Here is my addition to Marinas moly, I have chosen the track 'No words' , like Wil I have not listened to much Jazz, and hated this cd on first listening....then I put it on in the car, drove around listening to it and now I think it is wonderful ! Thank you so much for the introduction !
I hope the entry I have made doesn't come over as too dark, but it is how the track affected me :-)
Lynne, I'm so happy that finally you liked the music! I love your interpretation, your imagery, everything integrated perfectly! Thank you SO much!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marina :-)) I am so happy that you like it
ReplyDeleteMarty I will post thsi to you when our postal strike is over, which may be soon or they may keep it up for weeks... I will let you know
Take your time. I have plenty to do for a while.
ReplyDeleteI know that I am going to enjoy working in this book, following your lovely lyrical artwork. I am looking forward to savor Avishai's music, also.
Hooray...the postal strike is over, I can put this in the post first thing on monday.... phew :-)
ReplyDeleteI do have your moleskine Lynne, I am past a gallery deadline now, so I am about to get cracking on it.
ReplyDeleteOh ! Thats great...no rush, just so glad when these books arrive at their destination :-))
ReplyDeleteI have this book now. Not sure what to do yet. Avishai reminds me of Chic Corea, "Return to Forever", from the late 70's. If it sounds like I know something about Jazz, I don't. I just know that album. Avishai is more eclectic, and acoustic, an Israeli trait I think. I don't ever listen for bass, so this is a fun excercise. Upon first listen, I like "No Words" a lot, too.
ReplyDeleteI was at a concert by Yasmine Levy recently. Mirina must know her. I couldn't take my eyes and ears off her bass player. He is cool looking under the lights with those heavy shadows and those big bass playing hands. Like a Ben Shaun painting. I know what I will do in this book. I should "lay down the bass" while I'm feeling it.
I am so pleased it arrived safely....looking forward to watching its progress.....there is a lot to get out of the music I think :-)
ReplyDeleteHey, Marty, looks like you do know something about jazz! Avishai was used to play together with Chic Corea and got a lot influence from him. And I love Yasmine Levy! Can't wait to see what "laying down the bass" will do to you ;-)
