Coltrane's rapture; Designers' joyfulness

Strong emotion sweeps madly over one when a person is confronted with the innovative jazz sounds of the one and only magnificent tenor saxophonist, Mr. John Coltrane. And when he has one of the profound men like Curtis Fuller on the trombone, then it is a heady libation of musical joy. That's what it is. Coltrane's work in the late 1950s had such vigor and yet such a poignant, poetic sweep. Coltrane knows how to really get a ballad going with just the right musical nuances. Great artists in jazz are just like the super artful people, the fine designers. Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg and of course Donna Karan all have that elegant sense of esthetic style and like the great Coltrane, Karan, von Furstenberg and Kors they have such a marvelous impact on the wonderful American arts scene. So many delicious aspects can electrify our inner beings. Indeed as the masterful French literary giant, Gustave Flaubert intimated, the furniture of the story is vital to the overall joyful pastiche. Good jazz ballads, grand fashion, literary wunderkins...all these exciting true personas of joy can bring enriched new dimension and meaning into the complex fabric of our lives.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
