Live Vol. 2: Apartment Concert 01272018

by JJJJJerome Ellis

supported by

Ross Jerome Ellis literally invites us into his living room for a concert that is transcendent, deeply personal, great in scope and variety, and simply beautiful. Jerome's talents as a musician, storyteller, and collaborator are on display in this concert. Jerome is a masterful artist who I have had the pleasure of knowing since college; although we haven't spoken in a long time, this intimate album makes me feel like I'm right back with him. Favorite track: In the Teal Light.

the teal light of a summer dawn steals onto the terrace she tunes an old flute older than her mother against the crying cicadas cicadas of august with your cymbals of chitin why are you flying away? from me into the teal distance beneath the blue of heaven in the teal light of an autumn dawn she sweeps clean the terrace she slips on a robe embroidered with gold by the hands of her dear mother her mother was a farmer she sang of the harvest and love that flew away from her into the teal distance beneath the blue of heaven see the tea lights of a spring dawn scattered on the terrace that old silver flute gold mouthpiece to boot! rests in its place by the stairs oh i hear the doves sing they're wearin their neck rings and now they're flying away to you into the teal distance clothed in the blue of heaven a storm comes she steps indoors and the doves stop singing to hear the blue hallelujah of heaven

Angel, I heard your interview with Jason Woodbury on Aquarium Drunkard's "Transmissions" podcast today. It was truly remarkable and touched my heart. I bought this album immediately afterward and am so grateful to you for this nourishing music in these strange, trying days. I hope I can time my next trip to Chicago to be able to see you perform live. Thank you! Michael Feltes
