OK,
It's period 1 in my honors physics class. My students are working diligently finishing up a project. I like to play jazz for them, often against their wishes, but I want to open their minds up a bit. I keep it quiet in the background.
Their listening to ...
John Coltrane Quartet
Ballads
with Mcoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones.
Man o man, this is great album!
The kids want me to play rap or the current pop/rock they're listenig to. I'm willing to be open minded, but NOT in my lab! I also believe, the more good jazz we can expose people to, even on a subliminal level, the better off they'll be.
After, this CD plays out, I'm putting the Giant Steps CD on.
I'm doing some heavy jams over the next two weeks, and I'm going to call some Coltrane tunes. I've got to review!
Peace, all!
Nick
