This blog is named after a book by Jacqueline Jones Royster. While my goals for this blog are not quite as lofty as Ms. Royster's (promoting literacy and social change) I do intend to address ideas, philosophies, and policies that need to change. Since I consider myself a sociologist I will focus on anything social, which basically covers everything under the sun and then some. Topics will include my take on politics, music, sports, family issues, literature, to name a few.
I am a middle-aged woman who recently relocated to the Dallas area after spending the last sixteen years in Long Beach California. I am originally from Flint, Michigan. Although I have lived in the West and I am currently in the south, my belief system is strongly rooted in my midwestern upbringing.
I enjoy bowling and rollerskating whenever I get the chance. I also spend much of my time reading and listening to music.
I decided to go with two of my favorite jazz selections of all time. I had a great deal of jazz music to choose from, but I chose Herbie Mann's "Waterbed" because it's a funky tuned that was actually a featured song for the "Soul Train" line during the seventies. The second selection is one from the late, great Miles Davis, quite simply titled "So What". Enjoy!

I don't like much jazz, but I can definitely get iknto Herbie and Miles. Man reminds me of the sounds I heard as a child growing up. But as an adult, the only type of jazz I would buy (other than the Duke) was hard bop, and Miles was at the top of the heap, always.
Pjazzy - these are two of my favorites when it comes to jazz, and the videos were great picks for them.
Thanks so much, btw, for your comment and your kind words on my last 2 posts. Your thoughts, and those of others, made me feel much better about the whole issue!

PJazzy! You brought in a great floutist, a great and unique perspective. And Mile, what else can be said. Good job, I like your picks. Happy OSF.
PJ,
Miles was the man, at least when it came to jazz. Love me some, "So What."
I don't like much jazz, but I can definitely get iknto Herbie and Miles. Man reminds me of the sounds I heard as a child growing up. But as an adult, the only type of jazz I would buy (other than the Duke) was hard bop, and Miles was at the top of the heap, always.
That was a twist to the jazz choices good one!
"So What" is one of my absolute favorites!
Have a great weekend!
You brought out the big guns with Miles. I like...
Very nice picks! Miles has been sighted all over the blogosphere for OSF!!
