Jazz she Ain't

[Guest guest]

True as this seems to me of langage to language, it seems equally true of

"meanings" in the identically same language, but across the boundaries of

interpretation from individual to individual. What is "heard" in what is

said depends just as much upon the context of the hearer as the speaker.

The meaning is not "in the words" any more than the music is in the notes.

At best, the words may perhaps function like a vehicle conveying some

ineffable, wordless transmission, the way a person may with presence. They

"carry with them" the essence of a message for those who have eyes to see

and ears to hear.

Hi Gloria, Friends,

 

Well transposed.

Sound words.

A great composer is aware

of the audience and some potential

listenings.

In this way the music conveys

a context that trains the ear,

improves the mind

releases the tension

builds up the possibilities

and creates something unique

for each listener.

You remind me of a trombone.
