Footprints

<p>Braiding the personal and historic the philosophic and scientific <em>Footprints</em> by Richard Jackson takes us from conflicts in places like Ukraine Sudan Gaza Ethiopia and the American south to a kind of transcendent and redemptive vision. Guiding it all is a kind of jazz improvisation that follows the lead of musicians like Ben Webster and Wayne Shorter and that gathers fragments into an inclusiveness and wholeness that Tomaž Šalamun called a vulnerable voice that blossoms and transforms us. </p>
