"POETRY, PASSION AND SONG"
THE MUSIC ISSUE
 |
| Painting by Berthold Faust, in honour of Charlie Parker |
(August 29, 1920 – March 12, 1955)
"Music
is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't
live it, it won't come out your horn. They teach you there's a boundary
line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art."~Charlie Parker
A few hours after Parker's passing "Bird Lives" began appearing as graffiti in New York City subways supposedly written by Ted Joans, a Beat Generation poet whose work drew from the African-American oral tradition and blended black consciousness with avant-garde jazz rhythm.
DB Cox-our own master blue's musician, friend, and bad-ass poet-has written a poetic tribute to Charlie Parker and some of the other "legendaries" who are no longer with us but are most certainly still howlin' from the heavens. Be sure to see the featured post in the left-hand column.

This music edition was inspired by Parker's truth--there is no boundary line to art. So turn off the TV, shut down the noise, and enjoy the unique blend of poetry, music, photography, stories, essays, and art embedded in this issue of IVJ. With all the major talent included-It's sure to become a classic!
