The genius of jazz - Oscar Brown Jr. from his platinum album of the 60's. The whole dam album is pristine 'choice'!! This is 'Hum Drum Blues" (should be my theme song, lol) Not one of his best, but I couldn't find the ones I wanted to post, esp. 'Signifying Monkey' - not written by him, but the best version of the song I've ever heard.

This guy wrote the music and lyrics to all his fabulous songs. He was a political force at a time when it was 'uncool' for a black man to be a 'muck-raker' & activist. A very great man in his time - for his music and his humanitarism. Oscar, may you RIP.
