Snooker and Jazz
have one thing
in common.
For the participants
there are long periods
of doing
nothing.
When Coltrane takes a solo
Miles is in the wings
smoking and
chatting.
When Robertson is making
a one four seven break
O’Sullivan
is sitting in the corner
blowing his nose and
rubbing an eye.
In these moments
the player as human
is revealed.
Out of negative space time
the next solo is loaded up,
the dramatic comeback
is
plotted.
Brilliant.
