I am looking for a black owned club or whatever that will feature all-black jazz combos. Parker and Coltrane only played with brothers. The white producers of jazz clubs and festivals and schools in north america (montreal) will never know what jazz is also. Even though I am mulatto, I can't play with white musicians. Jazz is a DISTINCT thing. White people are making so much money with jazz as producers, musicians and any other part of the crew. I will not let them succeed at claiming jazz. If you are black and you are too scared to keep what we own, then you can still thank me for succeeding in distributing it from us. I believe I can fight by myself for jazz for the black people. God bless Charlie Biddle, my Godfather.

Thanks.
Ye know, we have been tricked. no wonder nobody sounds like Bird or Trane, the schools only have transcriptions of the original Jazz soloists, but not the original combo pianists or guitarists. Parkers pianists were playing OUTSTANDING chords behind Bird. I looked around extensively for them and THEY ARE NOWHERE IN SIGHT. As a matter of fact, Bird wouldn't have sounded the same without them. I do believe that this is an inherent reason why not many brothers and sisters aren't playin' Jazz; because of those white and jewish CORNY chords in most rythmn sections. Any ways, I'm keepin' on goin' on!
