I knew nothing about Jazz until the day I listened to the Jazz Radio Channel on the flight from London to Hong Kong last month. I was attracted to the song "Let's Fall in Love" by Diana Karll. I told myself, maybe this year, I should pick one more kind of music to indulge in other than pop which is Jazz. I did search for some CDs in HMV alone. Entering the Jazz corner there, I was lost. I really didn't know how to pick the good one among hundreds with horrible CD covers in bad design. I gave up and one month past.
Today, when I rearranged the music folder in my computer, I opened a folder in a coincidence where the songs I got from Aiko on the day she stayed over in my home in Tokyo and copied them into my computer. I didn't know that one of the songs she left me was Diana Krall's "A Case of You" originally by Joni Mitchell. Then, I cried. If she was still here, I shouldn't be so lost to ask about the Jazz World. She was such a good Jazz vocalist even her boyfriend said her voice was like Nina Simone. If she was still here, I think I am now making a call to her to share every topic with her, including the Chiang Mai trip I decided to make it today..... 4 days later and it has been one year she left us, is the discovery today delibrately directed by her to make me think of her?
