  • Bio

    Daud El Bakara was born in Philadelphia PA. As a native Philadelphian, he was exposed at an early age to the rich musical history of the city and specifically to their uniquely rich jazz tradition. His parents exposed him to the arts at an early age taking him to, museums, to the theatre, arts festivals and especially musical events. Daud developed an interest in music from an early age and began playing the trumpet at 11 years of age, receiving private instruction as well as playing in the school bands. He performed in bands which played a large number of musical genres from marching bands to Classical. He also joined the Philadelphia Clef Club which is a performance arts center and music school. With the clef club, Daud was not only able to interact with some of the cities finest young musicians and be mentored and study with many local and national Jazz Masters, but also fine tune his skills as a trumpet player and focus his concentration on Jazz ensemble playing. He also began an intense research and study of the history of the trumpet, of Jazz as an art form and of all the great jazz legends, absorbing the works of Clifford Brown, Woody Shaw, and Philadelphia natives John Coltrane and Lee Morgan. Daud experienced a rapid development in his musical prowess with him being noted by music teachers, native musicians and others as a child prodigy with enormous musical talent and great potential as an instrumentalist as well as a composer. During those years, Philadelphia underwent a great revitalization of the Cities artistic outlets, building several arts centers as well as promoting the development of several of its established music venues. This afforded Daud a wide variety of performance outlets and much more exposure to the public at large. After graduating High School he attended the Temple University music program and studied under trumpet legend Terrell Stafford. He continued to perform at many venues locally throughout the city. After several offers to interrupt his studies to perform full time, he finally accepted a position as trumpet player for the music group Kindred, touring nationally and internationally.

    NOBODY'S PERFECT Daud!
     
     
    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT PERFECTION ...

    "I don't like these COLD, PRECISE, PERFECT PEOPLE

    who, in order not to SPEAK WRONG, NEVER SPEAK

    AT ALL, and in order not to DO WRONG, NEVER DO

    ANYTHING."

    ~ Henry Ward Beecher

    IMPERFECTIONS ARE PART OF BEING HUMAN.

    EVEN PERFECT PEOPLE USE PENCILS WITH ERASERS!

    Have a GREAT WEEKEND Daud!
     
    We can change the world with Kindness and Love!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ON THE POWER OF KINDNESS ...

    "You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of

    this WORLD'S HAPPINESS.

    How?

    By giving A FEW WORDS OF SINCERE APPRECIATION to

    someone who is LONELY or DISCOURAGED.

    Perhaps you will forget tomorrow what KIND WORDS you say

    today, but the recipient may cherish them OVER A LIFETIME."

    ~ Dale Carnegie

    Have a LAUGH TODAY Daud!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM GEORGE CARLIN ...

    “There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past."

    "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

    "When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say?"

    "When someone is impatient and says, "I haven't got all day," I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?"

    "I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered, what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?"

    "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"

    "If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little."

    "Weather forecast for tonight: Dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning."

    "I put a dollar in a change machine. Nothing changed."

    ~ George Carlin

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HAPPINESS ...

    "We tend to forget that HAPPINESS doesn't come as a
    result of GETTING SOMETHING we don't have, but rather
    of recognizing and appreciating WHAT WE DO HAVE."

    MINDS TO BE!

    Share the WARMTH and LOVE OF CHRISTMAS Daud!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SANTA CLAUS ...

    KRIS KRINGLE, the ONLY MAN OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AND CERTIFIED as "THE ONE AND ONLY SANTA CLAUS" by Order of the New York State Supreme Court, the Honorable Judge Henry X. Harper presiding, says as follows:

    "Be a LITTLE NICER and a LITTLE MORE KIND to everyone you meet and come in contact with this Christmas season. 

    Christmas is a GIVING TIME, a CHARITABLE TIME, a time when men of goodwill can REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED, and give them LOVE, WARMTH, and UNDERSTANDING."

    CHRISTMAS WAVES A MAGIC WAND OVER THIS WORLD,  AND BEHOLD, EVERYTHING IS SOFTER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL!

    Have a GOOD LAUGH today Daud!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT GREAT QUESTIONS ...

    1. I went to a bookstore and asked the sales woman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

    2. If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?

    3. Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?

    4. If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?

    5. What was the best thing before sliced bread?

    6. If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?

    7. If you ate pasta and antipasta, would you still be hungry?

    ~ George Carlin

    Daud

    THE KIND OF HUMOR I LIKE IS THE THING THAT MAKES ME

    LAUGH FOR 5 SECONDS AND THINK FOR 10 MINUTES.

    THE MOST WASTED OF ALL DAYS IS ONE WITHOUT

    LAUGHTER!
