America's Classical Music

It just occured to me that June is Black Music month. The Popes of Blackness decided that February was too short a month to celebrate all the historical and cultural achievements of "a people," who,Susan Taylor says, "refused to die."
So, they designated another month to acknowledge one of the many cultural tributaries of the African American experience: Music
Black Music Month is a recognition and deification of the creation of an art form forged from struggle and suffering. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes - Black People have used the malfeasance of the American racism experience to create a music that has continued to be worthy of admiration and even envy.
So, it is in honor of this month, that I use this writer's bully pulpit to give attention to Black Music's most powerful art form: Jazz
Jazz is known as America's Classical Music. It's appreciated by many as a global export, but shunned by its own country. So, if you really want to celebrate this month - listen to a Jazz CD. Jazz is the apotheosis of cool. Check out: Miles, Bird, 'Trane, Ella and Sarah and you'll understand what I mean.
