Billy Taylor Trio - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

Deeply spiritual, indeed, even when it ventures outside its slow Gospel beginnings (reminiscent of the almighty Dollar Brand). Listening to this, one could sense being engulfed and absorbed by this rhythmic repetitive pulse of freedom.


Taylor has said he wrote this song for his daughter. 

nina simone-montreux 1976 - how it feels to be free

Powerful performer, she was.


Written by Billy Taylor & Richard Carroll Lamb (Dick Dallas).
The song served as an anthem for the civil-rights movement in America in the 1960s. 
I will post the original, released in 1963, after this one.

Mendelssohn - Song without words Op 19 No 1 in E major

Today's Classical Corner... Mendelssohn's Song Without Words No. 1 (from Book 1)!

One of my all-time favorite Classical pieces. While many play it fast - even some very famous pianists - it still sounds good because it's a beautiful composition, but i like it slowed-down, like in this version (or even slower).

Ian Brown - Fear (UNKLE Remix)

Excellent remix... indeed, one need not fear the unkle.

Ian Brown - F.E.A.R.

The great original followed by a great remix.

Ruth Etting - Close your eyes (1933)

Today's Nostalgic Corner... the vocal version of this famous beautiful song, although i'm not sure if it's the 'original', because of Al Bowlly's version recorded the same year (1933).

You'll get chills listening to this, while reading Etting's life brief: a film-noire of sorts.

Parkour 1930

Remain humble. 

Extreme Sports is not so new, kids, so enjoy yourselves and please remember to keep grounded. It's not all about being original, and different, and you may by all means dream big, just don't be hurtful to others, or get hurt in the process - and please do NOT carry younger kids on your back. it's quite stupid and dangerous. 
now, have fun.

Beautiful smooth choon,..
