Se \u00eentrerupe o frac\u0163iune de secund\u0103 din c\u00e2ntat \u015fi spune:
\n\u2013 Cristino, te m\u0103ri\u0163i cu mine?
\n\u2013 Da, cum s\u0103 nu, \u00eei r\u0103spund.
\nM\u0103 \u00eembujorez de pl\u0103cere. \u015ei de ru\u015fine, c\u0103ci to\u0163i ochii din bar o caut\u0103 pe Cristina aia, \u00eenso\u0163it\u0103 de prietenul ei, cu care Johnny R\u0103ducanu st\u0103 s\u0103 se \u00eensoare. \u00cen glum\u0103, bine\u00een\u0163eles.
\nF\u0103cusem multe film\u0103ri \u015fi destule interviuri cu el \u00een garsoniera lui mic\u0103 \u015fi \u00eel simpatizam peste m\u0103sur\u0103. C\u00e2nd cu gura spurcat\u0103, c\u00e2nd vulnerabil, se pl\u00e2ngea de s\u0103n\u0103tatea firav\u0103 \u015fi de dieta \u00een care predomina iaurtul. \u015ei, mai ales, de singur\u0103tate. Vorbea \u015fi parc\u0103 universul lui absorbea tot ce mi\u015fca prin jur. Dup\u0103 un an m-am trezit produc\u0103tor la emisiunea lui Iosif Sava de la Acas\u0103 TV. Peste noapte, a\u015fa cum se \u00eent\u00e2mpla totul \u00een trustul PRO. Iosif Sava s-a g\u00e2ndit s\u0103-l invite pe Johnny R\u0103ducanu.
\n\u2013 Suna\u0163i-l \u015fi spune\u0163i-i c\u0103-l vreau cu contrabasul. \u015etia\u0163i c\u0103 asta a fost prima lui specializare, nu?
\n\u2013 Nimic mai simplu, am r\u0103spuns, ne simpatiz\u0103m, o s\u0103 vin\u0103.
\nJohnny mi-a vorbit afectuos, ca de obicei. P\u00e2n\u0103 c\u00e2nd am adus vorba de contrabas.
\n\u2013 Nici nu se pune problema, Cristina, n-am mai c\u00e2ntat la contrabas de nu mai \u015ftiu c\u00e2nd.
\nMi-am zis c\u0103 o s\u0103 se fandoseasc\u0103 un pic \u2013 eram obi\u015fnuit\u0103 cu r\u0103sf\u0103\u0163urile arti\u015ftilor \u2013, apoi o s\u0103 accepte. Chestie de c\u00e2teva minute. Dar, surpriz\u0103!, Johnny se \u0163inea tare pe pozi\u0163ie. Plin\u0103 de respect, mi se p\u0103rea de datoria mea s\u0103-l asist t\u0103cut\u0103 \u00een baletul de refuzuri. Dar Iosif Sava \u00ee\u015fi pierdea r\u0103bdarea mult mai repede.
\n\u2013 Da\u0163i-mi-l mie, mi-a spus \u015fi mi-a luat telefonul.
\n\u2013 Iozef, \u00een\u0163elege c\u0103 nu pot s\u0103 c\u00e2nt la contrabas, se t\u00e2nguia Johnny, m\u0103 fac de r\u00e2s, de ce nu vrei s\u0103 c\u00e2nt la pian?
\nDar realizatorul o \u0163inea pe-a lui:
\n\u2013 Johnny, nu trebuie dec\u00e2t s\u0103 vii cu contrabasul \u015fi s\u0103 gemi pe el, a\u015fa cum faci tu. Ca un artist!
\nCurat compliment pentru un artist! P\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103, tot Iosif Sava a avut c\u00e2\u015ftig de cauz\u0103. Emisiunea a ie\u015fit excelent. Nici nu se putea altfel cu verva \u015fi limbajul mustos al invitatului.
\n\u00cel urm\u0103ream prin toate barurile. De abia a\u015fteptam s\u0103 vin\u0103 weekendul \u015fi s\u0103 fug la concert. Pe vremea aceea, c\u00e2nta cu Teodora Enache. C\u00e2nd era prin preajm\u0103, Johnny radia. Totdeauna o prezenta cu c\u0103ldur\u0103. Se uita la ea \u00eentr-un fel unic, cu respect \u015fi deopotriv\u0103 cu tandre\u0163e. De fapt, cu venera\u0163ie. Iar ea, c\u00e2nd c\u00e2nta cu vocea aceea plin\u0103, puternic\u0103, un pic r\u0103gu\u015fit\u0103, \u00eei r\u0103spl\u0103tea toate a\u015ftept\u0103rile. Nu se menaja niciodat\u0103. C\u00e2nta cu o imens\u0103 pl\u0103cere. Era, pur \u015fi simplu, incandescent\u0103. O artist\u0103 autentic\u0103: for\u0163\u0103 \u015fi sensibilitate \u00een aceea\u015fi m\u0103sur\u0103. Complet dedicat\u0103 muzicii. Muream dup\u0103 ea.
\nAnii au trecut \u015fi leg\u0103turile mele cu jazzul s-au \u00eentrerupt. Asear\u0103 am reu\u015fit \u00een sf\u00e2r\u015fit s\u0103 ajung la un concert: Teodora Enache \u015fi Big Band-ul Radio dirijat de Ionel Tudor. M-am g\u00e2ndit c\u0103 dup\u0103 at\u00e2\u0163ia ani s-o fi plictisit de c\u00e2ntat. C\u0103 n-o s-o mai v\u0103d pe fata aceea modest\u0103 \u015fi delicat\u0103, mai degrab\u0103 t\u0103cut\u0103, lipsit\u0103 cu totul de aere de artist\u0103. Nici vorb\u0103! A \u00eenceput s\u0103 c\u00e2nte. A doua melodie i-a dedicat-o lui Johnny R\u0103ducanu. A evocat concertele lor de la L\u0103pt\u0103ria lui Enache. \u201eS\u0103 ridice m\u00e2na cine venea la L\u0103pt\u0103rie!\u201d. Eram mul\u0163i. A c\u00e2ntat piese clasice din jazz, a improvizat al\u0103turi de sax \u015fi de trompetele din Big Band Radio. Nu s-a menajat nici o clip\u0103. Exact cum o \u015ftiam: pe via\u0163\u0103 \u015fi pe moarte. \u015ei-a prezentat noile compozi\u0163ii la care lucreaz\u0103 de \u015fapte ani. A c\u00e2ntat al\u0103turi de Young Trio de la Cluj, dou\u0103 tinere percu\u0163ioniste \u015fi o violoncelist\u0103. Nebunie, nu alta! \u00centre piese, a povestit de marii muzicieni al\u0103turi de care a evoluat \u00een lume. La fel de politicoas\u0103, de modest\u0103 \u015fi de fascinant\u0103 cum o \u015ftiam. Aceea\u015fi mare artist\u0103 la care Johnny R\u0103ducanu se uita cu venera\u0163ie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
