"Whitey On the moon" by Gil Scott-Heron, much more so than the obvious "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised".

Even Chomsky picked up on it...

I wonder what the meeting went like at Billboard in 1975 when Atlantic Records sent in this as an advertisement?

Coke is a wonderful drug... apparently.

For the "youngsters" who don't know Jimmy Scott, if you were into Twin Peaks - Jimmy sang "Sycamore Trees" in one of the most out-there episodes.

Playing/replaying album recorded in 2009, Jimmy's renditions of "Motherless Child" and "For Once In My Life" are both haunting given his back story.

The promo for the film makes much of the fact that Scott never got credits and his material was often held back.

It's 2026, the film is nowhere.

I've been reading Dave Haslam's "Young Hearts Run Free - The Real Story of The 1970s" - there is some I just don't remember, a lot from outside my sphere, plus a few mistakes but it is otherwise a great catchall for the culture of the 70's in the UK

I listen to very few #jazzsky live albums, they are often disappointing. I for one think #recordstoreday is a bore for jazz, "hey look we have an "undiscovered" Bill Evans live".

I know many people love live releases. Someone posted hundreds of live Jazz concert recordings on the Internet Archive.

anoher forgotten or overlooked album produced by #CreedTaylor - Johnny Hodges, 1967 -Blue Notes, Verve.

Many of the 12 albums Hodges recorded for Verve included the word Blue in the album title - this as with all the others isn't an odd title at all, it features elements of the blues in the tracks.

Happy 4th. I had to think for a while about my best American album and it's this.

There are simply so many people from so many tribes and it is just so good. Everything.

Winding down with this tonight, amuch overlooked #grantgreen album produced by #creedtaylor for Verve Records.

It's a very laid back performance by Green, "Willow Weep For Me" and "Cantaloupe Woman" are great tracks, Larry Young (Organ) and Harold Vick (T. Sax) bot get to shine.

Is Jazz Really Dead? Insights from 1970s Scene
Time for another look at the long running theme of "jazz is dead" - this from 1973. Peter Levison's views on its resurgence in the 1970s following the successful Newport Jazz Festival. He notes the renewed interest among younger audiences, evidenced by sold-out CTI All-Star concerts. Levison acknowledges the importance of integrating new talent alongside established figures to sustain jazz's growth. Despite challenges, initiatives like educational programs and innovative performances aim to foster appreciation for this uniquely American art form. Levinson though did have a vested interest
