    Graham,

    WOW….that was great – and fun. Thank you.

    I have been reading Higher Ground…what do you think of this about playing jazz and life:

    2 “revelations”…”the importance of expressing your unique feelings and the willingness to work things out with others”…..”The freer they were, the freer I could be and vice versa. To be heard demanded that we also listened to one another. Closely. And to sound good we had to trust one another.”

    For me Wynton Marsalis is a great teacher. And, again, I got a big kick out of that clip.

    I haven’t visited your threads for awhile and I’m going to wander around…you always offer up some good stuff.

    Enjoy yourself,
    Susan

  4. That’s a great quote, Susan! I met Wynton a couple of times and he was totally accessible. He really practices what he preaches. Thanks for dropping by again!
