But for me the decicion was one of conscious choice and deliberation that still has the force of revelation. I suppose it is natural for one who approaches life like an anthropologist and poet to be attracted to Jazz. The world is filled with people who have already produced words about everything in the world; books to hold these words; shelves to hold the books; rooms to hold the shelves and buildings to preserve the books through the ages. There is an innate desire to express, to historicize, to commemorate seen in every drawing, great work or monument from the beginning of time. Music is the least plastic of the arts. It is also the one that best presents the passionate urgings of what it means to be alive. It is the most flexible of the arts and capable of expressing every shade of meaning and feeling. There is a great divide between living one's life and expressing one's life: between selling a dream and building one. A divide that everyone, including musicians, must bridge with countless activities. The greater the musician, the more exposed and familiar they are with this territory. There is nothing that is more direct than song. From the inside out it is like a map that says "X" you are here. Jazz is not forgetting. It is remembering who we are. |

Music:Member Since: 12/18/2006Influences: The people:My Great Family, Rick Stone, Irene, Lisa Scott-Kelly, Jennifer Ray, Nicole Hamilton, Bunky Green, AND MICKY, ...one of these days I will speak fluent Italian! Sounds Like: My own writings have been influenced by hours and hours of attentive listening to 19th century literature and music. It has provided the Zeitgeist that informs my work LET’S SAIL BECAUSE THE SUN IS RISING Let’s sail because the sun is rising, brew oyster stew on the seven seas, just because it is appetizing. And stay up as late as you please. Let’s sail because the sun is rising, have wine bottles and a breeze. And let the sirens sing to us of our nautical expertise. Laugh at the blues. Let’s sail because the sun is rising. Let’s lose our shoes. Let’s sail because the sun is rising. Let’s sail because the sun is rising and we will never turn our backs. We have everything the sun lacks. Let’s sail because the sun is rising HOLIDAYS SEEM TO HURRY HERE Holidays seem to hurry here. Tall shadows clear the evergreens There’s eggnog by warming embers And we make it more welcoming Holidays seem to hurry here The oak as it smolders and lulls Dreamers to sleep, soon disappears And light is held in icicles And you must always know Holidays seem to hurry here When you hold me like so Holidays seem to hurry here Holidays seem to hurry here And so we too precious and few Keep returning year after year Holidays seem to hurry here Type of Label: None |
