what I haven't played (2011)

I played alot of jazz in my lifetime.
but in the end, it comes down to what I haven't played
I ask myself, "How much space am I giving?"
Is there room for more space than that taken by the players that are there?
What I'm saying is, when there are four musicians playing, is there room for a fifth, or more?
Harmonic Playing
has recently come to my attention.

And im looking for others who hear this.


I ask the question: Why is this being said....
but this was then, and now... was...

These are the thoughts from the S. Rats' last gig when the question asked, "Why are we playing this way?"

"You are cosmic kalaidescope...random chaos"

"Because you dont care. Because you want to go back to the roots. Because you want to be free"


"Porque Santa Cecilia en lo quiere"


"Cada musico interpreta con el corazon"




"First of all, why the f$%@ not? Creo que cuando alguien que toca como ustedes y lleve asente de a la luna y vuelta, pienso que es porque poniendo a un lado lo complejo. " Translated, basically, "It brings you to the moon and back"


"It must! it knows no other way but to fulfill itself through us!"

These are but a few...
