When it comes to jazz from that time if there is film. I probably have seen it.

"Bird" was was terrific. Forest Whitaker was amazing as Bird.

Salt Peanuts reference is funny because I love Dizzy. BeBop was freedom.

That era was a beautiful thing because the genius of those great players had an audience.

I used to dream about how cool that time and those players were. To be a player then had to reach the essence of your soul.

The music was so good. It was such a vibrant time of expression.

Watching Jo play. Damn, so clean and precise. The way he plays. Not wild. Controlled fury but tight. Everything is in his wrists and hands. His elbows stay tight to his body.

When I get on a binge of this music I get lost for days.
