Dave James Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 In every sense, it's a drug. It makes you feel good, you always want more and you'd like to cut back but you can't. But, I suppose you were really after something a little deeper. OK. For me, its a destination. The culmination of a life spent listening to everything I could get my ears on and finally realizing that this is where I belong. Up over and out. Quote

wesbed Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I could write more detail on this subject but didn't because I/we have done so, often in the past. Yet, it's still a good subject of discussion. Here is a thread from a past discussion on this subject: link Quote
rockefeller center Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) Yet, it's still a good subject of discussion. Discussing air mattresses is interesting, too. Favorite colors, etc. Edited February 16, 2005 by rockefeller center Quote

ghost of miles Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Religious. Seriously--a few years ago I went to see Sonny Rollins at the Madame Walker Theater in Indianapolis, the only building still standing from the glorious age of Indiana Avenue jazz. The theater was built in the 1920s and has a real Harlem Renaissance feel to it; when I walked in, with the lights dimmed and the stage cast in an amber hue, with KIND OF BLUE playing on the overhead, I felt as if I were walking into church. And I mean that in the best kind of way--a church of humanity and a church of God at the same time. Maybe it was the church I'd been waiting to walk into, because I felt what you're supposed to feel when you walk into church (but it's a feeling I've experienced only when I've walked into a deserted church at mid-day to pray; never on a Sunday morning when the congregation's all there). I'm not proposing that jazz be elevated over religion--simply that for me, it has become a significant part of how I feel connected with those who came before me and those who are here today. I guess it makes me feel what it's like to be a human being. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Yes, and also the propping oneself up with one arm while the room spins ratio. Quote

But, I suppose you were really after something a little deeper. OK. For me, its a destination. The culmination of a life spent listening to everything I could get my ears on and finally realizing that this is where I belong. Up over and out. I definitely agree, it usually relaxes me. But me being the idiosyncratic person I am, I use the rhythm of the music to reflect on different aspects of life (not just my life, but life in general and other theoretical "stuff"). It helps all of my thoughts flow smoothly. Quote
