Brian Blade Fellowship, “Improvisation,” rec. 2008:
"You must take up the world's whole weight and make it easier to bear" - words I needed to hear today. I will toss it on my back like a knapsack...may we all realize that if we do this, it makes everything easier for all. Thank you!
The word play in Jean Bleakney's charges onward, great fun. I didn't know Django Reinhardt, but I used to listen to Stephane Grappelli. We will all be doing a lot of improvising soon!
