Jazz: Hovory T: Od Milesa Davisa po Toma Harrella Poviedka: V. Rozenbergová: Absolventský Recenzie CD „Ak je prítomný strach už v tejto fáze, aké to bude, keď nasta- ne nejaká oveľa vážnejšia situácia?“ Zmienku o speváčke Eve Šuškovej začínam citátom, ktorý reflektuje spoločenské traumy a zároveň príznačne ilustruje dôležitý rozmer umelkynej osobnosti – chuť prejaviť sa aj vo veciach verejných. Umeleckú cestu Evy Šuškovej charakterizuje výber aj nevychodených trás, pre mnohých azda zaprášených, z ktorých ale prináša pre poslucháčov i odbornú komunitu zaujímavé plody. Robert Kolář ju v rozhovore zachytáva vo fáze, keď sa vrátila z dvoch „výletov“ do veľmi odlišných končín a všimla si ich aj porota tohtoročných cien Rádiohlavy. Jej pozornosťou najviac zatriasol projekt, v ktorom sa Eva Šušková predstavuje ako autorka. Zhudobnenie grafickej poézie Milana Adamčiaka je zásadným a premiérovým aktom, no nebolo to v žiadnom prípade len prvenstvo, ktoré priviedlo Evu Šuškovú k hlavnej cene. Zaujal jej spôsob uchopenia materiálu, v ktorom zúročuje svoje skúsenosti v teréne novej hudby, ale aj hravosť a spontánnosť prameniaca z jej pedagogických aktivít na poli elementárnej hudobnej výchovy. Adamčiakovské Konštelácie / Permutácie sú personifikáciou Šuškovej rozko- šatenej tvorivosti i odvahy, ktorú prejavuje naprieč životnými situáciami. Veľmi tešia aj dva ďalšie veľké rozhovory v piatom tohtoročnom čísle. Jana Zelenková kládla dôležité otázky organovej pedagogičke Emílii Dzemjanovej, ktorá sa tohto roku lúčila s učiteľskou profesiou. Okrem inšpiratívneho čítania pripomína tento rozhovor aj fakt, že z košického Konzervatória, práve vďaka Emílii Dzemjanovej, vzišlo najviac medzinárodne úspešných slovenských organistov posledných desaťročí – Monika Melcová, Bernadetta Schlichting Šuňavská, Tomáš Mihalik či Marek Vrábel. Aj o potrebe vytrvalosti a húževnatosti v ťažkých časoch hovorí iránsky skladateľ Idin Samimi Mofakham: „Navzdory obme- dzenej inštitucionálnej podpore sa čoraz viac iránskych hu- dobníkov presadzuje na medzinárodnej scéne – ako skladate- lia, interpreti alebo dirigenti. A to svedčí o odolnosti iránskej umeleckej komunity.“ Áno, spomeňme na frustrácie a stresy rôznych minulých časov a verme, že tvorivá miazga si vždy nájde svoju cestu von. Aj keď kôru jej stromu načas opáskujú znefunkčnené umelecké fondy či barbarské zásahy do kultúrnych inštitúcií. K próze nášho Hudobného života, žiaľ, patrí aj neustále sa vyrovnávanie s časových sklzom, ktorý nám začiatkom roka spôsobilo zavedenie zle pripraveného celoštátneho finančno-administratívneho systému. Okrem meškania vo vydávaní sme dlhodobo bojovali aj s nemožnosťou predávať tlačenú verziu časopisu. Verím, že tento deficit vyrovnávala internetová verzia Hudobného života, ktorú neustále vylepšujeme a napĺňame aj obsahom, ktorý sa nedostane do tlačeného časopisu. Ďakujeme za pochopenie a vernosť... Andrea Serečinová

From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart comes a story of family, romance, and finding a place to call home. Brad Friessen knows he has to sell the ranch, but not everyone is on board with his decision or open to a new beginning. He has a plan: Find a nice place with some land where he can retire—but for his children, life has suddenly become much more complicated. Katy and Steven have called the ranch home and aren’t inclined to see the adventure in their upcoming move. While Emily, Jack and Trevor, and Fletcher are somewhat open to the possibilities, what Brad doesn’t know is that Katy and Steven had a plan, too. The life they’ve always wanted is the kind of life Brad and Emily have, with the ranch, the land, and eventually more children.
