Little Golden Books recommends that you “make music a part
of your life.” Music has always been a part of my life and long long ago I even played the saxophone but for many years it seems like I was listening to live 50’s or classic
rock music (due to other’s preferences ). Since this is my new journey it is time to “change
up” the music.
Reflection
My real passion had
been listening to jazz. My CD collection
is practically all jazz, so this challenge was to find some live
jazz. I also challenge you to “change- up” your
music.
I was surprised that I found a place that had live great jazz during
the week. I ended up in dimly lit basement room with great acoustics James Street Gastropub and Speakeasy. My head
started to bob as I was lost in the free
flowing base rhythm and scat of the saxophone (my favorite instrument). There was a terrific women saxophone player and since it was an “open
mike” night, a lot of seasoned musicians were changing places. It is time
to get the CDs out (or download on pandora ) again and listen to some of my
Michael Breker, Grover Washington, Ella Fizgerald , Miles Davis , and Michael Franks. (This blog is interactive. Click on name to listen and enjoy.)
I really forgot how much I loved this music! Right now I am listening to my all time favoret song -Doctor Sax. I have to take a break and dance in my
living room now! I say to you go and "get you some jazz" or just change it up! This is a keeper in my new box.
Then Moses and the people of Isreal sang this song to the Lord.. (Exodus 15:1)
Music is a celebration and way to praise!
