Great article this week, Mr. King. I was not really into Marion Brown before but you gave me the chance to check him out here. Appreciate it brother. Funny how things cross paths. I was just checking out Rick Beato’s video this week and noted the reference to Keith Jarrett in your post as a connection. Hope you enjoy it!

Fantastic, Shaun! I just watched it twice. Funny how read's Jarrett's note regarding the artist's expression at the beginning of that episode. Here is the quote on the back of Marion Brown's autobiography, Recollections:

When I play my music

I am not playing

about anything else at all.

I'm not putting down anything

that you could express in words.

I don't play about

religion

or the universe

ot love

or hate

or soul.

All of that might be there,

but not any specific one.

You can take from it only

what you bring to it.

I don't play words.

- Marion Brown

You've inspired me to out our canoe into the beautiful river that runs with Keith Jarrett's music.
