Thank you Cecil.

Hmmm. So this is what they meant by avant-garde jazz.

CT's encore, offering such a gift of reflection, silence, contemplation and repose, is beautifully heart breaking.

And if you are willing to go with the ride, you will be rewarded with the delight of discovery. There's so much joy and happiness in the music that I sometimes find myself giggling and smiling while being completely dazzled by his techniques and sound. True art comes from love, not pettiness or cynicism, and in his music one discovers passion. He once said, "To feel is perhaps the most terrifying thing in this society." No question he WILL make you feel, no matter what!

That's exactly what happens to me. And I completely agree with your take on 'True Art'.

Peace

Bob

Did he come back out and take his applause?? Did he really just leave like that!

Thank you so much for the entire concert. Cecil is like battery to me, his music charges my life with high voltage and revitalizes my sense of what it feels like to be alive. He's just phenomenal and so uncompromising and I will be forever indebted to his musical output. He's truly a living treasure in the world. He does not make it easy for you but he's always true to himself and his muse and all he asks for is your attention.
