"Music begins where words cease.What happens when music ceases?
Silence" Julian Barnes
The sacred is the interference of the uncreated in the created,
of the eternal in time,of the infinite in space,of the
supraformal in forms;it is the mysterious introduction
into one realm of existence of a presence which in reality
contains and transcends that realm and could cause it to
burst asunder in a sort of divine explosion.The sacred is
the incommensurable,the trascendent,hidden within a
fragile form belonging to this world;it has its own
precise rules,its terrible aspects and its merciful action;
moreover,any violation of the sacred,even in art,has
incalculable repercussions.
Intrinsically the sacred is inviolable,and so much so that any
attempted violation recoils on the head of the violator.
Frithjof Schuon

Good Morning from Paris,
It has been a great pleasure to meet you yesterday evening at (on?) the Sunside.
I am hoping to come again tonight, if family allows it... Nevertheless, if by ny chance you get this email while you stay here, I can propose you to visit Paris (I am leaving in Montmartre, not far away from your place). I can also help you find a Selmer dealer or any relevant music store today (before 7 pm). We can also consider a Paris tour tomorrow Sunday, if you prefer. You tell me.
My mobile (SMS welcomed!): +33 6 07 69 01 50
Look forward to reading/hearing from you soon,
Antoine (the shaved guy - we met in NYC Jazz Standard in April as well)

Dear Ambrose,
Prelude is one of the freshest things i have heard in a long time. Beautiful compositions and great playing by you and the whole ensemble. Hope you are able to bring your music to Denver.
thank you, ron

Enjoyed my evening with you tonight (05/16/08.) Unfortunately, the venue, might have been a bit annoying to you with all the background talking. It's not like playing at Yoshi's. ( By the way, the new Yoshi's in SF is a great new club.) I think the last half hour everyone left was really listening!!!
Thank you.

Hey son love your music keep up the good work.

Ambrose,
Just received your cd last week from CDbaby. My first listen was one of complete enjoyment. I especially like your explanation and motivation behind the tracks.
First heard you on Walter Smith's cd, so I was anticipating your own thing.
Best wishes man and I will continue to enjoy Prelude.

Derek Bullock
I really enjoy your sound. You have great technique with a nice feel for the music around you. I imagine you are trying to get a Cd out by now. It will definitely become apart of my collection as soon as it drops. Make sure you send some Cds this way to Houston,Tx...They are not as consious about alot of the artists out your way. Luckily i read DownBeat Magazines to keep up with what's current on the scene...Peace

Just wanted to congratulate you for winning the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Competition. I was at the Kodak theater (in the back - floor) when you earned your win. I was amazed. I went because I am a long time Hancock fan. You were a great surprise.
