A Must Listen: Patrice Rushen & Karen Briggs

Posted by Greg L on February 6, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Probably a bit out of character for this blog, but we’re going to go with it nevertheless. I’ve absolutely no talent when it comes to music, but I do listen well and the interplay between those two ladies, both classically trained, is nothing short of amazing. It’s hard to characterize the style, it’s not quite jazz but not quite classical. It’s sort of a mixture between the two. No sound enhancers or mixers here, these ladies are just straight up playing the instruments. Astounding talent. Give a listen.

“If we remain poor and dependent, the riches of other men will not avail us. If we are ignorant, the intelligence of other men will do but little for us. If we are foolish, the wisdom of other men will not guide us. If we are wasteful of time and money, the economy of other men will only make our destitution the more disgraceful and hurtful. “
Frederick Douglass
“If you form the habit of going by what you hear others say about someone, or going by what others think about someone, instead of searching that thing out for yourself and seeing for yourself, you will be walking west when you think you’re going east, and you will be walking east when you think you’re going west. This generation, especially of our people, has a burden, more so than any other time in history. The most important thing we can learn to do today is think for ourselves.”
Malcolm X
