The journalists we can not talk of friends, especially publicly, but if I had to prepare a speech to present at the saxophonist Mario Olivera before an audience so serious and presumably learned, say: "Ladies and gentlemen, this little guy is pretty mad 18 hours a day playing tenor sax in the attic of his house, abused his poor sheepdog, garlic soaked in water stored in the refrigerator, fights with neighbors, dreams of flying over a city redder than his face and gives lectures on how long the case overhauled his old pipe and his passionate vision of the music he makes and defends to the hilt. And there will be something difficult to find in the middle of the night screaming from his feet tall: "I do not do jazz, I do not play jazz!, do not annoy me!". Ladies and gentlemen, listen to "Mi refugio" his latest and last album with the young, ever-smiling pianist Leonel Lúquez (best complement and a kind of field of flowers where the saxophonist appeased his brilliant curmudgeon madness), read, listen to this album and know what I'm talking about, because the bearded maverick saxophonist of the attic, finally found the perfect sound. That's right. For this he had to leave Rowdy hawking Piazzolla and imperceptible murmur of Jobim, in short, sounds provided. We encouraged them to say, "theUniversity with Piazzolla, Dwarf!" Because we feared his revenge. Now his saxophone sounds released and not twist up and down in a furious note that eye were good, but friends were suffering because they imagined the saxophonist volatilized in the midst of an explosion. Now Playing calm, almost scholarly as a neat disc German label ECM. And although he did not want to admit it is still playing jazz, the music he loves and hates at the same time. If you do not hear "Margarita Gauthier", a version that moves, or "Flores negras" De Caro ... Yes, I played better than the Dwarf in your life is on this CD. Ladies gentlemen, this little big man is already submitted, only listen to him play his new releases and discover the tenderness of the evil ". This would, exactly.
