Into the Quiet Night

The Yellowjackets is a jazz fusion band I’ve admired for many years. Most of their music is instrumental. A couple favorites of mine include Wildlife and Red Sea both viewable on utube. All Is Quiet is one of their few tunes with vocals.

All Is Quiet from their Club Nocturne CD 1998
Lyrics: Kurt Elling Music: Bob Mintzer

Meet me in a shadow land of quiet
Speak to me of losing, but speak low to me in a whisper
Whispers open magical doors if you let them -
opening to hidden rooms full of colors in shades like
Marc Chagall

These days everybody speaks of love so loud
They shout, as if love were something owed to them
Like something they can order around
Like something that comes when called

Let your boy fall away in quiet
Knowing love grows over time -
Like a tree in a forest

Your face is as lovely as sleep, faint with stillness
I can smell the summer, there, in your tangled hair
It holds me in a dream

The reverie of silence here, in the hidden constellation
Joining the twilight sky like starry bright
We're soaring over everything, like birds in flight
Into the quiet night

It's allowed for all is quiet now
