I question its implied claim to capture Trane. "No stars"? "All the fame and recognition"? Even given the questing spirituality of the great tenor, I would bet that he knew his mind, his skill, his dreams, his ego, his searching existence, et al, more than the poet allows, even at a young age playing r&b clubs.Ed Leimbacherhttp://www.mrebks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
