Great atmosphere-evoking music that transports me to luscious summers of younger days. And here summer just ended! That's the kind of year it's been. And I'm thinking that Jazz Gumbo is coming to an end. Time to shift up to the flow of change that's always tugging us into the unknown. If nowhere else, I'll stay online for now at obsidianblooms.blogspot.com , but perhaps I'll pop up somewhere to share this music that I'm still loving and that's still loving me. Thrive!

I’m surprised that she isn’t more celebrated. I saw her live, once: Seattle, ’86, a festival in a park, one hot, summer day. I’d never heard of her and she just took the stage and the crowd and romped and rollicked for an hour! Amazing stuff. Yet, I’ve only just got my second album by her, as I comb the second hand stores and yard sales. And I never hear her name on Jazz radio. I’m always discovering new evidence that the world is just that way: you miss almost everything from a distance; highlights and headlines alone don’t tell you very much. About anything. You just have to get in close. There are brilliant people everywhere, brimming over with creativity, and they offer new ways of feeling alive, and of seeing the colors and shapes of the world, and they sparkle us with insights that shake us in our shoes when we are stumbled into them. Let us celebrate sound! With Tania and Clifford and Cleo and Sly. And how about that Return to Forever!? Let the music begin… Kirby Obsidian
