On Playing Jazz

Making Jazz is a very naked thing to do. That anyone can do anything at all but stand there in paralyzed amazement when the chord changes are going by, the musicians can function with minimal premeditation and great creativity within the materials of a song's structure, is more remarkable than even the most expert practitioners themselves seem to appreciate. It requires both tremendous knowledge, whether intuitive or acquired, and the physical reflexes of an athlete. Jazz is not only one of the most striking achievements in the history of music, it is one of the most striking achievements in the history of human thought.

Enrique didn't like to be called 'Maestro' although he really was one. My good friend left us a great legacy of knowledge and friendship that makes him unforgettable. He was a great jazz musician, he made Mexico proud. This song was written by Enrique for his production "The New Mexican Sound" with German Palomares Oviedo (greetings my friend!).
We miss you Fizz...


Enrique nunca quiso que nadie le dijera "maestro", y lo era en toda la extensión de la palabra. Mi buen amigo nos dejó un legado de conocimiento y de amistad que lo hacen inolvidable. Gran jazzista orgullo de Mexico, esta es una canción que Enrique escribió para su co-producción con German Palomares Oviedo (a quien mando un abrazo) "The New Mexican Sound".
Yo si me considero un discípulo de Enrique Nery, aunque yo no sé si el hubiera querido considerarse mi maestro por lo mal que toco....
Te extrañamos Fizz...
