This journal shares reflections on creativity, jazz, improvisation, and the shared experience of making music, along with occasional updates on performances, teaching, and community work.
We’ve decided our project is really not a project but a new way of thinking that will probably effect most of our art from here forward. We give you “Facing Blue.”
The new song, “Hearsay” is close to completion my Alma Cook. Racheal Peterson is creating choreography and teaching it to her dance company, “Breakthrough.” Natalie Pohorski is scoping out the right spot for the photoshoot.
Three amazing young women artists are in collaboration with one another and me, as we build a piece that begins to confront the part we all playing in allowing human slavery to continue in our world. Pretending it’s not there or thinking that people choose this “way of life” is lie we all perpetuate. How can we make a difference?
Please check out some of the works of musician: Alma Cook, dancer: Rachael Peterson and film maker: Natalie Pohorski, as we anticipate the synergy of their collaboration.
