you are one of one

a draft recorded at Sparkle Studios - Paris, France

lonely but not when you hold me
your beauty weighs on me
this feeling's too good
lovely can't believe you love me
your warm chest beats under me
this feeling's too good

honestly your lips would never lie to me
i can taste your love approaching me
this feeling's too good
lovely can't believe you love me
on a warm spring night you stunned me
this feeling's too good

PREORDER ALBUM
https://lautundlui.se/produkt/lullp009-afar-changing-rules/

Psychedelic Krautwave wrapped in analog warmth, raw guitar bursts, and machine-driven pulse, carried by a mesmerizing voice. Songs that stretch time, reject convenience, and crave the real. A romantic revolt against the daily noises that numb and distract – slow, honest, and widely aware. For those who still long to long and refuse to get comfortable. Changing Rules is the third studio album by Berlin-based duo AFAR – a sonic manifesto of presence, eruption, and resistance.

Portico Quartet - Knee - Deep In The North See

"Smith uses his magisterial instrumental voice, his inspirational leadership and his command of classical, jazz and blues forms to remind us of what has gone down and what's still happening."
– DownBeat’s 80 Coolest Things in Jazz Today

"A trumpeter and composer of penetrating insight."
– Nate Chinen, The New York Times 

Wadada Leo Smith – trumpet, director of the ensemble
Anthony Davis – piano
Ashley Walters – cello
John Lindberg – bass 
Pheeroan akLaff – drums 

With America’s National Parks, visionary composer and Wadada Leo Smith offers his latest epic collection, a suite inspired by the scenic splendor, historic legacy, and political controversies of the country’s public landscapes. Writing for his newly expanded Golden Quintet, Smith crafts six extended works that explore, confront and question the preserved natural resources that are considered the most hallowed ground in the U.S. – and some that should be.

America’s National Parks was released shortly before Smith’s 75th birthday in December, arriving, coincidentally, in the midst of celebrations for the centennial of the National Park Service, which was created by an act of Congress on August 25, 1916. The spark for the project, however, came from two places: Smith’s own research into the National Park system, beginning with Yellowstone, the world’s first national park; and Ken Burns’ 12-hour documentary series The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.
trumpeter six-movement"The idea that Ken Burns explored in that documentary was that the grandeur of nature was like a religion or a cathedral," Smith says. "I reject that image because the natural phenomenon in creation, just like man and stars and light and water, is all one thing, just a diffusion of energy. My focus is on the spiritual and psychological dimensions of the idea of setting aside reserves for common property of the American citizens." 

His 28-page score for America’s National Parks was penned for his Golden Quintet, a fresh reconfiguration of the quartet that’s been a keystone of his expression for the last 16 years. Pianist Anthony Davis, bassist John Lindberg and drummer Pheeroan akLaff are joined by cellist Ashley Walters, affording the composer and bandleader new melodic and coloristic possibilities. "The cello as a lead voice with the trumpet is magnificent," Smith says, "but when you look at the possibilities for melodic formation with the trumpet, the cello, the piano and the bass, that’s paradise for a composer and for a performer." 

While these preserved landscapes offer the inspiration of powerful natural beauty, Smith’s always open-minded view of the world leads him to find that same inspiration wherever he is. "Every concrete house is from nature," he says. "Every plastic airplane that flies 300 people across the ocean comes out of nature. Every air conditioner conditions a natural piece of air. I think that the human being is constantly enfolded in organic nature and constructed nature, so I’m constantly inspired, inside the house or outside the house."

Wadada Leo Smith, "New Orleans" [Excerpt] from 'America's National Parks' (out 10.14.2016)

"Fat Old Sun" is a song by classic English rock band Pink Floyd. This song's 13:53 minutes long and live BBC September 1971 version now can be found on "The Early Years 1965–1972" box set [inside "1971 Reverber/ation"]. It has a long jam segment in the mid part.

Lyrics:
Oh my, oh my
I've been waiting for a reason to get drunk again
Could I, could I,
Could I fall asleep right next to you and feel the same?

I've been counting all my evenings
And exactly where they've gone - I don't know

Sometime, sometime
You could stitch me up and smoke me like I'm paper thin
Should I, should I,
Should I be so bold and kiss you like we're not quite friends?

I've been counting all my evenings
An abacus of moving on
While your eyes roll out their sockets
I'll be looking, where they've gone - I don't know

Would I, would I,
If I heard you laughing, sink into your arms?
