Wes Montgomery: Beginnings



Milt Jackson: The Wizard of the Vibes



One of the schools of Tlön
goes so far as to negate time;
it reasons that the present
is indefinite, that the future
has no reality other than
as a present hope,
that the past has
no reality other than
as a present memory.
Another school declares
that all time
has already transpired
and that our life is only
the crepuscular and
no doubt falsified
and mutilated memory
or reflection of
an irrecoverable process.
Another, that the history of
the universe — and in it our lives and the most tenuous detail of our lives — is the scripture produced by a subordinate god in order to communicate with a demon. Another, that the universe is comparable to those cryptographs in which not all the symbols are valid and that only what happens every three hundred nights is true. Another, that while we sleep here, we are awake elsewhere and that in this way every man is two men.
--Jorge Luis Borges
