My reflections I

...Something to think about and possibly discuss

Dear Fellow Musicians! As you know from my previous "articles", one reason I go to concerts (besides listening to music, of course) is to COUNT how many "black music lovers" ARE in the AUDIENCE! Why? Because it’s a "SHOCK"!!! We have so many wonderful "African-American" Musicians, yet the audience is WHITE as in GREENLAND! To prove my point: We went to a concert by a Magnificent trumpeter from New Orleans, TERENCE BLANCHARD: Trumpet, B. Leader, Arranger, Composer; Brice Winston, Tenor Sax; Fabian Almazan, Piano; Kendrick Scott, Drums; Michael Olatuja, Bass! A wonderful concert! A Sensational performance, not only the Leader, but the entire team, simply Top World Class Virtuosos! The repertoire included "the roots of New Orleans Jazz, through contemporary compositions! A tremendous joy for the "EAR and the SPIRIT"! Some unforgettable moments, and an experience! Thank you, Terence! And the audience: WHITE, white, whit…, whi…, wh…, w…! European and a few Asian-origin listeners! The next concert! from Brazil: Piano & Vocals, Arranger, Composer; ELIANE ELIASMarc Johnson, Bass; Rubens de La Corte, Guitar; Rafael Barata, drums! The repertoire: American and Brazilian Jazz! A Top Class performance! The audience: White, whit…, whi… and a few Asians in the audience! Next Concert: The Brazilian Pop & Jazz Music Star: MILTON NASCIMENTO, Vocals, Guitar, plays with his Quintet (the names of musicians weren’t provided)! The repertoire: Brazilian and American Jazz & Pop! Some great songs, and very intriguing; harked back to the work of slaves on plantations! Also a Top World Class performance! The audience? White...Whit...Whi… + a few people from Asia! We „took in” our last concert at the "CITY WINERY"! The 60th birthday of Natalie Cole (daughter of the famous Cole)! An unforgettable experience! Wonderful music, especially "Unforgettable", performed in a duet with Nat King Cole (thanks to modern electronics)! A Top Class performance! A few more colored people came to the concert (at the winery), around 1/3 of the audience! I’m ending this chapter with a question. Will I (or we) ever discover the TRUTH as to why there are no blacks in the audience (and if there are, there’s not very many of them) at New York concert halls?
