Saturday morning and we just got word that another beautiful creative soul has passed on. Gil Scott Heron was of course a huge inspiration for us and many of the artist we cover here at Beathearts. Or as Chuck D just put it on Twitter:
"RIP GSH..and we do what we do and how we do because of you. And to those that don't know tip your hat with a hand over your heart & recognize."
One of the most most beautiful Gil Scott Heron tributes we've found is put together by the Polish vinyl only blog Soul-jazz.
"Sometimes less means more and that is why the second part Soul-jazz tribute podcast series lasts for not even half an hour and presents less knows and less revolutionary side of mister Scott-Heron. The lack of most popular works like The Bottle or Revolution Will Not Be Televised is compensated by six unique and so different compositions found in the output of this magnificent artist. Your attention should be attracted by this year’s published My Cloud; one of many excellent examples showing cooperation between Gil Scott-Heron and Malcolm Cecil.
