"three raindrops
a greeting card from heaven...
midsummer heat"  - 

Issa - ca. 1790
 
Sultry summer evening here on the corners of West 10th street and 7th avenue, where below my feet exist two jazz caves filled with music, musicians and fellow Human Beings.  A slight drizzle leaves the pavement damp and the air smelling clean.  I traverse back and forth, from the West to the East and then again, to the West.  Hailing friends on the way, smiling to familiar faces.  My hardworking doormen greeting customers and cajoling them to explore beneath ground - the jazz underground.  Wide-eyed, nervous but happy, neophytes dare to descend - not sure if they'll like it or not.  Some skeptical, others ready to dive in.  The music captures them.  The feeling of the places capture them - it's something that is rare, not found elsewhere.  "It is real New York", they marvel, eager to drink the deep-vibe of our music and culture.  To share, also, in the joy of its creation and the strength of the bond of the community.  They want to join - to be part of it and to feel included.  On that night they may drink a little more than they should but for one evening they feel the Bohemian spirit and the ghosts of musicians past - willow-o-the-wisp forces brushing gently against the faces of their souls and leaving the stain of the blues in their hearts.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the clubs.  Much great music scheduled to share and enjoy.

Regards,

Spike
