about

The title of this track is in French and simply translates to the meaning "The Black Current Jazz". The track is a lyrical reminder of the beauty of the first Blackcurrent Jazz album where I make reference to tracks from it and also the success the album had when originally released in 2001. Lastly this track serves as my mark of respect to some of the greatest jazz musicians over the years including Milt Jackson, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock.

lyrics

Chorus / Black, current, jazz [x4] / Verse One / I’m bringing that gold era back / with a style a little more advanced than the first
Blackcurrent Jazz album / when I gave you “2 Long” and “Hit Me” / “Keeping it Classic”, “Tangible”, “Turntables Hate Me” / “Simply 2
Complicated”, that was nice / and “don’t “Roll the Dice” if you can’t pay the price / “The Music”, “What You Saying Girl?” and “Confused? / “Prediction”, “It Still Rocks”, too many to choose / the album came to you in fine detail / so when you want another one, ask for “D-D-L” / I was such a young kid but I could so it so well / and the album so dope, it would simply outsell all the others from before like “Classic”, “Heartfelt” / “One Another”, “When Love is Breaking Down” did well / but Blackcurrent Jazz was something so new / so I had to come back and bring you part two / Chorus / Verse Two / It’s many years later but I’m still in the mix / and I’m still down with Parris and I’m still down with Stixx / still down with Duke and I roll with my Cuz / and I’m still down with jazz cos with jazz it’s a love / I love Bill Evans, so dope / and I’m certain that I love Milt Jackson and I love Gary Burton / and I love Cal Tjader and Herbie Hancock / Earl Hines, Sonny Rollins and Thelonious Monk / Bob James, Freddie Hubbard and Charlie Byrd too / Ron Carter, Charlie Mingus and the MJQ /Dave Brubeck plus John Coltrane / Miles Davis, Lionel Hampton, there’s too many names / I’m just trying to keep the legacy alive / it never dies cos we’re here to revive / some people drop pop records whereas; I’m here it make it last with the Blackcurrent Jazz / Chorus /
