Well, come on, it’s just a bit past Ferragosto (the Feast of the Assumption of Mary, let’s hope for an open-ended contract)... And what could be better than a nice slice of watermelon? Well, the original, or at least the most beautiful version, from the album of the same name by Herbie Hancock, I hope you already know it (and if you don’t, fix that right away). Here’s a slightly different version for you. On stage, Kenny Garrett and Bill Evans (not the pianist) definitely drunk. The bass and guitar aren’t gynecologists, but they can take a look, and the drummer understands (at least in my opinion). Herbie is pulling the strings. And there’s a pianist whose name they don’t mention... Ah, then there’s Miles... Well, Miles was an asshole... (quote)...
