  • Dead on. Create the bridge. Synergize toward the highest positive level.

  • The Ever Hip Jimmy Heath!

  • @jazzguitar1221 All right, cool.

  • @foreal1992 dude i cant believe i wrote that i feel embaressed it was like 2-3 years ago I sound like an ignorant jazz snob saying that, the thing is I am a huge hip-hop fan but when I went to school I fell into this stage of sort of telling myself i shouldnt be listening to certain kinds of music b/c its not as complicated my opinions have def change and as duke ellington said their are only 2 kinds of music GOOD AND BAD

  • @jazzguitar1221 Lots of hip hop has sampled jazz

  • this reminds me of the conversations my grandpa has with my friends.... real cats

  • Jazz & REAL Hip Hop rules!

    Big props to the HEATH BROTHERS! Haters step back, you don't know me like that, ha!

  • The Heath Brothers, like Miles, Dizzy, Quincey & Max, know the connection between Jazz & Hip Hop that closed minds don't see.

    They're doing what Charlie Parker, Lester Young & Lionel Hampton passed to them, tradition. Some of today's pop rap is weak but much is the genius that came before but suckaz don't know.

    I'd love to hear Nas, Olu Dara (Jazz great & Nas' father who's done Hip Hop records), Pete Rock, The Heath Brothers do something produced by Quincy Jones and/or James Mtume.

  • so true man !....lol

  • there ain't none ..

    that's why they are laughin' their asses off...so funny ..
