JAKARTA - Music is a universal language. Do not recognize distance, time, even age. Furthermore, music is the key to the soul, capable of producing unexpected miracles.
Recently a video appeared on social media showing jazz trumpet player James Morrison visiting his longtime colleague Julian Lee, a pianist. Lee, hasn't played the piano since he had a stroke in nine years.
However, in the video Lee is seen playing the piano with his left hand. Share the keys with Morrison who plays with his right hand while blowing the trumpet. The chemistry between the two is very intact.
Australian jazz and swing musician Don Burrows was also caught on camera dancing beside Lee and Morrison, while Val (Lee's wife) was seen behind them.

As it turns out, this is an old video that Morisson posted on his personal YouTube channel in September last year. In the caption of the video he wrote:
"It was very special with my mentor Don Burrows and my great friend Julian Lee for that day at Mossvale. Jules (Lee's nickname) hasn't played the piano in years since having a stroke ... he's 95 this year and we celebrate his birthday. .. the music is so much fun. " Check out the full video below.
Julian Lee is nicknamed the "Golden Ear" for good reason. Unseen from birth, he has 'super' hearing which has helped him become an internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and producer. Her birth talent is evident in the video, where Lee is seen jamming effortlessly with Ella Fitzgerald's After You've Gone.
Music has power and we need to realize the spiritual importance of music. Frank Gambale, a jazz fusion guitarist from Australia, once said in an interview with GitarPlus magazine three years ago. He admits that he is not religious in any particular religion but feels the importance of the effect that music has on people.
He said, wherever he goes in the world, there are people who come to him and say how much his music means to them. There are those who are recovering from illness, whether it's cancer or otherwise, and the music from Gambale really cures them.
"My references to music have changed, I've never made music for money. I am very comfortable with the thought of realizing the spiritual importance of music. So that's what I make music with and this is my best work I've ever made. And I think, work like this will still happen in the future, "said Gambale.
The same thing happened to Yngwie Malmsteen. One of his music, Brothers, inspired Yana Mulyana, a disabled guitarist from Sumedang, who proved to everyone that his limitations can never limit him. Principles that are very good and worthy of being an inspiration to all of us.
Yana's guitar playing when delivering Brothers on a private television program in Indonesia caught the attention of the song owner. Through his Facebook account, the guitar virtuoso from Sweden expressed his admiration for people like the man who is familiarly called Kang Yana.
“I really feel blessed when my music can touch the individual personally. They can feel such energy, that their disabilities can no longer hold them back (to work), ”wrote Yngwie Malmsteen on January 3, 2015.
