Summary

Mehmed Begić: Letters from Panama - detective jazz

"What is jazz? "The spirit of openness", in the words of the great pianist Herbie Hancock, or "life itself is the best when you improvise!", as the immortal George Gershwin reminded us long ago. Mehmed Begić, a Herzegovinian poet of global biography with a Caribbean address, really knows how to improvise. He already proved this with his extraordinary poetry books Small Hours in Managua, Dangerous Man and Morphine Time, because his sentence is originally melancholic, and in the end, piercing like the pointed sound of the trumpet of the unfortunate Lee Morgan, which with difficulty breaks through the gelatinous darkness of Los Angeles. And right there on the neon strip where only the most daring take off their snake skins in a slow striptease, lest they find their new "me" in the lizard festival of identity exchange, hidden perhaps only a few blocks away from the "joint" where the once corpulent Charles Baron Mingus staggered on top of the bar table improvising an unprecedentedly brazen double bass solo on Body and Soul. Begić's Letters from Panama not only abound with "bodies and souls" from the world of jazz and rock music, but are also epistolary educational to a large extent, because if you have never heard of Kyle Eastwood, Ben Allison, Bill Callahan, Cat Power, Lhasa del Sela or God forbid Ben Webster, all the better for you, because Mehmed Begić will tell you about them in this "late night" book (jazz is by the way's night music!) served extremely gallantly and subtly, like some invigorating exotic dish that is still smoked from the (gramophone) plate, and without which, I responsibly claim, your spiritual metabolism will not be able to function in the future. Because each of those names is a verified voucher for an unrepeatable journey whose starting point is right there on the delicate folds of words and melody. But to cut it short, I simply don't know if there is a poet in the region or beyond today who is capable of turning music into text as alchemically as Mehmed Begić. So take a look freely in the manner of a free jazzer in the mailbox of your new reading and offer your hand without hesitation, because Letters from Panama are not a debt account, but a tribute to someone's life adventures."
- Damir Šodan's review of "Letters from Panama - detective jazz."
