Of course I’d seen Mishka Adams before, when she was only so high, probably just a toddler in her prairie dress, a yaya trailing in her folks’ art gallery in Pinaglabanan, San Juan in the mid ’80s during one of the “Chromatext” shows.

Last week I remarked rather tentatively on FB: “After all that jazz, the real stuff — intimate, sweet, funny, hilarious, divine — was shared last Tuesday or was it Wednesday, dunno anymore, was soused, only remember Agnes, Cookie, Mishka singing, Pikong and Ria playing, and a good guitarist, and Yna the dancer, and Aya making eklat by refusing to play.

January’s been lovely in some ways, most especially weather-wise. And we had the luxury of the full moon in perigee on the 11th, the closest to earth it hovers, while Jupiter shines bright and distinct in the western sky, following up on uncommon planetary configurations over the past month.

For one Friday night at the Mandarin Oriental’s Captain’s Bar, one could be excused thinking one had been transported to Ronnie Scott’s in London or the Blue Note in New York City — both signature venues for the best in jazz music. The reason? Mishka Adams’ one night at the Mandarin, before flying back to London, where regular gigs and further education await her.

Jazz is foreign to the ears of most music-loving Pinoys. But if they only try to listen to the musical instruments in the background and the vocal improvisation of the artist, they will surely appreciate and love it.

The U.S. will always claim it as the purest American art form.

Over in Europe, progressive minds excitedly herald a new age in jazz, spurred on by a wave of young artists advocating an adventurous principle of sound clash. Others will continue to harp on jazz’s already marginal cultural status becoming even more marginal.

For me, jazz is both beautiful and otherworldly at the same time – like a jam session of seraphs. It is a musical genre that stresses improvisation, innovation and exploration. Like the aural philosophies of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. The gospel according to Bird, Lady Day and Satchmo. The heliocentric, harmolodic worlds of Sun Ra and Ornette Coleman.
