Dovoľ, aby som predstavil... (Let me introduce...) DIALOGUE Tom: Tak ty si zo Slovenska? Zaujímavé. Ale tam asi veľa džezu nemáte, čo? (So, you're from Slovakia? Interesting. But there’s not much jazz there, huh?) Martin: Prosím? Akože nemáme džez? To si kde počul? (Excuse me? We don’t have jazz? Where did you hear that?) Tom: No… neviem, nikdy som nepočul o žiadnom slovenskom džezmanovi. (I don’t know… I’ve just never heard of any Slovak jazz musicians.) Martin: Tak dovoľ, aby som ti predstavil Petra Lipu. Spevák, skladateľ, legenda. Spieva džez už od 60-tych rokov a dokonca po slovensky! Vieš, aké to bolo odvážne počas komunizmu? (Well then, let me introduce to you Peter Lipa. Singer, composer, legend. He’s been doing jazz since the ’60s—and get this—he sings in Slovak! You know how bold that was during communism?) Tom: Fakt? Po slovensky? A znie to dobre? (Really? In Slovak? Does it sound good?) Martin: Znie to skvele! Jeho hlas má taký zvláštny chrapľavý tón, a je perfektný pre džez. (It sounds great! His voice has this weird, raspy tone…and it's perfect for jazz. Tom: Tak to musím počuť. (I need to hear that.) Martin: A vieš čo? Jeho posledný album NOLA nahrával v New Orleans. Takže ak rodisko džezu víta Slováka, musí robiť niečo správne. (And you know what? His latest album, NOLA, was recorded in New Orleans. So, if the birthplace of jazz welcomes a Slovak, he must be doing something right.) Tom: Dobre, dobre, presvedčil si ma. Slovensko má džez. A znie to, že ho má s dušou. (Alright, alright, you’ve convinced me. Slovakia has jazz. And it sounds like it has it with soul.) Martin: Presne tak. (Exactly.)
