I had saved this following quote for myself in my own archives since it was so inspiring!! This is how Andre Talley described his feelings on meeting Michelle Obama; Upon reading his experience it just wanted me to make me that bigger person. Thank you so much Andrew for this unexpected connection... with love... Margo André Leon Talley, Vogue’s editor at large, wrote about the first lady in hagiographic terms. “She focuses all her calm attention on your face,” he beamed. “Being the focus of this reassuring gaze is akin to hearing a chord from John Coltrane’s ‘A Love Supreme.’ Or maybe Ralph Vaughan Williams’s ‘The Lark Ascending.’ All is well and right and real.” Incredible!!… I had saved this following quote for myself in my own archives since it was so inspiring!!

I would add Ornette Coleman "Voice Poetry" and the Body Meta album in general. Also the amazing musicianship of Pharoah Sanders, Rahsaan Roland Kirk (I love "Primitive Ohio") and Albert Ayler (I like "New York Eye and Ear Control" with Don Cherry and Gary Peacock and "Spiritual Unity" a classic). Yes!

I wholeheartedly agree with his selections that frequently appear on myriad jazz essentials lists I would add Herbie Hancock's "Butterfly" from the Thrust album. There's something I find very soul-stirring and soul awakening in the way the harmonies build to an exciting crescendo. My favorite trumpeter is, was and ever shall be, Freddie Hubbard, whose high notes could enter stratospheric realms at a moment's notice. Interestingly was a member of Herbie's quintet, that included Wayne Shorter (tenor), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums). My favorite FH song is s "First Light," a beautifully majestic composition evoking an awakening and a deep level. Another favorite worth mentioning is the beautiful bittersweet ballad, "I Can't Get Started" by the great alto sax magician, Julian Cannonball Adderley, from the album, "Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley..
