RIBS TPTD: Free the Jena 6 - SOUNDS OF PROTEST 2

Filed under: R&B, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, music, podcasts/mixes, soul

The Jena 6 protest down in Louisiana happened one week ago today. Since then I have read in some places where people have questioned the worth and/or purpose of the march, especially since the judicial system in Jena is still playing games and Mychal Bell has not been released from jail yet (even though his conviction has been overturned by the Court of Appeals). To that kind of thinking I say…

“The D-Day invasion of France on June 6, 1944 didn’t end WWII either. But it was a good first step towards eventual victory.”

Last week our Triple Play Thurs-Day was called “Sounds Of Protest”, a collection of songs and jazz poetry that took us back to a time when music artists penned songs that spoke out against racism, brutality, human suffering and injustice. A time when there was a “Message In The Music”, as we like to say around here. The great thing (or the sad thing if you want to look at it that way) about these songs is that they are still as relevant today as they were when they first came out, even though some of them are over 20-30 years old.

Well, the wrongs haven’t been made right yet, and the fight against injustice is an ongoing battle. On the positive side, though, I think there are an increasing number of people in the country (of all colors) that are waking up to this reality and committing themselves to take the necessary actions to actually make America a land of equal opportunity, equal justice and freedom for all.

With that in mind, our Rhythms In Black Satin TPTD for this week is another collection of “protest” songs that serve to remind us that things still are not as they should be. This week we present to you…

Stevie Wonder - Cash In Your Face [Hotter Than July]
O’Jays - Message In Our Music [Message In The Music]

The creaking of a wooden sailing ship and the sounds of an angry sea breaking against its hull opens up our mix this week, followed by the unmistakable sound of a whip being cracked back and forth. Ship Ahoy by the The O’Jays is an poignant ballad that reminds us about how the majority of our people first arrived in this country. My favorite “blues-ician” as he sometimes like to call himself, Gil Scott-Heron, steps up next to tell us the tale the state penitentiary in Angola, Louisiana and the plight of Gary Tyler, another black man seemingly unjustly imprisoned in Louisiana; while The Undisputed Truth reminds us that Smiling Faces Sometimes can tell lies. Excellent advice indeed.

Fear not though, the mix isn’t all dreariness and despair. 2Pac brings along a message of hope and determination with his take on Nikki Giovanni’s The Rose That Grew From Concrete, Curtis Mayfield exhorts us to Move On Up, and The New Birth says, Take This Train to Freedom. Of course, a “sounds of protest” mix just wouldn’t be the same without some Sly & The Family Stone. Their Everyday People is a classic as it calls for universal togetherness by showing us how none of us can get along!

GSH does an encore with Third World Revolution. The Isley Brothers warn us that The Heat Is On because of the actions (or inaction if you will) by Big Brother (Stevie Wonder). Meanwhile, Curtis tells us Right On For The Darkness, while Lou Rawls recounts growing up on a Dead End Street. Les McCann and Eddie Harris treat us to my favorite cut in the whole mix, their classic Compared To What from the Swiss Movement LP. A finger-poppin’, jazzy romp of a political statement about political ineffectiveness and the hardships of day-to-day living.

Finally we wrap it up with Stevie Wonder’s clever Cash In Your Face, which addresses the very real problem of housing discrimination; and leave you on a hopeful note while reminding you that there’s a Message In Our Music by The O’Jays.

Enjoy!

RIBS TPTD: Free the Jena 6 - SOUNDS OF PROTEST

September 20, 2007 by tgrundy · 7 Comments
Filed under: R&B, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, music, podcasts/mixes, soul

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” –Mohandas Gandhi

I’ve been meaning to put together a playlist like this, originally to be called “Songs of Protest”, for some time now but kept pushing it back for one reason or another. However, over the last couple of weeks when the enormity and importance of the Jena 6 situation finally hit me (yeah, I’m not proud of the fact but I’ll admit it, I caught onto this travesty of justice late in the game) I knew the time was right to buckle down and pull it together.

Now I won’t bore you with a long, drawn out “up on my soapbox” soliloquy about how I feel about this situation (although I am really tempted to do just that), cause there are many, many other places on the ‘Net where people are discussing this much more eloquently than I ever could.

However… let me just make a few important “IMHO” points about the Jena 6 case in general and this TPTD mix in particular before you read any further (some of which may make you decide that you will not go on past this point and leave right now). The choice, as they say, is yours…

About the Jena 6:

The crux of the Jena 6 is justice, specifically equal justice (of which it seems there has been none in Jena, Louisiana!)
Is racism and bigotry involved? Simple answer: “yes”. Even the most cynical person out there who looks at the facts and makes an honest assessment should agree with that.

About this mix:

This mix is not, I repeat… is not “politically correct”. Some of the selections make liberal use of curse words and other racially divisive terms like “nigger” and “whitey”. (yes, I used the word nigger and spelled it out instead of using the acceptable and “politically correct” term ‘N-word’. Personally, I never liked that term to begin with and hate the fact that it’s become so popularized. It’s like pouring sugar over Castor oil, you’re still swallowing something nasty it just doesn’t taste quite as bad)
I wouldn’t play this mix in the office without headphones. At least not loudly.

Ultimately, this mix, while it is my small effort to make a statement of protest (at the injustices being committed) and a show of support for the six young men in Jena, it has another far greater purpose: to make you think. Think about how we all (black, white, red, yellow, brown… purple or whatever!) are slowly destroying ourselves AND our country by our inhumanity to each other.

Hey, they buried the word nigger several weeks ago, right? Maybe if they had buried racism, bigotry, hate and injustice instead they could have left that poor, little ‘N’ word alone. It wouldn’t have meant anything anymore.

This week we present to you:

A special presentation…
As we do our small (but important) part…
In the name of EQUAL RIGHTS and JUSTICE… for all!

Jena 6: Free The Jena 6…

September 17, 2007 by tgrundy · 3 Comments
Filed under: General/Misc

Go to this guy’s MySpace site to listen to this jam…

Lyrics to “Free The Jena 6″ by Jasiri X:

Justice for Everybody Not African
Indians and Latin kids lock them up and pack them in
Crime pays so the DA will trap them in
It’s the new millennium slave trafficking
Call Weezy, Call Baby, Call BG, Call Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, Call Master P
Soulja Slim would have rode but he in the ground
Somebody call Young Turk he ‘bout to get out
Call Romeo he ballin’ on a scholarship
Don’t be silenced by record label politics
Original Man so I’ll be the genesis you know what the mission is:
We gonna FREE THE JENA 6

Jena, Louisiana they call it the Deep South
In other words black folks keep out
Or stay in your place its OK if you’re playing it safe
Or a wide grin stay on your face
Kids raised to hate
Before age 8 they learn to tie nooses this is what a lie produces
And 10 years later you beside the student in high school
In his mind you’re a visitor N—- it’s my school
This is my room don’t you even try coon
It sets the stage for a showdown at high noon
Lunchtime in the cafeteria one mind thinking blacks inferior
One time under a tree that cracks the exterior and reveals the truth
Must of forgot that you’re still a spook
You’ll remember when you see this noose see this tree was used
To hang your ancestors after we’d party and barbecue
This led to rising tension when the ones who did it got a brief suspension
And you know our spirit we will not surrender we always fight back

It’s on now its white vs. black like a war
A black kid was jumped it opened the door
A white man pulled a shotgun at a convenience store on black children
They didn’t put their hands to the ceiling
They disarmed the man and then ran from the building
Unless you’re born black you can’t understand the feeling
They beat that boy down they never planned to kill him
Them young brothers just wanted to defend they friends
And in the end to suspend is all it should have been

But they went further
They was charged as grown men for attempted murder
For a fight in high school
They were made an example in Jena that whites rule
And you won’t see this on the Nightly News
Cause they’ll likely choose dog fighting and blues
Michael Vick being stripped of his lightning shoes
Not 6 teenagers being charged despite the rules
Or a racist prosecutor trying to take our future
This is madness children behind bars this is savage
As we spend money on cars, jewelry and fabric
Our children need our help to heal this damage
When you don’t speak the truth watch your realness vanish
So sign the petition organize for the victims
Please give your money, your time, and your wisdom
And to Mychal Bell were gonna fight for your freedom
And we want a million dollars for every night you keep him

It’s Justice for Everybody Not African
Indians and Latin kids lock them up and pack them in
Crime pays so the DA will trap them in
It’s the new millennium slave trafficking
Call Weezy, Call Baby, Call BG, Call Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, Call Master P
Soulja Slim would have rode but he in the ground
Somebody call Young Turk he bout to get out
Call Romeo he ballin’ on a scholarship
Don’t be silenced by record label politics
Original Man so I’ll be the genesis you know what the mission is:
We gonna FREE THE JENA 6

RIBS TPTD: The Mind Of Gil Scott-Heron

September 13, 2007 by tgrundy · 3 Comments
Filed under: R&B, Triple Play Thurs-Day, jazz, music, podcasts/mixes, soul

Gil Scott-Heron. Poet. Musician. Activist.

GSH (as his fans like to refer to him) is another on of my favorite music artists that, unfortunately, you do not hear played much anymore. It’s a shame because Gil was unique during his heyday in the 70s and 80s in that he was about the only music artist blending jazz, poetry and political commentary. Now, of course, the intermixing of these three themes was nothing new per se, as many artists did this during those uniquely exciting and turbulent years of the 60s. It’s just that by the time of the mid-to-late 70s and into the 80s it had more or less died out… except for Gil.

We have a special treat on tap for you this week as we delve deeply into the mind of Gil Scott-Heron and examine his poetry, his music, and most importantly the inspiring and often politically critical messages in his words and lyrics. In keeping with the “triple play” theme of our little Thursday get togethers, we’ve cooked up not 1, not 2, but a 3-mix offering of Gil Scott-Heron for you today covering a wide range of the material he’s produced over the years.

For some of you (over the age of 45) a lot of this may be a walk down memory lane as Gil espouses his views on the Watergate scandal that brought down the Nixon administration, the hypocrisy of the Ronald Reagan administration, and the overblown, over exaggerated Bicentennial celebration, in addition to sharp, biting commentary about life and struggles in the inner city and the rest of the world. For the rest of you, well… sit back, get comfortable and open up your mind, as you are about to get a valuable education and history lesson.

This week we present to you:

Gil Scott-Heron, The People’s Poet

RIBS TPTD: Gil Scott-Heron, part 1
Alternate (if you have a problem using the javascript pop-up): Click here.
Right-click here to download .MP3 file (92Mb, 1:19:40)

Playlist, part 1:

Inner City Blues [Reflections]
New York City [It's Your World]
The Get Out Of The Ghetto Blues [Free Will]
Gun [Reflections]
H2Ogate Blues [Winter In America]
Guerilla [The First Minute Of A New Day]
Delta Man (Where I’m Comin’ From) [Bridges]
No Knock [Free Will]
Message To The Messengers [Spirits]
The Train From Washington [Real Eyes]
Washington, D.C. [Moving Target]
“B” Movie [Reflections]
Pieces Of A Man [Pieces Of A Man]
Paint It Black [Small Talk at 125th & Lennox]
Winter In America [The First Minute Of A New Day]

We start off the mix with four selections of commentary on life in the inner city. I’ve always loved Gil’s adaptation of Marvin’s Inner City Blues and how he weaves his own magic with it. And Gun from the “Reflections” LP is a catchy tune with a nice beat and a powerful message. Even if you are a casual GSH fan, H2Ogate Blues should need no introduction as it may be one of his more recognizable tunes. My two favorites in the Part 1 mix are Message To The Messengers from his last studio LP, “Spirits” which is a plea to this generation’s rappers to be about something and speak up for positive changes in the community; and “B”-Movie from “Reflections” (set on top of a catchy beat/chant) which is, IMHO, one of his sharpest and humorously biting political commentaries on the Reagan Whitehouse:

“The idea concerns the fact that this country wants nostalgia. They want to go back as far as they can — even if it’s only as far as last week. Not to face now or tomorrow, but to face backwards. And yesterday was the day of our cinema heroes riding to the rescue at the last possible moment. The day of the man in the white hat or the man on the white horse or the man who always came to save America at the last moment — someone always came to save America at the last moment — especially in ‘B’ movies. And when America found itself having a hard time facing the future, they looked for people like John Wayne. But since John Wayne was no longer available, they settled for Ronald Reagan — and it has placed us in a situation that we can only look at — like a ‘B’ movie.”

We continue in Part 2 where we left off in Part 1 and start it off with the classic, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Also included in mix #2 is Bicentennial Blues, another bit of jazz poetry/social commentary that should make you think; and Johannesburg, Gil’s look at the (at the time) apartheid regime ruling South Africa. The pearls of this mix though are at the end with the three part, The Other Side, which sounds eerily autobiographical if you are familiar with some of the demons of addiction that Gil has be dealing with these past few years. And we finish up with my partner’s all time favorite GSH song which should be recognizable to most of you, The Bottle.

The Other Side, part II [Spirits]
The Other Side, part III [Spirits]
The Bottle [Winter In America]

With the third and final mix in our Gil Scott-Heron Triple Play Thurs-Day, I wanted to focus on Gil’s “ballads” (if I can loosely use that term to describe these selections). One of the things that sometimes gets lost in an analysis of the “People’s Poet” is his musical talent and the beautiful melodies he created, especially during the period when he was teamed up with Brian Jackson. Most of the selections here in Part 3 are on the slow/mellow side composed of poignant, melodic music, yet still containing those thought provoking lyrics that are Gil’s trademark.

Morning Thoughts is simply a beautiful “love song” both musically and lyrically, as is A Lovely Day. A Very Precious Time is one of those songs the just “touches me” for some unexplained reason ever since I first heard it so many years ago. And there is no man on this earth who has a daughter who won’t understand and “feel” Your Daddy Loves You.

We momentarily take the tempo of the mix up a notch or two with Is That Jazz? and Hello Sunday! Hello Road!, and then bring it back down to “jazzy mellow” with my favorite “travelin’ down the road” cut, 95 South (All Of The Places We’ve Been). And finally we finish up and take you on home with messages of peace and perseverance in the form of Peace Go With You Brother and Don’t Give Up.

Whew! Hope you enjoyed this extended excursion into the music and mind of, again IMHO, an underrated musician/composer/poet/activist. Remember, while Gil Scott-Heron is around there will always be a: Message In The Music.

Enjoy!

George “Dr. Funkenstein” Clinton…

Sometimes I just think of how boring and mundane my last two years of high school and all of my college years would have been without this man. When I think of the “Soundtrack Of My Life” P-Funk (in one form or another) is definitely the cornerstone at the foundation of 99 44/100% of the party times back in the day!

As we close out this 5-day, 5-mix, Labor Day holiday P-Funk funkfest, we take the Flash Light and shine it on the man himself, George Clinton.

“Thank you, George!” The world would be a much, much less funky place without you.

We want Bootsy! Bootsy! Bootsy! We want Bootsy!

Next to George “Dr. Funkenstein” Clinton, Bootsy has to be my favorite Funk-a-teer. Today, as we continue cruising through the holiday weekend on the Mothership, we turn our focus squarely on one of the baddest bass players this side of Larry Graham.
