The message, or the medium?
Whichever way you choose to perceive it, I invite you on a wild beautiful expert ride through sounds. The creators are Carl Sonny Leyland, piano; Lakshmi Ramirez, string bass; Jeff Hamilton, drums: the scene is the Jazz Bash by the Bay in Monterey, California, on March 6, 2020. And you’ll understand the first photograph as soon as the video begins. Hold on tight!
I am so glad Sonny and friends and I occupy the same planet. But my feeling is that had we all been born, say, forty years earlier, we could have gone uptown so that he could astonish the other pianists . . . and John Hammond would have signed him to a recording contract.
Feeling totally alive: what a lovely spectacle to witness! And more to come.
May your happiness increase!
Quite wonderful!! And an interesting companion to the equally wonderful version by Donald Lambert which Michael posted a few weeks back!
Thank you, Joe. That Liza, she gets around.
