En cascade, je découvrai Parker, Coltrane, et bien d'autres noms juqu'à ce que je ne tombe émerveillé par le travail de Wayne Shorter sur " Speak no evil","JuJu"," Night dreamer", dont les harmonies si particulières et la poésie lunaire qui s'en dégagent nevaitme prennent des centaines d'heures dans mon petit appartement de la rue du Chai des farines à bordeaux où hélas, un type que j'avais voulu aider à sortir de la rue avait fini par emporter mon Mark 6 Selmer.....s'en était suivi une longue suite d'évènements tragiques(L'abïme conduit souvent à l'Abïme) dont il serait trop long de faire l'étal ici sinon que de raconter que huit ans après, ayant découvert à c�'té de chez moi deux musiciens avec lesquels j'ai pu apprendre des morceaux très complexes de musiques traditionnels d'Irlande, rencontrant des années après deux autres musiciens faisant la même chose, lors d'une tournée en Bretagne, allant acheter des anches dans un petit magasin de musique, je découvrais, O stupéfaction dans la vitrine, posé tel un trésor oublié, le saxophone que l'on m'avais volé !
