something about john coltrane..
the audio track of -a love supreme/psalms- comes from amsterdam based production company -kindred spirits-. they will host a celebration of john coltrane on september 25th in amsterdam at a place called -the paradiso-. they have asked me to put together a -direct mpac- for the ocassion so i am sort of thinking out loud and musing about some things we may do that evening...come hang out should you be in the region...there will be some interesting surprises...
the poet is one of my closest friends from los angeles. his name is kamau daaoud...i met him during performances with horace tapscott many years ago and i am honored to say we continue a creative association into the light of this new day. the poem, -yellow moon-, is mine, excepted from a cd we did recently together along with st. louis based poet and cultural anthropologist curtis lyle and the very imaginative literary configurist will alexander...i look forward to the time when we can all man the same performance space for what i envision as -the phonetic engineers-...the cd is an effort in that direction...it's entitled -a gift from trane-. it was produced by some very forward thinking people there at tahoe records in navada. really look forward to the time when the business people will look away from profit for a moment and assist us with bringing you all a very ascending experience with us....we envision it first in our minds eye yes....
