ZARATE & SAMPAYO sign here "narrative" designed. They are the ones who call it like this and dedicate, in passing, in memory of large and small jazz trumpeter Kenny Dorham, among other author of an excellent Afro-Cuban . The action takes place in France, partly in Paris, but the colors are so vibrant it's like in Barcelona in full sun. Flies swirl throughout the volume and trace arabesques in the air, as variations on a theme of Jazz, Blues Fly. They dance, speak to us in voiceover, they communicate with each other; it is they who make history. Conversely, human relations appear poor, violent. The shocking images to replace words, sexual intercourse takes the place of love discourse.
Kenny Meadows is a genius who joined trumpeter Paris by bus to a studio with a young trumpeter in Paris, creator of the theme Fly Blues . On a highway rest area, he crossed no kicking a band of thugs armed with knives and mobile phones. The flies are witnesses, and a young woman who talks to cars.
Major defects in bulk: the narrative is disjointed, probably because it is worn by millions of flies. The comic depicts a gang of young criminals whose actions are ultra-violent, but whose language (and dress codes, sign) ready to smile, wave condensed language of popular stereotypes. The script works by moods and it fits rather well to the "soundtrack" jazz, but what these embryos scattered reflection on our society declining ... when the authors feel compelled to close on a pessimistic 88-page happy ending?
In sum, the volume reads quite well and I find the two or three main characters in another story, another context. By giving as much space to the band of killers, the authors give me the impression of yielding to the temptation of the contemporary. They address a world of violence they have an idea fictionalized, unconvincingly. We do not totally rocking the world of killers, and eventually the good guys always remain safe in their citadel of art and feelings.
Fly Blues is a bit like a conflict of sensations: the bloody sensational bourgeois sensationalism. Each board his shots, and the popular comic strip! All this is good or bad, and maybe it's what I regret.
92 pages in all (the 4-page epilogue is a real happy few)
