"With guitarist Charles Patty leading an instrumental quintet in support, poet IRIS LORD weaves original verses around cool acoustic jazz that simmers lightly . . . guaranteed to leave the listener craving more." July 2000 -LA Jazz Scene- by Jim Santella
REVIEW "With guitarist Charles Patty leading an instrumental quintet in support, poet IRIS LORD weaves original verses around cool acoustic jazz that simmers lightly. Not satisfied with a beat generation atmosphere, Lord adds chamber jazz, the blues, and overdubs of her spoken word monologues to the mix. Including the talents of violinist Bill Clifford, cellist Marston Smith, bassist Wolfgang Melz and drummer Alex Cline, she's designed a program that appeals to all generations. Lord's searing, emotional spoken word message remains the focus throughout, while a variety of instrumental interludes adds depth. The title track offers both Spanish guitar and gypsy violin in support of Lord's overdubbed spoken tracks. Wailing and pleading, she asks the question "Do I Belong Somewhere" which takes the listener on a trip of introspection Similarly, "Requiem" and blues ballads "Exorcism", "Why'd Ya Do It", and "Investigate" take the listener on a trip of sadness, melancholia, and diffused laments. Lord's piano playing is quite a surprise. In the spirit of Monk, she hammers at the keys and provides a unique dissonant sound. It's "out there" piano work, particularly evident atop the tango rhythms of "I Forgot To Tell You", which includes finely articulated drum set coloring. William Shatner pokes fun of the beat generation in his latest t.v. ads, but performed poetry of this nature has been around for centuries and will always give the listener ample food for thought. The album, just over a half-hour in length, is guaranteed to leave the listener craving more." July 2000 -LA Jazz Scene- by Jim Santella

was sent in 2000 a.d. when it was online published at a british online
graffiti.org domain of a graffiti painting in & at NYC manhattan's
central park . On that day a sighting of a graffiti that to me appeared as
if a soul had been seared onto the wall in the artists expression
in graffiti motivated me to shoot it and capture the image with my camera.

"Many people have traveled this world with different dreams, purposes and aspirations. Many are masters, teachers, inventors and followers. They were all sent by the creator of the universe to achieve one just course; “global peace and unification.” But this course cannot be achieved without unconditional love, which possesses the magical powers of the Divine for transformation. When the human race embraces love unconditional, then the lost will be found, the naked will be clothed, the hungry will be fed, the bombs will be destroyed and there will be peace and unity which will make us all to speak one language, “LOVE”. Let love abide" ~ Philip Brown

CROWNLESS QUEEN They deprived her of her title obscuring her with a fake name She crossed the history like a crownless Queen discredited with insulting epithets Offended and forgotten. But for Her has been rebuilt a crown with Moon's pearls the pearls will enlighten her hiding place and the light will be so bright That it won't be possible any more to hurt her.
REGINA SENZA CORONA La privarono del suo titolo oscurandola con un falso nome Attraversò la storia come una Regina senza corona screditata con appellativi ingiuriosi offesa e dimenticata. Ma è stata ricostruita per Lei una corona con perle di Luna le perle illumineranno il suo nascondiglio e la luce sarà così brillante che non sarà più possibile farle del male
