Remembering Gil Scott-Heron
May 31st, 2011
As most now know, the great Gil Scott-Heron passed away late last week. The revolutionary poet, musician, and author has been a long-time favorite of Giant Step, having played many of our earliest shows under the Groove Academy banner in the early 90's. The image headlining this post is the flyer from our 1992 show. After the jump, you'll find a few more vintage Giant Step concert flyers from shows we've done with Gil; you are welcome to download the flyers and add them to your collection.
Our friends at The Revivalist have put together a beautiful post detailing Gil's journey and his contributions along the way. We encourage you to give it a read - the man's influence and reach is both expansive and inspiring.
We would like to leave you with a lovely one-hour mix by Twit One entitled, A Salute to Gil Scott-Heron.
