Shifting Sands... and Brazil Wed @ St Julien

I am grateful and so happy each time I get involved in a creative project with relevance. Thurs night's Shifting Sands was one of those times. The performers were all inspired and touched by the subject and the setting. And I think everyone else was, too.

Creator of the show, Scott Kinnamon , is a delightful and intensely creative individual, responsible for the series "The Lab at Belmont" which combined creative media and brought together artists in unusual and inspired contexts. Thursday night, in Shifting Sands, Scott set the mood, by performing the musical opening with us, then led the way in a series of 9 readers who gave selections from the book. They ranged from CO Speaker of the House Terrance Carroll to three high school students from Denver School of the Arts.

Eric Moon and I created musical interludes and a sonic backdrop for the readings. Working with Eric is a joy. He always brings a high level of integrity and sensitivity to creating in the moment.

Looking ahead, Wed the 28th of October is Brazil night @ St Julien, 6:30-9:00.
Dexter Payne Quartet featuring Bill Kopper, Francisco Marques, Raoul Rossiter. Choro, samba, bossa, baiao - come listen and dance to Brasilian roots!
