My Jazz Story
I was a music Major in high school. 1973-1976. The high school
I went to was Dunbar Vocational High School in Chicago, Illinois,
graduating in 1976 from high
school. Our program had music as a major or a vocation that we
traded learn to fulfill our dreams in Destiny. It was exciting to
learn how to play saxophone in my earlier years and then switch
to singing and speaking.
Looking forward to getting to know other smooth jazz
enthusiasm and have, believe it or not, personally started paying
attention to Pete Belasco the last two weeks from October 15th,
2021, through November 22nd, 2021.
As I listened, I thought I was listening to Sade, but a male
version of her sound then Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye
came to mind, and I thought this sounded like the music of the
seventies when I was in high school, it made so much sense. It is
a different, distinct sound from this generation of T-Pain vocal
renditions.
I am so glad Pete stuck to his convictions, patterns, and sounds
because it's what this world needs right now in this generation
to slow down and sit down and relax.
