Went to my local record shop yesterday. I have known the owner since the 70's. I told him as I searched the used jazz section that I was becoming more negative in my comments about people's views in the US and some people we know in our community. I jokingly said, "Well I am back to being a budding Buddhist," Kurt smiled and we exchanged fist bumps. We agreed that hatred no matter how small is creeping into all conversations, even music. Proceeded with my Wayne Shorter, Dr. Lonnie Smith purchases, tipped him then with a smile and said, "see ya soon." I stop in almost weekly and add joy to my life.
Atlantis 1985 his first solo record since 1974 (Note: Wayne is Buddhist)

Bravo.
On this Happy Valentine day we can decide how we groove/syncopate/resonate. Budding Buddhist ... Jazz ... Seems like a plan ...

You have inspired me to listen to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, the Jazz album closest to hand on my iPhone...
Good stuff amigo...
