Episode 3 is finally here and it's all about our recent jazz soundtrack release, Low Down. Listen in on a conversation between Flea (co-producer & co-star of the Low Down film) and author Amy-Jo Albany (whose memoir about growing up with her dad, legendary jazz pianist Joe Albany, sparked the film). They talk about their shared experiences growing up with drug-addicted jazz musician fathers in the Los Angeles of the 60s & 70s. They also talk about hitchhiking, that one time Flea chased Amy-Jo around a supermarket, and the strange relationship between pain and beauty. We've included many musical interludes of Joe Albany's enchanting ivory-tickling, and Amy-Jo reads us a few passages from her brilliant book: Low Down: Junk, Jazz & Other Fairy Tales From Childhood. Have a listen to episode 3 right here on iTunes!

Translation Summary:
I love you just as you are; you are a heart’s delight. 

Me encanta como tú eres
Me encanta tu corazón
Me encanta como sonríes
¡Y más me encanta como me siento yo!
 
El tiempo que estoy contigo
Las veces que te oigo yo
Son para mí una delicia,
Delicia del corazón.
 
Si yo me hago de sueños
En un mágico silencio
Al compás de mis latidos
Serás música, serás canción
 
Por eso es que yo pienso
Que mientras sueñe contigo
El paraíso adivino
Y cada día es una bendición. 
 
 
Just as You Are
 
I love you as you are
I love your heart
I love how you smile
And more enchanting is how I feel.
 
The time I spend with you
The times that I hear you
Are for me a delight,
A heart's delight.
 
When I give myself to dreams,
In a magical silence
To the rhythm of my heartbeats
You'll be music, you'll be a song
 
So that's why I think
That as long as I dream of you
I imagine Paradise
And every day is a blessing.
And dreaming of you, every day becomes a blessing.

Como Tu Eres

A “miramar” is a place from which you can see the ocean. The bolero group, Miramar, chose this word as their name to evoke a place of peace, reflection and solace for a broken heart. Even the bolero, a romantic music born in Cuba in the 1800’s, might have been conceived by the seaside. In the 50’s and 60’s it became the quintessential musical expression of romance in Latin America. It is this era of the music from which Miramar draws their inspiration. “Urgencia”, or “urgency”, tells of the desperation a heart feels when it is swept away by romance, but risks all for fear of not having another chance at love. The flip, “Salida” means “a way out.” It is a song about the surrender that comes after trying to break free from the darkest of places, of endless frustration and sadness. The lyrics allude, but never tell. Produced by Giancarlo Luiggi & Victor Axelrod.
