    • The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao

    Likewise, the Jazz that can be named is not the eternal Jazz.

    You may say BeBop, Swing, Dixieland, Cool, Hard Bop, Free, Latin, Ragtime, Modal, Third Stream, et alia ... and they are simultaneously "Jazz" and not Jazz. They are Jazz in that they evolved within the unfolding universe of Jazz, but they are not - each alone - Jazz exclusively.

    The universe of Jazz continues to expand and defy borderlines, even in these modern and dystopian times, perhaps especially because of modernity and dystopia. Jazz can offer a deep reflection of our world, but simultaneously offers a portal out of it ... or, perhaps, next to it. A mirror-world where we can abstractly explore our cosmic connections to this strangely unfolding story we carelessly label Reality (as if "Reality" is concretely the same for everyone experiencing "it").

    As such, Jazz is not the music itself, but a conduit through which music flows, and through which we can travel to dimensions of awareness that connect us to ourselves, to each other, and to the Cosmos.

    Some artists are very intentionally creating music with this mysticism in mind, and so I thought it would be interesting to offer a small playlist for you to explore a very few of the artists I have come to enjoy for the way in which their music can lift the veils of mundane reality to reveal dimensions and depths of magical, musical experiences.

    These are not my Top Ten, even though there are ten titles. Rather, these are ten from among thousands and thousands. I'm skipping over a few obvious choices (John Coltrane, for instance) because you're likely already familiar. Here I'm offering a double-handful of names and albums that you might not have explored, each of them a different entrance into The Grand Mystical Forest ...

    Happy travels! 

     

     

    Mini-TRØN is a direct trickle-down product from TRØN, where I’m using some of our QuieTex materials and techniques to create an RF and EM insulative blanket of sorts in order to help defray the effects of RF/EM from without and within. It’s an electrically precise 75 Ohm coaxial cable with an outstanding bandwidth.
    Terminated with 75 Ohm BNC, includes Black Cat 75 Ohm RCA adapters.
