Billy Taylor.......Jazz Pianist Who Captivates

Billy Taylor is a jazz piano guy with incredible speed. His fingers fly across the keyboard. His 1951 version of 'What Is This Thing Called Love' is sensational. With him on this ditty I dug today was the vivid, powerful man of the bass, the sleek genius, Charles Mingus. The combination of Billy Taylor and Charles Mingus is greatness, indeed! I feel fantastic being able to dig this kind of passionate jazz.

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.
