Loving Artistic Passion

Enough about risk taking, online marketing and networking and creative blocks.....for now. Phew. Write about taking a load off! YOU and me both.

It's Valentines Day.
A time to show and share artistic passion.... with music. C'mon, keeping this is a wholesome art post. The Artist: Keith Jarrett - solo. I had the incredible great fortune to see him perform again live two nights ago. Totally improvisational. Powerfully eerie and positively mesmerizing to watch and hear. More about that later.I am highlighting a much earlier version of SOTR on youtube to show a morsel of his expressive passion. He performed this during for his third and final encore that night:




I LOVE seeing artists of every medium living and performing their passion. Even more when they get to make a living at it! I love witnessing their process. I occasionally get green with envy.Watching Keith Jarrett was witnessing a genius the likes I had really not felt before.

In between one of his improvisational improvs, he digressed and entertainingly divulged to the hundreds in the audience his process: "Ya ever wonder I how I do this? It's not drugs." That's for sure.

Share your love and artistic passion this Valentine's Day. I just did.
