"Branford Marsalis: The Problem With Jazz"

I think you guys should check this out! I really enjoyed this article as it certainly outlines the views of a musician from a very "normal" layman point of view, but from a very professional musician.
Thank you Seattle News Weekly, Thank you Branford Marsalis!

Music that moves

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5VWf84r33U&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Music has a way of moving our spirits. It is an expression that put us in a mood which is normally the composer's/ arranger's intent. Good music can make us cry, laugh, sleep, dance, sing, without even thinking about who is watching and without feeling any guilt or shame towards expressing one's self.

I have been a fan of the PianoGuys to about 2 years and they always bring great, expressive, beautiful music. Upon rising today and experiencing this video inspired me to continue writing music, to continue performing beautiful music to inspire the world and to send a message that there is hope. Life is beautiful, love is beautiful and music has a way of combining the two and put souls and minds at ease to experiencing something so great. It amalgamates the aesthetics of sound, mood and even visual to create an experience so heart warming, so moving that a tear must be shed, or a foot must tap.

Musicians of the world; keep on writing, keep on performing. Continue to bless hearts with your beautiful music and expression.
Listeners of the world; keep on listening, appreciate the role of our musicians and the work they do to put us at ease, make us happy and to keep us human.

Have a great day everyone!
Remember life is beautiful and so is love. The combination of bought is what the world needs. Thank you god for providing so a wonderful rest place for my brothers and sisters of the world.
