JAZZ IS LIFE

I read this as a piece of Jazz, itself. Sometimes it (Jazz) can seem disconnected, but if you listen a few more times then, the wisdom shines through. - Phil A.

David Wakeling said:

This is a great tribute to an original form of musical expression.It cleverly integrates many \"Jazz\" references with a \"jazz\" style of improvisation in the blues style.If you don\'t love Jazz you don\'t love life.Well done

Bobby O said:

Glad you like it. The segue for me was Ramsey Lewis, The Crusaders, Stanley Turentine, who all charted on R&B charts. Then disco swept in and then I read the Story of Kind of Blue and I was hooked like a first time heroin high. ( just guessing at that)

QUIXOTE IMPOSSIBLE
sorenbarrett said:

I have read Don Quixote and this poem does him justice. like clouds on the horizon, It builds as it goes and ends in a thunder storm.. Usually I cite parts that I find most compelling but in this case it would be an injustice to not quote the whole poem.

At first seeing the format of the write (paragraph) I was taken back, but then upon reading, I found the rhythm and the flow and within it all found the clear meaning of the write. I\'m blown away by the write.

Parisab said:

“Carry nothing you must hide” a sage statement. I also am impressed by capturing Malcom X’s essence, in his iconic poetry of a life and his “true simple heart.” Enjoyed the read…
