Is jazz a rhythm, or is it a vibration?

Most African Americans, especially the men and women from my generation, would accept the nationalist gambit that says only European Americans can be racists, which is an interesting gambit.

My work has been marginalized as far as the jazz-business complex is concerned, or the contemporary-music complex.

I would find myself backing away from all of the 'isms,' all of the communities. I have always been able to be misused by every community But that is OK. I would rather be misused than neglected.

Is jazz a rhythm, or is it a vibration?

I'm seeking to have an art that is engaged as a way for saying, 'Hurray for unity.

The word music is a convenient way to talk about what I'm interested in, but actually, in some ways, it's a limitation.
