Frogman, my musical palette is not locked in the past, "Charenee Wade" is my most recent acquisition; the subject matter of her music is "singing of a more complicated urban existence"; no, this is not "rapping" about an urban existence, this is singing top notch jazz with some of the best "new" jazz musicians I've heard.
This music was inspired by Gil Scott Heron; most people only remember "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", he was a very young naive man when he put that out, now he's much older and see's the real complications of the urban existence. But beyond that, this is beautiful thoughtful music that can be listened to many times.
The urban existence is infinitely more complex than it was when Gil came to prominence in the 60's, but Charenee sings of hope that was inspired by Gil Scott Heron in his most recent life. The music provided that accompanies her is every bit as beautiful as Charenee Wade's voice. I've posted this more than once, why have you failed to acknowledge it Frogman?
