Quand le passé n'éclaire plus l'avenir, l'esprit marche dans les ténèbres.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Même message sous une autre forme :
Ceux qui ne savent pas se rappeler du passé sont condamnés à le répéter

Nala Sinephro - recommended listen
Caribbean-Belgian composer, producer and musician Nala Sinephro fuses meditative sounds, jazz sensibilities, folk and field recordings. Her musical practice is rooted in the study of frequency and geometry and guided by the premise that sound moves matter.

Jazz at Berlin Philarmonic XI : The Last Call by Philip Catherine and Larry Coryell
New album from Philip Catherine and Larry Coryell published on 19/02/2021.
Recorded live in Berlin in 2017, this is the last live appearance of Larry who passed away a few weeks later. The album starts with four tunes with just guitar duos, Catherine on electric guitar, Coryell with an acoustic instrument. The complicity is impressive, each with his own style. Then comes a crescendo with each time an extra musician. The finale, “On Green Dolphin Street” is played by a quintet comprising trumpeter Paolo Fresu, pianist Jan Lundgren and bassist Lars Danielsson. “creative compatibility, enthusiasm and mutual understanding” at it’s best.
