🔥THE MILES DAVIS and HERBIE HANCOCK QUINTETS • Eighty-One • 1965-1994🔥


The original version of this tune on the 1965 Miles Davis album E.S.P. is with the same personnel (minus Wallace Roney) ~ I have always loved that one ~ and when I first heard the other one when it came out in '94, I really flipped and still enjoy how exquisitely they had developed and reinterpreted it over so many years of playing at such an elite level of musicianship... very special right here... blessings to all...

🌱New Generation of Black-Led Co-ops Want to End Food Insecurity🍽


Nigel Roberts | THE ROOT

“A lot of the neighborhoods in West Oakland had 20 to 30 liquor stores and an assortment of fast-food restaurants but no full-size grocery stores,” Jeneba Kilgore, a worker-owner at Mandela Grocery Cooperative recalled about her hometown 10 years ago. “You could barely find the stuff to make a salad within walking distance.”

Briana Sidney, another Mandela worker-owner, said back then there was a 99 cents store that sold groceries. It was the only option for many folks in the Northern California community who didn’t have a car. However, the discount store, which is now closed, was never a place to purchase quality food.

“So, yeah, it has been a really crucial food desert,” Sidney added. “It went from people not having access to quality food to people not having access to grocery stores at all.”
