Embarking on a Journey…

Written by: Edward Uken

I’m embarking on a journey. Today. I’m seeking answers to the riddle of love, it’s place in life, where it’s been, and where it’s going from the people who probably know it best. The soul scholars that write, play, sing, and live love daily. It is my goal to have the largest and most complete record of musicians thoughts on love online and otherwise, and in doing so hope to find love myself.

My original plan was lofty, ambitious, and wonderfully lacking in the realities of financing, logistics, and the like. To visit 26 cities in America, interviewing at least four musicians in each city, producing a series of 22 minute episodic television shows in high definition video. That is still where I hope to end up, immersed to the point where I am eating, sleeping, drinking, and expending every breath on it. A mighty pilgrimage of sorts, not to a shrine, or holy temple, but many wise spiritual sages on a journey of 8,000 miles.

“A journey of a thousand miles starts under one’s feet,” says Lao Tzu, so my journey begins right where I stand, or in this case, where I am sitting, in front of a computer in a 150 square foot apartment in the very center of Los Angeles. An old friend from high school, whom I more or less reunited with after many years of being out of contact, told me I had everything I needed to start. A series of cameras, lighting equipment, a microphone, computer with editing software, and an incredible distribution platform that has the added benefit of instant feedback: the internet. So here I go.

John Giovanni, a great jazz singer with the style and class of Frank Sinatra, along with the honest and brutally frank way of a kid from the Bronx had the most honest and heartfelt advice of anyone I’ve met so far. He told me not to be ashamed of the simple nature of my project, or it’s seeming lack of monetary potential, instead urging me to communicate to everyone I meet my love and enthusiasm for what I’m doing. I can’t wait to share more of his wisdom with the world.

I love you all.

Dear Eddie,

First, thank you for the wonderful comment you wrote on CoffeeHouseBlog.com. I’m sorry to say that I just found it today (10.17.08). I was floored that anyone had found my blog and liked it AND was kind enough to comment. That’s you. I think the Love Jazz project is a great idea. And looks good, too.

Second, your comment has now inspired me to get back to the blog after a year - took a full-time job with Apple - my first job working for someone in over 20 years. Weird.

What’s cool about what you’re doing - all of it - is that no one can stop you from doing it, pretty much. So?…

Best of fortune and God’s blessings to you!

Daniel
