JOYFUL
Your music
swallows me
inside myself,
A flood of feelings
washes over
and I ache…
feeling small,
helpless,
Because you give me
so much,
And I have nothing
I can give you
in return
except my tears
so I cry
I
cry
joyful,
… Judy Rosenberg

hi nijimasu, I just discovered your place, Simon666 kept an eye (no, ear!) open for me and winked me about a new Summertime version by the Randy Rayment Quintet, here on endless planets [;-) I collect as many as possible Summertimes, a bit crazy I know.... But this Charles Moffett Family album is just CRAZY good, wow!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, even played it for my girlfriend, she like it too (not being a jazzhead at all!).
I still hear reminiscing sounds from Ornette's thingys in this music, though far more bluesy/gospel/soul - spiritual indeed...Listened to this 4 times past week, it's a gem, again thank you.
Peace,
E-mile

ReplyDeleteNice drop. Thanks for the upgrade. Superb record ;)
ReplyDeletehi nijimasu, I checked my archive and I haven't got Lee Gagnon...2 birds with one stone, excellent [:-)
ReplyDeleteWould be appreciated if you could drop me a link, indeed!
I also just discovered Endless Planets. Great music!
ReplyDeleteBig thank you for this! I've been wanting to hear this for a while, after listening to Moffetts' "The Gift." Really excited to hear this. Thanks again!
