This is why we should share it all.

Welcome to jazz world.

A forest of guitars, growing from the soil like trees.
An ocean of drums, all rolling, rolling.

In the mountains, saxophones and trumpets
blow deep, rich notes, improvising in the snow.

And the valley below holds a thousand pianos,
a thousand xylophones, and one stand-up bass.

The world is ready, friend, count off the beat.
Life is an improvisation, let's begin.

James Lee Jobe

Wayne Shorter, Footprints

Be empty, that is all.

Chuang-tzu

This is why we should share it all. 

Light from the perfect sun  is slicing through the air  like radio-waves.  On my radio today  there is some fine music,  and the sun is talking to me  through the beams of light,  saying, "We all live here.  Friend, we all need a home."  And so we do, friend, so we do. 

James Lee Jobe
