Steve Dalachinsky - A Power Stronger Than Itself
A Power Stronger Than Itself
(Muhal Richard Abrams, Leo Smith, George Lewis @ the Community Church of New York – 5/9/08)
fount of fonts / of sound
singing the living tradition
plunger of urgencies mute-speaking in my head
all in the uncommon star song
birds, beasts, weeds in marvelous bloom
insect bent into curtains of light
survived the harsh elements for the long haul
resisted
the individual respected & allowed freedom
response & responsibility / caring-ness
no single strain into the groove
yet a commonality & the ability to follow
the formless in all its various shapes
divisive vicious city you make your own aesthetic
your own freedom & sounds / create your own flow chart
open forms - race cards
the bigger picture is not a commodity
not a business or institution
“COD IS” not “THE FISH THAT CHANGED THE WORLD”
singles strains gathering
size shape altitudes - flat notes
ghost notes
wealth awe bursting with fresh meaning
awake within the yawning of the dark park
asleep for the nite without fear
single voiced immediacy – slow rumblings
elongated articulations – yes explosions
explosivenesses echoing each other
always embodying deep joy deeper boundlessness
w/in the boundaries
new models life beauty
ungracious justice of praise
daily souls of self – illumined
fashions of no-terror believably plundering sources of wisdom
are wisdom mindground disp(a)laced
silence imported thrown world SOUND
prophetic NOWS - replanting the SEED – commerce science
apprehended AWES – ahhhhs – figuring fragrance
turning the heartmind solution
lifting virtuosity from its unnecessary
sophisticated thro(w)ne & suddenly the sun dissolves
somewhere in this hampered nite of persistent storms
workshopped kitchen passions
the marching few
& unnumbered dead (women children- we)
robber crows embattled sweet changeful
combs of honey (SOUND)
labors done
fruits heaped high - life of life of life
turning wheel of sustained flutters
closing now this
hymnal of well bent traditional
song.
