    28/7/2018 quaderni d'altri tempi LETTURE / The Mantis – for Cecil Taylor – 1966-2009 – The collected pomes di Steve Dalachinsky Poesia e musica, storia di un incontro di Erika Dagnino Steve Dalachinsky, poeta contemporaneo dell’area newyorkese attivo sulla scena free jazz collaborando con musicisti tra cui William Parker, Susie Ibarra, Matthew Shipp, Roy Campbell, Mat Maneri, Federico Ughi, ha recentemente pubblicato la raccolta The Mantis – for Cecil Taylor – 1966-2009 – The Collected Pomes. È lo stesso Dalachinsky nelle Confessions of a Free Jazz ‘Cultist’, rilasciate alla scrivente (tradotte con Marco Bertoli), ad esporre il percorso artistico e di vita che l’ha portato all’incontro con Cecil Taylor e all’inscindibilità tra parola e musica. – CONFESSIONS OF A FREE JAZZ ‘CULTIST’ – Sono nato a Brooklyn poco tempo dopo l’ultima grande Guerra e sono riuscito a sopravvivere a molte piccole guerre (c’è forse nascosta una lezione, qui?) e dato che attualmente guerre, seppure più piccole, congiurano a determinare le nostre vite, mi sento frustrato da gente sempre schierata. C’è solo un unico partito pro-life (non nel senso fondamentalista cristiano, nel senso di ‘sovvenziona il malato di mente’ – fund-a-mental – Dalachinsky), ed è tutta la vita, ogni cosa che è riuscita a sopravvivere quanto me su questo globo vivente, anch’esso in costante lotta per la vita. Ok, basta. Ora “Il poema della mia vita” – musica. Un critico di musica del New York Times ora in pensione, una volta mi descrisse come un Free Jazz Cultist. E un compositore e saxofonista famoso in città chiamò me e mia moglie, con cui sono sposato da trent’anni e che fortunatamente condivide la mia passione per l’arte e come me è poeta e artista visuale, Jazz Snobs.
