The importance of keeping Jazz Our National Treasure Jazz alive and well and living in this country is more that just a notion. It has been exalted word wide but not in this country where it originated. It is up to us to keep it alive back in our own community where it all started. We must bring our music back to our own neighborhoods again where it all started and teach it to our children to keep our culture and our National Treasure Jazz Alive. It is our duty to ourselves, to our culture and most importantly to our youth to keep our culture Alive and Well!!!

You know contrary to popular belief, Be-Bop was born and raised in Harlem at Mary Lou Williams house where she had Jam Sessions at her Cribe as well as she would feed all those of Cats that came by her house. Cats like Dizzy and Bird, Tiny Grimes, Art Blakey were fixtures at her Cribe. She would also teach Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, and Elmo Hope touch at the piano. I once heard an old recording of Monk where he sounded to me to be influenced by Teddy Wilson.

I was lucky enough to had the opportunity to work with Teddy Wilson. But at any rate when you listen to Monk after hanging-out with Mary Lou you can hear how he found his own voice and individual sound in this music. Mary Lou"s apartment was located on Hamilton Terrace at 141st Street and ironicly Bud Powell lived one half a block away from her at 141st street on St. Nicholas Avenue. Needless to say he was at Mary Lou's Pad every day. To me, they were the three of the most influential pianist of the Be-Bop Era. Thank You Mary Lou Williams Holy Mother of Be-Bop. As Usual I Rest My Case.

Ciao,

We have to bring Be-Bop back to Harlem where it all started. As we have spoken before Marylou Williams house was the spawning gound for what became known as Be-Bop. Be-Bop was born and raised in Harlem contrary to Popular believe that all Jazz as we know it started in New Orleans. First of all it was all over the country. Okalahoma, Kansas City, Memphis, St Louis, East St. Louis, Chicago, Detriot, Cleveland, Pittsbutgh, Philladelphia, etc So, Jazz and its varying sounds and styles is and Art Form that is truly American.

It is based as we all know or should all know from the Black Experience in this country and well based in the Blues which is the only true Original American Musical Art Form. So, it is up to us America to keep this Art Form Alive and Well and Living in this country once again on Radio, Television and Movies like it was in the past. We have no future without a past. We all must rememberthrough the devoted efforts of Congressman Johm Conyers of Michigan who got ledgestration through Congress HR 57 claming Jazz as our National Treasure.

Let Be-Bop ring from the Mountains through the Valleys, Let Be-Bop ring, From the Cities through the suburbes Let Be-Bop ring. Always remeber it is all up to you the American Public to LET BE-BOP Ring!!!!! Keep Hope Alive !!!

George Duke thank you for your musical contributions and may the Creator grant you Peace

I am still looking for venues in Harlem to bring Be-Bop back home where it originated. Especially when Minton's Playhouse was the sprawning ground for Be-Bop with Thelonious Monk"s Band being the house band at Minton's. Minton's is about to reopen again. I am expecting a lot to happen there, but with a wait and see feeling. But of course it is going to be hard to live up to the standard of excellence it once stood for. Simply the because a lot of the cats that set the standard of excellence it one stood for are no longer on the planet. The older cats who can keep the tradition alive and well have all for the most part have been pushed to the wayside. Only then we can change that scenerio by giving the cats that know this tradition the opportunity to be heard once again. Try it. I am sure they will like it. As usual, I rest my case. Peace, Love and Blessings

These are a few of the cat's that started it all especially in their day. They set the precedents that the standard that became known as Be-Bop
