The twilight and night are more than
just the end of daylight, they have a mood,
feeling, and soul to them that is different
from the "productive" daylight
hours. The ritual of passing from the end
of one day to another lends a time of reflection
and relaxation both mentally and physically.
The night is the time of dreams, reflection,
and even nightmares as the mind sorts out
the day's learning in preparation for a
new day and its opportunities.
Jeremy shares his musical dreams with
us and then we continue with a second set
starting with Michele's day dreaming shifting
into night dreaming, Sonny's drive deep
into the night, and Jane filling out the
darkened night sky with so many stars and
vocal winds of listening pleasure. Each
provides a texture that is different but
uniquely that of which the pre-nocturnal
and night hours.
Quincy and Stan sooth our evening solace
with a couple lush orchestrations sandwiching
a familiar bed time story from Uncle Jazzbo.
And our next set features the straight talking
Mose doing no talking at all, but instead
blowing the valves for us. The trio
of mental uncertainty and resulting insomnia
from Mose, Artie, and Oscar remind us that
sometimes the night can be unsettling too.
Closing out our hour Willie and Wynton
ponder the night life and all its perfection
and flaws, but most importantly, its certainty,
and all that one can do in the darkened
hours of the day.
