Have fun for a good cause
Jun. 15th, 2004 02:01 amConcerts for Kerry
Went to this tonight. It was stone brilliant. Savion Glover and Joshua Redman and Dee Dee Bridgewater and the effing phenomenal saxer Michael Brecker and a bunch of solid bassists and drummers and keyboard stylists all cooking together, a massive jam on "Stormy Monday." Beautiful, intricate stuff, everyone working the wavelengths and finding their stride: what the Bible calls a joyful noise. And how they know when to merge and when to diverge is a mystery to me. But then, musicians are all touched by a divine madness.
( Jazz )
Anyway: go hear some music and invest in the Kerry campaign. Because if the Nameless Horror gets back into the White House this fall, we will all be listening to this for the rest of our lives.
