Kindling - by Laura Cole
(for Will McGiven)
Sparks; embedded.
Flaming torches
Reeds brushing, lit by sun-dusk
Shedding bark and shredded tusks,
Ground.
The earth rises up
It will be heard again
The moisture steeping,
Nourished.
Caverns of secret deserts
Moon within moons
A boundless entity,
Lived.
Mountain of timbers
The wood of memory
A metal of transition,
Fired.
Sparks; embedded.
Dreaming of tides, salted breath
Quenching words
Thirst and hunger,
Satisfied.
Incantations of truth
Wire upon a string
Before death,
Watered.
This is
This is
This is,
Thistled.
Hands reaching
Skin on skin
Voice on voice,
Nestled.
Sparks; embedded.
Peopled with intimacy
Coat hooks of grace
What should we burn,
Extinguished.
Through-glow
After-math
Hard-graft,
Kindred.
Prayer mantis
What lies beneath?
Pedal flower,
Shaped.
A woman
A piano
A moment,
Recorded.
Sparks; embedded.
Echoes of former being
Tenderly held
Waves against the hull,
Anchored.
Stoking
Revoking
Provoking,
Winded.
Maelstrom, strimmed
A conversation started
Questions,
Questioned.
Kings and Queens
And all in between
Moving squares,
Sequestered.
Sparks; embedded.
For this is love
For this is hope
For this is,
Enveloped.
Journeys of fire
Where do we begin
And where do we end,
Storied.
And the moon
And the sun
And the night,
Starred.
Kindling
Kindling
Kindling,
Kindled.
And I am dancing.
I will always dance.
Keep dancing...
Sparks; embedded.

Mike Osborne was a very special musician...I remember him as quietly intense and thoughtful and not a seeker of the limelight...I must have seen him play dozens of times in many small venues from ‘68 to ‘75 or so...I loved his playing...a high end technician but full of heart as well as head...I still listen to his music a lot on the original vinyl and i’m so pleased this gig has surfaced. Hugh respect to Jazz In Britain for their whole initiative...you have made an old man very happy...

This is a rare treat. The London Jazz Scene of the 60s, 70s was extraordinary. An era of great charts, superb players and increasing innovation. This exudes a confidence and a scene reaching for its own unique voice.
