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

  1. 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!
    Thanks 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

  5. I also just discovered Endless Planets. Great music!

    Big 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!
