hero together way
In those days before hearing Charlie Parker and Dizzy, and before learning of the so-called bebop era--by the way, I have some thoughts about that word, "bebop"--my first jazz hero ever, jazz improvisor hero, was Lester Young. I was a big "Lester Young-oholic," and all of my buddies were Lester Young-oholics. We'd get together and dissect, analyze, discuss, and listen to Lester Young's solos for hours and hours and hours. He was our god.

I've seen people get exploited in Hollywood because of poor representation. From what I've seen, these two men have their clients' best interests at heart, as does everyone else involved in the project. I think we are going to produce a movie that does the story justice.
