Slow down indeed

 


I certainly like this. Lisa Hilton is a pianist from California. She's got a good rapport with her combo.

Jazz is unusual in the fact that a drummer―such as this very good one―might stick to his cymbals for almost the length of a song. It makes for a dramatic switch when he starts tapping on the snare drum

That was a beautiful piece of music. I see what you mean about the rapport between the three musicians - very subtly done. Jazz is nice because it allows an almost trancendental level of mutually enhancing communication.

On a very different note, albeit musical in its own way, you might find this example of the way spiders experience their constructions interesting too. It's a whole new way of seeing webs.

Not really being a musician most of my appreciation of jazz is a matter of "I don't know much about art but I know what I like." But I can sense the rapport you're talking about in this combo.

You're quite right about that being an interesting article about spiders. I don't think I appreciated how good they are about sensing different kinds of vibration, although it makes sense.
