Soul Sisters, Soul Brothers, citizen of the world!
Nothing but real talk on this mix... it's an "All Messenger" set.
Mystical introduction with "Afrikus Retrospectus" as Lou Wilson saxophonist,singer and percusionist of the band Mandrill who just passed last week performs this instrumental jewel. Mighty Reyeders delivers his message on "Star Children". "Check It all out" of Black Heat gives us the temperature. Jazz break, Maceo and All The King's Men with "I Remember Mr.Banks". Don't let the Blues get by you as Fillmore Slim & son's "HeyLittle Brother" reach your head. It's "Right On For The Darkness" when the brother Curtis speaks about the situation...Yes! it's an "inner City Blues" that also describes Gil Scott-Heron in its very unique way on this cover of Marvin Gaye. Right after comes Marlena Shaw as a voice of the ghetto got questions with the classic "Woman of The Ghetto". Cymand asking for attention with "Listen". Donald Byrd and Gil Scott-Heron finish the show! Peace!
