One of my favorite jazz album because the atmosphere is irresistible, magical and i discovered it because i admired Tom Harrell to begin with...But the whole is more than the sum of his parts here...
1H45 of pure joy...
I learned to love Jazz, many decades ago, being not a musician like frogman, the day i realized that Jazz is about chemistry between musicians too and not only a new language but a new type of sacred communion ...
it remind me of the way i was transported in ecstasy very young by the atmosphere of choral music...
I begun to understand why Miles Davis , Chet Baker, Sun Ra etc appeared to me as priests not only musicians as in classical written music...
it was a revelation about music i was no more young, but in my thirty....Till then i was mostly only in classical...
Chorus sacred music for me is a geometry of voices like interpenetrating points/volumes in a heavenly space. Jazz was a denuded heart vibrating and communicating with my own heart...
After i came to Indian and Persian music ... It is another story...
