A tribute to Muddy Waters and the greatness of Jazz |
“To the person who uses music as a medium for the expression of ideas, feelings, images, or what have you; anything which facilitates this expression is properly his instrument.” Bill Evans “I’m believe that all people are in possession of what might be called a ‘universal musical mind.’” Bill Evans Saint–Simon first applied the term ‘avant–garde’ to culture, referring to revolutionary ‘artist-engineers’. In this he drew an analogy with the term’s military use, for a scouting party that goes out ahead of the main force and initiates a skirmish. In his broader political vision, government was to be by an elite at once intellectual, industrial, and managerial, embodied by a Chamber of Inventions composed of engineers, poets, and writers, painters, architects, and musicians. Saint–Simon’s utopia thus centered on a dialogue between artists, scientists and engineers, with artists having a leading role in the imaginative exploration of reality.” Georgina Born “At a time when individualism is becoming an endangered species, jazz represents a celebration of the individual.” Ellis Marsalis Got my mojo working, But it just won't work on you Cause the fruitcakes are against I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do!
