Traveling across the Sahara Desert in a caravan has always been one of my fantasies, going all the way back to my childhood, and sometimes I slip into them when I hear music involving camels and the desert. Take the lyrics to "Caravan" "Caravan" Night and stars above that shine so bright The myst'ry of their fading light That shines upon our caravan Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep Across the sand so I may keep The mem'ry of our caravan This is so exciting You are so inviting Resting in my arms As I thrill to the magic charms Of you beside me here beneath the blue My dream of love is coming true Within our desert caravan! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTjPAjq8OMY Can't you just picture yourself with this exotic creature in your arms while creeping across the desert in a caravan, (I don't know how that works, it's not exactly the same as a limo) Then there is Hugh Masekela who sings about actually going across the desert in a caravan; so this is what it's really like; he's actually done this before, what an adventure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YJCDQ2i5ME Can anybody chip in to help me on my journey across the desert? |
One of the most common criteria used by jazz players when commenting about each other's playing is whether the player is "saying something" and not simply captivating the listener with impressive musical cheapshots. For me, few have been able to "tell a story" with the clarity that Stanley Turrentine could. https://youtu.be/FNK6tvh1xUQ |
