WINNING SPINSTWO KEYBOARD PLAYERS WHO

range far beyond the conventionalstraight 44 rhythms and 32-bar pop and12-bar blues forms of jazz have newalbums covered in this Winning SpinsBoth have experimented with avant-gardeas well as borrowing from non-jazz styleslike hip-hop classical minimalism Afro-Cuban South Asian Indian and techno

On these CDs both pianists are return-ing to earlier styles formats and eveninfluences Vijay Iyer after writing forlarge ensembles in collaboration with anovelist and with a filmmaker gets back tohis most basic jazz format an acousticpiano trio with bass and drums OmarSosa meanwhile whose work has toyedwith the borders of free jazz looks back tothe world musics that have inspired himespecially from his native Cuba and theHispanic world

Break Stuff Vijay Iyer Trio (ECM)marking the 10th anniversary for pianistIyers trio as well as for their first record-ing for producer Manfred Eichers labeldelivers the trios most clear and resonantsound yet A MacArthur (genius) FundFellow former Yale math professor andcurrent Harvard Arts professor Iyer (anative of upstate New York not India) is atrue jazz intellectual who gives that label agood name While his copious intelligenceclearly informs his pristine touch andsuperb technique they are never an end inthemselves always serving a more basicyet profound musical purpose As if toemphasize this Iyer not only includesnine of his own distinct often complexoriginals he adds three jazz standardsThelonious Monks Work not only show-cases the trios only foray into straight-ahead bop-swing time but Iyers thoroughunderstanding of how to create a personaljazz experience while using Monks pre-cepts Billy Strayhorns Blood Count is aravishing lyrical solo piano feature andJohn Coltranes Countdown fast for-wards toward a later Trane period freer ofrhythmic and harmonic constraints whilestill honoring the tune

Iyers own pieces include four trio distil-lations of music from his 19-piece ensem-ble collaboration with novelist Teju ColeOpen City three of them inspired by birdsfound in NYC and one based on a multi-rhythmic idea by Indian composer RajnaSwaminathan Mystery Woman develop-ing from abstract lines through rumblingtwo-handed piano figures and a thunder-

ous trio climax and back to a softerabstraction

Another track Hood is dedicated toDetroit techno-producer DJ Robert Hoodunfolding as a mashup of hip-hop andIndian rhythms and minimalistmelodicharmonic kernels Throughoutbassist Stephan Crump and drummerMarcus Gilmore play as if empatheticallyjoined at the hip with Iyer respondingwith lightening reflexes as they createseamless ensemble passages that changeand react like quicksilver

Seeming math patterns and basic scalesintroduce some tunes providing a decep-tively simple base for what often blossomsinto complex creative tangents Hearingthis albummdashor this trio live as I was fortu-nate to do earlier this yearmdashis an indelibleexperience

Ileacute Omar Sosa Quarteto AfroCubanoamphellip (Otaacute Records) is often as densely lay-ered as the multi-percussion voice andstringhorn ensembles of Africa and Cubathe ones where drums are hung with bellsand rattles that resonate Sosa plays bothpiano and Fender Rhodes often on thesame tracks frequently also layering onEFX from various synths Voices andreeds like as not tandem or over-dubbedappear on many tracks as do multipleAfro-Cuban percussionists Yet the musicis fundamentally traditional hewing tolargely established Afro-Cuban forms andrhythms although Sosa tosses in novelinnovations like a heavy dose of flamencowith a singer and handclaps a case forwhich can be made as an AfricanMoorish-influenced Spanish style

While Sosa sacrifices the bravura flam-boyance he has displayed on other record-ings his playing here perfectly fits andaccommodates the often hypnotic engross-ingly engaging music purveyed especiallywhen he unveils a sensitive lyrical vein ason the quartet of improvised Momentos I-IV featuring his acoustic piano withYosvany Terrys soprano sax and percus-sionists The album reveals the breadth ofSosas influences from Cuba includingmore forms and rhythms than might beexpected and from his wide world listen-ing

The Vijay Iyer Trio appears at JazzStandard April 22-26 Omar SosaQuarteto AfroCubano is in concert atBRIC House Ballroom Brooklyn onApril 30

JAZZ MUSICIANS ARE LUCKYtoday to experience playing in a bigband in school and few actually get to per-form in a professional jazz orchestra mostof which are rehearsal bands with weeklyor monthly public appearances at bestHowever it was different when JoeTemperley who is celebrating his 25thyear with the Jazz at Lincoln CenterOrchestra (JLCO) was in his teens andtwenties

The octogenarian native Scotsman cameof age in Great Britain during and afterWorld War II playing tenor sax profes-sionally in bands by the time he was 20 in1949 After working in a number of Britishbig and small bands over the next halfdecademdashincluding a stint with Americanex-pat trumpeter Dizzy Reecemdashheswitched to baritone sax in 1955 to joinTommy Whittles band But his big breakcame when he became a member ofHumphrey Lyttletons popular big band onbaritone and tenor sax staying from 1958to 1965 when he moved to and settled inNew York

Temperley first met Harry Carney thegreat baritone saxophonist in DukeEllingtons Orchestra when the Duketoured Great Britain in October 1958When Lyttletons band was touringAmerica in 1959 Temperleys first triphere he was hosted by Carney in NewYork The Ellingtonian took him (Carneyalways drove) to see the band in NewJersey at Lambertville Music Circus thefirst music tent in the United States onJuly 7 (I know the date well as I alsoattended that concert) Ill always associ-ate Harry with that erector set road struc-ture [the Pulaski Skyway] in New Jerseysays Temperley as it was his firstAmerican road trip

Hardly conforming to the stereotype ofthe dour Scotsmanmdashone his favorite adjec-tives is wonderfulmdashTemperley not onlysought out Carney who became a close

friend as well as one of his biggest heroes but also called his other baritone heroCecil Payne out of the blue to coax him out of retirement to take Temperleys placein Woody Hermans Orchestra where heplayed in 1966-67

Although he fulfilled a dream by takingthe baritone sax chair in the EllingtonOrchestra in 1974 after the deaths of bothDuke and Carney Temperley says hisfavorite big band experience was with thelate 1960searly 1970s Thad Jones-MelLewis Jazz Orchestra the Monday nightband at the Village Vanguard

I loved that gig it was wonderful hesays But I really wasnt equipped to playthe music at the time The band was filledwith my jazz idols like Snooky Young(trumpet) Britt Woodman (trombone) andof course the co-leaders Temperley wascalled to sub for Pepper Adams when thatbaritone saxophonist had to go to Detroit tocare for an ailing family member I stayedfor three and half years he says ruefullyadding but it was always understood thatI was a sub

After working with the Ellingtonorchestra under Mercer Ellington in themid-1970s Temperley pursued an activefreelance schedule including Broadwayshows regular tours of Great Britainwhere he hosted a BBC-TV program andfrequent work on the jazz party and cruisecircuit that showcased swing and trad jazzIt was wonderful to be able to work withKenny Davern (clarinet) Snooky RalphSutton (piano) and Milt Hinton he sayshaving also performed in a duo with bassistHinton on the BBC

The only remaining original member ofthe JLCO besides leader Wynton MarsalisTemperley is featured with the band onbass clarinet and soprano sax as well asholding down the sonic horn bottom onbaritone sax He particularly enjoys play-ing bass clarinet settings of Ellingtonpiano pieces such as Sunset and theMockingbird and Single Petal of a Rose

An enthusiastic teacher at Julliard andManhattan School of Music Temperley hasone caveat What I dont like to hear isyoung people who bring their lessons to thebandstand playing all the patterns andstuff they learned in school You dont dothat in jazz jazz is a story and you have tohave some kind of a story to play Theyvetaken the romance out of jazz he says Ilike romantic jazz Ben Webster CarneyCharlie Parker And on soprano sax LuckyThompson and Zoot Sims were myfavorites they had a beautiful sound

Celebrating Joe Temperley FromDuke to the JLCO showcasing thepremiere of a Wynton Marsalis threemovement concerto dedicated to andfeaturing Temperley is at JALCsRose Theater April 16-18 It can beheard on the Internet at jazzorglive

JAZZ MUSICIANS ARE LUCKYtoday to experience playing in a bigband in school and few actually get to per-form in a professional jazz orchestra mostof which are rehearsal bands with weeklyor monthly public appearances at bestHowever it was different when JoeTemperley who is celebrating his 25thyear with the Jazz at Lincoln CenterOrchestra (JLCO) was in his teens andtwenties

The octogenarian native Scotsman cameof age in Great Britain during and afterWorld War II playing tenor sax profes-sionally in bands by the time he was 20 in1949 After working in a number of Britishbig and small bands over the next halfdecademdashincluding a stint with Americanex-pat trumpeter Dizzy Reecemdashheswitched to baritone sax in 1955 to joinTommy Whittles band But his big breakcame when he became a member ofHumphrey Lyttletons popular big band onbaritone and tenor sax staying from 1958to 1965 when he moved to and settled inNew York

Temperley first met Harry Carney thegreat baritone saxophonist in DukeEllingtons Orchestra when the Duketoured Great Britain in October 1958When Lyttletons band was touringAmerica in 1959 Temperleys first triphere he was hosted by Carney in NewYork The Ellingtonian took him (Carneyalways drove) to see the band in NewJersey at Lambertville Music Circus thefirst music tent in the United States onJuly 7 (I know the date well as I alsoattended that concert) Ill always associ-ate Harry with that erector set road struc-ture [the Pulaski Skyway] in New Jerseysays Temperley as it was his firstAmerican road trip

Hardly conforming to the stereotype ofthe dour Scotsmanmdashone his favorite adjec-tives is wonderfulmdashTemperley not onlysought out Carney who became a close

friend as well as one of his biggest heroes but also called his other baritone heroCecil Payne out of the blue to coax him out of retirement to take Temperleys placein Woody Hermans Orchestra where heplayed in 1966-67

Although he fulfilled a dream by takingthe baritone sax chair in the EllingtonOrchestra in 1974 after the deaths of bothDuke and Carney Temperley says hisfavorite big band experience was with thelate 1960searly 1970s Thad Jones-MelLewis Jazz Orchestra the Monday nightband at the Village Vanguard

I loved that gig it was wonderful hesays But I really wasnt equipped to playthe music at the time The band was filledwith my jazz idols like Snooky Young(trumpet) Britt Woodman (trombone) andof course the co-leaders Temperley wascalled to sub for Pepper Adams when thatbaritone saxophonist had to go to Detroit tocare for an ailing family member I stayedfor three and half years he says ruefullyadding but it was always understood thatI was a sub

After working with the Ellingtonorchestra under Mercer Ellington in themid-1970s Temperley pursued an activefreelance schedule including Broadwayshows regular tours of Great Britainwhere he hosted a BBC-TV program andfrequent work on the jazz party and cruisecircuit that showcased swing and trad jazzIt was wonderful to be able to work withKenny Davern (clarinet) Snooky RalphSutton (piano) and Milt Hinton he sayshaving also performed in a duo with bassistHinton on the BBC

The only remaining original member ofthe JLCO besides leader Wynton MarsalisTemperley is featured with the band onbass clarinet and soprano sax as well asholding down the sonic horn bottom onbaritone sax He particularly enjoys play-ing bass clarinet settings of Ellingtonpiano pieces such as Sunset and theMockingbird and Single Petal of a Rose

An enthusiastic teacher at Julliard andManhattan School of Music Temperley hasone caveat What I dont like to hear isyoung people who bring their lessons to thebandstand playing all the patterns andstuff they learned in school You dont dothat in jazz jazz is a story and you have tohave some kind of a story to play Theyvetaken the romance out of jazz he says Ilike romantic jazz Ben Webster CarneyCharlie Parker And on soprano sax LuckyThompson and Zoot Sims were myfavorites they had a beautiful sound

Celebrating Joe Temperley FromDuke to the JLCO showcasing thepremiere of a Wynton Marsalis threemovement concerto dedicated to andfeaturing Temperley is at JALCsRose Theater April 16-18 It can beheard on the Internet at jazzorglive

AFTER 60 YEARS OF SINGING bebop Sheila Jordan is thrilled to be

playing her first weeklong stint atBirdland especially since it was namedafter her hero and her guardian angelCharlie Parker

As a child growing up dirt poor in aPennsylvania coal-mining town youngSheila was unhappy the only thing thatalleviated her sadness was singing Shelearned the hit songs of the day and stud-ied piano but she didnt know what shereally wanted to sing until she moved toDetroit as a teen One day she put a nickelin a jukebox at a burger joint to check outParker and his Re-Boppers playing Nowsthe Time I heard the first four notes andthat was it My skin was crawling and Ithought Thats the music Im going to ded-icate my life to

Along with two black teens she formeda vocal trio that sang original lyrics toParker tunes and solos well beforeLambert Hendricks and Ross We went tosee Charlie at a concert at a Detroit ball-room and sang Confirmation for him atintermission and he remembered that shesays The first time I saw him at Birdlandafter I moved to New York he said Yourethe kid with the million dollar ears Andthen we became very good friends Hespent a lot of time in my loft Bird becamelike a big brother to me

Jordan says she was hoping to escapethe rampant prejudice of Detroit when shemoved to NYC in the early 1950s But asshe was walking with two black artistsnear her apartment in the Village theywere jumped by four white men Threeheld her friends the fourth started beatingher and another man approached with agun I thought Oh my god Im going to dieover this but thats okay I know Im rightand I know its all going to change one dayI just feel it and theres nothing I wouldntdo to keep this music alive The guy turnedout to be a plainclothes policeman I dontknow how he was there but I think Birdput him there to save my life I always saywhen something looks bad and then itturns out alright I say Thank you BirdHes my guardian angel

ANOTHER REASON TO CELEBRATEBy Elzy Kolb

Support from the rootsAlthough jazz wasnt big in her

Australian hometown of Toowoomba saxo-phonistcomposer Angela Davis heardplenty of it at home from her fathersrecord collection and from her two oldersiblings who played in bands She startedout on piano but always wanted to playsaxophone Her music-loving familyencouraged Davis to follow her bliss andwithin a few years she made the switchfrom keyboard to alto

Davis ranks Lee Konitz and PaulDesmond high among the players whoinfluenced and inspired her People thinkPaul Desmond was a simple player but itsnot true His harmonic sense was incredi-ble Discovering Art Peppers recordingswith strings such as Winter Moon alsomade a strong impression That becameone of my favorites of all time she saysThe strings naturally enhance the melodyits something special Recording withstrings became a dream for me

The dream recently became realitywhen Davis a Big Apple resident since2010 received a foundation grant knownas the Empire Theatres Brian BoakBursary which aims to provide opportuni-ties for artists with ties to the Toowoombaregion The saxophonist used the money toproduce her second CD Lady Luck(Nicholas) in a quartet plus four stringssetting

In choosing the eight compositions forthe recording All of them had to have ahistory or meaning for me beyond just lik-ing it They have to give me something tothink about Having a connection to a piecegave me extra energy during the recordingsession at the end of a long day In addi-tion to three originals Davis picked somelesser-known standards such as MichelLegrands You Must Believe in Spring

ANOTHER REASON TO CELEBRATEBy Elzy Kolb

Support from the rootsAlthough jazz wasnt big in her

Australian hometown of Toowoomba saxo-phonistcomposer Angela Davis heardplenty of it at home from her fathersrecord collection and from her two oldersiblings who played in bands She startedout on piano but always wanted to playsaxophone Her music-loving familyencouraged Davis to follow her bliss andwithin a few years she made the switchfrom keyboard to alto

Davis ranks Lee Konitz and PaulDesmond high among the players whoinfluenced and inspired her People thinkPaul Desmond was a simple player but itsnot true His harmonic sense was incredi-ble Discovering Art Peppers recordingswith strings such as Winter Moon alsomade a strong impression That becameone of my favorites of all time she saysThe strings naturally enhance the melodyits something special Recording withstrings became a dream for me

The dream recently became realitywhen Davis a Big Apple resident since2010 received a foundation grant knownas the Empire Theatres Brian BoakBursary which aims to provide opportuni-ties for artists with ties to the Toowoombaregion The saxophonist used the money toproduce her second CD Lady Luck(Nicholas) in a quartet plus four stringssetting

In choosing the eight compositions forthe recording All of them had to have ahistory or meaning for me beyond just lik-ing it They have to give me something tothink about Having a connection to a piecegave me extra energy during the recordingsession at the end of a long day In addi-tion to three originals Davis picked somelesser-known standards such as MichelLegrands You Must Believe in Spring

(New York winters have been a strugglefor me this gives me hope of its inevitableend) and Thad Jonesrsquo Lady Luck (Myfamily teases me because Im lucky)Davis also recognized her roots with Abidewith Me a hymn associated with AnzacDay Australias national day of World WarI remembrance Davis recorded the pieceas a duo with pianist Dan Tepfer

Strength behind the scenesPianist Harold Mabern is an in-com-

mand bandleader and an assertive soloistwith nearly two dozen recordings as aleader But he insists that instead of beingthe star of the show hed rather play thesideman role and accompany singersWhen you play with singers they canteach you to be a great musician a com-plete pianist You learn different thingsfrom different people you mash thattogether and thats who you are The moreyou learn the more you realize you dontknow

He explains the art of comping Its a special passion Youve got to be patientyouve got to be in a supportive role Yourpiano is your orchestra and you have toorchestrate as you comp You got to listenwith total concentrationmdashyour mind hasgot to be on that bandstand And you haveto use your imagination Einstein saidImagination is more important thanknowledge and he was right

Maberns new CD Afro Blue (SmokeSessions) features contributions from fivesingers Alexis Cole Kurt Elling NorahJones Jane Monheit and Gregory PorterIts definitely the most challenging thingIve done in 63 years of playing musicMabern says Except for a single gig withCole at William Paterson University thepianist never worked or even jammed withany of the vocalists before He didnt have aspecific repertoire in mind and there wasno rehearsal time budgeted

The selection of the 14 songs on the CDcame about almost organically Mabernhad Porter in mind for the title compositionand an original and the pianist suggestedMonheit sing My One and Only Love arequest that delighted her since it was herwedding song Jones picked a couple ofthings she wanted to sing Mabern taughtCole a tune over the phone and Elling didan impromptu vocal on a piece that wassupposed to be an instrumental

Im proud of this record I didnt thinkwe could pull it off the pianist saysEverything was done in the studio on thespot in one take almost like a live albumWhen we recorded Inside Betty Carter wehad six days of rehearsal for that date

The pianist who turned 79 on March20 has no interest in slowing down Inever get tired until I stop he says with alaugh I just got a call for a date in April2016 A firm believer in lifelong learninghe teaches at William Paterson Universitybut considers himself to be an advancedstudent Its the best of both worlds I getpaid to learn from my students

Mabern and his trio will celebrate therelease of Afro Blue at Smoke April 10-12with guests Eric Alexander and AlexisCole And who knows maybe a few othersingers will drop by to join in the fun

HOT FLASHES

Musician-Painters CornerArriving in New York nearly 40 years

ago Judi Silvanohas established an excep-tional track record as a highly regardedvocalist a respected composer capable ofcrafting nuanced and wonderfully texturedworks and a beloved educator Recentlyhowever she has also introduced the pub-lic to another creative role of hers visualartist A talented painter Silvano hasincreased her output in the field and is dis-playing her works throughout the HudsonValley

For Silvano a broad and inclusive viewof the arts has been an integral part of herlife and aesthetics from the very beginningRaised in an arts-loving household inPhiladelphia from an early age Silvanodrew painted danced sang acted andstudied flute Though initially focused ondance enrolling with the PennsylvaniaBallet Company Silvano ultimatelyattended Temple University and pursued adual degree in voice and dance

While she always admired and lovedjazz Silvano did not come to view herselfas an improviser until she moved to NewYork in 1976 and joined a remarkable cre-ative community of composers and impro-visers notably Joe Lovano and KennyWerner Within this group Silvano discov-ered a collaborative energy that drew herpowerfully to jazz There were so manypeople with whom wed present new com-positions Silvano remembers It was anopen forum for experimentation and cre-ativity and I started dancing as an impro-viser and singing as an improviser

As her career progressed Silvano blazeda trail as a remarkable and original voicein the music Indeed the highly diverseupbringing she enjoyed as a child instilledin her a lifelong desire to appreciate allforms of art and to continuously stretchboundaries and creative limits Ivealways been very open and excited by thecreative spirit Silvano explains I guessit says something about me that one of mymothers favorite songs was Dont FenceMe In

In this vein Silvano recently found her-self drawn back to painting While she hadengaged in visual art throughout her lifethree years ago she undertook formalstudy diving into it fully as a creative out-let While the visual arts might seem aworld away from jazz Silvano found thatimprovising in music had prepared her as apainter Nature never sits still I could

Musician-Painters CornerArriving in New York nearly 40 years

ago Judi Silvanohas established an excep-tional track record as a highly regardedvocalist a respected composer capable ofcrafting nuanced and wonderfully texturedworks and a beloved educator Recentlyhowever she has also introduced the pub-lic to another creative role of hers visualartist A talented painter Silvano hasincreased her output in the field and is dis-playing her works throughout the HudsonValley

For Silvano a broad and inclusive viewof the arts has been an integral part of herlife and aesthetics from the very beginningRaised in an arts-loving household inPhiladelphia from an early age Silvanodrew painted danced sang acted andstudied flute Though initially focused ondance enrolling with the PennsylvaniaBallet Company Silvano ultimatelyattended Temple University and pursued adual degree in voice and dance

While she always admired and lovedjazz Silvano did not come to view herselfas an improviser until she moved to NewYork in 1976 and joined a remarkable cre-ative community of composers and impro-visers notably Joe Lovano and KennyWerner Within this group Silvano discov-ered a collaborative energy that drew herpowerfully to jazz There were so manypeople with whom wed present new com-positions Silvano remembers It was anopen forum for experimentation and cre-ativity and I started dancing as an impro-viser and singing as an improviser

As her career progressed Silvano blazeda trail as a remarkable and original voicein the music Indeed the highly diverseupbringing she enjoyed as a child instilledin her a lifelong desire to appreciate allforms of art and to continuously stretchboundaries and creative limits Ivealways been very open and excited by thecreative spirit Silvano explains I guessit says something about me that one of mymothers favorite songs was Dont FenceMe In

In this vein Silvano recently found her-self drawn back to painting While she hadengaged in visual art throughout her lifethree years ago she undertook formalstudy diving into it fully as a creative out-let While the visual arts might seem aworld away from jazz Silvano found thatimprovising in music had prepared her as apainter Nature never sits still I could

SCOTT COLLEY BASSIST OF CHOI-ce for such jazz legends as Herbie

Hancock Jim Hall Pat Metheny AndrewHill and Michael Brecker has recordedseven CDs of his own compositions mostrecently Empire (CAM) and has appearedon more than 200 albums During the lastfew years he has toured extensively withhis quartet and trio in the US Europeand South America His newest recordingwith the KoppelColleyBlade CollectiveProjectmdashBenjamin Koppel on sax andBrian Blade drumsmdashis available atArtistsharecom On April 11 Colley is theguest artist for Connection WORKSrsquosBrooklyn Jazz Wide Open series at theBrooklyn Conservatory of Music Moreinformation is available at wwwscottcolleycom

Q What youve been listening tolately live or recordedA Recently Ive been listening to the

Spanish composer Federico MompouMusica Callada (Silent music) a series of28 short pieces for piano Also Ive beenrevisiting The Life of a Trio (Saturday andSunday) with Jimmy Giuffre Paul Bleyand Steve SwallowAnything in your life that rivals

your love dedication to musicIve been making music for most of my

life Many of the other aspects of my lifeoutside of musicmdashfamily relationshipsfriends personnal interestsmdashare fusedinto the fabric of my experience day to dayThings that inspire me in my life informthe music Conversely things that I experi-ence through music teach me things aboutlife All the things I do including musicare just different ways of experiencing theprocess of life So the short answer thereare lots of things music is just one of themFavorite place in the world to play

public or privateThere are many favorite places around

the world that I look forward to playingbut here in New York I would have to say

that I always look forward to playing theVillage Vanguard for the sound and for thefeeling of being part of the great lineage ofartistsDo you think playing appreciating

jazz requires intelligenceObviously appreciating any art that has

a message in any form requires a level ofintelligence But this is especially true inimprovisation because this form is a lan-guage with or without words More impor-tant than intelligence though it requiresempathy Do more musical ideas come to you

from dreams or the news of the dayAll expression and compositional con-

tent comes from true experience somefrom my internal world and some from theexternal With that in mind its hard todistinguish I suppose that I draw equallyfrom both with emphasis on one or theother depending on the musical moment orthe composition Im creatingIf you were starting out now would

you change anythingI think if I was able to go back and

change anything I would try to have morepatience to try to see things more long-term and see that the development of mymusic as a lifelong process How have your recorded music lis-

tening habits changed over the yearsMy listening time these days is limited

so I think the biggest thing thats changedfor me in the last years is that I really onlyspend my time listening to music that res-onates directly or challenges me in someway and if it doesnt I move on to some-thing that does right away And I think Iam able to listen with a more intense focuson detail

A life in music more perspiration orinspiration

I think that as much as possible I needto keep those two aspects as equal as pos-sible balance is the key If one becomesmore prominent than the other then Iknow that I am out of balance SometimesI need to push through even when Im notfeeling inspired But constant work with-out inspiration is meaningless

ldquoSometimes I need to pushthrough even when Irsquom notfeeling inspired But con-stant work without inspira-

tion is meaninglessrdquo
