Everything is confused, not mysterious, but lost like a set of car
keys or the meaning of a cliché. We look to our roots, sort of retrace
our steps. Find some sort of primal self-awareness. We look
to varying degrees of alterity, our own journey to the East. But
metaphysics just aren't in vogue any more. We need a medium. Some
means of connection. Some language bridging the gap between
action and belief... Rhythm, steady beating...
It is a language even if our people's politicians and business execs
can't hear it... But what does it mean to us? Does it mean anything
or are we inventing some sense to it does it matter?... We allow ourselves
to be confused by it. But in the shared sound is the familiarity
of not being alone in our loneliness; connection with something.
A sense of something beyond the self. Music, rhythm, freedom,
and spirituality all blend together in a way unique to the listener,
the culture, and create the listener-already-in-culture.
Jazz is the crossroads, the journey to and in one's culture/self.
