Dear Macaco, I have been passionate about jazz for thirty years, and I know well the story of Art Pepper, his long stays in San Quentin, his drug addiction, and especially that cement face he had in the last years of his life, a face he never hid, indeed, prominently featured on the covers of his last records. Moreover, his music from those final years. Pepper had completely lost the technique of building solos but maintained his ability to evoke deep emotions, resulting in those last records of his, imperfect and moving like very few others. With all these elements, the jump to imagining a story, at this point, is very brief. A grateful greeting.

Anyway, congratulations to you. You manage well with jazz, huh...

The piece on Benny Carter is nice and pleasant. It’s also a stylistic exercise, a game that brings together two things that cannot be brought together. I'm not falling for it.

But you, Pinhead, surely with a sly grin, provoke me to prove that it's not true that the Ramones are better than Art Pepper.
But I won’t fall into the trap.
Because if I fell for the bait, we would launch into a discussion of absolute uselessness. Heaven forbid!

...if you can do it.

leave Amon Duul alone and seek YOUR story and your originality.

you link your experiments to those of certain Krautrock, Amon Duul or Guru Guru in the name of self-expression, saying no, etc.
It doesn’t seem acceptable to me ALFAMA. You can’t act as if History doesn’t exist.
A cut in a canvas by Fontana is auctioned off for a million euros.
Try to make a cut in the canvas yourself ALFAMA, exactly the same, I mean precisely identical. You’ve ruined a canvas and now you can’t sell it even for a euro. Too bad because without the cut you might have sold it for 70 or 80 cents.
Blame it on History.
But History exists.

damn those typos!!!

Anyway, thank you for the appreciation. It’s always nice to hear.

Actually, now that I think about it, familiarity with jazz, in this case, could even be a hindrance.
