The performance went so well, we decided to work together on more collaborations. The result of poet\/writer Kalamu ya Salaam hooking up with bassist\/producer Scot Brown is the album\u00a0Catfish & Yellow Grits\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>featuring my niece Aminisha Ferdinand who brings a special flavor to the proceedings, including an extended recitation that significantly ups the sensitivity of the entire project.<\/span><\/p>\n After we laid down the basic voice and music tracks, it all got even mo’ better. The arrangements were slamming, and then a couple of the tracks rose to even higher heights with re-mixes. You can hear it all here on Youtube.<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0Plus, the tracks are streaming on Spotify<\/a> and iHeartradio<\/a>. And, if you have Apple Music, you can stream and purchase<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Dig it or not, clearly this is some 21st century “ish”. Scot is a beast as a producer, not to mention his booming bass lines. He is also responsible for making Catfish & Yellow Grits<\/strong><\/em> available on four different platforms. My man know what he be doing when it comes to using the internet to distribute audio.<\/span><\/p>\n
