Salvatore Joseph Mosca
Sal Mosca, one of our great masters, nobody knows about him. Even my Ph.D. students never heard of him. I mean, I love my country, but we sure feel we can waste a lot of talent and it's not gonna affect us. (Энтони Брэкстон, декабрь 1992 года). Кстати, его альбом For You (Solo Piano) (Choice, 1979), который добирался ко мне из солнечного Токио почти два года из-за пандемии, плавно перетекшей в войну, является посвящением Ленни Тристано, покинувшим этот мир в ноябре 1978-го. Lenny Tristano... my friend and teacher of 31 years... he was my greatest booster. He is dead now, he died on November 18, 1978, and I dedicate this album to his memory. I'll miss him and so will many others.
