A portrait of Bob Power in a studio leaning against a mixing board.
Salute to a man who was probably the single most important studio engineer of my most formative years and beyond. He shaped sound, sharpened samples and varnished vocals. Tribe, De La, The Roots, Badu, DβAngelo and too many more. A true wizard.
RIP Bob Power. ποΈ

I feel like the way to battle AI is to keep creating without it as much as you can. Theyβre baking it into everything but keeping the human element in the creation phase is critical.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they donβt wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.
Man...this guy played on SO many dates, lived and breathed jazz, was NEVER satisfied to be one of the all-time greats but always kept looking for the next step up & out & into the music...we will not see the likes of Jack DeJohnette again soon. Deep gratitude for a lifetime of dedication to the art
This is the D'Angelo performance that I've never forgotten. This song was already a huge hit but the way he took it from contemporary R&B to church revival illustrated how connected those idioms are. A revelation for those who didn't know, and an affirmation for those who did.
I'm genuinely hurt π
