...Freedom Now Suite


Abbey Lincoln's vocal on Driva Man reminded me of something even more intense.

Donal Fox...



...Gone City


The spoken word (with piano accompanyment by Donal Fox - http://www.leonellismusic.com/)
on River Town Packin House Blues was performed and written by Quincy Troupe.


A taste...

Standing at the center of death, buzzards hovering
Swingin' his hammer called death, 260 work days

Quincy Troupe was the first official poet laureate of the state of California and also co-wrote...



...Miles: The Autobiography
