MUSIC, THE VOICE OF HEALING LOVE
LOVE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING and NOTHING CAN REPLACE IT. LOVE IS TO BE GIVEN AWAY AND COMPASSION IS THAT RAINBOW OF COLORS THAT STARTS WITHIN A PERSON'S HEART. MUSIC IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. I SPEAK TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD AND WHEN I POST MUSIC ON FACEBOOK OR ANYWHERE ELSE, IT BECOMES VOLUMES OF WORDS THROUGH A FEW SIMPLE SIMPLE BARS OF SOUND VIBRATIONS REFELECTING WHAT'S INSIDE. IT FORMS NEW,JOYFUL EMOTIONS AND EXPRESSIONS OF PEACE. LET'S SEND MUSIC EVERYWHERE. NO EXCEPTIONS. MUSIC IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE PEACEMAKER OF SOCIETY. IT CUTS THROUGH TO TRUTH JUST LIKE "BREAKING BREAD" TOGETHER AS A FAMILY AT A DINNER TABLE.
If people would simply listen more to each other and feel each others joys and pains, more peace would exist in the world. Music can touch any heart because sound vibrations exist everywhere in The Universe. It's easy to say, "THROW YOUR EGO AND SELFISH WAYS INTO THE TRASH CAN BUT WORDS ARE ONLY A PART OF THE WHOLE. TRUTH LIES WITHIN ACTIONS. When we do for others before ourselves, then we are performing LOVE! Music can heal all hurts and wounds. Music can speak in all the world's languages at the same moment. Music is MOMENT TO MOMENT and The Spiritual Side of music is UNREHEARSED. Your life is the rehearsal within Universal Truth. Performing your life through music can heal others. You can be healed by listening to others through music. If you perform together with other musicians, then you are reaching extremely high levels of emotional communication because you are putting the other players before yourself. If you place yourself ahead of others, your music will show the selfishness through it. The highest level of playing music is through "GIVING TO OTHERS" and not looking for applause. People can relate to their own life through your music as long as you are listening to others while you're playing.
Every concious heart beat, breath and moment in your day is LIFE. Tomorrow hasn't arrived yet and yesterday is simply A HISTORY LESSON.
Make something positive happen in your life today by doing something great for another human being before doing for yourself. THE REWARDS ARE IMMEASURABLE.
LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE

DR. MARVIN SMITH IS EXPLOSIONS OF LOVE AND PASSION FOR MUSIC
Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith brings a special feeling to the bandstand of gentle,deep love of the ART FORM of Jazz. I am captured by the gentle flow of the groove and INTENSE SENSITIVE EXPLOSIONS OF LOVE and PASSION that Marvin lays down. Master Marvin's musical statements reach way down into the foundation of early BOP and I was taken back to my younger years when I roamed the streets of Midtown NY and UPTOWN Harlem as a kid. I listened to this music and it brought back beautiful childhood memories and dreams that become reality.
Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith, THE BABA and THE MASTER has shown his talents as a teacher through all his videos.Each student has an opportunity of being captured in a LIVE setting like the old days of early JAZZ in NYC. Nobody else in the world is teaching the way Baba Master Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith is because NOBODY IN THE WORLD IS MARVIN and NOBODY'S SWINGING and TEARING IT UP LIKE MARVIN. FEW IN THE WORLD CAN COMMUNICATE THIS INNER FEELING THAT HE HAS AND HELP THE STUDENT TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN UNIQUE,INDIVIDUAL SOUND FROM THEIR OWN,INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY THE WAY HE DOES. Marvin simply wants the students to learn how to have fun and give others joy through their musical gifts. Some students learn faster than others but TIME is truly THE MASTER and experience is what counts. Students learn how to work hard and not take short cuts BULLSHITTING themselves. It took Marvin 60 years on earth to learn about playing because he always is playing his life's experience and tells students to play their own life experience. We're always learning and always adding expression or vocabulary to our drumming with musical words. Yeah, HATS OFF TO BABA MASTER MARVIN BU GA LU SMITH as all the students sound better than ever. I know how much work and how much sacrifice Marvin has done to reach the point where jazzdrumlessons.com Marvin's school and all the other projects he has created have become global and available to the public now while this LEGEND is still with us. His record label BUMAR will be making available over 1200 music video examples of his teaching approach that exposes students directly to THE MASTERS on the bandstand each week. Teaching by DIRECT EXAMPLE and EXPOSURE IS THE TCKET TO MASTERFUL PLAYING. NO BULLSHITTIN! "GO TO THE VIDEO TAPE" as Werner Wolfe always said.The Master Sessions are available every week with the great Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith, and all the MASTERS of JAZZ MUSIC
