Jazz is not for wankers......

Just read an amazing comment on another blog;

Hoping to get permission to reproduce some of it and expand a little on a subject close to my heart.

Jazz is not for wankers it's for everyone who is prepared to listen with their heart and head working together in tandem.

Last night I saw how such poetry and motion can be accomplished with the subtlest of touches. Jamie Oehlers, James Muller, Sam Keevers, Tim Firth and Cameron Undy at http://www.venue505.com on a Wednesday night played to a small but passionate audience.

The music flowed like water flowing over rocks, with space and quiet and noise and rhythm seamlessly combining.

More on this when I have time to write something a little more erudite and academic with a touch of the experiential.
