Overview

Blessed is an album by the American composer, saxophonist and clarinet player Joe Maneri, with his son, violinist Mat Maneri, recorded in 1997 and released on the ECM label. Reception The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated: "It has within it the basis of a new study of harmonic improvisation, and a manner of execution and construction that show respect and tenderness not only toward one another as family, but to the music they approach with the sole intention of changing it from the inside out. Blessed is remarkable for its close dancing with the infinite".

“May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.”
— Anonymous Irish blessing, as quoted in The Puppet Master (2009) by Jan Coffey.
“Life is a creative endeavor. It is active, not passive. We are the yeast that leavens our lives into rich, fully baked loaves. When we experience our lives as flat and lackluster, it is our consciousness that is at fault. We hold the inner key that turns our lives from thankless to fruitful. That key is "Blessing."”
— Julia Cameron, Blessings : Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life (1998).
“I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.”
— Genesis 32:26 (KJV).
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
— Jesus Christ as quoted in Acts 20:35 (AKJV).
“Blessedness is not the reward of virtue, but virtue itself. We do not enjoy blessedness because we keep our lusts in check. On the contrary, it is because we enjoy blessedness that we are able to keep our lusts in check.”
— Baruch Spinoza, Ethics (1677), Book 5, Proposition 42, as translated by Samuel Shirley, Complete Works (2002), p. 382
“Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.”
