  [Music]

Our father of funk, James Brown, passed away this Christmas day.

I've always enjoyed his music, but it wasn't until July of this year that I felt it ignite a musical moment. During the set break of Cootie Brown's first evening in front of a crowd, his music played through the speakers to keep the people groovin - and that it did.

Towards the end of the break, a song of his titled "Super Bad" hit the speakers. We picked up our instruments and became a part of the tune. What followed was one of the most spontaneous and moving jams I've been a part of.

May he rest in peace, and may his music continue to inspire musicians both young and old.
