The music of the African Diasporic evolution will not be terrorised.
The music evolution will not be brought to you by "Band on the box"
The evolution will not give you tunes from a Fake Real book that's really a Real fake book full of incorrect chords, "Mell oh Dear", suspect "Ah My knees",and enough cheesy "Churn arounds" to stink out Jam sessions that are no more than Ego sessions full of Jam and no session musicians!
Sessions where general waffling and playing at a beat with never ending chorus after chorus of Meandering cut and paste cliched Solos lifted from inane Harmonic tags that never resolve their Argumentative fifths or diminished responsibilities haunt the very stages that should be occupied by real musicians but are so loved by lazy Corporate institutionalised conservatory dicks.
No The music evolution will not be terrorised.
The music evolution will not be brought to you by the Big J**z awards, the Small J**z awards, The Governments J**z awards or the "NO-BRO" Awards because that’s all too confusing, patronizing and fake, for true awards resonate within your soul and its origins are based in fact and DNA all the way, from the musical strands of Mother Africa's diaspora!
Neither will the music Evolution feature some lame bands distorting Standards, either by some "Kind of Grey" Miles Davis tribute band, a fifties black Exotica act, or a modern day Minstrel Show.
The music evolution will not even be better with a skin teeth smile or a history denial.
The music evolution will never benefit from drop out failures hiding from other music forms that they did not get together, No it's not good "enough for J***" and will never will be good enough for life,so get your s**t correct!

The evolution will not by sponsored by Confused.com or a Cd Rom, or a pretty girl dancing with a Pom Pom.Put away your Smoke and mirrors, we know where your coming from!
The music evolution WILL put you on the spot.
It will not give you a hiding place for a sob story, from a vocalist without a soul.
The music evolution will not have bands with the usual names like quartet,quintet,sextet, Horny Riff & the Reeds or Trumpet & the Mouthpieces, no need even for a Sax Appeal because we are not, all in this together!
The music evolution will not stop snobs from wanting to dictate to musicians what they want to hear but it will mean that musicians can now let those disses and wishes fall on deaf ears.
Because this music evolution will not be terrorised, Brother.
The real music evolution will not exclude or place a glass ceiling on real talent or ambitions because of the colour of your skin or the non content of your wallet.You will no longer hear or feel that The Token spot has been taken because enmasse our talent will out! There aignt no stopping us now!
There will be no need for photos of you smiling with famous players in numerous faux J**z magazines,Fad magazines or Sad Magazines,nobody patting you on the back, No A & R men banging on your door or hanging around aimlessly outside recording studios, in clubs, pubs or bars, pushing contracts in your hands like lottery tickets only if there are clauses to trick you & your family and your families family, and their families family, for ever and ever, yes that’s right, forever and ever ever.
There'll be no more Slaving you a copy from the the Masters tapes that they own or need for you to slip a copy of your album under the door of a festival promoter.
Because it's time you made your own festival.
NO, for The music evolution will not be terrorised.
There will be no radio shows playing dry objectionable Elevator music while using the J**z word to fool the public into buying sad arse music from artists that should never see the light of day!
There will be no hiding place for Journalists who only recommend or write for a free meal ticket form an old boys club or network that just keeps the status quo. no need to describe any Artists as a young Turk, a young gun, or a 40 year old man using the term up and coming, because by that age they should of up and went somewhere!
There will be no musician described as sounding like Miles,Coltrane,Hancock,Brecker, Jarrett or making a living out of repeating other peoples solos, music, sound or personality and claiming it as there own!
There will be no need for musicians with fake American accents pretending to be some hip cat or other for they should be run out of town, this isn’t 1940s Harlem, grow up! There will be no musicians jumping up and down on stage while grinning like Uncle Toms or rolling their eyes in mock Mammy type homage.
F**k you backward looking Bamboozled clown its been way too long that you have held the real Brothers down!!
F**k you backward looking Bamboozled clown its been way too long that you have held the real Brothers down!!
Because now is the time for true musicians to step forward and reclaim the stage. To run their own clubs to teach the real theory, history of music, to speak of all the history but not to put all music into a 2,5.1 situation to make their usual turnarounds. To bring some harmony where there is none, To show true melodic invention. To know when to shut up and when to be heard!
Because now the time is up for those who held the keys to the doors of opportunity and public responsibility to give it up, for their selfish solos have been heard for way too long,So long that they can't even remember the story of the song.
Audiences will not care that the music isn’t wrapped in a neat package, Audiences will care because the music is real,the music is breathing,so your music will have to speak to them because it needs to resonate within their soul.
Audiences will not care that the music isn’t wrapped in a neat package, Audiences will care because the music is real,the music is breathing,so your music will have to speak to them because it needs to resonate within their soul.
Until then, we will all be in life’s streets looking for a brighter day.
The music evolution will not be televised.
Because the evolution will not be terrorised,
WILL not be terrorised, WILL NOT BE TERRORISED.
The music evolution will not be on Playback;
The music evolution will be fresh,live,vibrant,relevant and current.
