it took me a lot of attempts to finish this particular self isolation mix. In reality it should have come out a lot sooner. When we were really panicking. You may still be panicking and so may be I, but I don't feel like I felt like six weeks ago, I feel a general sense of calm on top of total disbelief and panic and worry for the future. But I am trying to live in the present. And as old or as new as it is, jazz is a genre that can help you live in the present and stay grounded and refocus your mind, body and soul. And we all need some of that. We need to sit back and feel it. Ideally in some headphones. In an easy chair. Thinking about nothing. Feeling everything. Wanting nothing and knowing that you have it all even if you have nothing at all. You have the music. It's there for you. it exists. And you will survive right along with it. None of this music will ever die, and I hope you won't either. For a long, long, long,long, long, long time. We have so much more to do. The greats want and need our presence. And the ancestors have more hope than we do. Believe me. You will be ok. Please try to get through this one. Love from Matt Sonzala. #Pushermania
