Listening is the way.

It's an art; it's medicinal; it's how your consciousness breathes.

Best advice I ever got.
So there it is.

Back home in Nashville after a week steeped in the land of the blues. Mississippi is a complex, challenging place. It stirs so much inside me. But sometimes, after a day of languishing in a heat that can stop you in its tracks, you can find an equally arresting beauty. Mississippi is a place I will come back to again and again. I am wild here. And wild women don’t get the blues. ✨✨✨ Nashville, I’ll see y’all Sunday with the band at @pilgrimagefestival let’s giddy up, y’all. 🌿 🌿

Remembering the great Martin Luther King Jr. who was born on this day in 1929. King, who led the civil rights movement from the mid-1950s was fundamental to that movement's success in ending the legal segregation of African Americans in the South and other parts of the United States.

While King himself is usually associated with the gospel singers he loved, he had a deep respect for jazz as well. In his opening address for the 1964 Berlin Jazz Festival, he wrote:

"Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties, and if you think for a moment, you will realize that they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new hope or sense of triumph. This is triumphant music. Modern jazz has continued in this tradition, singing the songs of a more complicated urban existence. When life itself offers no order and meaning, the musician creates an order and meaning from the sounds of the earth which flow through his instrument."
