Monnette Sudler , Good Night....

MONNETTE SUDLER
 born June 5, 1952 died August 21 2022
More important and wiser jazz lovers will say what she meant to the world better than I can.

I met her through my connections in visual arts and poetry.

Her spirit and music brought me joy.

I miss her already.

That's it. That's the post.

This Year Raymond Tyler and Friends Close Out 48 Blocks words By Raymond Tyler

120 Minutes
The 48 Blocks Closing Party Event
Sunday August 28th
3pm to 5:30pm
O'Donnell Park
Albany Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ
Free Family Event  


It seems like it was just June and we were at The Bourre in Atlantic City for The 48 Blocks Atlantic City Launch Party!
I was there to DJ the opening party for 48 Blocks Atlantic City.
Since that time The Atlantic City Arts Foundation has helped artists come to Atlantic City to share poetry, murals, music, sustainable art, dance and so much more!

Every Summer The AC Arts Foundation celebrates the arts in as many of the city's 48 Blocks as possible.




On Sunday I have the honor of curating the closing party.


Hosting will be the one of only Lyn Harris.
Miss Harris is a part of The Atlantic City Theatre company where she is a part of their improv/sketch comedy group.




Bring your drums and chair. Or The Boardwalk Seahawks Drum Corp will lend you a bucket. The award winning drummers will do a drum circle.



April Chocolate Girl Williams will lend her sweet vocals as we celebrate with live music vocals.




Paradise Christy brings her talent for spoken word to 48 Blocks for the first time.


And I will be spinning classic hip hop, R&B, House, pop and more!

Be prepared to celebrate and create!
