It was January 6th this year. I was walking in my apartment. I stumbled suddenly and fell off to the floor. I go my thigh bone broken in half. I got hospitalized right way and I cannot walk as yet.
I have had prostate cancer that was found in 1998. It extended to my bone now.
It has passed 9 months. But I cannot walk as yet. During passed 10 months, it's been like getting punishment. Punishment for not living without any purpose, losing every penny inherited from father. Worst of all could be that I've been living without purpose.
As I approach to the death of myself, I am forced to remind that I've been living without any clear target or purpose. In essence, I have wasted my life.
That's just awful to think about. Because, there no "once more" of my life.
Oh, the video is Red Garland's "On green Dolphin Street". I liked to show you the photo of nature. They exists to leave their children. Isn't it nice?

Hank Jones, my another favorite.
Jimmy Smith plays Drums along with Ron Carter and Hank.
Hank gave a tribute to the city of Kobe saying he's been in love. And it is true that there are lots of Japaneses who love him along with Tommy Flanagan and John Lewis. I am one of them.
Know why? Because those people never push themselves with their power and technical play as Harbie Hancock does every once in a while. The MJQ had been the Japanese favorite. They were know to play like Bach, right?
The counterpoint of John Lewis and Milt Jackson was recognized as the art not the jazz. Those quiet but heart-warming performances are the favorites of Japanese people. And I've found a typical session of Hank Jones.
The joy is that the recording is made digital. Sound is clear and it can be said to images as well. I see smile staying on Hanks lip. Yeah, he must have enjoyed quiet but heart-warning audiences in Kobe city and felt his own existence quite pleasurable.

The Count at his European concert, age 77?
I have not paid much attention to big band jazz during 60es. I had a chance to listen to his orchestra at State Room, Empire State Building, if I remember correctly.
But I was much fond of Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans and Red Garland. It took me another 10 years to find how great the Count has been. I was invited to join amatuar big band during 80es and had chance to read scores of Count Basie Band.
Thing was the ad lib by the Count is completely out of my imagination. I didn't realized that till I saw his score. No, I'd rather put it this way, "Count wouldn't let you know how different he has been and didn't even give us a hint to guess so" Right, his ad-lib so natural.
This is 55 minutes video. But is packed with popular numbers. Tear,s man, tears, I feel tears come out remembering those happy years with jazz myself.
