Thelonius Reborn as the Dee Oh Double Gee
If we rhyme metaphorically , reach back historically, spit out new styles just like Miles, compose tunes that Trane, John Coltrane, would b proud to compile, or like the Bird, Charlie Parker, bravely brake rules, take take take, the music apart, do you honor Darwinian progress? Do you demand excellent art? Then you might might b from Hip- Hop, yeah, that\'s where many geniuses start.
It\'s simple, it\'s like nature, there is no fakers, take Kanye West or Chet Baker. Satchmo begets Biggy, Tupac was influenced by Dizzy. Discerning ears are blessed each time new evolutions arise, that redesign and define, unleashing musical highs with no conpromise. Parallels and similarities to cool people like you shud b no suprise. Stretching art just for art\'s sake, eyes eyes eyes, on no other prize.
Words and Chords fired with a furious frenzy and a ferocious fluidity. Lines and rhymes scatted so scathingly slow they create this surreal serenity. Might have you boppin to Hampton, Sir Duke , or Miss Ella? Or tip you to trippin on Twista, Tribe Quest, Rockafella.
Monk and Snoop, Thelonius and the D. O. Double G ,they both got game.. Basie the Count, Clan of Wu Tang, the same. Dedicating days, weeks, even years carefully, lovingly crafting perfection. Giants, and I do mean Giants, of Hip- Hop and Jazz,share that improvisational connection.
But alas, amidst greatness we are graced, and humbly each day,I say, Let\'s embrace the soulful caress that each genre conveys. That Cool Cat may take hip- hop, that Pretty Lady may take jazz, or you can twist the order around. Cause each delivers a pleasure that is non- stop, and that, my amazing people, is How Music should Sound!!
