Everybody Wear They Mask (Jazz at Home) - The JLCO with Wynton Marsalis

August 7, 2020
Jazz at Lincoln Center - New York, NY
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis repurposes “Everybody Wear They Mask“-a song off their latest album, “The Ever Fonky Lowdown“-for a COVID-19 PSA. Featuring the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and guest vocals from Camille Thurman, Ashley Pezzotti, Christie Dashiell, the track is horn-fueled call to action as urgent as it is entertaining. Wear your mask out there, and be safe!

While the music is worthwhile, the virtue signalling of the lyrics is the antithesis of Freedom guaranteed under the Constitution. Perhaps King George had it ALL wrong. All he had to do, was to write an entertaining diddy, sung by smiling females, and he could have imposed ANY kind of oppressive mandate that would have kept the Colonists "in line." BTW... I forgot. It WAS Thomas Paine who said, "Give me Liberty or give me MASKS!!".... and the Founding Father's chose the mask... with glee.

Hope you know that this song is repurposed from Wynton’s 2018 suite The Ever Fonky Lowdown. In the game set up by Mr. Game, everyone wears a mask, why does it have to be like that? The lyrics were slightly adapted it appears, and if you want you can laugh at the double satire of the situation, but don’t get it twisted, bro. This ain’t no trick to get you to stop thinking for yourself. Although it appears you don’t need anyone to trick you, you’re there already.
