Before I begin, I just wanna give a quick shout out to one of my favorite websites on the net, The Brilliance - www.thebrilliance.com. My boy Benjamin over there replied to one of my emails telling me how much he loves Ahmad Jamal . Well, this one's for you, homey!I really don't wanna talk too much about Ahmad Jamal b/c I REALLY want you guys to listen to some of his music. If you want to know how good he is, let me just put in perspective: Jamal was a key influence on Miles Davis' "First Great Quintet", which featured Coltrane on the sax, and Davis asked his own pianist Wynton Kelly to sound more like Jamal on "Freddie Freeloader" from Kind Of Blue. Step your piano games up, people!Ahmad Jamal - I Love MusicNas - The World Is Yours____________________________________ ______Ahmad Jamal - PasturesJay-Z - Feelin It_______________________________________ ___Ahmad Jamal - Ghetto ChildCommon - They Say______________________________________ __Let that "Pastures" play for about 1:20 so you ...

Bobby Byrd was a long time co-vocalist for James Brown, appearing on such songs as Licking Stick - Licking Stick", "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine" and "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved". The two met back in the day when Brown was at a youth detention center. In fact, Byrd's family took Brown in when he was released. You see, loyalty is everything, people! Byrd was a member of James Brown and the Famous Flames, which was actually a reincarnation of the Avons, a group which Byrd himself founded. Unfortunately, Bobby Byrd passed away from cancer in September 2007.Bobby Byrd - I'm Not To BlameJay-Z - U Don't Know
