Republica Danga
„ Danga nu e, adică e pretutindeni. Este o insulă, compusă din pulberea unei planete îndepărtate, unde legile fizicii terestre nu sunt chiar atât de riguroase. Aici nu se știe prea bine dacă oamenii mint, visează, sau trăiesc cu adevarat „

Intr-o zi de 13 mai.....s-a stins Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr.
At about 3:10 am on May 13, 1988, Baker was found dead on the Prins Hendrikkade, near the Zeedijk, the street below his room in Hotel Prins Hendrik in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with serious wounds to his head, apparently having fallen from the second floor window.[9] Heroin and cocaine were found in the room and an autopsy also detected these drugs in his body. There was no evidence of a struggle, and the death was ruled an accident. A plaque outside the hotel memorializes him. The room in which he was staying, No. 210, is named "The Chet Baker Room"
...Baker was in and out of jail frequently before enjoying a career resurgence in the late 1970s and '80s.....

"(n. 26 mai 1926, Alton, Illinois – d. 28 septembrie 1991, Santa Monica, California) a fost un trompetist şi compozitor american de jazz, una din cele mai influente, inovatoare şi originale personalităţi muzicale din istoria jazz-ului din secolul al XX-lea.
Miles Davis se naşte dintr-o familie afro-americană, fiu al unui dentist din St. Louis. Mama sa, Cleo Henry, o pianistă talentată, ar fi dorit ca fiul ei să înveţe vioara, dar, la aniversarea vârstei de 13 ani, tatăl său îi dăruieşte o trompetă şi Davis începe să studieze acest instrument cu un maestru local, Elwood Buchanan, un solist al orchestrei lui Andy Kirk. La vârsta de 15 ani, apare pentru prima dată în public cu grupul lui Eddie Randall. În 1945, după o scurtă colaborare cu Charlie Parker în grupul lui Billy Eckstine, pleacă la New York, unde obţine o bursă de studiu la Julliard School of Music. Majoritatea timpului o petrece însă studiind stilurile lui Thelonious Monk, Coleman Hawkins şi, în special, ale lui Charlie Parker şi Dizzy Gillespie, în perioada stabilirii mişcării Bebop. Cu Charlie "Bird" Parker realizează în 1946 prima sa înregistrare, printre care "Now's The Time", care anticipă deja întoarcerea la melodie, tipică pentru stilul cool al perioadei imediat următoare."

Eric Allan Dolphy, Jr. (June 20, 1928 – J 1964) was an American jazz alto saxophonist, flutist and bass clarinetist who gained prominence in the 60s. He was one of the first important bass clarinet soloists in jazz, extended the vocabulary and boundaries of the alto saxophone, and was among the earliest significant jazz flute soloists. Although Dolphy's work is sometimes classified as free jazz, his compositions and solos were often rooted in conventional (if highly abstracted) tonal bebop harmony and melodic lines that suggest the influences of modern classical composers Béla Bartók and Igor Stravinsky.
Ahmad Jamal (born Frederick Russell Jones, July 2, 1930) is an American jazz pianist, composer, group leader, and educator. For five decades, he has been one of the most successful small-group leaders in jazz.[1]
The Ahmad Jamal Trio's 1958 album "But Not For Me" may have confounded critics, but it changed the direction of the jazz-piano trio, influencing such great names as Peterson, Evans and Davis. The recording remains one of jazz's most elegant recordings.
