Overview

Welcome to Jazztown where all men and women are artists in search of their souls. The gutter is the great equalizer and no one is beyond the reach of her pull. A trumpet player coaxes nirvana from his battered horn, a torch singer finds the core, a dancer touches the heart of a heartless man, a leather goddess roams the underbelly, a poet falls in love and all our dreams are realized ... for better or for worse. The stories, poems and images in this collection date back to 1996-97 when Random Erotica and Tales from Jazztown were published in handbook form. Asked for his comments, noted poet-musician-artist Jake Berry wrote: There be saints of the native soil here, and Christ what a story: Our visionary slashed by seductive wench, our souls abandoned in timeless cinema of souls - all soul's night howling at me from the page! America's Intercultural Magazine (AIM) originally published Burning Churches. Lynx Eye published Wild Man of Albuquerque and Fatal Flaw. The Trumpet Player and The Torch Singer were published in Mobius.

Author Information

Jack Random is the author of numerous novels, political essays, poems, plays and short stories. He is a writer and therefore he is what he writes. In the end it may be that we can never truly know another human being. We know what we gather through the senses. We know the observable, the persona or the exterior of an individual without depth or shading. We know the mythology of a man. We get no more than a glimpse of the great mystery that is everyman or everywoman. Jack Random is a writer. He is what he writes. Nothing more. Nothing less.
