  Expressive. Makes me think of amazing short story about saxophonist by Julio Cortazar, the best ever description of musician.

  thank you Nikira. I did my best to show all the life on Chet Baker’s face. It’s a maze of wrinkles, the story of a troubled life.

  I’d like to read the description you told me. Can you write me the title of the opera?

  I saw your blog. It’s very very nice.

  Bye

  “El Perseguidor” (“The Pursuer”), was based on the life of the jazz musician Charlie Parker.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julio_Cortázar
  This is in Russian:
  Художник, живущий в нем, всегда задыхался бы от
  ярости, слыша эту пародию на желанное самовыражение, на все то,
  что ему хотелось сказать, когда он боролся, раскачиваясь, как
  безумный, исходя слюной и музыкой, наедине, совсем наедине с тем,
  что он преследует, что ускользает от него, и тем быстрее, чем
  настойчивее он преследует.
  Bad translation:
  The artist living in him, always would choke from
  Furies, hearing this parody to desired self-expression, to all that,
  That he would like to tell, when he struggled, being shaken, as
  Mad, proceeding a saliva and music, alone, absolutely alone with that,
  That it pursues that escapes it, and that faster, than
  More persistently it pursues.
