Get tickets directly on my profile or via artdontsleep.com photo via @bluenoterecords» “60 years ago today, at approximately 10am EST, freelance photographer Art Kane took a picture of 57 Jazz legends collected on the stoop & directly in front of 17 E. 126th St. for Esquire’s January 1959 issue. This image has since been considered one of the greatest & most iconic photographs ever. There have been several versions/different iterations of this image staged/organized & taken over the past 60 years but none of them are f**king with the original. All but 2 of the Jazz musicians and vocalists who participated in this photo shoot have since passed on. Kane even made the smart decision to include the neighborhood children who were on the block at the time making it truly a great day in Harlem. 60 years just flew by...” via @dart_adams #artkane #jazz #harlem» Hip hop turns 45 today. Thanks @kooldjherc! #hiphop45 #koolherc #hiphopblvd #southbronx via @justicevvs 🙌🏽G! 👑 » @artdontsleep Artist Highlight: “Ras G aka @afrikanspaceprogram guides a deep space exploration of music’s ancient history and rich future. Working thru obsolete tools to reach back in time and pluck out the essence of groove, Ras G's music is rich with space-funktified rhythms, fog horns, natty chattin', subterranean bass lines, colossal percussion and glorious highs. Ras G has been a fixture on the underground hip-hop scene in Los Angeles since the early '90s. He is a proud South Central LA resident. Ras along with Black Monk and Ron Stivers are the founders of the Poo-Bah Label. This is the music that people will be playing in the ghettos of Mars in the year 3014.” -@dublab/ @poobahrecords —————— Ras G joins @swarvy @bandelabandela and the great @allencodrum in #LA. Join us as they unravel and unveil this very special new project at #JazzIsDead on Wed, August 15th at @lodgeroom! Feat an All Jazz Set by @dan_the_a.

So many of us feel like we dress or act a certain way in the world in order to protect ourselves from violence & judgement.
