In accordance with the divine teachings the acquisition of sciences and the perfection of arts are considered acts of worship. If a man engageth with all his power in the acquisition of a science or in the perfection of an art, it is as if he has been worshiping God in churches and temples.
From the Baha’i Sacred Writings
Jamey Aebersold has given away copies of his Jazz Handbook at workshops for years and more recently, he has also made it available for download at his website.
Unfortunately he has broken the booklet up into 40 separate PDF files. I don’t know about you, but I’m sure that I don’t want to sift through that many files when referring to the handbook or using some of the included material as a handout. So I downloaded them all and combined them into a single booklet just like the one Jamey would give you! It’s a great resource to have on your computer.
Must have been a blast to create this set!
Wow. Just check out these lyrics from David Wilcox’s new release Open Hand. What an amazing songwriter.
Vow of Silence
I’ll keep my vow of silence now forever
It’s the only way
If you can’t hear my heart when we’re together
There’s nothing I could say
The trees explain the wind out in the distance
The message is so clear
I have to send my words through your resistance
So silent you can hear
I walked upon this earth and spoke in beauty
To people all around
I waved away the words that poured right through me
And never made a sound
For if I spoke as loud as rolling thunder
Another war could start
So I speak in silent sacred wonder
Straight into the heart
I’m moving in the waves that roll the ocean
Meet me at the shore
The flowers on the grave can’t stop the motion
I’m closer than before
If the light has chased off all your demons
There’s nothing you must do
There’s no need to explain what you believe in
They’ll feel my love in you
I’m giving you the right: let love adore you
Across the years and miles
I’m living this new life that’s waiting for you
See it in my smile
