Zoot Sims: A Huge Talent on the Tenor Saxophone

TENOR SAX music is very powerful..I listened early today to the grandiose tones of finite joy coming from the big tenor of the lucid, ingenous sax man, Zoot Sims.  This guy with his work heavily influenced by Ben Webster and the super fellow, Lester Young, had so much vibrant jazz style.  When a soul listens to Zoot Sims with that strong elegance of swing, well then one realizes that this is what jazz is all about.

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.
