Synchronized Chaos's Analysis: "Art itself repeatedly becomes a way of carrying experience through time. Frederick Schardt hears Lee Konitz playing jazz on a Broadway morning and discovers an image of the artist’s spiritual path: disciplined surrender to craft becoming an avenue toward freedom, grace, mercy, and charity. Elsewhere, Schardt celebrates the uninhibited voices of older people as the soul of a caring community."
