about
"This music is meant to provide respite for folks who work hard every day and need an opportunity to slow down and be reacquainted with that certain "something" which eludes most of us in the midst of the whirlwind which is modern life. I can't put a name to what that "something" is, but if this music hits its mark, perhaps you will know what to call it."
For Locke, the music on Lay Down Your Heart represents as much a journey through his past as it marks another move toward the future. "Working on this recording brought me back to my earliest days of music-making in Rochester, NY at the F&S Lounge, Jenks n' Jones, and The Peoples' Club, where the music was part of the social fabric, and the audience and musicians were definitely involved in a two-way conversation. It taught me that jazz is, and should always be, People Music."
