How about we don't. Listen to any music you want. We don't need a month dedicated to a race. Its essentially cult like. Where is Indian History Month ? Where is Chinese History Month ?
If you've ever seen your favorite music superstar live on tour, more than likely Adam Blackstone was their musical director. Very very talented and versatile brother! Kudos to NPR Tiny Desk for bringing him on to let him shine! 💯
“Round MidNight” was a thing of Beauty! Vocally. Instrumentation . “Tech Me”was always a great song that sounds complete now. The whole show gets applause , applause !! Music done by HUMANS just feels different!! 🎉
So honored to have played with Adam Blackstone in our high school jazz band in Willingboro, NJ. Great memories, and so proud of all his accomplishments! Shout out to our phenomenal jazz band director, Mr. Lesser as he helped all of us hone our music playing skills. Blessings to you always, Adam! Keep up the great work!
Shoutout to Adam for giving Blakley a platform like this to showcase his talent been following him for a while since the music competition he’s on and he’s a great gift especially at such a young age, he’s gonna go extremely far‼️
Love it. Thank you for bringing this to people that can't always get out to go to concerts because of work or disability issues. This is so appreciated.
Thank you NPR for letting these brilliant musicians shine bright like a diamond. And... can we please get a Grammy nomination for this Tiny Desk performance of 'Round Midnight? It's stellar, truly!!
This feels like... I'm not a morning person, but I have a music theory class and opera workshop performance to prepare and ... I just made it to Rollings - Stewart Hall, and the air is filled with the Jazz Comp and Theory students preparing for their performance, so all is right in the world.... I love my HBCU!!! TSU! TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY 🐅
One of the reasons I love Tiny Desk so much is... every month is Black Music Month! But extra is always welcome, especially when it's such a summer peach! My gosh, Blakely on Round Midnight? Thank God I have ears to hear!
OMG! They seemed like they were having too much fun at this performance!! There should be so much more likes than this!! I was smiling the entire time!! Now Musiq needs to come back and do one!! 🙏❤️🎶🎶
Musiq Soulchild is an all-time GOAT of modern soul R&B music. His lyrics speak depths of experience and authenticity. I used to really feel his music back in high school, and now (20+ years later) I feel and HEAR his music even deeper.
Adam Blackstone is excellent!!! Keeping it vibey, funky and sophisticated - lots of energy. I knew he was well respected and an in demand MD to the stars but didn’t know he had recorded his own music. Thank you for sharing this performance… 🙏🏽
I remember the first time I realized that I recognized Adam because I'd seen him playing bass or some other instrument on so many televised performances (GRAMMY performances, Super Bowl performances, network television shows that had a live band, etc). He STAYS working. Glad to see his hard work continue to pay off - great performance!
YOU BEDDA celebrate the greatness of melanin NPR TDC!!!!!!!!!! This was AMAZING! Adam's music reminds me of the music we'd hear on Spike Lee movie soundtracks! I'm so here for fellow artists being featured!
Beautiful soulful melodies Jazz groove.💞 The Upright YES. SINGGGG Blakely. Play Band flow. 🎹🎸🎷🎺🥁 I appreciate great music👏🏽💓 Complementary Jazzy Jeff👏🏽👍🏽
Wow! I mean... this entire set was just gorgeous. Congrats to Adam Blackstone (made me happy to see he'd be one of the TDs this month) and a well done to NPR for honoring Black Music Month with such incredible artists.
Absolutely, positively, one of the best technically produced Tiny Desks! These are phenomenal musical talents and I’m here for it! Kudos Adam! Sorry I’m late to the party. but I’m a fan now! 🔥❌💯
Welp🥹😇👌🏾….. I’m in musical heaven listening to this paradise! Adam Blackstone brought the kingdom with Musiq, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Blakely, and Ebony Joi. 🫶🏾🖤🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How bout we just extend Black Music Month indefinitely
How about we don't. Listen to any music you want. We don't need a month dedicated to a race. Its essentially cult like. Where is Indian History Month ? Where is Chinese History Month ?
I SECOND THISSSSSS 💚💚💚
I’m wit it! Let’s get it!!!!!❤
LOL
Facts ❤❤❤ Nothing like our soul that comes from within
Yo. Getting Adam Blackstone on is CRAZY!!!
Good seeing you here!
Absolutely crazy and much needed
Hey Kev!!! ❤
Absolutely!🥰
Can we say Blakely vocals are everything 😅 ❤
YES WE CAN. Hi from Amsterdam ❤.
And he brought out Musiq Soulchild! This Timy desk was everything! 🔥🔥🔥 Also we need a Musiq Soulchild Tiny desk in the near future.❤
They are really giving it to us for Black Music Month! I’m loving it! ❤🫶🏾
And I am here for it!!! Every 4 days or so. Im soooo happy with this BMM celebration.
I dunno, I kinda like every other day being white people playing black music month.
We appreciate NPR Tiny Desk while we celebrate Black Music Month.
There should be a black music year
@leeentertainmentchannel247 Why ? This is basically propaganda.
Darling, it is all propaganda; Just enjoy the music.
They are killing it this month! But never really disappointed🙌🏽🙆🏽♀️✨
@@bgknowable?- aca
Whoever created tiny desk needs an accolade. ❤
I literally screamed when Musiq came out! And don’t get me started on Blakey 🤯. Adam Blackstone is a genius!! Perfect episode
If you've ever seen your favorite music superstar live on tour, more than likely Adam Blackstone was their musical director. Very very talented and versatile brother! Kudos to NPR Tiny Desk for bringing him on to let him shine! 💯
Exactly! And add to that all of the many different awards shows he is the musical conductor for! The brother is so amazing musically!
I feel so crazy for only discoverying him now
Just saw Jill Scott (Philly 🤎) and he works closely with her. Im telling u, that late 90’s-00’s Neo Soul Philly sound is unmatched.
“Round MidNight” was a thing of Beauty! Vocally. Instrumentation . “Tech Me”was always a great song that sounds complete now. The whole show gets applause , applause !!
Music done by HUMANS just feels different!! 🎉
I feel like “Eric Roberson” would be a great artist for a tiny desk performance.
I 2nd that!👊🏿
Yes he would ❤
❤❤❤. Now we need a Musiq Tiny desk concert!
So honored to have played with Adam Blackstone in our high school jazz band in Willingboro, NJ.
Great memories, and so proud of all his accomplishments! Shout out to our phenomenal jazz band director, Mr. Lesser as he helped all of us hone our music playing skills. Blessings to you always, Adam! Keep up the great work!
Yes!! I was in the Jazz Choir in Willingboro High! So honored to have known him and watch him succeed!! Boro Pride!! ❤💙
Shoutout to Adam for giving Blakley a platform like this to showcase his talent been following him for a while since the music competition he’s on and he’s a great gift especially at such a young age, he’s gonna go extremely far‼️
Philly stand up. When you become a musician in Philly, you become the absolute real deal. My brother Blackstone
Philly in the house!
NPR, thank you. These artists are bringing these guests who are amazing. Loving ❤️ Black Music Month.
You better sing Jaden
The concept of collaboration is so special in black music. NPR highlighting the stars to the stars is a special gem!
Love it. Thank you for bringing this to people that can't always get out to go to concerts because of work or disability issues. This is so appreciated.
Come on horns!!! 💃🏽
I caught his set at The Roots Picnic 2 weeks ago and was blown away. An incredible talent
I was there too and I was like these ppl don’t know good music!!!!
Me too
First time being put onto Adam Blackstone. FIre! and you got the Goat Musiq Soulchild @14:30
Thank you NPR for letting these brilliant musicians shine bright like a diamond. And... can we please get a Grammy nomination for this Tiny Desk performance of 'Round Midnight? It's stellar, truly!!
Artistry. Period.
That was really dope.. I can second this 👍🏽
It was Already nominated this past February, but should have won!! Beautifully composed and award worthy!
Musiq betta sang!!!! This band was incredible. Every played with their whole heart and I loved every minute of it 💐💐💐
Jazz music is a rare art form. As a jazz drummers daughter, I’m proud 🫶🏾
Please please have musiq soulchild do a tiny desk concert
Tiny desk is 80% responsible for my current playlists....thank you
This feels like... I'm not a morning person, but I have a music theory class and opera workshop performance to prepare and ... I just made it to Rollings - Stewart Hall, and the air is filled with the Jazz Comp and Theory students preparing for their performance, so all is right in the world.... I love my HBCU!!! TSU! TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY 🐅
Mr. Blackstone is one of the BEST!!!!
Tiny Desk has been knocking it out of the park lately. These last few have all been bangers.
Adam Blackstone just seems like his personality is a sunny day or a warm hug
One of the reasons I love Tiny Desk so much is... every month is Black Music Month! But extra is always welcome, especially when it's such a summer peach! My gosh, Blakely on Round Midnight? Thank God I have ears to hear!
It is so refreshing to hear real music, real musicians do what they love.
Great set Adam! Man I love us as a people. We so talented and versatile! The transitions were sick on this Tiny Desk!
Oooh..... can we PLEASE get 🙏🏽a TEVIN CAMPBELL tiny desk!!!!! 💯🎵🎶🎼😍 Pleedy please with sugar🍭🍬 on top! Please and thank you!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
OMG! They seemed like they were having too much fun at this performance!! There should be so much more likes than this!! I was smiling the entire time!! Now Musiq needs to come back and do one!! 🙏❤️🎶🎶
Yessssss
CONGRATS ADAM!
Beautiful music to start the day with!👌🏾💯🔥
Musiq Soulchild is an all-time GOAT of modern soul R&B music. His lyrics speak depths of experience and authenticity. I used to really feel his music back in high school, and now (20+ years later) I feel and HEAR his music even deeper.
So cool to listen to real musicians playing. Great music
To mashup Musiq Soulchild's "Sunny (Just Friends) with Parliament Funkadelic's "Cosmic Slop" is NUTS!!! THAT WAS THE DOPEST MASHUP EVER!!!
Adam Blackstone is excellent!!! Keeping it vibey, funky and sophisticated - lots of energy. I knew he was well respected and an in demand MD to the stars but didn’t know he had recorded his own music. Thank you for sharing this performance… 🙏🏽
Musiq did his big one here! And Adam Blackstone and BBE are never to be played with! 🎉
Fabulous - new soundtrack for my coastal trips riding up PCH with windows down! Love this - as always, THANK YOU, NPR!
Beautiful imagery. Will definitely try. It reminds me of the recently departed Bill Lee's work.
Round midnight!! What a fresh look! Thank you !!
Another great Tiny Desk! It was great to see Musiq Soulchild again. He is a staple for mid-late 2000's hip hop and soul to me! ❤
great natural jazz Neo ... just the way I like my coffee
I remember the first time I realized that I recognized Adam because I'd seen him playing bass or some other instrument on so many televised performances (GRAMMY performances, Super Bowl performances, network television shows that had a live band, etc). He STAYS working. Glad to see his hard work continue to pay off - great performance!
Ahhh🔥🔥🔥 The vibes on this fine Friday morning 🤌🏾🤌🏾😘

Great set. And nice to see Jaden Gray (Blakely) here on vocals.
My goodness, never heard of him but so glad I discovered him🎶🔥
I knew he looked familiar. Blakely, got it.
Ty! I was like "..
but that looks like Jaden from Terrell Show?" 😅
This was everything I needed today. Thank you Tiny Desk 😊
Just "discovered" a new artist who is rocking my favorite instrument, the upright double bass! 😮😀🎼🎶🎵🎵🎶🍷
This was absolutely amazing! I enjoyed this from start to finish.
At this point NPR is showing up and showing out!!!! I’m here for it!
