Abstract

Howling with the Wolves: Paul Winter's Earth Jazz fay McDaniel Prior to a cool summer's night in 1989, I had not often howled with wolves (at least not in public). Yet this night I was sitting with sixty or seventy others in the presence of a master howler, the jazz musi­ cian Paul Winter, and his invitation to "have a good howl" was irre­ sistible. After all, we were not in a concert hall in the middle of a city where animals are rarely seen (much less heard). Rather, we were at a rustic conference center in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, guests to countless plants and animals (wolves included) who surrounded us in the dark. We had been invited to the center to enjoy "An Evening with Paul Winter" as part of an environmental awareness festival. The moon was full, the lights in the auditorium had been dimmed, and we could barely make out each other's sil­ houettes in the moonlight. We knew that wolves enjoy such lunar splendor, that they howl in the moon's presence. So it was that with Winter's gentle urging, in solidarity with our lupine cousins, we howled.
