 "V" For Vernon Jus Keeps Gettin Betta
What a blast of an electric, eclectic, creatively transcendent mind-dance of a musical mass. For those of us who ever love to explore the expansive regions of the infinite,rhythmic,ethereal cosmos, this work is an oasis in the current soulless, sellout, mainstream, corporate-controlled sound-desert. The Gods are smiling and bouncing their heads. Vernon has decoded the entire universe with this offering. A great tribute to the advancement of progressive music, as well as to the Black Rock Coalition, Tony Williams, and all innovators who have combined their visions to replenish our souls with the vibrations of love, life, and harmony. Music is the ultimate healing force, and Vernon's music has always conveyed this. Jimi Hendrix is smiling upon him. Bob Marley is smiling upon him. Miles Davis is smiling upon him. Sun Ra is smiling upon him. Tony Williams is smiling upon him. Ali Farka Toure is smiling upon him. Octavia Butler is smiling upon him. Because, believe me, Vernon is covering all of these areas, ancient, and future. Thru and thru, inside out, from the cover art, to the prize inside, these audio-aphorisms make you healthy and wise. Thank you, Vernon, for continuing to attempt to awaken so many sleeping spirts. Thank you for helping me to release my other true self. Peace and One Harmonic Love to the fullest degree. - Jahhannibal Abba-Ra (eric james) Baltimore, Maryland (USA)
