Kamasi Washington’s Harmony of Difference EP
Cherokee (a.k.a. “Indian Love Song”) by Ray Noble, 1938
University of North Texas One O’Clock Lab Band covering Ray Noble’s “Cherokee”
Clifford Brown and Max Roach covering Ray Noble’s “Cherokee”
We continue to get our instrument solos mixed up in “Clair de Lune”, the solo we disliked was Miles Mosley on the acoustic bass. Sorry cello players!
Malcolm X’s Eulogy, as delivered by Ossie Davis at Malcolm X’s funeral February 27, 1965
Malcolm X’s last public speech, the same night his house was bombed and only days before his assassination.
“Battery Kinzie”, Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues
Last song wouldn’t be complete without us once again getting our instrument solos mixed up; The solo we loved from “The Message” was the electric bass solo played by Stephen Bruner.

“Malcolm’s Theme”—when I was younger I got caught up in gangs and I was headed down that path. I had two things that brought me out of that, I had a cousin give me an Art Blakey mixtape and I was in this program and we read Malcolm X’s autobiography. I always wanted to give that same thing back. It had such a profound effect on me that maybe I could help someone else. If I could do something that people would look back on the message he was giving during his life, with the music.
