Gerry Mulligan, baritone saxophone giant
Today, I got into listening to some rather different jazz music. By that, I mean I got into really digging the strong jazz music of the quite innovative, Mr. Gerry Mulligan on baritone saxophone. I know the bari sax is quite hard to play, cause when I was a student many moons ago a close friend played the baritone saxophone and did a truly fantastic job. The guy went on to grand things getting some very high posts in university academic circles. When I truly got my noggin' into getting right in there with Mr. Mulligan's shiny jazz solos today, well Lord it was a gigantic good feeling. Listen to the super work on that big horn, the baritone saxophone and you'll find yourself having some good 'ole whoop it up musical funtime.

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.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
