Jazz history is believed to be related to jasm, a slang term dating back to 1860, meaning 'pep, energy'. The earliest written record of the word is in a 1912 article in the Los Angeles Times in which a minor league baseball pitcher described a pitch which he called a 'jazz ball' "because it wobbles and you simply can't do anything with it."

MVL was a writer and a privileged person because he  knew how to read and write, and  had an audience,who respected him.

His followers repressed and put people in prison or even killed others if you are killed because you are a writer, that’s the maximum expression of respect. ... It is a moral obligation of a writer in Latin America to be involved in civic activities, as he was known to say.
