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!

Got my mojo working !
Got my mojo working!

I want to love you so bad but it just won't work on you
I'm going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm gonna have all you women right here at my command

Of all the woman I have it won't work on you
Got my mojo working but it just wont work on you

And as usual the Gringos
Against me nailing a European Beauty¨
Cause for them its all about the money!

I've got a Gipsy woman, giving me advice
I've got a Gipsy woman, giving me advice
I have some red hot tips that I have to keep on ice

Got my mojo Fountain!
Got my mojo Fountain!

Vive le Jazz!!!
