II. Trio
Creative epistemology
You, you, you
Invited Straight Answer Jazz Trio
Soulful smooth jazz
Rhythm and the blues
It was funky up in there
Breezing through George Benson
Wailing
In the hands of Gary Muhammed
The guitar sings, whines, wails, and moans
Finger picking
Slides and glides
Cool and smooth
Go Gary
You could have been Wes Montgomery’s grandson
Percussionist David Collier
Improvising
Hi-hatting
Bass drum pum-pum
Sticks dancing back and forth on the snares
Michael Gardner
Syncopating, funking, improvizing on the blacks and whites
Embodying the funk, the blues, the rhythms, smiling and jiving
Bringing music to life
Enter Michael Timothy Gardener III on trumpet
Making papa Gardner proud
Invoking Grandpa Louis
Doo-daa sha-ba-la-ba doo-da
Creating epistemologies
Conduction
The movement of sonic possibility as a social relation
DeFrantz’s sonic spaces of shared sensorium
Who knew that Sunflower could be so tasteful
Fry Pies and all
The Water Remembers
