Hey Reid...

Hello,

I have been a fan of Jazz since my back injury in 86 which gave me nothing but time (and pain) for three months to discover the soothing and healing qualities of jazz. Prior to my opening up to cool jazz era, (columbia era), I was basically a fusion enthusiast - John Mayall to Yes through Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke and Larry Coryell to name a few. Then I was floored by Coltrane and My Favorite Things - and have never quite recovered since. It was worth 3 months of pain and contraverted insurance claims to get that one track into my life.

The next time I had an equivalent breakthrough was last week when I heard your "Physical Cities" edit for the first time. That was smashing in every sense of the word. What a phenomenal composition that is. Please let us have some more. I am already feeling withdrawal symptoms. You guys rule in your realm. Please try to ignore the political Zeitgeist down here, and make a visit to East Tennessee happen. Thank you just doesn't quite cover it. Your creations are mind-blowing and life-changing. My ex-wife was a personal friend of John Lee Hooker, and I had several occasions to speak with the (late) master himself. I loved the "Healer". You guys are healers. Music was starting to level out for me until I discovered your absolutely brilliant break-through energy. Ahhhhhh - I needed that!
