Don’t know why we want Norah Jones? I’ll tell you. We want her for a host of reasons. We want Norah Jones for bragging rights.
Who sings sweeter than the sweetest? Can you keep up with Jones’ sound? The musician can sing in multiple genres. Jazz and Country are her specialties.
Nothing beats her delicate touch. You’ll fall in love with Norah’s pitch. Also, she approaches music with gratitude and respect. It is a privilege to watch this songstress in action.
Listening to Norah Jones defuses stressful days. Moreover, she adds pleasure to many enjoyable moments. Amazing is the best adjective to describe this woman’s work. Shout out to Kate Bush and Maxwell.
Did you know Billboard named Norah Jones Jazz Musician of the decade? This means she bested Kenny G. Could it be that Jones’ voice is a saxophone? 
Imagine listening to Chasing Pirates when sailing on a ship. Get lost in the lyrics of Come Away With Me. Throughout her career she’s made the most out of her talent. She never neglected her gifts. Plus, she paid her dues.
Maybe, Miranda Lambert and Jones can get together.
If Miles Davis was the common denominator, then Norah is the common numerator. Simply put, she’s got our number. The celebrity compares favorably to yoga instructors when it comes to flexibility. Others could learn from this special music artist.
Her concerts frequently sell out because the Texas Longhorn is a rare breed. She mixes ingredients better than Samantha stirs stew on Bewitched. Yet, Norah Jones seems pure.
She insists on opening doors rather than closing them. The celebrity can change on command. We value adaptability in entertainers. Who else can cut a song with Carrie Underwood and Herbie Hancock?
In a nutshell, she gives us everything. That’s why we want Norah Jones.

Bow Down to the Queen of Psychedelic Soul: Janis Joplin

BY: GURU JAY

Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Michael Jackson made their marks on the world over. Music was a religion to Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley. And Miles Davis was the common denominator.
Music is a universal language. We wake up and fall asleep to the sound of music. Living on a farm, we may hear crock-a-doodle do first thing in the morning. At night the crickets chirp in synchronization making our sleeping more enjoyable. In the city the cars speed, the helicopters cop, and the train choo choos.
Now drones are the newest music brought to us by Barack Obama. Music can be organized and/or chaotic sounds. Jazz, Rap, and Rock & Roll demonstrate the different potential ranges and dynamic mechanics of music. While pop appeals to our subconscious and lower passions, the Blues showcase a ‘piece of my heart.’

Blues legend Janis Joplin helped change society. The singer stepped on the stage on purpose and carrying a message in her hand. She was well equipped with only a guitar.
The Queen of Psychedelic Soul was a figurehead of 1960s music. What would Woodstock be without Janis Joplin? In a sense, Joplin was a musical revolutionary.
Janis Joplin possessed the perfect tone. She never overcompensated. She always delivered.

American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox covered Me and Bobby McGee on the show. Who doesn’t sing Janis Joplin’s songs? Tons of musicians strive to become like Janis Joplin because she is a masterpiece.

I love painting portraits and Janis was a fine painter. I connect with Janis Joplin spiritually and emotionally. Although I wasn’t alive for Woodstock, my spirit was there. Janis Joplin isn’t alive right now in the physical but her spirit is here with us.

Beyonce famously sung Bow Down bitches. And bitches bowed down because she is Queen Bey of the Beyhive. You must bow down to Janis Joplin too because she is the Queen of Psychedelic Soul, bitch.

Why Miles Davis Was the Common Denominator

BY: GURU JAY

If you’re stressed out, listen to jazz and relax. Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Miles Davis settle the soul. Pain starts in the brain, and beautiful music is a proven painkiller.
It is important to put your mind at ease. Do you take time to reflect? Whether it is meditation, yoga, or prayer find Nirvana.
The world is changing rapidly. People are facing unthinkable situations. What should you do?
You can use music to escape this invisible prison. Miles Davis was the warden of Jazz. This post pays tribute to the legendary composer.
Miles Davis
If I could write the way Miles Davis composed music, I’d have no problems that my words couldn’t solve. The gifted and talented music artist excelled because celebrities esteemed him. It’s one thing for your fans to adore you. It’s all together different when your peers approve you.

When Miles blew his trumpet, everyone stopped to admire his virtuosity. Gratefully, he stayed active and visible until passing away at age 65. Although his body is gone, his spirit keeps on giving.
What are your favorite Jazz musicians and songs? Have you heard In a Sentimental Mood? Can you imagine life back then without music?
How difficult was it for Miles Davis to survive Jim Crow and the Civil Rights eras? As a black man, Davis couldn’t even book a room in some of the hotels where he performed. Don’t you think Jazz music can save the downtrodden?
What is more, Miles Davis represented change. Before America decided against segregation, Jazz integrated all races, beliefs, and creeds. His impact on pop culture is evident in Hip-Hop.
Did you know Miles Davis mastered many instruments besides the trumpet? The legendary bandleader blessed us on the piano, organ, flugelhorn, and synthesizer. You see he was made to make music.

I believe music is the common denominator of society. Good music is colorblind. Why not appreciate Miles Davis and Jazz together?
