Jorge's image of Chet Baker reaches right down into the creative sorrow of the man. Bret, you are a tzaddik. I don't have any immediate jazz friends in my world right now. I miss you. Isn't that strange?
Always love your articles and jazz stories. I don’t remember where I read it or if it’s true but on Cannonball the story was that originally the nickname was Cannibal due to the way he ate, being a big man, then it just morphed into Cannonball. Been a fan since my teens and liked the story true or not. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy.
I love this. You are 100% on Jazz; we connect no matter where we are, what language we speak, etc. This writing makes me want to go to Mexico City on my way to visiting with you and your wife in Guanajuato.

This piece transcends mere information communication. Thank you again, Brett. I hope that. It circulates far beyond the Justice brotherhood.
Blessings.

so wonderful - a joy to read and be there with you...
Booze you lose, dope there is hope!
Loved your descriptions of jazz. (Have just been writing about "jazz" and it's subtexts in the '70s -1670s, that is.)
Inspirational truth is spoken in this post. Thanks!
