The Feel Trio
by Fred Moten

Description
Poetry. African American Studies. Music. California Interest. THE FEEL TRIO is Cecil Taylor, Tony Oxley and William Parker. Or is it that THE FEEL TRIO are Cecil Taylor, Tony Oxley and William Parker? See, that's the amazing problem and chance, right there! In the wake and air and light of THE FEEL TRIO, what it bears and what propels them, which is everything in particular, THE FEEL TRIO tries to put some things together. Alabama runs through those things like nobody's business. I kept show more trying to visit the uncounted space James Brown forms around the one. To celebrate the varieties of black devotion. But coalition can't be too easy; it's in our nature not to come naturally lyrically, beautifully violently. The organizing principles, in our extramusical tailor's retrofit of fitting, sharp as a tack from the tone worlds of east by southeast of Sheffield, the Bronx's compassionate project/s and fly, flaired, flared Corona: listen to everything, relax the shape, approach with love, be worthy of a lovely t! ***National Book Award Finalist, 2014 show lessTags

I’m in a bad mood about
everybody’s bad mood, their
political depression, whatever.
and they’re so god damn
squeamish about it—they
can’t even come close to
saying how fucked up it is,
with their anempathic
numbers, but they can say
that. they so attached
to it but they can say that.
o, say what they cannot can!
to say there’s no exit from
compromised ordinariness
is an ordinary compromise,
as if there’s more danger in the
idea of flight than in staying
home, as if laying back where
you stay precludes flying, as if
the symposium was theirs alone.
