“Scott LaFaro, The Short Life of a Master Bassist”
http://nepr.net/post/scott-lafaro-short-life-master-bassist#stream/0
“…In a December 29, 1960 letter addressed to his lover Gloria Gabriel,
the dancer to whom he dedicated “Gloria’s Step,”
Scott LaFaro wrote:
X
“One important thing is that I realize day by day
the true artist and musician is becoming
more and more meaningless in terms of public comprehension.
This brings about the situation of whether
I should spend these hours and months
developing what I seem to be able to foresee,
or should I dump it
and
get another job as an entertainer again.
My day consists of such a singular preoccupation
—the physicology of music.
I’m in the position of having nothing
you can put your finger on for sale.”

BEAUTIFUL + TRUE NORTH INTEGRITY

Once an artist barrels their art
down the mercantile waterfall,
the integrity
of their unrepeatable/unique/sacred vision is shattered.
Water FALLS.
X
WATERFALLS,
for artists,
are a metaphor of risk,
a willingness to trust the FLOW,
knowing the magnitude of the force is SACRED,
and
the FORTITUDE + COURAGE
to dive/soar/break
into a NEW river,
an unknown vision/frontier,
and
uncharted visions
is
REQUISITE!

COURAGE TO CREATE.

Artists versus entertainers.
