The thing is that there is still so much to discover that i can't specify..renaud garcia fons, from ron carter to avishai cohen, from herbie hancock to brad mehldau..from peter bernstein to kurt rosenwinkel..from jazz to hiphop, from MPB to rock..from music to writting, from smiling to sleeping, from playing to playing to playing...

I'd like to meet:

Um momento desatento que apaga tudo num sem sentido de sentidos que fazem do nada um oceano de palavras soltas que chegam em sonho e convergem a um so ponto de fuga onde fogem de si mesmas e se estranham, como os pes que tanto voam sobre a mente iludida, como a mente que tanto estranha a tenue linha de Razao que separa destino de vida e forma tempestades de palavras que explicam o intermedio do mundo e flutuam sobre um so infinito, como velas de um barco em fuga sobre um ponto de eterno que confunde os sentidos e passa do tempo para as maos sem passar pela alma, tornando a escrita solta e as palavras livres, formando um tornado de sem sentir num mar sem sentido de letras que formam o sangue que hoje me jorra dos dedos e me escreve desatenta o branco do olhar. E aqui sigo...


God, Elis Regina and Ray Brown...

Strings reverbing in my blood with fratless vibrations, turning an empty body into a world of sound keeping the eyes awake, blinding the expression and turning eternal the smile..
