So this week, America ends its participation in this contrivance called Daylight Savings Time. When I was a child, I used to ask my parents why we had to turn the clocks back or ahead. Neither parent had an acceptable answer (or at least an answer that was acceptable to me), so I kept asking "Why?" And you know how children can get into that cycle of asking why, partly from genuine curiosity, partly from the dastardly desire to see you flustered at their (successful) attempts to establish you don't know all.In my house, these conversations typically used to end with the sharp verbal rebuke of "Enough!!", a kiss on the forehead, and a command to go to sleep.But if you think about it, who are we to manipulate something so elemental as time? Just the thought of it seems alarmingly pompous.This is a roundabout way of sliding into this divine cover of Wayne Shorter's "Footprints" as performed by Michel Camilo and Giovanni Hidalgo. Both artists likely are in my "Artists You Should Know" list, for both among the finest on their respective instruments (piano for Camilo, congas and percussion for Hidalgo).Camilo’s melodic interpretation of Shorter’s waltz rhythm is full of life, while Hidalgo’s multitimbral work on congas adds both rhythm and a melody on top of which Camilo can root, and then layer, the song’s nuanced chords. Together, the pair produce a masterful performance. I'm unsure why, but every time I hear this rendition, I always think of time: passing time, suspending time, the evils of wasting time, the finite and endless nature of time. When I had the pleasure of playing a set on a day like this (and I have), I'd always end the program with something like this.P&L,Soultronica
