In celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth, #BlackMusic and the 60th Anniversary of Amiri Baraka's revolutionary book "Blues People," the @apollotheater presents "The Blues and Its People" Saturday, February 18!Tickets and info:

Reposted from @apollotheater “Where the music goes, that’s where the people go. The music reflects the people.” – #AmiriBaraka

From field hollers to gospel to the blues and jazz, the evolution of the Black experience in America can be traced through the evolution of Black music.

Amiri Baraka explored these parallels in his book “Blues People”. In honor of the work’s 60th anniversary, we’re thrilled to present an immersive evening of original music featuring composer/trumpeter #RussellGunn @russellgunn and his Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra, vocalist #JazzmeiaHorn @artistryofjazzhorn, drummer #WeedieBraimah @weediebraimah, poet #jessicaCaremoore @jessicacaremoor, and more in a 24-piece ensemble!

Celebrate the expanse of Black creativity at “The Blues and Its People” for one night only on The Apollo stage. bit.ly/Apollo_BluesPeople

Portraits of Blues People (Round 1)

Quick and dirty portrait illustrations of some of my musical heroes: Big Walter Horton, Skip James, Big Mama Thornton and R.L. Burnside, respectively. This is a series that I hope to continue, time willing.

See these as and when they get done, on my Instagram / (at) mixtape (dot) in.

I definitely prefer to avoid telling what to do and I am still learning and realize that there is still so much for me to know. For me, doing this writing is also a healing creative writing therapy for me. With that said for karmic reasons these series of stories is going to pertain to characters who lived on earth until at least the year 2094 with a work history listed from 2043 onwards. This is meant to be written from the fictional perspective of providing material for earth-based writers who are going to have stronger connections to heaven/celestial worlds by the year 4000 or sooner. For karmic reasons, I have to keep the common denominator of people who passed over in their sleep as part of the fiction based stories but keep out their age andor how long they live in case one of the generated names matches up with a real life circumstance in the future.Indirectly andor Directly Related to My Foodservices job I Stella Carrier am in the process of learning to create heaven on earth both for myself and those who surround me for both present and futureI Stella Carrier am in the process of allowing myself to be a channel for greater wisdom and intuition in all areas of my life both present and future.I Stella Carrier contribute my best in a creative manner for the highest good of myself and everyone around me in all areas of my life for both present and future.

Many of the schools and colleges in the Hampton Roads Virginia area are partnered with various schools and colleges within the Washington D.C. area. Her most recent work involved being a military cook  on the Norfolk Virginia base and doing part time work helping radio stations set up parties and events in both Norfolk Virginia and Virginia Beach Virginia with the occasional travel to certain places within the metropolitan Washington D.C. area and various Washington D.C. area colleges. Laura Pratt has had the chance to travel to various places internationally as many American radio stations have radio stations playing music with specialties in certain continents; for example by the year 2100 there is a radio station playing English language translated music from Europe and English language translated music from other parts of the world as well; Africa, Asia, Latin America, Australia, etc. Laura Pratt sometimes worked as a music DJ when she was alive and enjoyed music by Cascada even though she was not yet born when Cascada’s first song came out. However by the year 2080 Laura Pratt was able to secure many modeling jobs because of her physical resemblance to Cascada. Laura Pratt currently resides in a celestial world of Virginia Beach Virginia with easy access to other celestial places within the United States. Just 2 hours ago, Laura Pratt had the chance to visit an akashic record library that was near a celestial replica of American University in Washington D.C. As a result Pratt is being interviewed by Ella Shannon, a female living in the year 5200 in what is now Sweden. Ella Shannon works as a cook who divides her time between jobs in 2 different universities in Sweden and Switzerland. The transportation system built in place allows Ella Shannon to freely travel and work in both places with ease as she studies to do holiday internships  affiliated with modern day CNN and CNBC,.Upon meeting in a celestial world of houses fashioned from former universities and schools, complete with large libraries, Laura Pratt has somewhat of an idea/concept of the type of transportation that Ella Shannon takes. This is because less than 24 hours before Pratt passed away she accessed a modern train system that took her from Norfolk Virginia to a work related event/party in the span of just an hour.

It is not my place to judge the veracity of the sexual harassment claims at the Nashville public relations firm mentioned because I am blessed to work in a great work environment with leaders who keep the work environment sexual harassment free. However I wish to say this with the utmost respect the former Nashville PR firm employees who opened their own firms and chose to remain mum about their former employer boss are doing the right thing. Why do I say this: I had to learn the challenging way that even if your motive to speak out is to be brave and speak out for anyone who comes after you even if not sexual related that the person and or persons you are complaining about are well within their rights to follow you online, follow you to a company you work for and or you get the picture. Those employees keeping mum are doing the right thing even with opening their business because a former work colleague and or leader can easily follow another person online and or in person if they wanted to.Dolly Parton Exits Embattled Nashville PR Firm’s Roster, Along With Dozens of Other StarsBy Chris Williamhttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/dolly-parton-exits-embattled-nashville-190044504.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tuUpdate as of 10 am I intend to try to ask my husband today in regards to the following comment I wrote less than 10 hours earlier. I am going to ask my sweet husband about his take on the Pizzahut and Papa Johns controversy sometime after 5 hours from now as he is sleeping and because he influenced me to be open to eating both kinds of pizzas. I may be in the minority for my viewpoint yet I would like to think that more customers would weigh the price and cost of the pizza more frequently even when a sports promotion is involvedPizza Hut counters Papa John's claim of NFL hurting pizza salesBy Daniel Robertshttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/pizza-hut-counters-papa-johns-claim-nfl-hurting-pizza-sales-160156010.htmlI remember seeing some online media coverage of Robert Mercer and his daughter from late 2016 that connected them to a costume party featuring President Donald Trump, Kellyane Conway, and Steve Bannon I accepted by the time I had seen the costume party coverage/feature the reality of a Trump presidency even though I proudly voted for Hillary Clinton. I am guessing that Robert Mercer sees the obvious in that the United States is becoming a more multicultural society as the years go by and Robert Mercer probably wants to make it clear that he is on the right side of history with his racial viewpoints. I am also only speculating that Robert Mercer wants to make a clean and or acceptable break with coming up clean in the Robert Mueller investigation as Mercer probably knows there is much more to come in the popular and high profile investigation involving the Russia voting influence controversy/debate and that connection with President Donald Trump and some of the men and women in President Donald Trump's professional entourage.Bob Mercer, a prominent Trump backer, leaving hedge fundBy Steve Peoples Associated Presshttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/bob-mercer-prominent-trump-backer-180258100.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tuCascada Hotelhttps://www.cascada.ch/hotel_lucernehttp://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/20th-century-english-names.php#.WfyHoFtSzb0Pitbull Returns In 2018 To Headline Las Vegas Engagement 'Time Of Our Lives'Animation Websitehttps://www.funimation.com/whats-new/https://www.broadwayworld.com/las-vegas/article/Pitbull-Returns-In-2018-To-Headline-Las-Vegas-Engagement-Time-Of-Our-Lives-20171103Pink on her new album, Billy Joel and why she's over pop-star feuds by Mikael Woodhttp://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-pink-beautiful-trauma-20171011-htmlstory.htmlThe Most Expensive Restaurant in Every StateBy Cheyenne Buckingham https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/restaurantsandnews/the-most-expensive-restaurant-in-every-state/ss-AAuhyuw

Amiri Baraka, who passed away earlier this year, would have been 80 today. This book from him, Black Music, is one of my favorite collections of music journalism. The book focuses on his writings about jazz in the 60s, with him offering observations on Coltrane, Monk, Miles, and many others in their prime, but his observations remain relevant to current events in Hip-Hop and R&B. One thing I learned from his writing is if one wants to cover a genre or a major moment in music history, you have to also understand the cultural meaning of it and how social factors influenced the development of said music. The impact he had on music writing altered the way how black music in America is analyzed, and his contributions will live on for a very long time.
