The most perfect jazz instrumental piece ever written is "Playera" by Dave Grusin, composed by Enrique Grandos and Carlos Molina. It is available on Mr. Grusin’s “Collections,” LP, GRP music (1989). It is a truly global piece of music, one that reminds me of everyplace I’ve ever been - New York City, where I was born, Rome, Milan, Florence, Pompei, Naples, and Pisa – and every other place I’d like to one day visit around the world like South Africa. It is a piece that might be equaled among jazz instrumentals one day (and likely has been) but certainly not surpassed. Take this work, along with my book to negative and positive infinity, and you will probably see that they are two of the most perfect works in creation itself. Just see who has the judgment here; this is a prophet; this is God. The secret to creating art this beautiful is loving the poor and theaching them to love, to reach out to, and to nurture one another.
Love,
The Creator
