Today, Jamaica’s ‘urbanized’ music genres – (Ska, Reggae, Dancehall) –  have emerged as the music from the Caribbean musical experience most internationally popular. Carlos Malcolm has o­ften been referred to as a musical chameleon because of his ability to adapt and function on many levels of music. In over five decades, Malcolm, a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, has been professionally involved on almost every level of Jamaican music. Government-owned Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation of the 1960s contracted Malcolm as a composer/arranger/producer and educator. In this book, Malcolm chronicles the journey and development of Jamaican ‘urbanized’ music, from its inception during the Post (WWII) War years to the present worldwide popularity of Jamaican Reggae and Dancehall music. “From New Orleans Jazz/Blues to Jamaican Reggae” is an easy revealing read, especially for students and aficionados of the history of Jamaica’s ‘urbanized’ music.

 “No one is better suited to write a personal history of postwar Jamaican music than Carlos Malcolm. New Orleans Jazz/Blues to Jamaican Reggae is an authentic work of scholarship by a renowned musicologist and one who through his own creative genius has created musical charts and given eyewitness accounts of his active participation in some of the watershed moments in the genesis and evolution of Jamaican ‘urbanized’ music and set the vogue for Afro-Jamaican Rhythms.” Hon. P.J. Patterson, ON, OCC, PC, QC, former Prime Minister of Jamaica.

For many, the question of what happens when we die is a mysterious one — a TODAY survey found that 55 percent of people are absolutely certain there is an afterlife, 37 percent are not certain, and 8 percent are certain there isn't an afterlife.

But for some who have been through near-death experiences, the question has a clear answer.

"I believe that I died, yes — that I crossed over into the afterlife and back," said Moorjani, adding that the afterlife is "like being in a really unlimited space and time."

My name is Michael Martin. I am 50 years old and I am the the proud Father of a 24 year old daughter. Soon to be 25 in 2 days. Like many other African American men, life has thrown its many adversities as well as blessings my way. My mother was my greatest strength growing up. I watched her wake up early, go to work, get off work and come home just to finish work with her children. Not to mention her husband, my step father, who was a piece of work? I was the youngest of four children and grew up in a spiritual household. Holidays were never celebrated, I sat down during the pledge at school and after being around my 2 sisters, I could not fathom fathering children. As I got older, the the fruits of my bad behaviors began to shine through. Stolen bikes, small fights, skipping school and the like. My mother refused to let me fail. And I did not and entered the Marine Corps. 1986, I got out of the USMC and graduated from Business Institute in 1988. That year changed my life dramatically!!!!!! My spiritual foundation was covered by this interest of money and love. I needed 1 to get the other in my mind. The dealer became the customer. Same old story. And I found love after I was broke. 1992 upon starting a drug free life I met a young female who loved the words I spoke and my vision. We decided to have a child and prepare for the long haul. My daughter was the best thing that could happen to me. Long story short, shortly after her birth, I was incarcerated in 1993 and came home 1999. She was 6. Letters, phone calls, is how this child learned about her father.  Her love never wavered. She only asked that I stay out of jail so I can teach her how to Golf? Big thing to a child. Through repeated trips from Pittsburgh to South Carolina, I watched her grow and take on some of both our attributes. She has now graduated from Columbia SC and is active member in her Sorority of AKA. She works for a prominent Bank in International Business and loves it.
