The International Jazz Day Global Concert is streaming live from Istanbul.
They've just started the speeches (the concert and the day are sponsored by UNESCO) and the music will begin shortly. EVERY country in the world has some kind of celebration of International Jazz Day. Enjoy! Click here for the link.
P.S. Duke Ellington's birthday was yesterday. Did you celebrate it?
Did you just say that? Or think that?
Hurry Up and Slow Down, an online retreat designed to fit into the daily lives of busy people, might be just the right thing at the right time for you. Have a look here.

Today,
behind the mourners in public places, the rescuers, the demonstrators,
the loud speakers, there are --always, still-- those who clean and
scrub, those who cannot get away from work, those caring for the very
young and the very old, those who cannot get easily from one place to
the other, and the artists, the writers, the poets, who need the quiet
solitude and the unsung space and time before the singing, and who, in
their own way, hold up and reweave the world. Remember them.
