My favorite Gulong novel is "The Sword of the Three Young Masters". Before the ending, the two strongest swordsmen in the world, Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan are about to fight, Xie Xiaofeng said to Yan Shisan with a smile in his eyes: "The weather is so good, the scenery is so beautiful It's so beautiful, we should at least enjoy life before we die." Then, the two men who were about to draw their swords to the death, walked at the same time, walking side by side in the sun.

My favorite novel of Gu Long is “Sword Master”. Before the end of the novel, there was a scenario: Two sword masters were going to start a sword duel. But before that, one of them said to another: ”Why don' t we take a walk before we starting to kill each other? “ And then, they agreed to take a walk under the lovely sunshine before the duel.

Chatterbeck and Lacksmith are of course not meant to fight each other, but on this record, the trumpet and the iron piano, among the seven pieces, have reached a harmony of "always on the edge of a duel", just like Xie Xiaofeng and Xie Xiaofeng. Yan Shisan's walk.

Chet Baker & Wolfgang Lackershmid weren't enemies. But if you listened to “Ballads for Two” by Chet Baker & Wolfgang Lackershmid, you would think of “the walk before duel”.

Baker at that time was no longer the handsome guy who looked like James Dean, but the vicissitudes of Arbor who had been destroyed by drugs and had his front teeth broken. There is no conflict, no competition in the human ensemble, just the sound of both wanting to achieve some kind of harmony.

Chet wasn't handsome & energetic as the Chet Baker in 1950's. Wolfgang Lackershmid was so young then. But the album was recorded in a special harmony without any conflicts.

When I was young, I listened to Chatbeck, and only listened to his works before his front teeth were broken in 1966. I presumptuously believed the opinions of my trumpet players in the classical orchestra: "How can the broken front teeth not affect the playing? The whole mouth use it all.”

I used to abandon all Chet Baker's works after 1966. And convinced my trumpeter friend told me Chet could never be the same Chet after that he was savagely beaten and broken front teeth.

As I get older, I gradually understand that there are really talented people. Even if they struggle in the journey of life, their talents will still shine through those struggles, like Chatbeck after his front teeth are broken, and his arm is full of injections. Drug-ravaged Bill Evans who still plays a moving note….

As I got older, I understood that you could never erase all the talent of some people like Chet Baker, Bird or Bill Evans. Life could beat them brutally. But you can always see the light from them.

Gu Long wrote before this peerless sword fight: "If you really understand life, you will be less sad and more happy."

Gu Long wrote in “Sword Master”: If you could fully understand the life, you would be happier & feel less sorrow.

This is a record that my wife, who is more hyegen than me, bought back in Japan. My husband and I both like it. Moreover, cats can fall asleep listening to this record.

This was a CD which bought by my wife from Japan. Both of us like it very much & our cat can fall in sleep in this CD's music.

 The album was recorded on January 8 and 9, 1979.
