Max Décharné is a musician—a former member of Gallon Drunk, now the singer with The Flaming Stars—and the author of Hardboiled Hollywood and King's Road. He lives in hope that the world will pay closer attention to the theories of the anonymous British newspaper writer in 1919 who claimed to have discovered the origins of jazz, and put it all down to "grotesque and indecent movements invented by drunken cowboys in the Argentine."
