My work is about the preservation of musical art thru video. Having an opportunity to see this remarkable film on Aretha Franklin’s prime was an essential and mandatory experience for myself. It let me know what my dream, aspirations and work is all worth it. I still have much to do, but I’m on the right path. I aspire to match this wonderful work someday soon. #arethafranklin #amazinggrace #docnyc #documentary #kingofresearch #uplatewithmusic #gospel #soulmusic #sydneypollack #musicalarcheology (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqs8yH5jT_k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j2y0okzfdfuf

In Harlem tonight, getting some knowledge for @apolloedharlem event with The Last Poets, moderated by @mrchuckd_pe. Stuff like this is so important for me. It not only lets me know I’m on the right path, but I need to step up my reading and research. #apollolivewire #lastpoets #publicenemy #harlem #kingofresearch #mediamaker (at Apollo Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp0suHKD5Su/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fs1io6u8ey6e

#aboutlastnight Me with the legendary Mtume! Here are some of the jewels he dropped: “Bebop & Jazz is the highest form of intellect.” “We always think the white man’s ice is cooler than ours.” “We’re always responding to something. I’m into initiating.” “What makes an artist great is finding difference in the familiar.” “Music is a succession of finites; there’s no beginning or end.” #apollolivewire #education #kingofresearch #blackstarpower (at Apollo Theater)
