Been down so long - Sting/Kenny Kirkland/Daryll Jones/Omar Hakim/Branford Marsalis

extraordinary pick-up band, formed in 1985 in Paris for the recording of a live album and a documentary.
Sting playing with young jazz legends Daryll Jones on bass, Omar Hakim on drums, Branford Marsalis on saxophone, and a forever young Kenny Kirkland on piano, Dolette MacDonald and Janice Pendarvis on Backing Vocals.
Michael Apted made a must see documentary on this formation

Ive always loved this song by Sting and the boys. Miss u Kenny Kirkland. Great piano solo. I just love anything Sting does. Hes amazing and so talented, playing many different instruments. Ive loved him, his voice and his work, his accent since 1983 and still in love w/him. Trudie is one lucky woman. Happy new year and thaks for sharing this one. 1-10-22

This music reaffirms that there is beauty in life. Hang in there. This music raises our spirits as conscious beings in the world. I WILL make a positive contribution to this life whatever my job. We can all express ourselves as a Sting, Marsalis, Kirkland, Jones or Hakim..... LOL
