Soul tinged…
Music is a journey.
Jazz is getting lost.
~ ` ~ john O’ Farrell
Jazz is
Freedom…
~ ` ~ Thelonious Mark
Don’t play the saxophone..
Let it play you..
~ ` ~ Charlie Parker
If you ain’t got it
in you
you can’t blow
it out.
~ ` ~ Louis Armstrong
To jazz ,
or
not to jazz,
there is no
question.
~ ` ~ Louis Armstrong
Seemed to me drumming was
the best way to get
close to
god.
~ ` ~ Lionel Hampton
keep calm…
Jazz dance on…
jazz is something that you
have to feel
It’s something that you have
to live.
~ ` ~ Ray Brown
Life is about
rhythm.
We vibrate,
our hearts are pumping
blood,
we are a rhythm machine.
That’s what
we are.
~ ` ~ Mikey Hart
The memory of things gone
is important
to a jazz
musician.
~ ` ~ Louis Armstrong
If you ask
what jazz is
you’ll
never know.
~ ` ~ Louis Armstrong
My whole life, my whole soul,
my whole spirit
is to blow
that horn…
~ ` ~ Louis Armstrong
What we play
is
life.

This a wonderful post. Your black and white photos of these musicians are amazing. I love Jazz and listen to it often. I am familiar with the artists here, especially Thelonious Monk, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker and Lionel Hampton. All gifted musicians and so many gone now. Thank you so much for this.

I didn’t know photos can translate jazz until this “Soul Tinged” post. These photos and quotes tell stories and let us feel jazz and know what they play is life.
We have been New Orleans a few times, a great place to listen to Jazz.
Thank you for this post, Sriram. 🙂 So glad you are back!

This is quite a different post for you, Sriram! I just love the way you portrayed these musicians and I really felt the “soul” of the emotion behind these pictures. Music and rhythm is so part of our Essence yet it is very sad that so many people have forgotten. Your post and all the quotes really moved my heart. Thank you! 💖🌸💗

Jazz is not my favourite genre of music, however, your photos take me back to a visit in New Orleans and I’m reminded of how much I loved Jazz when hearing it played live.
