Three Kings of Blues

The Three Kings of Blues (Blues guitar more specifically): Freddie King, B.B. King, and Albert King. There's only one left. Blues more generally is a dying art. Another American original art that's disappearing. There aren't many great musicians around playing raw blues anymore. Taj Mahal and a handful of others are still going, but there isn't much of a next generation after that. The same seems to be happening with Jazz, although there are a number of programs (not enough) that still teach this art. America seems to be losing its culture. The problem is made worse by the fact that school systems are cutting back on programs for the arts.

Ain't No Such Thing As Superman
Gil-Scott Heron & Brian Jackson

Lyrics:

You have understood
The riddles of the ages

Yes and you have understood
The universal mind

You have placed your footprints on
The everlasting sands of time

Yes so tell me why
Can't you understand that there ain't no such thing as a superman?
There ain't no such thing as a superman

You was on the Nile
You went to see great Egypt fall
It fell down to the ground

Yes, and you was out there on the corner
When being cool went blind
Oh, you alone understand that if we gonna win
We've got to get together, stay together, be together, stick together

So tell me why, can't you understand
That there ain't no such thing as a superman
There ain't no such thing as a superman

You alone consider mercy after it seems like all you get is pain
It seems to me that you have found the courage that others could not find
You alone have the wisdom to take this world and make it what it needs to be, wants to be, will be, someday you'll see

The day, the day you understand
That there ain't no such thing as a superman
There ain't no such thing as a superman

Interview with Hiromi Uehara

Hiromi performs 'Choux a la Creme' on NPR



Extraordinary pianist. She reminds me of Keiko Matsui, who is one of my favorite pianists.. although Matsui plays in a more melodic style.  Hear quick interview from NPR's All Things Considered.
