When it hits, you feel ok

[.:.impossible]

It had been one of those days. I needed some healing, bad. Up in a hotel room getting hit over the head by Bean Bags. Good gawd help me! This is what I needed, bad.

Sometimes hearing music for the first time at just the right moment just can’t be beat. Claude have mercy. Bells wouldn’t have done it, but it did yesterday. Not like this though. I was hoping Ayler would wash over me, which was wrong. There was some doubt in my mind, otherwise hope wouldn’t have come into play. Ayler demands everything, and I was giving some to hope. That don’t work. That just don’t work. And I knew it before I hit play. I wasn’t ready for Ayler, but I wanted to be. I wanted that cleansing.

Bean Bags has become an instant personal favorite. Coleman Hawkins, Milt Jackson, and Kenny Burrell with Tommy Flannagan, Eddie Jones, and Connie Kay playing in a very open and bluesy feel. It knocked me out before the first chorus of the first tune was over. The pure ‘jazz’ of it all takes that weight off my shoulders, that yoke off my back, and gently helps my head lift out of the cloud.

I hope everyone has had an experience like this recently, or does again soon. There ain’t nothin’ like music.

Hits you where you live, don't it.

Yes it do. Hits me where I visit too.

So high, you can't get over it....

So low you can't get under it...

I was feeling this sensation this morning. I was listening to 'The Preacher' from Horace Silver And The Jazz Messengers. I had the high feeling when the horns re-entered the song just after Horace's piano solo. Damn near perfect for a few seconds.

Those few seconds are worth living for, IMO.

You feel no pain!

Hit me with music! Brutalize me with music now! I'm on a roll man. Fred Anderson and Robert Barry today on the way to a friend's house. We're building a porch onto the back of his house. That first track is so nice. Some really amazing moments there.

I'm thinking I should start posting in the recommendations forum!
