Yes, the Kennedy Center is a cherished institution and should be protected at all costs. But don’t forget, the performing arts are happening all around you, all the time. Go see local bands, your fave Indy artists, community orchestras, etc. in small venues in your own neighborhoods!

“All in all, this is exemplary music, every man on the case, showing that there is life left aplenty in the classic Blue Note organ combo style, especially when played with this kind of verve. A great band to see live: look out for them.” @atlanticusjazz.bsky.social @jazzwisemagazine.bsky.social

Listening to BÖC’s cover of “Born to Be Wild” from their amazing live album On Your Feet or On Your Knees. Possibly the greatest psychedelic freak out ever captured on tape. When Buck and Eric drag those guitar necks across each other, tho… Wait for it! #musiciansky youtu.be/j09CtvjsRYE?...

“Up is Down” is an Alt-Jazz-Rock protest song, a bonus track only on the Bandcamp version of the new Stickman album Direct Message. Today feels like a good day to get it out there. #musiciansky #jazzsky #protestsong #jazzfusion #stickman stickmanbanddc.bandcamp.com/track/up-is-...

An image showing the lyrics to the song “Up Is Down”.

Lyrics:

Stateship aground
Democracy unwound
Silence resounds
Complacency hidebound

Lowlife becrowned
Mendacity astounds
Proceeds confound
Rapacity unbound

Upshot showdown
Kleptocracy impound
Uprise takedown
Insurgency downtown

Contemplate
Educate
Elevate
Universality (celebrate)

Congregate
Agitate
Eradicate

Reliving
Up is down
Day is night
In is out
Left is right

Contemplate
Educate
Elevate
Universality (celebrate)

Advocate
Demonstrate
Overwhelmingly (overcome)

Congregate
Agitate
Eradicate
Corporatocracy (liquidate)

Potentate
Adjudicate
Incarcerate

Everything’s
Upside down
Inside out
Day is night
Black is white
Right is wrong
Left is right
Up is down

Just spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell on the phone for 20 minutes. He told me the melody notes to Giant Steps together form Messiaen’s Mode 3, then scatted 15 perfect choruses, never once using the notes E, Ab or C. As he hung up he said “Tune’s in Eb, muthafucka!” #jazzsky #giantsteps

And 30 (!) years ago, you st. was released. DC’s U St. aka “Black Broadway” was coming back to life 20+ years after the ‘69 riots. This band was an augmented version of my trio that hosted Monday nite jam sessions thru the 90’s #jazzsky #youst. #peterfraizequintet youtu.be/xbRlwLYD17Q?...
