The heart sits and takes in all wakes of the universe. A blessing to discover sound and how it enters the body and is shared to all. I feel the sound wraps in and out of my heart and pours through the saxophone. Searching, discovering the Creator. I pray this music reaches into your heart, goes all the way to the deepest place and blossoms up the most beautiful gardens of joy and love, curiosity. I am forever grateful to meet souls such as Lex, Miguel, and Caroline. Through these recordings I poured my heart out with them, it was an endless search and journey together, all together. I write these words now sitting in Ventura assisting my hero, sacred soul, Mr. Wadada Leo Smith. When I first heard his sound it pierced through my heart and kept going until I couldn’t see. Feeling that our souls are made up of this entire universe but yet beyond it. The story of the Salt Doll merging into the sea. Asking the heart questions until the mind stops. Heart takes its course. That feeling merges to silent sweetness. That is this journey. Reflecting and feeling my heart overpour. Knowing this is only the beginning of the journey and what was captured on this recording will never exist again and the next song, Mother willing, will be closer and closer to the center of the heart. I thank God each day for a life in sound and I’ll be searching on this pathway till the very end.
My heart sits in the deep light dear Peter Brotzmann shared to this universe. I hear his spirit each morning. Love to my dear grandmother, gabby fluke-mogul, Jim White, Regina Greene, and Noland, Steph & David, Wobbly. For keeping my heart in this world.
This music is only a reflection of a soul that is ever changing and trying to reach beyond the sun.
Jai Ma
