Reverence
2026 stock The sources of jazz are to be found in Africa, as any encyclopedia of music will tell you. The polyrhythms, syncopation and improvisation that are integral to jazz all stem from the musical traditions of Africa. These distinct aspects of African music travelled to the Americas with the slave-trade and, intersecting in New Orleans with European instrumentation and arrangement, created the foundations of a new sound. Through the twentieth century Africa continued its influence, as free…
Golden Rule
2026 stock ‘Music is not material, Music is Spiritual’. With this one line from what may be his earliest poem, Sun Ra sets before our minds what our ears and heart know to be true: music is a power, a force, and a mystery that can change our way of being, our way of knowing.

Quiet Earth
2026 stock Looking at the world in which we live, I was often haunted by feelings of powerlessness and disillusionment. How could it be, that the force of destruction seems to cast a shadow over the beauty and universal creativity of our interconnected race. How can a single human turn things around so that we live the dignified life we so much long for and also deserve?
Feeling small and insignificant really cannot change anything for the better, I understand that we need to find the change wit…
Muriel Grossmann Plays The Music Of McCoy Tyner And Grateful Dead
At first glance, the idea that McCoy Tyner and the Grateful Dead might share musical DNA seems like a stretch. One built frameworks to support Coltrane’s spiritual flights—rewriting the jazz harmony playbook while turning chords into flexible architecture. The others were a San Francisco circus of psychedelic chaos and Americana grooves, an improvising rock band whose mythology often overshadowed their musicianship. On the surface, Tyner and the Dead appear to come from different galaxies. But l…
