When children find someone soft and kind they smile and glow and say hello. When children play in their special magic way with time and space they travel any place. When children frown their world is up-side-down. Don't matter right or wrong something don't belong. When children create they don't hesitate. They don't see an end where their mind can bend. Children of all ages might just turn out to be sages.

about

An eight year old boy jumps into the family Volvo to spend a day with his dad. The car is loaded with instruments, saxophones and flutes. Their destination is Media Sound, a converted church on 57th Street in Manhattan that is about to open as a recording studio. For the next few hours, his father Arnie Lawrence plays improvised music with three friends and bandmates. Dickie, the five year old son of legendary bassist Richard Davis is there with his dad too. And while the quartet begins making music, Dickie and Ricky (Erik) run around the studio, picking up instruments, whistles and horns and contribute to the ambiance being created by their elders. The music begins with Arnie’s flute in an impromptu duet with the inventive piano of Dick Hyman. the voices of the children wander in and out. Davis’ countenance on bass joins the conversation, and then the tabla and percussion of Ed Shaugnessey. The music is entirely improvised and unfolds as a suite entitled “Inside An Hourglass”. Recorded in one day, and released on Herbie Mann’s Embryo label, the music has so many chapters, twists and turns. The year is 1969, the Summer of Love.

Nearly fifty years later Erik Lawrence is a saxophonist, flutist, following his own path but strongly influenced by the icon his father became during his life. He flew to Vancouver, Canada at the urging of his dear friend Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, an exploratory vocalist, composer, improviser and arranger, who was a protégé of Arnie’s in her youth in Jerusalem. Their idea, to recreate the setting with her children, twins Ma’or and Yasmin and baby Maia, providing the role of children of young ages; To celebrate the listening that children of all ages can participate in; To break down the wall between being “musician” and “parent” and to incorporate the sounds of life in the art of music making.

Joined by their close mutual friend and collaborator, pianist Anat Fort, they entered a recording studio with very little planned but to make sure there were enough microphones open. The three adults in the room shed their egos, embraced their mutual admiration and freed their minds for the unknown. A few poems were extracted, including one written by Arnie in the 1970’s, with the refrain, “Children of all ages just might turn out to be sages.”

Like the original recording fifty years prior, all the music was improvised, no ideas were discussed. Spontaneous music, played by children, children of children, children with children and intended for children of all ages.
