Lamar Jackson Speaks On Dez Bryant’s First Ravens Practices

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are expected to do some pretty big things this season. Of course, they were the best team in the regular season last year and so far in 2020, they have put up an exceptional record of 5-1, which puts them in a great position for the playoffs. Jackson and the Ravens are a huge threat offensively and just last week, they looked to get even stronger as they signed wide receiver Dez Bryant to their practice roster.

While Bryant won’t be placed in the lineup right away, it’s clear that the Ravens brought in Dez because they needed a bonafide star at the wide receiver position. The former Cowboys superstar hasn’t played in two years due to injury but it’s clear he’s motivated to make a huge impact. As for Jackson, he recently told reporters that having Dez on the team is a massive step forward.

“Oh man, it’s tremendous,” Jackson said when asked about Bryant’s presence. “We just have to see what he’s capable of. I see him on ‘IG’ [Instagram] a lot doing his thing. He’s grinding [and] getting after it. [Executive vice president] Mr. Ozzie [Newsome] and [General Manager] Eric [DeCosta], those guys did a great job upstairs bringing him in. We just have to see if he’s ready, see what he’s capable of and go from there.”

Bryant worked out with the Ravens prior to the start of the season although a deal was never reached, at the time. With the AFC North looking as strong as ever this season, the Ravens needed more weapons, and now they have one. If Bryant continues to impress, we will surely see him on the field in short order.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
