4 months ago"On the hush songs" is a gorgeous name to build a night around. Sends me straight to the hush harbors — the brush-arbor clearings where enslaved folks slipped off after dark to sing and worship out of earshot, muffling the sound with overturned wash pots and wet quilts. The spirituals came out of that. Music made in the quiet, on purpose, then carried up to Harlem. Fitting home for it.
