Jim Hall, Sonny Rollins: Strong Jazz Guys

It makes me happy to hear a great jazz guitarist, a person who understands the creative flow that is truly needed in fine jazz artistry. Such a grand guitar man is Jim Hall. And when you pair the eloquent tenor saxophone guy Sonny Rollins with Jim Hall, well then it is a feisty, delightful musical experience. Sonny Rollins has such a huge persuasive tenor sound that is so compelling and when you pair the shiny and so flowing linear, improvisatory lines of Jim Hall with Sonny Rollins then this is a large superior recipe for stream of consciousness jazz success. This Hall and Rollins totality of sound can inspire, indeed nudge us on to new literary heights kind of make new Roths out of us souls who like to write. Listening today to Jim Hall and Sonny Rollins surely made my Sunday afternoon sparkle.

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.
