ΠΕΤΡΟΣ ΤΟΥΡΤΟΥΡΗΣ:
Την Τρίτη 14 του Ιούλη το απόγευμα χάσαμε και τον Πέτρο...
Στην Εγνατία μετά το Αλκαζάρ- έπεσε με τη μηχανή σε λακκούβα
-έργα μετρό- χτύπησε με προπορευομενο αυτοκίνητο και έπεσε στη λεωφορειολωρίδα.
Το λεωφορείο -που ποτέ δεν είναι στην ώρα του- βρέθηκε εκεί. Ένα ακόμα
"ατύχημα"... Το δεύτερο στο ίδιο σημείο σε 15 μέρες...
Δεκαπέντε μέρες πριν ήταν μαζί μας στην Κρήτη, όπως και πέρσι.
Ταμένος φίλος του Κώστα από την εποχή των μαθητικών καταλήψεων στις Συκιές,
συγκλονισμένος από το δικό του "ατύχημα" έφυγε ή μάλλον διώχτηκε
βίαια κι αυτός στα τριάντα τρία του. Κι αυτός στο κέντρο της πόλης.
Λέμε πως πρέπει να σπάσουμε τον κύκλο της σιωπής και της
ανωνυμίας που μας επιβάλλει ο καθωσπρεπισμός και τα συμφέροντα των ΜΜΕ.
-ΔΕΝ ΥΠΑΡΧΟΥΝ ΤΡΟΧΑΙΑ ΑΤΥΧΗΜΑΤΑ.
-ΥΠΑΡΧΟΥΝ ΜΟΝΟ ΑΤΙΜΩΡΗΤΕΣ ΔΟΛΟΦΟΝΙΕΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΣΦΑΛΤΟ.
-ΝΑ ΟΡΓΑΝΩΣΟΥΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΟΡΓΗ ΜΑΣ.
Το καθαρό του βλέμμα
και το ίσιο δυνατό κορμί του μας επιβάλει παρ όλο τον πόνο να σταθουμε και μείς
έτσι: όρθιοι και καθαροί, να μη ξεχάσουμε αλλά και να μην αφήσουμε αναπάντητες αυτές
τις δολοφονίες.
He was a talented young man He was a generous young man He was gifted and from a tender young age He had rhythm in his hands
And when I met him, in the club that night As we talked, I felt in my heart That one day I’ll be watching him Playing with the Stars He shines, He shines, He shines
Kostas, play for me …
Thank you for the music Thank you for the rhythm Thank you for the spirit Thank you for the dedication Ευχαριστώ
And when I met you, in the club that night As we talked, I felt in my heart That one day I’ll be watching you Playing with the Stars You shine …

I am glad to see that the memory of Kostas remains among us. He was a great sweet and soft spoken guy. Although he was presented as a child prodigy he was to my opinion a late bloomer, he was the kind of musician that slowly but surely with hard work, consistency and deep thinking was going to leave an unforgettable mark in the music. I had the pleasure to play with him on one of the now legendary K. Maginas' tours all over Greece. Kostas consciousness, dedication to music, humility and kindness made the performances and the tour easy and joyful. Like a great bottle of wine that gets better and better while aging and becoming a legendary vintage he was on its way to greatness. Unfortunately a stupid behaviour that our society excuses so easily destroy not only a life but the opportunity for all of us to witness drums playing at its best. it is always easy to destroy but so so difficult to create beauty. Kostas will remain in my thoughts and heart and everytime I come to Greece I think of him, everytime I see a young drummer I think of him, when people ask me who's a great jazz drummer in Greece his name always pump up as if he were alive and he will remain for the eternity among the young jazz players that lost their lives too fast... I know he is having a jam in Heaven with Scott Lafaro, Clifford Brown and Richie Powell.... May the memory of Kostas never die and may his death changes the mentality in Greece.
