Sarah Vaughan, Billy Eckstine: So Fine!

Sarah Vaughan is a woman who knows how to really craft a song. Make it have meaning and some edge and I believe that is the kind of artist one can really enjoy. A man who can match Sarah Vaughan well in the singing business is the immaculate vocalist, Billy Eckstine. He did beautiful work in his time. I like a Sarah Vaughan and Billy Eckstine "Apollo" gig. The sounds are fresh and endearing. But I must confess when I heard the fine composition, 'Once in a While' today (by Sarah Vaughan) I was so tickled. It's good when musicians and singers make us happy. We need lots of joy nowadays. Jazz vocal styling is a great life experience.

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.
