I spent many years in the music business and so have had the advantage of lots of exposure/access to his music, but had no knowledge of HOW he began playing and composing. And it's good to "see" him back. Thank you for posting that interview.

His Uncle Roy is still alive and kickin' in Toronto. With GSH on the set Black is Back --without a doubt! Gil Scott-Heron’s music is timeless. His Uncle Roy is still alive and kickin’ in Toronto.

As a relatively young cat that grew up in the midst of hip hop's break in to the mainstream, it's easy for my generation to NOT know about the Last Poets, Gil Scott Heron and the forefathers of hip hop's oral culture. Thanks adding to the bridge between the generations. It seems like the interview ends abruptly. Was there more discussion between you and Gil Scott Heron? If so, where can we find the rest of the transcript? This is a great interview.

But JR neglects to ask (or at least publish more content) about the music! Cut us a line with Blackalicious in the studio for Blazing Arrow. I mean, Heron hasn't released original music in quite some time, I believe most recently there was an Anthology on Soul Brother Records of his amazing work with the brilliant Brian Jackson. Is this tour going to be a showcase for the songs on his long-awaited new record? What's become of Heron's book The Last Holiday? This is a great interview.
