I'm tryna populate the Amaarae Feed. If ya'll wanna help just spam the timeline with Amaarae pictures or something.

Amaarae and Mina back in 2019.

Larry Young - Mother Ship. A terrific session from an innovative giant of jazz organ playing. Trip Merchant is an incredible track.

LP cover. A well lit photograph of a Black man (Byrd) reading a French newspaper, Le Figaro, possibly the 4th of November, 1958, as the lead article is about the coronation of Pope John XXIII, which happened on that day. He is leaning against a stone or concrete wall, while wearing a brown snap brim hat, a black jacket with wear on the lapels (possibly leather?), a blue and white pinstriped shirt open at the collar, and a yellow vee neck sweater. He has a well trimmed beard and mustache. Some style!

If you ever see a Sam release, grab it, they are special.

I miss Amaarae. 😭😭😭😭

#NowSpinning: Ramblin' by The Jack Wilson Quartet feat. Roy Ayers

This one is a rare archival record that was only released once up until 2023. I highly recommend it for Jazz collectors. #Ramblin #TheJackWilsonQuartet #RoyAyers #JackWilson #Jazz #VinylSky #MusicSky #BlackMusicSky #JazzSky

Time traveling has always been a theme in Janelle Monáe's storytelling. If you read the stories in the liner notes of the Metropolis series ya'll would know that. You'd also know Janelle was geno-raped and de-existed in the year 2719. 😆 Janelle is just that a storyteller.

You didn't listen to that album cause it did not sound like all that. 🙄🙄 Anyway, ya'll don't know him so I don't know why ya'll are dwelling on one interview. He said in another interview that he had many experiences with polygamy, but he felt different about his new girl.

Al Green - Let's Stay Together

Tonight's #vinyl selection: #AlGreen #LetsStayTogether
Happy 80th birthday to the man!

It is nice, but maybe in some thrift shop you might find a cheap vintage copy.

That's cool too. Before I collected vinyl, I had only CDs too. Now I buy both.

I was actually thinking about throwing this one on as well. 😆 My vintage copy I got for $20. 😆

#NowSpinning: Donuts (20th Anniversary Audiophile Edition) Remastered by Bernie Grundnam by JDilla

I found this recording of Sarafina! This was recorded when they were performing it in Soweto in 1988. They went on to do a residency at Lincoln Center in 1989 and were nominated for a Tony. A piece of Broadway history. #BroadwaySky #VinylSky #AfroSky #Sarafina #LincolnCenter
