yusef Lateef and Art Farmer!

It’s almost like a short sermon provided by those brothers as Sunday morning transitions into Sunday afternoon; we’re clocking the harvest like a farmer!

Coming through on local, national, international and intergalactic fronts trying to ring the alarm for ya! like this track by Donald Byrd we’re flying Sky High!

Lamont Johnson – Calypso After Nine

Sunday Jazz Continues; we’re chilling out on a hot Sunday evening in Atlanta..

Still sheltering in place, not trying to get caught out there like Herman Cain may he rest in peace; per Bernell Trammell I mentioned some are playing for the wrong team earlier..

…plus others still try to use race to bait their base like Laura Ingraham but I heard my constituents are in pain, so we’re just trying to jam, we’ve got other work to do!!

We’re checking out some soul jazz /  jazz funk from  Lamont Johnson – with a track called Calypso After Nine.
