notes

Why "Between Lenox and Seventh?" It's the phrase that I use to tell the cab driver how to get to Cone's place. That is where the past, the present, and the future come together as the spirits of the past and living legends on the posters and pictures come alive and swing with us. It's a place for us to shed and then express ourselves through musical improvisation. It's where we get together and talk about life, love, religion vs. spirituality, and... the music!!! Not just Jazz, but all music and the business of music. What sells vs. what's in your soul and will you sell your soul to excel or why soulful singers are watering down their sound while other singers are getting big budgets to try and sound soulful.

Between Lenox and Seventh is an escape from all of that. Cone and I got together and decided to have a good time. The end result was a CD about life, love, religion vs. spirituality, and the music. We covered all the bases of love and life. God, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, friends, lovers, new found love, and lost love are all there. Listen closely and you'll hear the life lessons of two friends who have grown into brothers over the last 21 years. Listen closely and you'll hear the maturation and evolution of two 18 year old kids who formed a bond a long time ago on the campus of Florida A&M University (while marching in the Marching 100) from just talking about life, love, religion vs. spirituality, and...the music.

  • Tears of joy
    author: Ben R. Johnson

    Brotha's & sista's be fairly warned that this cd will make you realize that the recording industry has been spoon feeding us crap while the real artist such as London Arrington has been tucked away. Say hello to a new day and welcome this truly gifted artist into his rightful place above the half true so called (manufactured)artist filling the airwaves. Take a listen to this cd and be reminded what true music use to be about. More than that, be thankful that London Arrington remembered what true music was about while putting these songs together for our listening pleasure.

    This CD presents a fresh, new, vibrant voice. The ballads have soothing melodies that inspire love and sensuality. The entire CD is good for the soul. It is an honest expression of a variety of life issues wonderfully scripted to music. The keyboarding and vocals are superb!
