Dizzy Gillespie All-Stars Really 'Rock'

GILLESPIE is an inspiration!  His All-Star groups are so fabulous.  One of the best men holding all this jazz strength together is the genius jazz bassist, the incomparable John Lee.  Hearing the bass work of John Lee at The Blue Note last Tuesday night energized me so much...His work on two Diz tunes...'Birks' Works' and 'Tin Tin Deo' was truly fantastic.  Another superior man is the elegant Cyrus Chesnut.  Last Tuesday his All-Star performance on the charged, emotional 'My Funny Valentine' was so very, very strong.

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.
