Every Man, Woman, and Child is a
musical presentation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This year,
Spiraling Music has released a dozen new improvisations on the original ballad,
which was the first grassroots expression of the UDHR ever performed for the UN
(1987). More recently, the chant version won a Global Peace Song Award in 2016.
So, with the beginning of this
three-part suite, I am thinking, stress causes disease and kills and music is
the ultimate healer and connector to our higher power and higher self. I do not
doubt that today. The connection I have with these wonderful music makers is a
gift and I treasure it every time I sit down to listen and write my words.
This is a collaborative effort
with Merrill Collins and David "Vito" Gregoli producing together at
his studio. The featured vocalist is Kimberly Haynes with Laura Halladay on
flutes and Maksim Velichkin on cello. Merrill has worked with these talented
people extensively (Merrill’s Trio) and the chemistry is evident in the three
suites. Don’t be persuaded to believe that this is an EP or 3 quick tracks,
it’s actually 56 minutes in length and has been entered as a full album for the
62nd Grammys New Age category. You will hear flutes, wind chimes,
percussion, cello and more on this presentation.
These blessed individuals go from
strength to strength with all of the instruments and gorgeous vocalizations of Kimberly
Haynes on the “We The People” track. The mixture of instruments is musical divinity
taking shape before your eyes, ears, and spirit. It will envelop, caress and
stimulate you, all at the same time while creating your mediation bubble for
healing.
The Every Man, Woman, and Child Yoga Flow
Suite is a masterful performance with significant meaning for
a world of confusion and negativity that needs healing in every way. If we the
people heal, so will the world around us. Mother earth and its inhabitants have
hope and it is music like this that injects us with the spiritual energy that drives
us down the right roads to the recovery of humanity from shore to shore.
Thank you, Merrill and friends,
for helping us to see the light at the end of the road.
