Rich as the Night is Afro Blue..

Listening to some jazz music today and heard the Poncho Sanchez version of Afro Blue...

Here's the original by Mongo Santamaria (1959):



Here's John Coltrane's version (1963):



And, of course, there is a more recent version by Robert Glasper featuring Erykah Badu (2012):

Wale featuring Nikki Minaj and Juicy J: "Clappers"

I heard this song on the radio today, so I am sure that it will soon be played out. Plus it is just hilariously ignorant sounding enough that the radio will be sure to have it on heavy rotation. Still, I like it because it reminds me of 80's rap - LL Cool J and Experience Unlimited. Shout out to New Orleans bounce music and DC go-go music. Check out Wale's new song, "Clappers":
