”It’s not easy, it’s not easy. I couldn’t do it if I just didn’t passionately believe that it’s the right thing to do. You know, I have so many opportunities for this country, and I just don’t want to see us fall backwards — no.”–Tommy Carcetti

on thursday nights i was routinely handed my ass at the world stage’s weekly jam session in leimert park. while it took a long time before i actually got up on the stage to play my sax and usually only very early in the evening before it got hardcore, i remember that time as being full of encouragement and lessons and i was witness to some of the most amazing musical performances that were full of soul and mad skill and fire and ice. the fellas were always full of stories and telling me who i should listen to and make sure i check thisnthat out. eric dolphy. john coltrane. vi redd. cannonball adderly. wayne shorter. yusef lateef. rahsaan roland kirk. dotdotdot… their recordings, their real book pages, the myths surrounding them became my concentrated universe. and are my touchstones today.
this new series called “Get” on evlu radio are those gems that strike some chord and remain part of the permanent record collection of the evlu djs. that chord possibly shaped by a smell taste sound memory tears cried fucking suckings laundry day. however that chord got or gets strummed, that album now forever remains in the collection. and so it is gifted to you for your get.
today’s offering is Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy - Cornell 1964. there is so much life and heartbreak and vibrancy and comedy in this recording at times i hyperventilate. and mingus’ arrangements always drive me to grab pencil and staff paper and take notes. whenever i listen to this rekawd i go back to thursday nights. on a whim i decided to cruise by the world stage tonight and there was a small sign in the window that said

New Year’s Eve set brought to you by DJ Crakhed.
Before
Before the primaries. Before Bhutto comes back to haunt some evil muhfuggas. Before Polynesia sinks back into the ocean. Before you make a move on that cutie across the room. Before Bush says nukular one more time. Before another Spears is born. Before folks start shooting their guns in the air. Before you pass out.

Back 2 School
I fell in love with Corrine Bailey Rae last year with about half the planet. This cut is a smooth interpretation of one of her cuts. Stop Me….YES a cover of The Smiths 80’s relic redone quite nicely by DJ Mark Ronson and Daniel Merriwether who take the song to Motown. Staying in the Big M, we hear a new take on Marvin’s Grapevine. I’ve always appreciated Roy Ayers ever since “Everybody Loves The Sunshine”, Holiday is a new cut from Roy. What Hope Have I is a House classic redone by Sabrina Johnson. The Brand New Heavies cover Stevie Wonder ol’ skool style on I Don’t Know Why I Love You. House diva Kym Mazelle offers Stand Up and if you listen closely, you’ll hear a sample of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes “Bad Luck”. Next is Ibiza Music United doing a cover of the Robin S classic Show Me Love. Then we have a new twist on the Crystal Waters staple Gypsy Woman. Then I decided to dig out ol’ girl Donna Summer and dust her off and make her Work Hard For The Money once again.
Ever see The Color Purple? Then you will remember Shug’s travel from the juke joint to the church on Maybe God Is Trying To Tell You Something. We end with an update of the Three Degree’s classic The Runner featuring Sheila Ferguson who is the original lead singer of the Three Degrees. Hope you enjoy until the next time you hear form me.
