listening to music make me listen –
i have been playing with compiling 2 playlist one dedicated to Keith Jarrett that i will continue to add to with a wonderful talk about the Carnegie Hall Concert – the talk is full of amazing insight into keith jarrett the musician’s mind and heart and relationship to music – among the wonders he talks about was for the second time in his life the other time being the Koln concert 30 year before being exactly 30 years ago when he was 30 and now he is 60 he walked out on stage and realized nothing could stop him – listening to his comment you can see why too the carnegie hall solo concert was like the koln concert
one of the playlist now has 200 pieces and songs and instrumentals and some words songs and wordplay too from gilberto gil, caetano veloso, tom waits, miles davis, paco delucia, isla de camaron, keith jarrett, al “jazzbo” collins, yo yo ma, louis armstrong and when i put it on shuttle (symbol above add on right hand side) i get this rush of whats next that i like but more so listening to music does what to me/us/you ?- i ask myself in you – to me its hard to find words but if i had to its like eating a symphony – everything coming to you all at once – music touches you in your mind heart body and soul – what it does is more indescribable then describable – its a vibration that goes through you – i would be interested in hearing what others feel and think about music and what our relationship to music is too

a friend of mine produced Keith Jarrett – The Köln Concert (1975), one of the best-selling jazz albums of all times (wikipedia) and his most famous album The Köln Concert January 24, 1975
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzqMJWlKMsY and she talks about how keith was so outraged at the tuning of the piano that he walked out of the sound check and refused to play – and they were both sitting in the limo and she simply said to keith something to the effect “its ok if you leave and don’t play for me its just money i will give all these people who came to see you their money back but think about them they came to see you because they love you and were looking forward to seeing you and they don’t care about the piano tuning they only care about you and how disappointed they will be if they don’t see and hear you” – well the rest is history – food for thought
enjoy
g-oh
