These are times that try men’s and women’s souls….and I wish they’d try someone else’s. However, things change, especially if people work together to bring it about.
So, thanks to jkkFL’s great suggestion, this week’s theme is about change and transformation. Whether it’s a change of heart or a change of the times, a transformation of one’s life or music, share the music that speaks to you about change.
Anything Goes – Cole Porter
The Times They Are a’ Changin’ – Bob Dylan
Changes – David Bowie
Brand New Day – Sting
Getting Better – The Beatles

by Perpetuum Jazzile, performed live at Vokal Xtravaganzza 2008 (October 2008) – arranger Tomaž Kozlevčar.
98 years ago, this music was such a change that it caused riots in the streets of Paris.

The Joffrey Ballet’s recreation of the 1913 Nijinsky choreography of Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps.

In Stravinsky’s autobiography, he admitted that Nijinsky was a brilliant dancer.. but a complete flake who had the IQ of a fencepost.
Hmmm, a one trick pony maybe.
That one talent of dance may have consumed all the rest.
A savant, to be sure.
