Isolation Music

the voice of jazz is as...
a projection of being...

as instruments sounding...
conversations with masters...

of old classics...
historic compositions...

being resounded once more...
endlessly and different now...

as the blossoming of seasons...
that vary year to year...

so too the jazz people...
share the oldt composers ear andt...

write some of their best music in...
a remote cottage during plague times...

like these when music replaced what...
was tavern companionship in those days...

Panagiota Romios Date: 6/30/2020 12:58:00 PM Jazz freak here....I loved going to clubs. I met Erroll Garner in College. He had a free concerrt in the student union. Many years later I ended up at a small party for Duke Ellington in SF. Music helps me write Poetry. This poem goes into my Favs, dude! Panagiota xx Login to Reply

Paul Callus Date: 6/28/2020 5:21:00 AM Very well expressed, Stan. Music can be such a wonderful companion, especially in times of need. I'm fortunate that I like most fields of music, and enjoy according to moods. ~ Regards // paul Login to Reply Sand Blown Date: 6/28/2020 11:01:00 AM thanks paul….music is a constant, an escape from the life of 'the self' in a tangle of a world; it is a manifestation of the idea that throughout history there does come a day when everything (cofcof… reality!?) makes perfect sense....stan sand
