ABOUT ALBEDO JAZZ
How much light can be reflected? All of it? How sure is the figure -
how 'true' the reflectivity - of a mirror? How true can an artist be,
to what they really hear? What is the true purpose of creating and
performing music? The age-old argument of idealogies versus making
money comes into play here. It may be said that the 'pure' artist
serves the music (song, lyrics, groove, solo note choices, etc.),
whereas the secular working musician's gotta do whatever to pay the bills - or
sing lot's of blues! Play to the crowds...
In real life, there are balances, but in the case of
Albedo, we are not trying to 'entertain'. On the contrary, we are
wanting to worship in Spirit and in Truth - the beauty
of each note choice, that energy level in the groove, the chord
structure such that the soul is moved as the progression moves, that
moment of insight when the music is inspirational and the listener is
somehow translated to the throneroom with the Father...these are
the reasons of being for Albedo. If music is an auditory analogue to
light in the EM spectrum, then Albedo exists to reflect as much pure
light as is received at the moment of the music. I hope, as the group
founder, and the different artists comprising Albedo at different times
surely hope, that you receive that unadulterated light, and let it
illuminate your soul.
Wishing true PEACE, from the Prince Of Peace, to all who listen...
Sincerely,
Thomas D. Curtner
