Real with it when we drop this Afternoon Jazz courtesy of Nicholas Payton with a track called Big George off of his Smoke Sessions project!

Norman Connors – Mother Of The Future

Sunday Jazz Continues on this Labor Day Holiday Weekend; at the moment we’re chilling out in the lab…

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on, a labor of futility / the futility of labor? mentioned in Ecclesiastes 2:18-23, now you can catch me undergoing this sonic rehab..

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on as the toil and strife goes on to another level, manipulated by another devil?

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on, bear witness to the2020 Freedom Summer; a new edition of the 1964 version, on another level?

Spotted a mural of that version over on Sunset Avenue in the West End of Atlanta; Ralph David Abernathy, Hosea Williams and MLK and John Lewis represented..

Spotted others swerving at the Trap Music Museum out off of Northside Drive but that’s another story as this breakbeat science is represented..

Retro- futuristic? Norman Connors mentioned Mother Of The Future, check out the players and the track..

Letting go of the negative notion, she was accused of being the daughter of chaos earlier by the naysayers, she had to show them how it’s done / she had to “holla back”
