Good fish, Coleman Hawkins and 'Bird'
Eating good fish like grouper, bream or trout is so much fun. Tasty and so perfect. Kind of like diggin' good tenor saxophone playing. A favorite sax man of mine is the immortal tenor guy, Coleman Hawkins. It is hard to get a beautiful tone from a tenor, sometimes. But Coleman Hawkins could beautifully nail it each and every time. Listened today to an elegant number called 'Ballade' with Coleman Hawkins and the grand Charlie 'Bird' Parker on alto saxophone. Most people know Charlie 'Bird' Parker for his high-flying alto solos, but Mr. Charlie Parker could get mighty interesting with a slow composition, also. Good fish and super saxophone from Coleman Hawkins and his friend, Charlie Parker...well that's a "somethin' else" scene.

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....
