Yes....another day.....another day....So here we are at Jazz at Lincoln Center...Dizzy's Room...Universes is here.....to do that hoodoo voodoo that we do so well. Let me set the scene,(music starts to play, lets say some Coltrane) the time is 3pm and the room is packed yall. They had to turn people away at the door, yall (no lie)
Ok.. the event was free but it still felt real good. I just remember the early days of just hoping the poetry scene would take us serious, so here we are at Jazz at Lincoln Center....the road is long...the road is long...but I'm just glad we got a road to walk on. So we're hanging backstage, with our new homeys Alexis and Monauk from Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the time is drawing near. These two people have been our contact into the world of the Rhythm Road, and their energy and enthusiasm for the work just makes this fun. Now we can get a little crazy...a little silly and real serious all within a minute, and they are able to handle all of it. And I kind of feel sorry for Alexis because she is going on the road with for three of the countries. So our mission is to have her beatboxing before this is over. Damn, nothing like a little pressure. Oh yeah, the show....so if any of you know the little things about our inner sanctum we don't really like sitting around backstage too long because you can get a little restless, and bored, cause you just want to get out there and tear the room down, leave your essence all over the walls,.... sorry i got a little carried away.....I guess its just that open mic juice in us, so we had to "hang around for a couple of hours but between chewing raw ginger and looking for Wynton through the halls, we didn't break nothing.
