Vincent plays with JLCO in a Congo Square section that has a similar sound to one in the poetry piece. He has a great sound on the trombone, really deep, gritty tones. What is that structure called? Is it a "Jook" groove? On the Congo Square cd the piece is called "Ajeseke/Jookin'". Careba, it’s true, there’s no trombone with the Quintet!

I want to listen again to those pieces to follow the rhythm of the melody lines in the poetry. And then, when they intensify, and the sound is like Ajeseke from the Congo Square, but with Wynton on Trumpet and Jared on taps, instead of Vincent on Trombone, and it all gets crazy and Skain just blows down on that horn, like he's gettin' the floor hot to make that Grimes jump higher, and faster. Then the sweet sound of a woman's voice comes up, cool like water, sweet like the golden moon rising on the horizon. Good, good, it's so good like that. Careba,

Waiting with eargerness....it sounded great....though it´s basic the sound (the music of the words and the poem).....I like reading poetry slowly and with calm, you get the whole meaning of author; even more if you don´t have it recorded for listening again. Thanks for another great work Wynton. C. Pity!…Thanks anyway.

That evening, there was one woman who performed the poetry parts that were spoken by the women of Sweet Honey and the Rock in Marciac. If they have been thinking to develop material that can incorporate a tap dancer, it seems that this is the repertoire that Wynton chose.

BTW,people at chapiteau said Wynt was "contrarie" because it was supposed to be the singer with the quintet. Was it so or since first moment Sweet Honey were scheduled to read the poem and be the vocals for the concert?. They were perfect, and all a discovery. Same as J.Grimes, marking rhythm and his feet been another instrument perfectly coordinated within the others. Also, in the encores I only recognized The Magic Hour; and never heard of that Moscow Blues, is it recorded in any CD?. And, last but not least, is it available the whole concert in any section of radio france in the web?. C. Luigi, please, would it be posible to read Wynton´s poem here in the web?.

Only Dan on keys and Carlos on bass were playing. Suddenly, I imagine Dan must have closed his eyes, sheets of sound began to wash through my speakers. Those two, with Ali on drums, now that makes an unsurpassable rhythm section that seriously can communicate with each other. At that point, Grimes came in on the taps, his rhythmic voice hittin' that pocket and staying with the changes. Nice, really nice. As a voice amongst the ensemble, Grimes has found his footing within the frame of the instrumentation. His sounds are distinct and fiery, his speed enhancing the intensity of the dynamic. Congratulations, Gentlemen, excellent work. If Sholto Byrnes had been in the audience, this quintet performance may have caused him to spontaneously combust.

The setting seems idyllic for listening to jazz. Looking forward to seeing the video. What inspired you to write poetry and is this something new to look forward to on a future album? As always you continue to surprise and inspire. Thank you Wynton and Luigi for sharing the wondeful Marciac concerts. The setting seems idyllic for listening to jazz.

Is it possible to get the text of the poem. Also, I am so happy you overcame that ordeal with your lip years ago. Embouchure is everything!! When I saw that interview on "Charlie Rose" pr "Tavis Smiley" - I almost cried. Love, Bev Dear Wynton,
