The Jazz Sensuality

The work that you are holding in your hands emerge with the reading of “La Espiral” from Italo Calvino. The text attracted to me because of the way the author describes the seduction between two mollusks in the ocean.

As a reflex action it comes to my head the jazz, since I consider  this kind of music the best representation of the seduction between the musicians and the public, and also, among people from the same public.

In fact, jazz has that strenght, that potential to create a magic and charming space where it is listened. It delights every single person who allows himself to be bewitched by its melody while is moved in his own thoughts, in his own imagination.

However, jazz’s essence is perceptible just in a context where each detail, each gesture, each look has the jazz’s aroma. I am talking about the Sunset Club of Girona, a particular bar where those people who are looking for the anonymity can hide themselves, but also where those who just want to spend a good time can listen a great live concert.

That is how jazz, as the water between the two mollusks from Italo Calvino, can found a strong bond between two people who didn’t know them previously. An ephemeral tie that is also very intens if we take in consideration its origin, the music.  

But if you don’t belive me, gaze the following photographs that I stole from the amazing jazz club one friday night…
