It was just a usual Saturday night goodtime, nothing else; the bebop winos were wailing away, the workingman tenors, the cats who worked and got their horns out of hock and blew and had their women troubles, and came on in their horns with a will, saying things, a lot to say, talkative horns, you could almost hear the words and better than that the harmony, made you hear the way to fill up blank spaces of time with the tune and very consequence of your hands and breath and dead soul; summer, August 1949, and Frisco blowing mad, the dew on the muscat in the interior fields of Joaquin and down in Watsonville the lettuce blowing, the money flowing for Frisco so seasonal and mad, the railroads rolling, extraboards roaring, crates of melons on sidewalks, bananas coming off elevators, tarantulas suffocating in the new crazy air, chipped ice and the cool interior smells of grape tanks, cool hop hepcats standing slumped with horn and no lapels and blowing like Wardell, like Brew Moore softly...all of it insane, sad, sweeter than the love of mothers yet harsher than the murder of fathers.
Jean-Louis, Jazz of the Beat Generation, 1955
And who is Jean-Louis?Just some cat that got around a lot.

Excellent playing by Dino Saluzzi. Following up the bandoneon - here's Per Arne Glorvigen playing La Rayuela (Julio De Caro)

"It's the difference between a lemon and an orange. The bandoneon is an orange, the accordion is a lemon. The accordion has an acid sound, a sharp sound. It's a very happy instrument. The bandoneon has a velvet sound, a religious sound. It was made to play sad music."
Astor Piazzolla (1921 - 1992) world famous Argentinean bandoneonist and composer.
And this is a web-site dedicated to the bandoneon: http://www.bergenmuseum.uib.no/nettutstillinger/bandoneon/lenker.html

Thanks for the Dino Saluzzi link. I thought my wife and I were the only people in the world who had even heard of him. Amazing musician.
