Byrd was known for not only for his indelible work in jazz (in a career in which he played alongside the likes of John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Eric Dolphy, Thelonious Monk, and Herbie Hancock), but also in R & B, soul, and funk. And of course hip-hop fans know his work from the countless times it has been sampled. Large Professor, Organized Konfusion, Black Moon, The Pharcyde, Nas, Public Enemy, Madlib, and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien are among the many that sampled him…In recent decades Byrd was known as an educator lecturing at numerous institutions on music.</p> </blockquote> <p>of course <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_tBymadvVI">there is this amazing 1993 moment</a> with Gang Starr’s Guru.</p> <p>according to reports, Byrd died on February 4. he was 80. <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2013/02/jamoeblog/donald-byrd-1932-2013.html">more</a>.</p></blockquote>http://creativecontrol.tumblr.com/post/42528832752http://creativecontrol.tumblr.com/post/42528832752Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:56:58 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/20b0b3be0dd13bdf26bb4cc98a6a05ae/tumblr_mheixr5ycP1qzvkxdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>Simplicity</b><br/> 24x24 Oil on canvas</p>http://creativecontrol.tumblr.com/post/41799404981http://creativecontrol.tumblr.com/post/41799404981Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:17:00 -0500barnesoilpaintersdallasart<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/965ea2c3a340d0e24e07c57f37511295/tumblr_mg41ff0GCr1qbnugoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://unicef.tumblr.com/post/39663681164/can-you-see-me-foreground-howa-age-10-was">unicef</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>CAN YOU SEE ME?</strong></p> <p>(Foreground) Howa (age 10) was paralyzed by a growth on her spine – an outcome that could have been prevented through surgery had her condition been diagnosed in time.
