He along with Mr. Cherry, Shahid and Waits, express the full expanse of their singular visions within the even greater expanse of collaborative chemistry. It is no small feat. It goes beyond the seemingly simple task of playing music together. You have to see what you see, say what you say and stand where you stand. Faithfully. Mr. Bluiett is an optimist. It's obvious. These are some mightily optimistic sounds. Optimism is a great responsibility. To embrace a moment, a day, the music of your time requires that you Stand Up! There are also some mighty forces in this music; Don Pullen, the love and strength of black women, Thelonious and Mr. Montgomery Africa and the Islands. Songs Everlasting. Face the music and dance. We are lucky recipients of the optimism and courage of these creative men, hell bent on telling the truth and living to laugh about it. May you listen and become more of yourself. Keep your eyes, ears, heart, mind and options Wide Open. Respectfully, James Browne |
